Whoa I just noticed the custom blue VF-0S.  Awesome!

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 :)

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.

That's a lovely home you got there. Once I hit the lotto I'll have one too, guess I better start playing. :lol:

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 ;)

Your place looks amazing! Where'd the giant Mylene come from?

something isn't quite right about her head.. her eyes look like they are being pulled further away from each other by the intense gravitational fields between a pair of companion stars!

If having a lounge isn't classy enough, that display and collection surely makes it classier. :p

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.

I think all that goes out the window when you have a middle aged 14 year old an adult 3 year old... and they're fictional anyway. ;)

Also, let's not forget that Miria had her first kid at like 17... :unsure:

Pretty cool nonetheless having such a rare item!

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!

Thanks....I have enjoyed rotating my collection of valks within it....as a fighter-mode fan, the hangar idea worked best for me...

Thats some hell of a concert JVMacross, why are you unpacking, are you moving ?

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! :help: 

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....

What a beauty! Looks like it would coming right out of the Yamato factory.

I wish I had the skills and cajones to paint mine up.

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.

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:

VF-25F-Bandai-RS-7B.jpg

 

here's the 1/60 Q-rau compared to the 1/60 Yamato v2 in battroid (again from jenius' site):
