Gakken85 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I count those as MP. The white 11's are nice though. It's just all the valks with speakers, dude playing guitar whilst flying etc. ignorance is bliss. Yeah.. I don't collect plus either and I get them confused. The two shows that shall not be named. hehe. Except for VF-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 My wallet and I are happily ignorant of M7. We would like to remain like this. Cool purchases though everyone.

Chronocidal Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Question for those of you with slowly growing stacks of boxes (those of you who keep them).. How exactly do you stack them? And how high do you go? I'm just curious because I recently came to the realization that I have a crapload of valks stacked up in my closet. Fortunately, both the Yamato/Arcadia and Bandai boxes tend to be designed so they can be stacked in different directions, and still come out roughly evenly stacked. I used to have all the boxes stacked laying face up, in tall piles, but noticed that the boxes were bulging out. Not a huge concern I guess, considering the internal reinforcement in the boxes (especially the big styrofoam blocks in the Bandai ones). But I got curious, and now have a bunch of the boxes stacked vertically and reinforced with one flat box after every vertical layer.. it's definitely a real-life Tetris situation. The bigger question though.. how high would people recommend stacking? I have the boxes filling a closet, and try to keep the occupied ones near the bottom, but they're stacked upwards of 6 ft high in there. I'm not overly concerned, because the packages are meant to be shippable, but I'd hate to open the closet and find the boxes have collapsed, and wind up with a bunch of destroyed valks.

Saburo Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Here's how I have mine stored. Most of my collection is Frontier Valks so the boxes are pretty much the same size. I have all my Valks boxes stacked 2 x 5 or 2 x4 horizontally in a larger outer box (group) which hold them in place. I stack the groups 3 high, the outer box keeps the boxes from falling apart from one another, so you can stack them higher. Here's a graphic I made, hopefully this helps give you some ideas.

Chronocidal Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ah, yeah, the outer boxes might be a nice structural thing, but I don't know if I'd have the room. Everything fits pretty snug right now. I probably just need a house instead of an apartment (I'd actually have the room to display some too then). One thing I have considered to save space is to take a bunch of the VF-1s out of their boxes, stack the trays inside a thicker box (like a fast pack bundle), collapse the individual boxes, and then partially disassemble a bunch of valks to pack them in styrofoam. The VF-1s take up much less room if you fold them up and remove the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My collection is not huge and I will probably be going through the same expansion pains as you down the road. I am in an apartment too, but I do have lots of closet space and that will eventually run out too. Sounds like your solution will work well but If you need to make space, you can sell stuff to me. I am just looking for Super/Strike parts for a VF-1S. Edited July 18, 2014 by Saburo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can transform any of the Bandai Valk no problem now, but I am too chicken to transform this VF-1S at the moment. I don't want to dive into the water, so I am going to find a transformation video first. I am pretty sure Jenius has one. There was one instance the property manager waved to me as I as coming home as she was driving away. "Nooooooo... my stuff!" great valk Yes, it is. I am kicking myself now. Why didn't I get into collecting 3 years ago. Edited July 22, 2014 by Saburo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon18 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Nice buy! VF-1s are pretty. Btw you don't need supers/strike for those since Roy's in it and it's the tv version. If you want to be totally accurate that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
