m0n5t3r Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Awesome display @Test_Pilot_2. Drooling... regretting selling my VB-6 coz of cracked joints. feels great to finally have a YF-29 again after all these years. Still trying to decide which mode to display it in, but I'm leaning towards GERWALK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Finally got my VF-0As. Very nice figure, but definitely a challenge to transform and pose without pieces popping off left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic revolt Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 The best version of the Orgroid. At least the availability of this rendition are attainable when compared to their Takatoku counterpart. The box packaging is a chip off the old block but of course in this “Joey B economy” they had to replace the styrofoam and settle with a plastic tray. Really great version and I have the hi metal versions of it but these have a heft to them that makes them a cut above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually one of the Playmates "reissues" they did of that mold in the 90s. However the fast pack it has is from my original Matchbox from the 80s (sadly the rest of it is long gone). I've also got a Matchbox Zentradi warrior down in the corner of the little Zentradi section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Finally got a new display case for my Macross collection. The old old one had a door shatter into a million pieces and I had moved my stuff into detolfs for temporary housing, but remained like that for years after. This new one has adjustable shelves and a metal frame so I don't have to worry about the whole thing collapsing should a side panel break somehow. Only 1/60 scale stuff inside the case. I plan on finding some display boxes to put some of the stuff on top of the case in. Got a replacement door from a local custom glass shop and repurposed the old display case for my 40k stuff.

Awesome!! As much as the Detolf's were by far the most value vs display volume, the display possibilities expand so much more with wide shelves.

I found there was a lot of wasted space and limitations due to having the horizontal space divided up between detolfs. 2 hours ago, Test_Pilot_2 said: Spectacular display @MacrossJunkie nice and clean, love the Warhammer stuff, too!

But…I find your lack of Gerwalk disturbing. 😉 There's a reason for that; volume of space taken up. Battroid takes up space vertically. Fighter takes up space horizontally. Either leaves space to have additional things placed in front of or above/below. GERWALK takes up space both vertically and horizontally, leaving less usable space in either direction. It's the least likely to allow for placement of additional stuff in front of or above/below it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great googly moogly, those are retail cases. 😄 While I wish I had room for those, and can understand the limitations of DETOLFs in comparison, DETOLFs are more manageable when it comes to assembly and moving them; at least alone. I also come at this as a lowly apartment dweller trying to maximize corners, etc. DETOLFs may have been made more with this in mind when so much other furniture they offer is also for aprtment living versus a house. Altogether, DETOLFs, or at least those inspired by them (KOs!), work best for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altogether, DETOLFs, or at least those inspired by them (KOs!), work best for me so far. Indeed, that sort of case is normally used for retail displays. It's monstrous at 70" wide and 72" high with a depth of 20" or so. It came delivered on a large wooden pallet and was unbelievably heavy to lug it into the house piece by piece and up two flights of stairs. Took me nearly a day to put it together. Since I now have some spare detolfs, I offered them to my mom, so I'll be disassembling them at some point and taking them to her house and will re-assemble them there. She wanted more than the 4 she has now, but apparently Ikea has stopped making them, so this was good for her as well. Plenty of similar alternatives on Amazon, but they're not as cheap as the ~$80 that I paid for mine at Ikea 17 years ago or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a week goes by on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, OfferUp, etc. that someone isn't selling a DETOLF. You can get one at MSRP or less given time. Just remember to start a chat with even the high-priced sellers. Same goes for EXPEDIT and KALLAX shelves (For you record collectors out there).

MacrossJunkie Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 6 hours ago, Zeliard said: nice. what is the recommended weight allowed per row? Each row consists of two separate panes of tempered glass with the dimensions of 34" x 12" and a thickness of 1/4", supported by metal brackets 32" apart. That roughly calculates to over 60 lbs per pane which is certainly way more than needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
