DeeLux Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hey Macross Worlders! I've been a lurker since the old days (well over 5 years). I'm a old school Macross collector/Fan (late 80's) from the Bay Area but now I live in LA. I'm also DETOLF owner thanks to this forum and its members. But I always wanted more out of a display case (too small!) and have delayed in buying more because of it. Well.... I made it into Ikea in Burbank this past weekend, and was pleasantly surprised that they now carry a new style of cabinet!! Its called a SKOGEN (don't you just love the names....) Its nice and deep, has a 45° top which I swear was made for Valkyrie's in all modes. Full Decription: SKOGEN GLS-DR CAB 19X55" BIR Price: 79.99 They don't have it online yet, so no link. Enough talk, here's the pics. Now don't judge me on my configuration, its still under construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 my problem with the Detolfs is they're not tall enough, not that they're not deep enough. Still, I could see how these could be incorporated into some cool set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orguss01 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 So does it have self supporting hinge, the top portion, does it stay up or have to hold it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeLux Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 It has a notch on the hinge to hold it open. No chance of it falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project Phoenix Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 It might be what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross73 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I like the cases on either side simply b/c ther taller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL Cool VF1J Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Those cases are nice. They look pretty simple to make. I could probably copy them in a wood shop. Hmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 interesting... but i still prefer the detolf as it's neither too big nor too small and you can really do wonders within those space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Starscream Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 That is a very nice collection you have there. You have it laid out very well and it is very organized. You also have a nice huge queen alien in there and I can;t help but love the Alt/BT's you have in the lower left! I have seen these cases before, someone posted their collection over at Seibertron and they had their TF collection in them. They display the figures so nicely and I would love to have about 5 cases to put all of my stuff. Alas I have really no room for display casses and so the top of my TV, Book shelf, and Computer desk act as my display for my Macross and select TF's.

baronv Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice collection, once I get my own house I'll be getting those glass cases as well. Some of my friend's have them in their living rooms and those that don't own a house here have them all cramped up in their bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Welcome,.... show-off j/k do you have a pic of that GPB poster? and is it an authentic Macross poster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeLux Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Aww, come on! I've waited a long time to show off my collection to you guys. They've been in boxes for so many years they had to stretch their legs! And the wall scroll is a CTS (China Town Special!) I'll post more pics of my stuff when I get home.

I figure the combination between the two gives me a even medium. do you have a pic of that GPB poster? and is it an authentic Macross poster? 401917[/snapback] Here ya go!

VF-19 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've got the exact same display cabinet (with a few gundam models in it, no Macross yet). I used Ikea's lighting kit to put a small halogen light on the top. Looks great lit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 awesome poster, i do not think that is a frame from the normal show however, the details and shading look alot better then what was seen in most episodes. nice detolfs as well, i have 4 now and they are already almost filled the new one you got i have ever seen before it is nice but a little to small for me and it cost like $20.00 more then the detolfs over here in MA you can pick them up at the store for $59.00 chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 402364[/snapback] Great poster! Mind sharing where you obtained it from and how much? Thanks! 407608[/snapback] wow, you never saw this wall scroll before? I bought mine back in 2001. I'm sure there's plenty more in chinatown/ toy district. I'm sure they'll have it at AX as well. I saw it every time I went to AX. I bought it at 10 bucks. I'll see if they have any more in the toy district. Besides, these aren't official wall scrolls, so it's nothing to get worked up over, granted it looks pretty cool on the wall. Deelux, welcome... finally! 5 years huh? that's a long time lurking. You must've missed out on a lot of deals in the for sale section. Anyway, you ever go to Frank and Sons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 P, didn't notice it was a wallscroll. I thought it might be an actual poster which I've never seen before. Oh and I didn't search for posters at AX; hate carrying that damn poster tube unless there is a guest I really wanted an autograph for. Might look around in new Chinatown sometime. Thanks.
