Edi Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Love the setups Old Man and Suburo! That's pretty much how I want mine to look when I finally buy my own home. Quote
spanner Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 image.jpg The Detolf do look quite elegant in white! Very nice display Old Man! Quote
The Old Man Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks guys. It probably won't surprise you to know that that pic is already out of date! Is it a recognised form of OCD, rearranging valks? Quote
Saburo Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. It probably won't surprise you to know that that pic is already out of date! Is it a recognised form of OCD, rearranging valks? I would have to say its a rare form of OCD, it only affects MW members. LOL I just noticed something in your picture, you have the Lego UCS SSD Executor on top of the Detolfs! I really wanted that Lego set, but didn't have anyone where to place it. But now I do!

The Old Man Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I have to admit that that one isn't mine, it's on long term loan until my mate sorts his place out. It's really cool but massive. I could get three UCS sets up there in its place, and I need somewhere to put my new Tumbler. ...and Slave 1 is released on Thursday!

David Hingtgen Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Display cases are completed, I just placed some Valks to take the photo. I'll be doing some arranging later, for now its nice to just sit and look at the display. http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh577/projektzerothree/B18BC328-60E3-43D7-AB3D-570C5A564F98_zpsgpgb9giv.jpg A flightsuited Grace would work so well there with the others. If only such a thing existed... Quote
Saburo Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 A flightsuited Grace would work so well there with the others. If only such a thing existed... I agree, but the figure that I have that is close to the appearance of Grace would be Niimi Kaoru. Quote
CHAVAKAISER Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Es lo que tengo hasta el momento de escala 1/48 Yamato excelente nomas q aqui es en ingles carnal hay un apartado en español en el foro Quote
Saburo Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Sweet updates, Saburo! Thanks McFly! I added an additional set of lights to the top of display cases. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Do you have doubles for all of the variant parts? I see 4 VF-25f's, but only singles for the 29's. Is this all of your valks? Edited January 2, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
Saburo Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Do you have doubles for all of the variant parts? I see 4 VF-25f's, but only singles for the 29's. Is this all of your valks? For the 29's I have doubles for the Isamu and Ozma and I still have some Valks in boxes. Impressive display Saburo! Thank you. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Looks amazing mate, well done. i like the Figuarts Kikaider stuff down the bottom too Quote
The Old Man Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks McFly! I added an additional set of lights to the top of display cases. Awesome Saburo, but the OCD will kick in soon and things will move. And there will be lots of staring. Quote
Saburo Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Looks amazing mate, well done. i like the Figuarts Kikaider stuff down the bottom too Thanks! It was fun building them and setting them up. I grew up watching Kikaider, so I needed to get the figures when I saw the PO. Awesome Saburo, but the OCD will kick in soon and things will move. And there will be lots of staring. Too late, the OCD kicked in from the start. I am happy with the setup of the 2nd row, but rows 1,3 and 4 will be changing... maybe. Very bright! Looks great. Thanks Gak! The camera is making the lights look brighter, IRL its not as bright. Quote
brouken Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 My updated collection. Was taking the photos with my phone while waiting on the VF-19 Advance pre-order madness. Quote
Moosey Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 That's a nice collection alright!The 171 looks good in Gerwalk - making me regret not getting one now! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 That's a nice collection alright! The 171 looks good in Gerwalk - making me regret not getting one now! I finally broke down and ordered an alto 171 and armor parts. Keep an eye out on mandarake and jungle. Quote
Moosey Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I finally broke down and ordered an alto 171 and armor parts. Keep an eye out on mandarake and jungle. I will do. I was supposed to be visiting Tokyo briefly this week and was going to try and find a 25A or a 1A Canon Fodder. It didn't happen though cos my wife is sick unfortunately. Quote
brouken Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Nice collection Brouken! Thanks Abbadon! I wish I had a better display case to put them on. That's a nice collection alright! The 171 looks good in Gerwalk - making me regret not getting one now! Thanks Moosey! The 171 EX was kind of an impulse buy for me. I got it from Mandarake together with the armor parts. I think there are still a lot of them for sale there. Looks good mate. Thanks Gakken! A compliment from a long time MWer is precious indeed! I finally broke down and ordered an alto 171 and armor parts. Keep an eye out on mandarake and jungle. Congrats ChaoticYeti! I think the Alto 171 with the armor parts is a good buy! While I ordered mine on impulse, I had been considering the 171 for quite a while. I've checked the reviews and it seems that the Alto 171EX is the more stable release. I had wanted to get the cannon-fodder Nightmare Plus, but it had too many breakage issues. I'm still on the fence on getting the Luca version. Maybe I'll consider completing a squadron when the Maruyama Custom comes out. Quote
brouken Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Display is looking good Brouken!! Thanks Saburo! I've got a few more valks coming in this month. And then the VB-6 Koenig, Armored VF-1J and (hopefully) the VF-19 Advance in May. My problem now is where to put all of them. They sell Detolf shelves in Ikea Indonesia, but its in a city outside of Jakarta about two hours drive away from where I live. Its about USD 80 bucks a piece here. How much were you able to get yours for? Quote

If you do decide to get the Detolf make sure the 2 hour trip is worth it and get 2 of them. Quote
brouken Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hmm, so its cheaper in the States. I was expecting that the prices here would be higher. Yeah, I should get more than one Detolf to make the trip worthwhile. But after reviewing my toy and hobby budget for this year, I think I won't be able to get a decent display for a while. Hehe. At least with the shelf that I have now, I have easy access to play with my valks. Quote
spanner Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 nice collection you have there Brouken! that v.1 Ozma 25 don't look so much different especially in fighter mode eh! Quote
brouken Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 nice collection you have there Brouken! that v.1 Ozma 25 don't look so much different especially in fighter mode eh! Thanks Spanner! I was one of the MWers who got the v1 Armored VF-25s package upon release. I had gotten it from HLJ back then. It actually also experienced the same spontaneous breakage as VF5SS over at CollectionDX (http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2011/vf25s_messiah_valkyrie_ozma_custom_renewal_version) and I had to meticulously repair the damage using Tamiya super glue. Its fine now and I can transform it with no problems. But I'm afraid that its only a matter of time before the other joints break. Still, you're right in that it looks best in fighter mode, which is why I still keep it in my display. If only HLJ did not botch up my first VF-25s renewal preorder, I would have already replaced it last year. Quote
abbadon Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 It's been a year since I started collecting Macross toys! Never knew my collection would grow beyond my first purchase which was the Arcadia VF-1S Fokker. Decided to take a pic of the Class of 2014! Quote
brouken Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 RCM_5401.JPG Wow, that's a pretty awesome collection Abaddon! I love your VF-1 series, especially the Vermillion squadron! Some of those valks are pretty hard to get now. Quote
xrentonx Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I have most of those but I regret never picking up TV Max, the D, and Super Ostrich. Quote
Loop Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Renton, the Yamato Max and Milia releases taught me my lesson. I kept putting them on the back burner because they seemed to be in stock vs the other rarer releases. By the time I was ready to buy them all stores were out of stock I did end up getting both new from a user here who wanted to sell them right after thye went out of stock everywhere, and the price was awesome too somewhere around 120 each, I lucked out on that catch. Ever since I make sure to get a pre-order in. I also learned back then that the boxes that have that "special" logo on them are not made in the numbers that the normal mass run releases get and when they were gone they were most likely not getting a new run.
