SOLD to bbrain. Thanks for the interest.
This is my YF-19 I've had since new.
I did some pencil panel weathering, and modded the wings. One of them doesn't look so great, but I think it's hardly noticeable. Otherwise, looks and transforms fine, nothing broken.
Missing the black neck cover plate.
I'm including the Fast Packs from the Fold Booster set as well.
The box is in pretty terrible shape.
SOLD $75 plus $20 shipped US, or $35 outside US. -
I'm in WA State, US. It was 38F last night. No heat on in that room.
-
Every light is going to be different. Lots of LEDS put out noticeable heat, but it's deffinitely less than an old filament lightbulb.
I just took some temp gun readings on my stuff. It's 66F degrees in the display room. The 1 watt led spotlights were 92F at their hottest spot (on the lights metal body). My PG Gundam shield 3 inches away was 68 degrees. The valks at the top were 66.

You could do the mod where you remove the separating walls inside to create a shelf that spans across all the detolfs.
It hadn't occurred to me that they can stand with only the backglass and the door, but now that I think about it, of course they will. I'll have to take them down and remove more glass. Maybe I'll get some help this time instead of doing it myself.

Mine don't seem to be that bad, but I've heard others say they hate the dust on theirs. It's something to consider.
Even things like having a central air vent near your display can add to the problem. I used to have mine near the entryway to the house. They got a little dusty there. Now they're in a room with the least amount of use in the house.
I've never had displays side by side before, so I hope I don't have to dust in between them much. That... could be... a pain. -
^ Well, to keep dust down, the more sealed the better. People pick the IKEA Detolf in part I believe because they are cheap. I haven't checked lately, but they used to be like $70. The problem is, you have to have an Ikea nearby otherwise they charge something ridiculous like $200 to ship.

Good eye. So, the outer cabinets are Detolfs, and the inner cabinets are Detolf knockoffs I found on Amazon. Here's the ones I have, but I paid less than they are at now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IN9BRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are not exactly the same as detolfs. The inner bar frames are much thicker, and they use a different system to mount the shelf glass. I got them because IKEA is over 300 miles away from me now.
The center is open on the center 2 cabinets. This is the standard mod where you don't install glass on the sides of two of the cabinets, then put them next to each other. Yes, all 4 of them have closing doors.

I only have one in a corner so I'll have to find something else. Thanks and great collection you have!
Yeah, I can't find a nice/cheap 14x14" or 15x15" cube anywhere. I'd even take 16 or 17".

All the ones on the bottom are PGs except the Zeong on the far left.
The PG Zeta, hmm, I love it, but it's not very dynamic. It's not like a toy transformation at all. It's more like carefully moving a part at a time so you don't break anything. I actually picked up another Zeta just to keep in Waverider (and have extra parts), so there's your answer, don't get it for the transformation.
All my PGs need some tune-ups. The joints are all lose. Fingers pop off all the time. Most of them can't hold their guns up high. Maybe I'll try taking them apart one by one and fixing them.

Thanks Pat S!! One of the best looking Valks period and in 1/48 scale no less!
Yes!

Haha, yeah, just to prove the VF-1D is ok, and because it's probably my favorite. More pics.
This is the bookcase the Detolfs are standing on. It is sturdy enough. I jumped up and down on it.

Hey thread... I recently received some Yetistands. They look great, and add some fun to collecting. I can't stop rearranging them.

I tried to research, but I don't trust my results, so...
What would a 9/10 Yamato 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru be worth these days?
How about a 9/10 Yamato 1/48 Super and Strike parts set?
Thanks!

I just watched the Daicon 3 and 4 shorts. I teared up a little around 4:22 (Itano circus).

Looking amazing!
About the fast pack??? Is it just the booster or also other parts?
This thing has a big bad bomber look to it.It's so cool that you can model it and then check to see if things will interfere or not, then adjust!
It's hard to say if the nose is spot on or not. I think it's very close. -

Thank you, I briefly checked the rules and must have missed this. My apologies. Thanks for kindly pointing this out.

Come on up. In the winter, the snow/ice on the streets only lasts 2 or 3 weeks sometimes!
I setup my last Yetistand today. Sorry for all the pics, I'm done now.
