Looks great seeing all of them together! 

Are these Moducase displays?

 

 

Yes sir! Though I'm still waiting on my last cube to finish the display cabinet.  I'd love to share the whole thing but I don't collect just Macross so no idea where I would post it.

Finally took out all my VF-31s and accessories to put in my display.

What's that giant VF-1 you have on the left?

Love to see the rest! I’m sure it’s ok to post the rest here

You finished that bad boy! Nice!

May I ask what the ballpark was for completing the subscription?

Sure did! I would estimate the cost was around $2400-$2700 total. If I had to pay that up front, I probably would have said no way haha. Good thing it was a very slow drip over a 2 year period!.

LOL. You and me pretty much have the same tastes. At least you got your Metal Structure Nu now right .

Here it is. I'm still missing one more block in the corner and I'll be done for awhile. I moved my couch forward a bit so I could have room in the back to take pictures and setup the display a bit. My WFH desk is right next to my moducase display so it's nice to look at while I work

 

Below is my Macross related stuff. I can upload my Transformers, Gundam, and Super Robot stuff in the next post.

I was looking into ordering like a dozen detolfs for my new mancave/office, but they're always freaking sold out.

I never knew about Moducase but now that I've seen @Grey728's awesome setup, I might go with those.

[MKT]

@Grey728 Pure awesomeness!
Thanks for sharing.

The lighting that comes in the case do seem to light up everything very evenly..

[sqidd]

I forgot I didn't put this in here. Newly built/painted Yamato SDF-1 Assembly Kit (in movie pose) with the Arcadia PF.

 

And yeah, yeah, I know this isn't Macross. But this is done (for now) since the Unit 13 showed up. These are the 15" tall RAH EVA's. I've actually got a custom cabinet being built right now for them that is 22" wider so I don't have to scrunch them up so much and I will be able to get Unit 09 out of the box so the whole line is displayed. The background/inside of the cabinet is going to be NERV HQ (pic below). I'm pretty excited about this one.

Looks fantastic @sqidd. Which Evangelions are those? And did you print your own Yetisand adaptors for the SDF-1?

[Grey728]

Transformers. Mainly Fans Toys and Zeta Combiners. One shelf dedicated to Flame Toys

[Grey728]

My View from my WFH desk. 

Misc. Super Robots

Those are the Medicom Real Action Hero's (15" tall). They're kinda junky. But they look nice. The Unit 01 Awakening and 00 are SUPER hard to get. I think they made 300 and 600 of them respectively???

Yeah, I CAD'd up a adapter for the YetiStand and my buddy printed for me.Pretty easy really. The stand that comes with it in one hand, a set of calipers in the other and 15-20min of CAD. I've done maybe 6-7 custom ones now???

[Grey728]

Last set unless you guys want a close of of the Gundams.

That Gaiking Daiku Maryu is an amazing piece.

Your collection is fantastic!

Good god all your collections are insane....I am always in awe when I see these display boxes completely packed with every variety of robot...just amazing.

Thank you all for posting these amazing pictures here. Wow.

[Grey728]

Thanks everyone! Honestly, if I hadn't found MacrossWorld when I did (Arcadia release of the SDF-1) I don't think I would have ever gotten back into collecting. This website has been an amazing resource for links to stores and information on items I never knew existed or could ever find outside of eBay.

That’s quite a collection to amass in such a short time!

I will say out of everything, it’s kinda a crime to see the Moshow Shingen just standing straight up like that. It’s one of the most dynamic figures I’ve ever seen and begs to be shown off in some pose that most other figures could never pull off. But who am I to talk when mine is trapped in a prison of a box? 😆

Amazing collection @Grey728 - thanks for sharing pics!!

Lol yeah, that sucker just wants to be posed. I had a hard time making him just stand up straight because there's so many points of articulation just in it's feet! Anywho, posing takes up SO much space and I need to fit like 2-3 more figures on that shelf still. I also have no imagination so I just use the same standard pose over and over again. I wish there was a thread on people just posing their toys in epic/unique ways that I could copy.

I hear you on the space thing. I can’t even display anything but one shelf currently because the rest is piled in storage. But the thread you ask for does exist.

Update to one of my favorite displays. Strike Pack complete with a few pilot figures from Jada Toys (that also happen to come with a car)

[MKT]

Such a nice display @Grey728! 

I've quite a few times fought the urge to get the Jada Toys cars just for these figures..

Does anyone choose to display their Battroid mode VFs on a stand rather than on their own two feet to avoid wear on the joints?

Does it make a difference?

I think the reason to most people who mounts the Battroids on the display stand is to add support and for precaution. We don’t want them to topple down just in case. Though it does really take too much space with the display stand on.

I suggest if it takes too much space, and you really want it standing on a ground, you can probably use those generic support stand for 1/6th figures.
