Renato Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 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. I heard it was due to licensing. Similar to how usually resin kits are one-day exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 These are garage kit makers. I doubt they can afford a full toy license... besides, some of the sculpts are so bad you wouldn't want to have a ton of those in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 How often do you actually play with any one piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) How often do you actually play with any one piece? seems like i'm always fiddling with my YF-19 1/60v.I. as a result, i've had to fully dismantle it to tighten up joints. that in mind, it's in pretty tight shape to this day, considering how many transformations i've run it through so far, and it's manifold of notorious QC issues. my VF-1s see lots of use too, but i seem to always be reaching for that old -19 all the same. for whatever reason, something about the -19 design is just plain "fun" to me, at any given moment 24/7 soon, i plan to retire it, in favor of the VF-19S 1/60 i plan to get from HK collectibles just as soon as i can afford it next...

KiriK Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 my expo at 01/11/2012...missed renewal bandai, yamato 30th and much more wow, nobody commented on this guy's collection? it's pretty frickin impressive!!!! you got a lot packed in there for your displays, but it looks like you have almost everything Kicker has. Jealous in that fact, but i actually do like the spaced out display Kicker has versus to overstuffed shelves. and although i like the frontier figures, i like them in their own separate shelves than mixed in with mecha, but to each their own!! great collection pics as always! i'd love to be able to see some of these collections in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any comment is needed other than silent shocked awe, and a question of when his personal Macross Museum will open for tours, and what are the hours. ... there is a main page?

Plus it looked empty with just the valks. Wanted to keep it frontier themed. Working on the macross 2 shelf now. The customs display case has one more shelf to accommodate the various MGs I have. No challenges here. To each his own =] winks* and wave* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 No just no room. I'm eager to open them though. Got all the sdcc lmtd ed. The gold one just arrived last week. I'm itching to open something. Probably the Skywalker hot toys tonight =). My batman is being customized and my postman missed me today, I think it was the zero blu ray .

aceoftherebellion Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 They're the Ikea cases, right? They were ~$65 last I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yup. The Detolf cases which are 65 a pop. Really cheap for decent, modern looking curio cases. It was just a pain getting them upstairs by myself. The glass is heavier than you'd expect lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
