That’s the feeling I get with almost every Transformers figure I buy. Even MP. Yet I still keep buying them. It sucks that the HasLab Unicron made it because yep, I ended up buying one at the last minute just to not miss out.

He's kinda fun to play with, and the effect parts i can use for photoshoots.

I've mostly avoided mainline TFs because everytime I give one a chance, I'm pretty disappointed with how lackluster they are. Getting them on discount definitely helps because then at least they seem more in line with the perceived value of what you paid for. That Skyfire does look pretty good though, especially with your eye and backdrops.

They grow more and more resentful, more and more expensive, and then leave you altogether. Your statues, however, will last forever. Props, dude.

Foblander Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I finally have my own TV Max! Super happy with it. ^^ It does take up a lot of room so I might just stop with the DX line if I can secure a 1S. Lol

Just cannot get around to opening it but really need to. I love the original show by the way. But for some reason, I just hear bird noises whenever I think about it. Hurrah!! I am not the only one who loves the EVA TV series!!
Shizuka the Cat Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) So.... is it bad that I am considering renting a temperature-controlled 10 foot x 15 foot storage unit for about $190/month, so that I can store my Macross toy collection and de-clutter my home? *sigh* Edited October 8, 2019 by Shizuka the Cat
Saburo Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Fun with toys! Jetfire: "Jetfire is here and at the ready!" Hikaru: "Max do you know this guy?" Max: "I don't know..."

But I find as long as things are sealed and boxed up well, the whole temp thing doesn't make a difference to my collection at least. I've had stuff stored all over the country in different temps and see no difference in them. 1 minute ago, Saburo said: Fun with toys! Jetfire: "Jetfire is here and at the ready!"

Keep only your favorites and/or the ones with the most value. $190/month adds up, and you'll be able to just re-buy things later with the money saved if you can avoid spending it.

Saburo Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Nice pickups everyone! Seeing the all the MB EVAs makes me almost regret selling mine off.

I have a bedroom absolutely full of toy boxes.
DewPoint Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I have to pick and choose due to limited storage space. Well, it is more because I don't want to overflow into another room. As far as storage units go, there really is a point where the cost of the storage space will exceed the value of the items in it. You could probably get a larger place if you add that $190 towards rent.
sh9000 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I have 1 bedroom designated as a storage room. There are storage containers stacked to the ceiling with loose and sealed toys well kept inside. Luckily I have 2 other bedrooms. My NECA Batman vs Joker Alien and Green Lantern vs Sinestro Corps Predator came in earlier today but I barely checked the tracking. I’ll pick them up on Thursday. My Marvel Legends Dani Moonstar should be coming in Friday. The Carbonized Mandalorians should be coming in soon.
Sanity is Optional Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Personally I got lucky, the condo I bought has a *large* walk-in closet in the second bedroom for some reason. Turned that room into a workroom and computer room, and the closet is full of shelves for gunpla boxes and macross stuff. Of course, now I need to start building gunpla to free up space for Macross stuff, but nothing's perfect.
MKT Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I just received the KC VF-1S Dark Gold today. Absolutely the biggest thing I like about it are the paint apps. Even on a black base, the golds, tampos and panel lines stood out, and looks much better in flesh than in pics. Edited October 9, 2019 by MKT

vlenhoff Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 This is my sixth pair in ten years. NOW i thought of the lamin-x
borgified Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) For those that have the KC Dark Gold 1s and possibly the Yammie 1/48 25th Anniversary 1s (scale not withstanding), which paint scheme mostly pops out? Don't know if I want to get both to be honest. Edit: I've seen Jenius' review on the KC Dark Gold Edited October 9, 2019 by borgified
