  1. Unfortunately I think I'm going to skip it too. -1/60 scale is no good for me. I need 1/48 or 1/100. Preferably 1/100. -I HATE stickers. I would be far more inclined to get a couple if it was tampo or a PF was released. It's too bad. This is by far my favorite Destroid. I'd be happy to buy a fleet of HMR's or a couple 1/48's.
  2. Any time. You can look up the load bearing ability of glass online. I found a calculator once where you put a couple of bits of info in and it will spit out a number. Yours would be WIDE though that's for sure. And I'm guessing at least $300 in glass. Wood shelves with lights under each one sure would be a LOT easier and less expensive. I'm 0 for 2!
  3. I may not be right on that nook thing. Could be a "cubby" too I guess. That's a big "nook/cubby"! You're going to need a lot of light unless you only want to light up the first couple of shelves (from the top). Check out this pic. The top shelf is lit from the top with two 1500 lumen bulbs and from the side with two 240 lumen bulbs. Each shelf below has two 240 lumen bulbs per shelf on the sides. -This cab has a 38" internal width. You're almost double that. -The top lights barely do anything for the second shelf on down. The more stuff you have on the shelves the worse the down facing light performance. -The side lights are noticeably dimmer in the middle of the shelf. You have twice the distance to light. My cabs are lit at 3 lumen/ sq in. If you want to do the same or nearly the same you're going to need about 15,000 lumens. There is no way you're going to do that from just the top. And if you did they would be as bright as the sun up high and not great in as you work you way down. And probably pretty crappy at the bottom. I'm thinking about using LED tape to light mine. At least around the perimeter. Maybe on each shelf. Here is a link to some of that tape. It comes in all sorts of flavors. Have fun! https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/single-color-flexible-led-strip-lights/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN-SBhCkARIsACsrBz5niPITG4eIot4k_KuP12u1WzbpHc5FAawlssFxwROHQ0_no5XsUfIaAnx5EALw_wcB
  4. Loved Reacher. All you have to do is take a bunch of roids, work out hard and eat about 10,000cal/day and you can be the eye candy for your wife.
  5. I've got a "nook" (I think that's what they are called) like that in my office that I'm doing something similar with. I haven't decided what approach I'm going to take with it yet. I'm waiting for the RAH Unit 13 and its crazy long spears to get released so I can measure them up, see how much room they take, the execute a plan. How big is your nook L x W? Depending on how big it is you may want to consider more lights. I can send some experience your way.
  6. I need a Micronizer so I can put these in my HMR display.
  7. Ahhh, I see why you didn't link them. Shipping would be impossible for most of us. I was just curious more than anything. I've got 8 cabs like that and I was just curious how they compared price, size and feature wise. I get asked about mine all of the time (which are $1900) and if there was an alternative, especially one for less money, I'd like to be able to point people that way. Does yours have lighting?
  8. Just looked for a AmazonJP listing. Couldn't find one. If one of you sees it can you post it up? Thanks
  9. I was WAY wrong on the price! I'll get a couple.
  10. I had mentioned that I liked the show From. Someone said it sounded like Wayward Pines. I said something along the lines of I couldn't get into Wayward Pines: and "From has real monsters" or something. Well, I watched season 1 of WP. Originally I hadn't gotten far enough to see what was outside the fence. Ok, yeah. monsters. The two shows really couldn't be any more dissimilar though. WP is more Sci Fi. From is supernatural. And way, way better done IMO. WP was pretty weak. Your standard big network "produced by committee" for the lowest common denominator drivel. Not so bad that I didn't tough it out. But pretty bad. Good idea. Terrible execution. The total lack of explanation for the logistics was enough to drive me crazy and that was just the tip of the iceberg. The book series could be quite a bit better.
  11. Max doesn't fly Valks. His mere presence in the cockpit causes them to operate at the ragged edge of their performance envelope out of respect.
  12. And because the toy world is so goofy we'll get the Bandai version a couple months later.
  13. I have every 1/60 VF-1S Skull One. But they're all together on one shelf with the rest of the Focker Army. And it's really full. I'll probably get one. But common Bandai. Release the HMR!!!!
  14. Not that I need another Unit 01 at all (unless it's that 7ft tall one!). I'm curious. How big is this? I can't decipher it from the pics. Thanks
  15. I want one. But darn it! I have NOTHING to scale it with. NOTHING!!!!!!
  16. The Macross VF-31AX Mirage is delayed.
  17. Blitzway Press Release: This is Blitzway. Regarding the recent controversy regarding CARBOTIX VOLTRON products, we would like to announce our position as follows. First of all, we would like to apologize to the consumers who have purchased our CARBOTIX VOLTRON products for the problem of supply in quantity and defective issues that occurred in the initial quantity. All of Blitzway's executives and employees feel a heavy responsibility for letting consumers who have purchased our products and waited for a long time with this kind of problem. We have formed a special after-sales team at the head office in Korea to deal with defects found and received so far with sincerity and sincerity. We will do our best to provide after-sales service for customers who have received defective products, and we will do our best to prevent the same problem from occurring through more strengthened inspections for future shipments. Unfortunately, while monitoring the current situation, it was discovered that another company in the same industry systematically slandered Blitzway through acquaintances and some ghost IDs, and now formally commissioned the cyber investigation team belonging to the Seoul National Police Agency. It is under investigation by the police authorities. We requested an investigation by collecting suspicious circumstances such as testimonies, chat rooms, recordings, ID histories, and purchase histories of the contents. There was a part where many buyers already reported directly to whether or not they agreed with this part. Ghost IDs created for slander that you can see in community posts, slander in a non-purchasing state, dissemination and incitement to the fact that you received a refund after cancellation even without a purchase history, aggressive comments on articles supporting or supporting Blitzway, etc. , allegations of directing or encouraging this are currently being investigated. We have thought a lot before requesting such an investigation, and we would like to inform you that we do not intend to block the opinions of customers who have left comments with regret and upset after receiving a defective product. This case investigation request is intended to punish those who promoted systematic exaggeration and false agitation and public opinion, and to prevent the recurrence of that part. We reiterate that the investigation will not be conducted on the voluntary opinions of actual buyers. We promise to always listen to sound criticism and customer opinions and make improvements. CARBOTIX VOLTRON currently receives about 60 defective cases compared to domestic shipments. However, this VOLTRON has a large quantity reserved for shipment, which is rare in Korea, and the actual defect rate through systematic dissemination and slander This leads to more exaggerated issues. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Cyber Investigation Team will have no leniency for the dissemination of false facts and manipulation of public opinion turned out to be true. . We once again apologize and apologize for the occurrence of this issue. (Employers of Blitzway Inc.)
  18. That's the thing that BBTS is great for (and why I got this from BBTS). They have a great warranty return/replacement policy. If you get a bad copy they will replace it. If they don't have a unit to replace it with they will refund your money. I've even had them give me a deeeeeep discount to keep a unit that had a defect that they were unable to replace. I have mine PO'd through BBTS for this reason. I'm not worried about getting stuck with a junk unit. You have yours alreday?
