Got some Tony Stark Figuarts and my first Hall of Armor set, as well as a new Ikea cabinet to load up.  I haven't figured out what the lighting will be yet but I'm thinking LED tape on the back boards and then putting a diffusion layer of vinyl or acrylic or something in front of them.  But, as you can see it's HMR Monster Approved.

Hey, a fellow Subie fan! I drive a '11 WRX STI myself! Too bad Autoart hasn't released the rest of the Subaru WRX STI line. I'm still looking for a good scale model of the '11 series.

Awesome bro! We've got the same gen! Yeah man I love my Rex! Especially in the corners! Do you live in California?

I live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia bro. Driving here is quite the experience. The roads are excellent, but the drivers are not. :rolleyes:

lol, those are a few of my Diamond Select Starship Legends ships and a few Eaglemoss with them, though the Enterprise NX is the original Art Asylum

This the electronic one? If so it's the same I have, main selling point was the Undiscovered Country quotes.

I should really pick that -A up, I've got the TWOK version (literally so I can have an instant pushbutton "KHAAAAAAN!!!" on my desk :lol: ), but the materials, paint and quality of it frankly suck.  They used this weird pearly and semi-transparent plastic that shows insane amounts of light bleed through, and some of the paint colors are awful.  I literally ripped it apart, painted it a deep gray on the inside (the whole ship got darker from it), and clipped off the impulse engine light, because it was making the entire saucer and neck glow. :rolleyes:

It is, that's the Undiscovered Country re-issue.  Waiting "patiently" for their USS Reliant!

Yeah I'm not terribly impressed with the overall finish of the Diamond Select Trek ships, but for only $50 I'm not expecting filming quality models. :lol:

I picked up the Enterprise-B and it looks great with all the lights on. 

Wish someone would release an Enterprise-C so I'll have all the Enterprises.

I'd love to get the full set of Enterprise star ships with the exception of the recent TV series version which was total shite.. 

Yes would be nice to have a larger scale Enterprise C! Love the Ambassador class ship!  

You actually knew the class of ship the C was? NEEEEERRRRRRRRD!!! :lol:

I have illuminated models of all the Enterprises except C. Yes, even the NX-01. :rolleyes:

The 1/850 Bandai kits are a spectacular model for the price at MSRP, that's for sure.  Someone here picked one up recently but idk if they've put it together yet.  Diamond Select started getting much better with the Enterprise B, D, Excelsior, and Klingon BOP.  Their previous sculpts were from Art Asylum acquisitions I believe, and didn't really age all that well.  (lol, sorry if we're derailing this thread with Trek toys)

This is my buddy’s enterprise collection.  A thru E all diamond select.  He is currently working on a custom lit C model.  

He also just snagged a custom lit voyager with running lights on eBay.  One of my favorites.  He’s definitely a trekky!!

Ooh, if you don't mind me asking, I'd love details on how this display was put together.  Are those backgrounds just printed on glossy paper and front-lit with the LED strings?

Awesome pick up! I was trying to get a Deadpool, but never saw it go up on the Hasbro website!! Do you happen to have an extra for sale?! 

Yeah it was up for a short period in the morning.  Sorry I only have one.

Wow! You got yours before I got mine! How?

Got it from a friend for regular price.  Did you get yours yet?

I'm still waiting on my X-Force deadpool to arrive, it's been bumping around Comerce City, Co for the last three days (idiot pot heads.). In the meantime my Dad just found Human torch for me at Walgreens yesterday.

Yeah I saw both FF figures on Walgreen’s site but I passed on them.  Sticking to just X-Men related figures.

Last arrivals! Some of them almost two months in transit.

I’d like to thank the Academy (and @spanner)

PS: Divorce papers are behind the boxes

OMG, that is literally my top 4 Macross wish list in one picture!  On a completely unrelated note what is your address and what times is your house unoccupied?  Of course I'm completely joking, sorry not really a joking matter.  I had a good friend who over the course of 30+ years amassed the most amazing collections of Star Wars stuff I'd ever seen and by inviting over the wrong people ended up robbed blind, the police recovered most of it back minus what the bastard was able to sell.........  So, not funny I guess.
