505thAirborne Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Those are some amazing kits you've got their Kicker, from Hibiki's SNN Valk to those Regults and everything in between! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! It was an innocent comment on a picture that was posted. It was an image of the old Yamato office with no caption. And I commented and? Because I was curious to what they wanted to say about the image, and then it went downhill after that. But on a lighter note I have to dust these. It just got real...

no3Ljm Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Really wow @Kicker773. Do you need extra help dusting those? One 1/60 Angel Birds is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizuka the Cat Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 So... I was wondering, what cameras do you guys use to take some of those gorgeous pictures of your toys? I have been using my cell phone camera, which sucks at it, and am kind of wanting to be able to take some nice shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to get too crazy but want pro level quality and adjustability, I'd recommend looking into the micro four thirds mirrorless cameras. I use a Sony Nex-5. There are a lot of great ones on the market. Edited May 25, 2018 by Slave IV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If you want good pictures, make sure you have good lighting. A desk-lamp or two with bright daylight LEDs improve the quality of shots quite a bit, even with a phone camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, the person behind the camera is more important than the equipment and lighting is always key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xigfrid Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Amazing collection @Kicker773, I can’t even imagine how Difficult it should have been to reunite as many impressive items as you did. That inspired me and I went to the detolf to make a scorpion pose to the Vajras chasing Ozma and Brera passive observing as usual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Oooo... A weathered 1/48 VF-1s Hikaru set with the exclusive TRU Japan box.. Hopefully @Kicker773 got his copy for a reasonable price without loosing an arm and a leg.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Weathered was not sold by toys r us. The one pictured is regular version with Strike FP. Unopened. Weahered versions come in these packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 So the TRU Japan box was a combo pack that they have for sale at the stores (regular version), while the Weathered was the Exclusive version [a la Stealth 1/48, Super and GBP (?)] like the Arcadia PE versions.

jenius Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The only 1/48 exclusives were Max and Hayao tv 1a and the weathering editions. Tru had a bundling of two regular release items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) 1. Yes the toys are us combo is a regular set. 2. Weathered was mail order exclusive 3. Stealth was never an exclusive version (when you say stealth you are referring to the black/grey valk?). Neither were the GBP or Strike. 4. The exclusives 1/48 were the mail order ones (Weathered VF1S Roy, Weathered VF1S Hikaru with FP, VF1J Hikaru Weathered Version, TV 1/48 Max and Kakizaki) and the Low Viz V1 ( Grey Version) Edited May 30, 2018 by Kicker773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Although one can argue the Low Viz Grey was never really an exclusive version. The Meteor Buster that came with the Credit Card was the rarest one. Trying to recreate that with the decals i found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The meteor buster was a magazine prize, the credit card was just an all black version... It lost all appeal when the stealth toy was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
