  1. They're pretty available. eBay (which is usually expensive) has new ones starting about $400. I suppose if I could sell the current one I have I could cover the cost of a PO PF unit without much trouble. Arcadia PO's from what I have seen (which is very little) aren't much of a lottery. I'm not sure if I want to mess with it though. That seems like a lot of work!
  2. I agree it looks pretty plain for a PF. I have a non PF brand new in the box. I'm debating selling it and getting a PF. But not really hard.
  3. True story^^. I think it was Einstein that proved it. Mondays=Coffee -1
  4. I had been in it 10yrs ago (not to this level). I sold my collection along with just about everything else of value I could convert to cash (motorcycles, Lego sets, firearms, etc) to help finance a new business. It killed me to do it, but sacrifices have ti be made sometimes. For the past ten years I have been eyeballing toys and wanting to get back into it. About two years ago the business really started to come together and I started to have actual money that I didn't need to plow back into inventory or R&D. Yeah, a few months back (8/19/19) I ordered my first toy for the new collection. I've gone a wee bit bonkers since then. I have a pile of loot still in boxes almost as big as what is displayed right now! It's now time to back off on acquisitions and get my display stuff all lined out. I'm starting to bump into space issues.
  5. Are these teaser pics of something that is getting released?
  6. Thank you! Yeah, that's the Toys Alliance Prime. He's a MONSTER! I think this is higher res. Keep in mind there is very little organization going on here. This is the product of un-boxing toys, putting them in the display and seeing what I end up with in regards to space. There are I think 17 Valks to un-box still and a quite a few Super Robots. Even if I get everything in there tight and stacked with Yeti stands this just isn't enough room. I'm going to have to set my wallet on fire and order another one of those cases today. Thanks for Mirin'
  7. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I can't wait!!!!
  8. Yeah, they're pretty sweet! I had been eyeballing them online for weeks. Then because of the power of Google/Facebook I was shown a art store that was selling some used when I was out of town in Chicago. I went back the next weekend with my truck and picked them up for...................................$450 per case. I tried talking them into a third, but they weren't going for it. Not that I could have fit it in the truck. I would have had to stash it at my buddies house and go back again (9 hrs round trip). I really need another. I don't even have everything un-boxed yet. I am not looking forward to moving these. It's going to turn into a multi day affair when you add in unloading/loading of the toys. And did I mention they're heavy? Holy crap! And this third one is going to run me retail plus delivery. I guess it's kinda weird to buy a zilion dollars in toys then complain about the case price. But I'm going to do it anyway. It's going to look pretty sweet when that whole wall is lighted case though.
  9. Well, crap. I'm going to have to get another one of these display cases. I AM NOT looking forward to moving these. They weigh I'm guessing 300lb. They're impossible to level standing up when on the carpet. Which means they have to be tipped over and let down gently on their side every time you adjust (so adjust smart). All three big cases will fit on that wall. I've got a bunch of Yeti stands to set up. They're not going to do the trick though. I'll move the two Detolf's that are pictured to the opposite wall behind my desk on a riser. I have one more for good measure. As usual, everything I do gets out of hand.
  10. This quote by Martin Luther King cheers me up when things aren't going my way: The arc of the universe is long. But it bends toward justice.
  11. I saw a review on this guy the other day and thought he looked fun. BBTS had him marked down from $180 to $60. SOLD! This guy IS super fun! Absolutely worth $60. BBTS link: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/7324
  12. Not only do they let you do cool displays. They really save on cabinet room. Which is starting to become an issue for me.
  13. This is a better Batrroid angle
  14. I played with the stand a bit today and spread these guys out a bit. Switched up Battroid mode. added ordinance to Gerwalk. I really dig these stands.
  15. Yeah, they don't need sights. But it looks cool!
  16. I like the 1/48 because it's SO beefy. That said, when taking everything into account I think the 1/60 edges it out. That's coming from a "Big Toy Guy".
  17. Good find!
  18. Now you can contact Arcadia for the updated parts.
