Instead of buying straight display cabinet from local vendor, I like to do DIY. So, bought most of the material from online. Here's the preview of my display cabinet, DIY myself (just like the feeling building your own scale models). It's cheaper, yet enjoy while building it. There's still quite number of improvement, such as lighting and laying cables while building it. The gap of the glass is narrow to its minimum. Still, I need to find time to pose/display my Valks. Finally, Stay safe# and enjoy, guys! Note: Wash your hand before and after touching it. Looks great!! Quote

sqidd Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Made up some stainless steel adapters to mount the Sentinel Ride Armor's on a YetiStand. Here are some crappy pics. @ChaoticYeti Quote
Rogueload Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 @sqidd looking good! I gotta get some of those ride armors! Quote
derex3592 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 @sqidd LOVING that 3 on 1 Yeti stand setup! Quote
ErikElvis Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Moving most of what I have in boxes to the basement. Don’t really want to as the climate is not as good but gotta clear out a bedroom. Will try to get some pics up later. Quote
ErikElvis Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 First 2 are mainly macross and Star Wars. Last pics what’s left in the room after tearing through all of it trying to organize things in groups. Prob only half way done. A lot of transformers, gundam, miscellaneous toys left to figure out what to do with. Quote
ErikElvis Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 What’s bad humidity to store toys in the basement. My little reader 60%. I might get a dehumidifier for down there. Quote

Yeah, I'd run a dehumidifier down there, especially during the more humid months, You might also want to consider either covering them in plastic, like a tarp or something, or getting some moisture resistant storage containers.

Shawn Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 ErikElvis...2x Premium SDF-1s??? My god. Your collection of toys is hardcore, very impressed and super jealous! S Quote

Here's my bedroom that I subject my wife to. Trying hard not to have it creep into the living room but I think it's inevitable haha. I mean holy crap! I have a small sampling of every shelf here. This basically contains a who's who of modern toy collecting. I could only wish I had this much. That said, I'm eminently satisfied with my small sampling, given what it is. But wow, this is just a great collection. An obvious devotion to the craft. Well done. Quote
dafunguy Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Ever since I got married and moved into a different home about 10 years ago, I lost touch with Macross World and haven't posted in awhile. I was active during the 1/48 Yamato days, so that's pretty much what I have ... and it seems a lot have changed since then (Yamato is gone, Arcadia's focus on 1/60 scale, and I recently discovered Bandai's DX VF-1s just last week). Well ... Shelter in Place has finally given me time to retrieve my old display case from storage and unpack my old Macross Collection. My most recent purchases have been the 1/3000 SDF-1 and I just received the Bandai VF-1A Max yesterday. That Bandai DX is really awesome ... so I think I'm coming back at a good time! I'm now just waiting for Roy's VF-1S to be release from Bandai (so I can get rid of the roy "place holder" that's currently in the display case). Enjoy the pics. Quote

505thAirborne Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 @dafunguy All three Yamato Flight Helmets, now that sir is one sweet collection! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 The Arcadia PF SDF-1 is quite the piece to restart a collection with. Quote

Looks good even without the paintjob! And like everyone else, I'm drooling over the helmets. I'd take Max's. Quote
Slave IV Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 OK, that's a tad over what I'm willing to pay but very sweet! At that price, I would expect a real working spec replica. Quote

I threw my hat into some ebay bids and wound up with 5 helmets! going to be a bit more work than I had thought, but Eventually I will end up with a TV and DYRL Roy, and 3 customs. Quote
Lolicon Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 For that price it better be a real working space helmet. Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Awesome helmets @Kicker773 @sqidd I have one of these myself and for the price tag they're quite nice ( mine is set up as Shin Kudo's from Macross Zero), the Yamato's are better but they are quite pricey if you can even find one. This seller has Max's & Hikaru's Masei made helmets for sale if you're interested. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Masei-911-Xcross-Jet-US-F14-Tomcat-Motorcycle-Bike-Harley-Helmet-Size-S-M-29/233587024467?hash=item3662df2253:g:ti4AAOSw5XxeXW-2 Quote

Aren't normal motorcycle helmets upwards of $300+? Is he really offering a full helmet here? is it for a child or something? Quote

Well it might be a motorcycle helmet under that custom body frame but these don't seem to be a holding a very high re-sale value like the YAMATO versions. I took mine apart years ago to customize it and while it's a motorcycle helmet, it's feel like a very simple & basic helmet as best, DOT approved or not. Over the past few years I've seen some of these Masei Helmets whether it be size S/M or L/XL go for as low as $55.00 plus shipping on Ebay. The seller has a 100% rating so at least he seems to be honest. This is how mine arrived years ago at my request: t r And then what it turned into: Quote
Slave IV Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 $55...I can deal with that. But I don’t feel like painting it so I’ll just continue to enjoy looking at pictures. Quote

Actually all of the Macross helmets that are still available are all Pre-painted & ready to wear. I specifically ordered my helmet as unpainted so I could customize it. If you want a Roy, Max or Hikaru just keep an eye on Ebay or Amazon and they still pop up for sale. Quote
