Mechapilot77 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) This is perfect fit for the SV-51 http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-KN13 This is a perfect fit for the Bandai Andromeda http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-KN14CL The only thing is that the clear walls are flexible vinyl, but they hold their shape really well - but for some reason (maybe during shipping which is very expensive to ship an oversized flat parcel to North America only via EMS) they became statically charged and now attracts a lot of dust to the clear walls. I have to try to find some sort of static spray to treat them, but I suppose they will loose their charge over time. nice! can you do me a favor and get and measure the dimensions on those two? i could use some detolf toppers too. :-) thanks in advance! oh nevermind i see the measurements ont eh box in cm.

Wasabi-san Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 After looking at everyones displays and the cases, the comments about UV light damaging the plastic makes sense, and peoples solution of UV sheets on windows and keeping the collection in the dark limits damage, but I like to know if there have there been any tests done to see if LED lights do other kinds of damage to the items? Case in point. I'm looking at building birch plywood w/ cherry stained cabinets that have plex or glass shelves, with LEDs running vertically down each side of the front, facing rearward behind glass (think newer vending machines). The front glass will be the one-way smoked mirror glass that you can see through only when the lights are on, otherwise remains dark when off (security when the cableguy, or other "guests" are over that might not appreciate the collection). It would be an enclosed space that would confine the light wavelengths. Any thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's not just UV that damages objects, it's light. Period. Rate of light damage is proportional to intensity. So, if the lighting is too bright, then it's going to fade and damage the object. That said, if you want to totally nerd out there's been some studies on the use of LED's with regard to light sensitive material: http://www.apsnyc.com/LED%20for%20Art%20Applications_Steven%20Weintraub.pdf It looks like LEDs are better, but it's still a matter of intensity. If you rig an LED up that's super blazingly bright, then yes, it's going to damage the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenttoyou Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Just ordered three display cases, which I think are the sames ones as kicker got. costed me a little over 12 benjamins and they should arrive in about 3 weeks. Very excited. Edited February 15, 2013 by brenttoyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenttoyou Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) congrats! I'd be interested in knowing where you get them from! More info is appreciated.Here is site I used: http://www.slstoredisplays.comThe price isn't the cheapest but the store offered free shipping to a business address for orders over 1K. Since inside delivery is very expensive for folks like me living in an apt in new york city, I have them shipped to my mover and have my mover delivered inside. In the end I probably saved about 300 in shipping. this site (http://www.fixturedepot.com/) offers the same product for $80 less but the shipping eats all the savings in my case.

locidm Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 cool thanks! I wonder how hard they are to assemble. Not bad for $400. Shipping isn't that horrible either. Great find! I wish I knew about them earlier before I bought my cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew about them earlier before I bought my cabinet. I have also been looking at these for a while. I found a site that was selling them that had youtube videos of them being assembled. They looked pretty easy to assemble with help, I couldn't tell which site though... Edited February 16, 2013 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 just restarted my collection. the -11B, -19Kai & it's Sound Booster, and the Millia -22S are on the way. Gonna order the -17D and it's super parts here in a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenttoyou Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Found the video! It is from displays2go.com, right? They also have electronic copy of the instruction posted on the website as well. Unfortunately they charge way too much for the cases (close to 600). I have done a lot of research and found that fixturedepot has the best merchandise price but slstoredisplay offers the best total price in my case because of the free shipping.

Kicker773 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 you should install wheels on them. That's what I have on mine. Easy to move around for reconfiguration of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 These are some old pics.. but gotta get the thread moving... Not much love for the Frontier V1 valks since the V2 are out but hey if they had only kept the v1 I would have been complete with all armaments for each valk that was out there. Maybe in the future I'll hunt the v2's but for now they are basically the same to me. Ozma and Alto with TV FP and Ozma, Alto and Michael with Tornado and missiles and of course the original line up with their Armored parts I do have the renewal alto for some reason and the 30th Anniv. ed. still in boxes. Then again these are old pics. Enjoy =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceoftherebellion Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I love that display, seriously. Honestly, I love the V1s. I think they kinda get a bad rap/weren't what people were hoping for, but knowing the flaws going in, I don't regret the two I own for a second. I think they're pretty nice toys! And honestly, given the prices on the version two releases at the moment... Personally, I think the V1s are still a pretty viable option, even still. In fact, I'll probably stick to them for my Frontier collection for the other VF-25/27 releases, too. Leave the V2s to the rest of you fine folks who can afford them/care more about the minor differences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaorin Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) My current displayed pieces. foto gen 2013 010.JPG a much better method in which to achieve a dynamic-looking static YF-19 1/60v.I BATTROID pose. YMMV; a single-notch forward-canting of the GERWALK thigh joints, combined with a slight rearward tilt of the torso, enough for a natural posture, and for the hips to clear the pelvic glove-mountings for better "A" leg-spread, does wonders towards a better neutral BATTROID stance, IMHO anyhow; you mean one of these?

I have no idea what the logic is for making these things so damn rare. It's not like the manufacturers are making any more money. Sadly it would probably be easier to make one from scratch with a BJD body, a salvaged PVC Ranka figure head, and have clothes custom made. But yeah, I would be interested too, but I'm not counting on that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
