  1. Awesome, thanks!
  2. Are these bases the same as the translucent roof lighting panels that came with sci-fi 3?
  3. I love Yamato 1/48’s and still buy them even after the DX released when I see a good enough deal. BUT, the DX is a big improvement over it in many ways. Mainly, it is structurally more solid and articulated.
  4. Agreed! Most of my display cases don’t have doors on them. I have a dedicated collection library that I keep completely shut except when entering/exiting. It seems to help as dust in there is pretty minimal. But then again, I barely go in there because it is actually a storage room filled to the brim with boxes currently, lol.
  5. I guess it depends on the quality of glass. Technically, there are Ultra HD images transmitting through glass displays right now. But depending on how close you are looking, your eyes should be able to pick up way beyond any technical term for resolutions we have available right now. That’s a sweet shot by the way. You probably took the picture through a glass lens too.
  6. Max 1S is my most wanted Valk right now in any form, and I would take all three! Arcadia, DX and HMR.
  7. Again, looks great to me as is. If they add more details to it, cool. Take away some, still cool. Only thing I care about is getting the skulls tampoed and I'll be happy. As for Arcadia products being available, I think it has to do with them somewhat basing production on preorder numbers and keeping the orders open until right before manufacturing. Kinda like TWE products. Since they are a small operation that depends on only a few items a year to stay in business versus thousands like Bandai, it makes sense for them to make plenty available to everyone who wants it even after release day.
  8. That looks pretty good! If anything, I'd try to yellow the parts that didn't yellow to match the rest.
  9. That paint job doesn't look like lazy work to me...
  10. Really nice! I always think about how many more toys I can get for the price of displays for them. But the display does make enjoying the toys better.
  11. This is a job for a Yeti detolf adapter.
  12. I love the beefy 1/48 GBP too. If you are going to sell, please LMK. I wouldn’t mind another one. Thanks!
  13. Yeah, I got a bunch of Hikaru 1Js too, it’s not that I don’t like it, just not as much as almost every other version. Again, except with GBP which puts it on a whole other level.
  14. Yeah, I was never a fan of Hikaru’s 1J...Except with GPB, all covered up, which is then probably my favorite all time.
  15. Damn, I know I am insane but @Kicker773, you are a pure madman! I mean that in the best way possible.
  16. Ah, that's also good to know. You got pics of your setup that you can share?
  17. Oh cool, but only in brown huh? Either way, good to know.
  18. I’ve been searching for an off the shelf solution like that but surprisingly I never found one. That looks good but I don’t think it’s available in US ikeas but I’ll look into it. Thanks!
  19. Nice! For someone who didn’t have Super Robots on the radar, you have me, who has loved and collected Super Robots since childhood drooling over your collection. Thing about Getter Emperor that bugs me most is how tiny it is. I could live with the lack of tabs and fiddlyness but what’s the point of a Super robot collection where the one that should be the biggest is one of the smallest. It’s like having a Transformers collection with a minibot sized Unicron.
  20. So, here is the adapter for a Lego Star Destroyer that should weigh in about that range: https://www.yetistand.com/product/75055-lego-star-destroyer-wall-mount-adapter You can see it connects two arms together for extra strength.
  21. Nice collection of Super Robots you are building up. I just got my SOC Getter Emperor today but I'm scared to open it based on reviews. There is a clamp adapter for yetistands made for 1/6 style figures. There are also adapters for stuff like big LEGO sets (I remember specifically for the UCS Slave I). The acrylic arms are super solid and bolted together so they will hold anything that you feel is stable on them. You could also configure them to use multiple arms with multiple attachement points for really big items. basically, the possibilities with these stands are endless with everything modular and custom attachment parts fairly easily created and made. If you have any ideas or needs, contacting @ChaoticYeti is very easy and he will most likely work with you or advise based on existing parts.
  22. Yeah, I want it all! Light color would be cool to match my old original toys better but overall I like the darker deco that we got. Vader and Tie-Interceptor are high on the list. It’s just a pain to see them stacked on shelves at msrp and then completely disappear when they are on clearance. Just price them reasonably to begin with! It’s funny though, my wife was happy for me for finally getting one but after she checked it out, she was impressed with the cockpit detail and said that part was worth $10 but the rest is junk. Lowest clearance price was $10 Nice!
