Renato Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I have no idea what the logic is for making these things so damn rare. It's not like the manufacturers are making any more money. I heard it was due to licensing. Similar to how usually resin kits are one-day exclusives. Quote
EXO Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 These are garage kit makers. I doubt they can afford a full toy license... besides, some of the sculpts are so bad you wouldn't want to have a ton of those in the market. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I snagged a 1/6 basara figure. Just waiting for to be painted =) Quote
Gakken85 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 How often do you actually play with any one piece? Quote
Shaorin Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) How often do you actually play with any one piece? seems like i'm always fiddling with my YF-19 1/60v.I. as a result, i've had to fully dismantle it to tighten up joints. that in mind, it's in pretty tight shape to this day, considering how many transformations i've run it through so far, and it's manifold of notorious QC issues. my VF-1s see lots of use too, but i seem to always be reaching for that old -19 all the same. for whatever reason, something about the -19 design is just plain "fun" to me, at any given moment 24/7 soon, i plan to retire it, in favor of the VF-19S 1/60 i plan to get from HK collectibles just as soon as i can afford it next...

KiriK Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 my expo at 01/11/2012...missed renewal bandai, yamato 30th and much more wow, nobody commented on this guy's collection? it's pretty frickin impressive!!!! you got a lot packed in there for your displays, but it looks like you have almost everything Kicker has. Jealous in that fact, but i actually do like the spaced out display Kicker has versus to overstuffed shelves. and although i like the frontier figures, i like them in their own separate shelves than mixed in with mecha, but to each their own!! great collection pics as always! i'd love to be able to see some of these collections in person Quote
Scyla Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Well his name is master of macross so I assume that all is said. Quote

Kaldar5 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Il mio amico, il maestro di Macross ...posted his collection over in the "Collectors" forum over a year ago.....but just like the Macross World Main Page.....nobody cares about that section of the forums..... I don't think any comment is needed other than silent shocked awe, and a question of when his personal Macross Museum will open for tours, and what are the hours. ... there is a main page? Quote

I care! Yeah, he really is the Master. I remember asking him if he has everything, and sure enough he replied "yes, I have EVERYTHING". Quote
Benson13 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Really....is that so...hehehehe (In the style of Barney Stinson) CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Quote

Plus it looked empty with just the valks. Wanted to keep it frontier themed. Working on the macross 2 shelf now. The customs display case has one more shelf to accommodate the various MGs I have. No challenges here. To each his own =] winks* and wave* Quote

505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Very nice start to your Man Cave, now you need to add some Mac Plus & DYRL love to it! Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 My halo figs are still in their boxes and too scared to open them Quote
Benson13 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 My halo figs are still in their boxes and too scared to open them Why is that? Do they have issues? Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 No just no room. I'm eager to open them though. Got all the sdcc lmtd ed. The gold one just arrived last week. I'm itching to open something. Probably the Skywalker hot toys tonight =). My batman is being customized and my postman missed me today, I think it was the zero blu ray . Quote
dapro Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 The man-cave is slowly taking shape I like the display cases. How much are those? Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 They're the Ikea cases, right? They were ~$65 last I checked. Quote
Duymon Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Yup. The Detolf cases which are 65 a pop. Really cheap for decent, modern looking curio cases. It was just a pain getting them upstairs by myself. The glass is heavier than you'd expect lol. Quote
xstoys Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 "Everythihng" ... I doubt that! I might want to enter a dog in this race. I care! Yeah, he really is the Master. I remember asking him if he has everything, and sure enough he replied "yes, I have EVERYTHING". Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hehehe....welcome to the party Tony! Quote
xstoys Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hehehe....welcome to the party Tony! Sorry I'm late! Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 You should scan the photo albums you have and post them. Did you move all your stuff to school for display? Quote
xstoys Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Only a small fraction of stuff went to my school. Everything there isn't even 5%. You wanna see it, you gotta make the trip to CA again! Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I know...I will again eventually. Would definitely want to stop by your school. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I've heard rumors of xstoys collection and it has me curious. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Trust me his an OG. If you check the location of the last MW con was held, that was his school and most of the macross stuff displayed there is his. And my word is bond..... Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 They're the Ikea cases, right? They were ~$65 last I checked.They are cheaper in Seattle only$64 here Quote
dapro Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 They are cheaper in Seattle only$64 here It's 64.99 here before tax haha I need to make space available to fit in my room. Quote
