Nice haul Gakk!! Post up the pics once you get them all opened.

From what I understand the EXP points lets you change that avatar image. It also indicates to NY how many orders you have made (1 exp point for completed order) and that supposedly influences how much discount they give you when you request a discount code.

That YF-19 is WIP, and it looks awesome! Can't wait to see it completed. Thanks WM, I'll go check it out. That is an amazing VF-4, the Flashback 2012 color scheme is so nice! All photos are good photos! The boards would kinda plain without photos. This man speaks the truth. I couldn't have said it better.

I got my prep email from NY too.

Thanks WM, I'll go with the white decal film method. Do you have any suggestions on what I should get and where?

I bought a bottle of Ambroid Pro Weld at a local hobby shop, hopefully you can find it locally. Here's a link of the product http://www.amazon.com/Ambroid-110-Pro-Weld/dp/B0035Y26HS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Another alternative is Tenax-7R http://www.amazon.com/Tenax-7R/dp/B00EMXTBG0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411233679&sr=8-1

Very nice, the collection is steadily growing! I stopped collecting TFs and Sold off a majority of my collection I still buy 3P combiners and a few other figures I like but TFs no where near the level Macross purchases. Awesome! Its a nice looking fighter. Which reminds me I have one sitting at my place which I need to take pics of.

Thanks for the info and pictures on the waterslides. If they are at least the same level as the ones in your photo I'll be happy with the how the white looks on the boosters. If not I'll probably paint the circle or if there is another alternative to painting that anyone could suggest. Will do. I don't like to use the stickers because of the raised surface they have when applied, at least with the waterslides are less noticeable. It would be nice if everything was tampo, but then again the prices would raise...

Thanks Old Man. Thanks Falcon18 and thank you for the info on the waterslides. I took a chance and ordered a set, estimated delivery is Monday, Oct. 20 - Wednesday, Nov 5 so it will be a while before I can post up my thoughts on it.

Hahaha... maybe when Valkyrie Magnus brings his VF-171s over to photograph I might change my mine. Good to know. If anything I would transform to each mode to take pics and in fighter mode it would remain. But even in fighter mode, the eventual breakage of the triangles and knee would just sit in the back of my mind and bug me.

I would definitely recommend the Maketoys Devastator. I have one and its my favorite of all my combiners. Nice! What are your thoughts on Wheeljack? Congratulations on the surgery being a success! Thanks, I'll have studio pics of Feral Rex aka Predaking soon. I used to collect TFs but I stopped collecting TFs and sold a vast majority of my TF collection to focus on Macross instead. I still collect 3P Combiners. The articulations for FR in gestalt mode is not bad. The arms don't have much range of motion due to the sheet size of his forearms and shoulders. The legs are pretty good, you can pose him in some dynamic stances. FR is something to see in person, he is massive. I haven't placed him next to the other Decepticon Combiners because he doesn't fit on the shelf where the others are located. I'll post pics of all them together on my flickr and facebook page.

Cool, which one are you considering?

The last 2 figures of this monster arrived today.

HAHA, can't wait to see that pic.

You wouldn't happen to have a Cobra Terror Drome in your collection? I thought that was the coolest of base sets from G.I. Joe.

Sadly, I don't own any VF-171s. I like the design and would like to get every version but I can't bring myself to buy them because of the breakage issues with the CF version. I know the 171EX is not prone to breakage, but having the set and having a broken CF would bug me. So I choose not to get the 171s, but I can ask Valkyrie Magnus to borrow his 171s to take photos.

Thank you MJ. Not sure how I'll be able to get all them into frame. I figure something out and yes the YF-29 will be included.

That is awesome! As a kid my friend had one, I was in awe of it. Time to land some Valks on it.

Thanks KB! I was lucky with the Altos, I got Valks for good prices (retail or below), the Super and Armored parts before the prices went sky rocketing. My goal for the VF-25s was to be able to display every variant (in fighter mode) of each version. As for the YF-29 Alto... I got that covered too.

I am very happy with them. Now there are so many possibilities for photographs now. I am sure you'll figure out something for the bases and once you have that figured out, I am ready for round 2.

Thanks! I try not to think how much my bank account bled for that display. Thanks! I know what you mean about the how you envision the shot in your head and it doesn't quite turn out when you actually take it. Looking forward to seeing the shot.

Its Alto Squadron.

That is HK Chogokin is awesome! A friend of mine bought it for his daughter (I know he bought it for himself). As for solvent, it works best when the 2 surfaces are smooth and flush against one another to give the solvent a nice surface to weld the 2 pieces together. CY, can't wait for the 2nd run of stands I am going to need more.

Nice haul!
