Acteon Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 I like to think all these awesome collections give me something to aspire to. My Macross collection is pretty paltry, but thanks to some new display cabinets, what I have is now proudly on display in my lounge Quote
ZorClone Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Humming and hawing about these 1/60 M&M preorders put me in the mood to have a bit of fun with the handful of 1/60s that I do have. I think I'd feel a lot better about getting M&M in this scale if I could also get super parts for Hikaru. Otherwise, I'd be duplicating exactly what I already have in 1/48 (minus a CF) and that just feels silly lol. Quote

ZorClone Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Awesome room. I can't decide if that looks like a warehouse loft or a boathouse or what. Love the staircase. It all looks like a magazine cover. Quote

Heh, I live in the loft of an old enamel factory by the river in North England. It's really not as grand as it sounds, but I've lived here in my man pad for 15 years - all the retro consoles, Transformers and anime figures are subtly deployed Quote

I picked up the resin kit years ago, a friend made it for me and added the Gubaba as a little extra. It's resin, not vinyl as stated in the listing: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/33049 the story I was told was that it was limited to 300 and available only with preview tickets to the Macross Plus movie, but whether that's true or not I couldn't say. The listing says it was exclusive to the Macross 95 festival, which seems more likely. Edited April 22, 2017 by Acteon Quote

Acteon Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 I do like the rare stuff - it's amazing how much anime collectibles have come on since I started back in '93! As I've been running The UK Anime Network for 20+ years (www.uk-Anime.net if anyone is curious) I've picked up a lot of oddities in my time, but only really started getting big on Macross in the last few years. I think I picked up that Mylene around 2000. Oh, and the cabinets are from Ikea if anyone is interested - the ability to vary the shelf height is very useful! http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/cabinets-sideboards/fabrikör-glass-door-cabinet-blue-art-00363171/ Quote

Sayonara concert!.... but, yeah....moving soon....but I am also considering going all-out HMR with it...but need more 1/100 accessories....tough to find....1/72 worked well for the 1/60....but they are too big for 1/100 and the 1/144 stuff is way too small.....the 1/100 Macross factory kit is about the only game in town, but I have no patience, skill or time to build them...I'd pay some good money for a completed set(s).....wish the Chinese could do some KOs! Anyways, if I go HMR, I could re-purpose more of the Chain Bases since the mechs are half the size or less.....I have this in mind with all the destroids coming out.... Quote

Slave IV Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Fantastic! I just purchased a 1/60 Queadluun Rau today. Getting closer and closer to getting all the key pieces I've always wanted. How is the Robot Spirits version? I'm thinking it could be a decent stand in for my HMR display. Quote
barurutor Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 The robot spirits Q-rare might look undersized compared to Hi-metal R, they're more in scale with the revoltech battroids as seen from jenius' site: here's the 1/60 Q-rau compared to the 1/60 Yamato v2 in battroid (again from jenius' site): Quote
