Macross Collection Display Thread

[Kicker773]

can't right now.. watching Macross in BD

[Chronocidal]

You know.. I honestly saw that "BD" as a face. I need to cut back on my internet consumption.

So much stuff.. one of these days I hope to have a room to fill with my junk.

The variations of Regults

Kicker, your collection is just insanely massive!

Are those actually multiples of the 1/60 Regult there in the top boxes or is it that they had to fit the parts into three separate boxes?

[Chronocidal]

I think that head is actually the 1/48 resin version that someone has been making.

I can't begin to guess what the 1/35 ones are though..

Some of my Valks

[Benson13]

Looks like you got all the important ones.

[orionpax]

Yup, only got a few because collecting Macross valks is a much more expensive hobby than Transformers hehe (except for premium Masterpiece items)

We ALL feel your pain on that one. Well, except Kicker.

[auberondreaming]

Heres my humble collection. They get to keep me company at the office!

[Kicker773]

Hey hey that's not fair. I'm feeling the pain to. I was just lucky to sell some of my other stuff to afford my collection.

Which is worse for these pure white valks? Sunlight or fluorescent lights?

Well I don't turn on the overheads at work cause I hate them, and our office has 100% UV blocking windows. So neither? In general though not sure. Is the white on the TV versions paint? They seem painted. The vf-11c is a dull white that also seems painted. Anyone know? Edited August 15, 2012 by auberondreaming

Sunlight is worse as the UV is stronger. Flourescent lights are pretty bad as well and can easily yellow the white plastics over time.

They are molded in white. In the cases of the TV Max and Kakizaki, the intakes, shoulders, head, and forearms are molded in the secondary colors, but the blue or tan on the legs are painted. The only part that might be painted white on the VF-11C are those little triangular pieces that you have to fold down while transforming in order to allow clearance for the arms to move out.

my collection display

the macross custom!!!(in stand by)

greetings from mexico!!

[Kicker773]

I'm not sure if there is such a big difference between the 1/35 and 1/48 at one point I even thought they were the same.

quick shot of stuff I found in my closet

Hopefully this will be built soon

More stuff

Ships still need to be built

Variations of the 1/48 unpacked

[Benson13]

You have more boxed than I have in my entire displayed collection.

[Loop]

LOL!

Kicker773: "Oh hey I found some stuff in the closet"

Average member here: "Damn Kicker, that stuff you found is more than what I have in my collection."

The stuff you found in your closet is comparable to change you found in your couch against your collection on display

[Kicker773]

Sorry it just shows I've really accumulated so much....which is sort of sad =(

[Kicker773]

more of the ships unbuilt...

I can't begin to guess what the 1/35 ones are though..

pics of built which that I found online

Exo calls it a Lawn ornament lol I was thinking of getting a chair made and have one on each side molded to the end cap of an armrest lol

I'll probably sell some of the ghosts down the road. I was going to use some of them for a Brera ghost customs

[MichaelS]

No you just give us all something to strive for both volume and how displayed keep giving us good ideas please and more pics!

[Kicker773]

Thanks guys...

Minmay strikes a pose for you! Wink!

[derex3592]

You just let me know when you wanna sell that Garfish Mospeada kit, the Recon Scout and SDF-1 cruiser mode buddy! I call DIBS!!!

[Kicker773]

The garfish I think you can still order

[derex3592]

[Kicker773]

Sorry apparently starship modelers is out of it.

[Benson13]

Sorry it just shows I've really accumulated so much....which is sort of sad =(

Not by any means. Everyone has their own personal version of "Graceland", mine is just called Kicker's Closet.

[derex3592]

LOL! Kicker....bro...get BUSY building! I NEED to see some of those awesome kits built!

[MichaelS]

Yeah just open your house up and charge admission as a museum to support the habit. I'd pay!

[Kicker773]

Thanks man. It's too bad I don't have other buddies who collect stuff. I think all of them grew up but I guess I still left a little bit of me in never land. It was either this or get back into cars. But since I had my nice car stolen I don't feel like going through that drama and paranoia again. I just lock the macross room and arm it. {^.~}

[Kicker773]

I can't build for crap man I have to go to my customizers I neither have the time and patience lol

Hey benson do you ever go paint balling?

[Valkyrie Magnus]

Awesome stuff Kicker. Nothing wrong with accumulating a lot of Macross stuff. I love looking at all the pictures. If you charged admission to see your collection I'm sure many of would pay that(myself included) to see it.

This is the same mentality that I have - I downgraded my car from a Benz to a Prius. The money I save from gas alone allows to me to keep buying toys even though my wife and I just had a baby.

[Mommar]

So here's the real question.... how many VF-4's Kicker? I'll be disappointed at anything less than a 20 grand armada. LOL

[MichaelS]

Lol I wanted to know that to and where will he put it?

I also have this mentality. Hmm...Where can I save money on basic bills so I can buy more toys? It's a variation of my crazy college diet wherein I saved money by eating soup noodles so I could buy tons of gundam kits. Only now, instead of trading down the car like some folks, I refinanced the house and am trying to convince the spouse that it's enough for me to increase my yearly toy budget. Ha! Maybe she'll buy that explanation if I say she can spend more on her aquarium.
