But... awesome haul by the way. Thanks guys! Had fun doing it. Now, I'm searching which Itasha clip to use next so I can use my pretty wallet pic once again. BTW, do I have permission to post this elsewhere when appropriate? I have a feeling it will come in handy.

seti88 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 technically not the ivanov, but at the end where nora blasts shin from top would be a nice wallet killer?

Hahaha! I'm actually thinking of the part when the Koening fires the nuclear warheads at Sara (as the Birdman) and Shin flees the area for safety as the warheads explode (Episode 5: Time frame of roughly 28:00 to 28:50). Just do the necessary changes as you see fit. Edit: Forgot to give you the link for reference.. Edited March 27, 2018 by borgified
sh9000 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Opened my spare Marvel Legends 90’s Deadpool. Another cool figure.
Sanity is Optional Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 My second set of HMR Missile Regults finally showed. Cheaper than buying the non-missile ones.

Shizuka the Cat Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 In your animation with bullets raining down from the VF-0's rifle, you should make it rain dollar signs or yen... or maybe a combination of dollar signs, yen, and euros?
TrickyCustomer Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Seeing as we are talking boxes, Who here does away with their boxes? I'd be curious to know if some of you just have the valks and extras and do away with the packaging. I can definitely see the benefit of it. As a collector though I guess I just have to have the boxes for sake of having it complete. Having said that I did do away with my boxes for the neca 1/4 preds guarding my detolf. Now they were big boxes!

Another reason why my life is surrounded by piles and piles of boxes within boxes.
CrossAir Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I kept and will keep my boxes if it concerns collectable "toys". Boxes from kits I tend to throw away when I got out of space. I only keep those as well if I like the art work of the box.

But I always think that I also need the big ones just in case we move esp the Valk boxes.

Now they were big boxes! For every figure I own and have opened, I have at least an extra that is MISB/MIB unopened. There was a section of my storage room that was all empty boxes. I decided to throw out a lot of them but I still haven’t gotten to all of them.

Interesting guys thanks, there are definitely pros and cons when it comes to the boxes. I tend to also keep mine in the shipper boxes they arrived in too, which are generally bigger still. But it's peace of mind knowing they are protected vs space consumption. The bandai valk boxes are indeed a convenient size compared to the yamato and even Arcadia boxes. Ironically it's the yamato and Arcadia valks that are the rarest in my collection so big boxes plus bigger box is unfortunately the way it has to be. I do also buy double or more of some types purely so I can keep one misb and the other as a mess around.

Now they were big boxes! I keep all my boxes, though I should really toss some, like the Robot Spirits figures, Tamashii stages, and my one Sheryl figure. The boxes from my model kits I flatten and stack.
Chronocidal Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I only keep the box tops of models I like the artwork of, and generally will fold them flat and let my bed's mattress do the work of compressing them down.
borgified Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Talking about boxes on either to keep or discard.. There's actually multiple threads on the TFW2005 boards that has been talked about in regards to this subject (and I believe that you have read this as well @Slave IV)? http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/boxes-packaging-to-keep-or-not-to-keep.958001/ Check out Nevermore's post as well since your there. Here's a link to Maz's write up: https://tfsource.com/blog/2017/08/22/sacrilege/ As also an TF collector (official, 3rd party and a few KO's as well), you're not the only ones that have this dilemma.

Shizuka the Cat Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 ARGH! Why am I so weak? Why?! Stupid ebay 15% of everything coupon... I swore I would avoid HMR valkyries. *sigh* I have fallen down the rabbit hole. *bangs head on table repeatedly* baka baka baka baka So... I guess I have a VE-1 Elintseeker, a VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max), and a VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Miria) coming... eventually.

Well, at least I might lose a little bit of weight going down to 1 mean a day to save money to fund my valkyrie purchases.
