spanner Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 The P34 would be awesome to photograph! hehe My dad would love to see it (he's a die cast car collector). I only have one car in my collection. Ebbro 2010 Super GT 300 - IS350 But still that is a pretty sweet Lexus! Im gonna give it my best shot at some good photos of the P34 when it arrives!

no3Ljm Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Great hauls everyone! For now, I have nothing to share. Hehehe.
Kanedas Bike Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Great hauls everyone! For now, I have nothing to share. Hehehe. Ditto, nice additions to everyone's respective collections. I do have stuff to share, but I'm feeling way too lazy to organize the items for a picture. -b.

Raya1823 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks, its an impressive figure when combined. The light up head is a nice addition to this massive figure. One more pic To quote Russell Peters "Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad...":D or a TF take on Attack on Titan. : Saburo, What Optimus Prime is this one?? Is it a 3p??
Saburo Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Saburo, What Optimus Prime is this one?? Is it a 3p?? Not a 3P, its the Takara UN-01 Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode (War for Cybertron). Here he is with FoC Ultra Magnus and some trinket medallion I have.
Kanedas Bike Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 OT - because I wanted to check out that Prime too, the current market prices for that thing are insane considering how much it originally retailed for. And yeah, yeah, nice pictures. -b.

Glad I got mine when they are still cheap. One last question, where is that amazing sword from?? Did it come with the Takara version? Thank you and I'll also say it, DAMN your pictures are GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you and I'll also say it, DAMN your pictures are GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing with us. The sword on Prime is from a Hasbro Generations (Fall of Cybertron) Ultra Magnus, the sword and gun from UM combine to form the larger sword. You can see UM holding the 2 weapons in the picture. Thank you, glad you enjoy the photos, because I love time taking them.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 the shot angle of the vf-1 looks hot!
mickyg Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 These two have arrived in the last 30 days. They will both undergo some modifications and hopefully a more appropriate photo session in the future. Yes, that's a Semi Super Messiah. Not pictured are the accompanying Tornado parts for Michael's blue beauty.
Gakken85 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) My other passion, Horror movies! haha. Don't know if you guys remember my myers outfit from last year but I'm upping my game this year. Should have this bad boy in a few days: Made to look like the hero mask in H2 (which is technically the original hero mask from H1 in 78): Edited October 7, 2014 by Gakken85
CoreyD Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Wasn't the original prop actually a Captain Kirk mask?
Kanedas Bike Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Wasn't the original prop actually a Captain Kirk mask? Yes. And true story, my Mother took me to see the original Halloween at the movies when I was a kid and when we got home I made her check all the closets and under beds with me. The original Halloween still scares the crap out of me. -b.
Gakken85 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) It was a 75 Don Post Captain Kirk Mask. They used a mold technique on their faces in an episode of trek and then used those to make the kids masks. They painted it white, cut the eyes out, and ripped of the side burns. The mask used in H2 was the same mask from H1 (or one of them) but the production lady stuck it under her bed for 4 years and was a smoker. So it stretched and got gunky - that's why it looks kinda dirty in H2. I'm a big fan of both haha. The original Halloween is, In my opinion, the best horror film ever made. Definitely the best Slasher and best 80's horror film. There are forums for mask enthuisits and people spend 200-600 bucks on replicas, recasts, and limited run remakes. Also people pay 1,000's for the original kirk masks when they find them. Edited October 7, 2014 by Gakken85

Should have this bad boy in a few days: Made to look like the hero mask in H2 (which is technically the original hero mask from H1 in 78): That is cool! You must have a great time during Halloween. My friend is a Horror movie fanatic too. He is dressing up as Freddy Krueger and his son are dressing up as Jason Voorhees. I have seen the pics of parts of his costume. I know the Freddy sweater he got that was custom made for him to match the sweater in the movie perfectly, he's hardcore into it. His son's costume is on the same level as his stuff.
no3Ljm Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Latest obsession possessions. More pics to come. Loving your Red and Black stripe motif. Most of my valks are those as well. Well, except for that extra 2 YF-30. Hehehe.
A_Man_and_a_Woman?! Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 My wife jumped into the world of Macross toy collecting with both feet at Macross World Con 2014. I'm so proud of her!!! We are now eyeing Ikea display cases.

I walk around my neighborhood and scare people with a friend. Usually kids will sort of approach me and run off. Usually adults will just walk the other way haha.
wmkjr Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 My wife jumped into the world of Macross toy collecting with both feet at Macross World Con 2014. I'm so proud of her!!! Definitely a keeper in my book. My wife just looks at my stuff and asks "You really like those jets, no? cuz you have a whole bunch of them."

My wife just looks at my stuff and asks "You really like those jets, no? cuz you have a whole bunch of them." Yeah she didn't really get it until she watched the anime and then saw the toys. My friends and I are bad influences... But my friends are knowledgeable so she goes to them first for opinions when she's thinking of getting something. She's a big fan of the singing idols- here gateway drugs were the Nendoroids. I'm more of an art and art book guy.

I'm more of an art and art book guy. yeah. i looked at her and was like. how you gonna buy those two nendoroids without a valk. and then walked her over to the vf-25F. and laughed. now she knows the anguish involved in buying valks. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Dude- the minute she asked me, I knew she was going to pull the trigger. She just needed the gentle push. The next purchase will actually be mine- Luca setup with the Ghost fighters. But dang- we ain't got no room right now!
Saburo Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Great purchases everyone! Dude- the minute she asked me, I knew she was going to pull the trigger. She just needed the gentle push. The next purchase will actually be mine- Luca setup with the Ghost fighters. But dang- we ain't got no room right now! Now that your wife has gotten the Macross bug, it will be easier to get more display cases or attempt to make more space. Edited October 8, 2014 by Saburo
A_Man_and_a_Woman?! Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Great purchases everyone! Now that your wife has gotten the Macross bug, it will be easier to get more display cases or attempt to make more space. Most definitely! Most of our major purchases are being put off in lieu of moving to a larger house. Once that happens, it is so on!
happy_spike Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah watched the series with my wife and she's a fan now. Got her own valks and everything. Though the downside is that I just got some Ichiban Kuji frontier figures (pics soon) and as soon as I opened them she shot-gunned the Grace Vf-27... should have got a pre-nup... Most definitely! Most of our major purchases are being put off in lieu of moving to a larger house. Once that happens, it is so on! Yep! we did the same. After the honeymoon in Japan, we came back with far too many macross toys. They have been boxed and waiting till me move into our new house which is almost built. Then when we have money to buy some cabinets so we can put it all up! So basically I'll have display pics in maybe 10 years... Edited October 9, 2014 by happy_spike

Always nice when your partner has the same passions- just not when their collection is better than yours! That's when "yours" and "mine" become "ours."
no3Ljm Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Got another 15% Off from Rakuten Shop via FromJapan so I ordered another one. $25 before service and shipping fee. Now I can display both modes. Edited October 9, 2014 by no3ljm
Gakken85 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 Hows that new fire valk stack up to the old one? Cool stuf no3ljm
