Now that my Ballchinian mate, is saying something!!! Coming from the king of Valkyrie poseability with limited space, I must take three steps back and kneel myself! MaveRick has truyly set the bar for this thread. I hope I am able to use some of his techniques and create some nice displays and photos myself...no time soon though! Awesome pics Mave and again, much respect to the king of poses for passing on the crown! MM OO

One more question. Is that script on the leg of the Angel Bird tampoed or is that a sticker? As well as the #1 on the tail fin. I'm assuming that is a custom???

Oh hell yeah!!! The Hikky's are off the chain bro-ham!!! I need to check the sticker sheets that came with my VF-1J's. I didn't realize they had those Prometheus stickers included! Sweet!!! Thanks for sharing brother. OO

Say bro, a co-worker and I, who happens to collect also, had the same conversation Friday when he came to my office to see my latest grabs. I shave my head and purchased a set of professional clippers to cut my son's hair. I save $32 a week alone in haircuts for both of us. I purchase clothes on an as needed basis and I carry a wallet for years before heading to Wally World for a new for about 10 bucks. With all the shopping for purses, clothing, hair and nails I wish to hell my wife would say something... Yet, I still hide my toys in the closet and bring them out subtly!!! I don't know man. My wife said she actually like the Shin Kudo battroid mode with the Ghost Booster attached and that was the reason she picked it out for me. She said she's slowly gaining an appreciation for them. Then she looks at my display case and says there's a few thousand dollars in that glass aint it? I just get quiet and subtly change the subject. I think she just turns the other cheek because she knows they bring me joy, and that my friend is the kind of mate you want on your team! I'm truly blessed to have an understanding wife. I just have to spoon feed her my appetite; otherwise she would blow up and chop off one of my balls! O

You already know the deal bro. Remember this? O

Don't get me wrong, I like the 1/60's and will be picking them up as well, but they could never take the place of the 1/48's. Being that they are Yamato's first perfect transformation toy done for the TV seris and DYRL movie, I feel a bit of loyalty to the line I guess. I have my remaining 1/48's stashed in the closet; basically hid so the missus doesn't get curious. Yesterday she saw the VF-1D and noticed the silver stand and just said "Those must be new?" I want to display all the 1/48 goodness, but I'm going to have to be subtle in adding the final few pieces. OO

Cool. I noticed Toy-Wave has them at 12 bucks a pop. How many did you order at once and how did you have them shipped with Ken? I've done business with Toy-Wave a few times and have good dealings with them. I just want to know which one has the best price then I can cancel the order with HLJ if needed. Toy-Wave still has that sale going on so I hope their shipping rates are good for these.

What was the regular price? OO

I just ordered 6 of the bases; 2 each of 1-3. About how much is EMS shipping from HLJ. I probably won't get the total until tomorrow some time. Besides that I need to add the 2 of the #10 bases. Thanks!

Yeah, I meant 1S. The custom is a kind of redundant, but the 1S, meh, I might.

Okay, I am officially jealous! I have got to get those sets! I can save space for displaying if I can stack them like that. Is those the same bases you mentioned before MaveRick? I'm going to the site to place an order just as soon as you let me know. Thanks!

Yeah me too. I've heard nothing but great things about VE, but I personally don't like to wait when it comes to new releases. I would have glady paid extra from one of the sellers overseas to have it as soon as its released. Guess I'm impatient like that and the money saved is not worth the agony of waiting...it's like sitting in timeout while watching all your buddies play at recess. OO

Fatherhood has its rewards... OO

Ballchinian haterism... OO OO Man you know I've always admired your collection and tenacity for grabbing stuff up. I'll be completing a transaction for my Max VF-1S soon. My 1/48 will be as complete as I am going to make it. I might pick up the 25th Anniversary Special Edition VF-1J, but I am just not a fan of it... Anywho, sweet looking pics brother. Thanks for sharing! MM OO

No, but I still do the same thing! He's just weird funny looking micky flick! OO

Who is he and what did they sell for if you don't mind me asking.

I pickedup Toboro's 1/48 VF-1D with the 2 seater conversion kit. It's been mentioned that John Moscato made this kit. Who is he and is his kit still available? MM OO

Oh my! That's insane! Awesome work! OO

Got the info MaveRick. Thanks!

The posing skills are still marginal man, but here's the VF-1D in battroid. OO
