Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 nice stuff in there! soon, you'll need another detolf to fit everything. it always starts with 1, not i have 10. =] Thanks! I am not sure if I will ever have 10, but I am destined for one more at least to store my Macross Zero (damn that stuff is Big) and Macross Plus. Thankfully due to japanese exclusives I have no chance of collecting the full SDF Macross set so I am not really gonna start (though a VF-1D is in my future) I probably will end up with three total depending on how big Macross 7 stuff gets.

If you're worried about space in your detolfs, you can always use the mod i did and combine your 2 cases to make a larger case http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30278&hl=detolf&st=0 Still think it's the best display case bang for your buck!

baronv Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Here's the remnants of what's left of my collection/ After collecting heavily for the last 10 yrs. I sold most of my toy collection over the last 2-3 yrs. The only figures I keep on display are these in my home office. I don't buy much anymore, but if it can fit in the display, I'll still consider it I still need to catalog what I have left that is boxed up from my last move.

Mommar Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Props to melbin234 & Frogze, Awesome collections and use of display stands, especially Frogze with so many Valks in such a small space!! It's impressive however all I can think is if somebody trips there's going to be an awful lot of broken Valks in one place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yea, Frogze, sooo much potential energy built up into those valks getting knocked off! haha.... you're one brave dude. Great display Melbin. I think all of us that like to display our toys always comes to a point where we run out of space to display things nicely. Good job using the photo frame holders. I used to display some of my valks in that flying up position, but i opened up the feet of the valks and just used those to balance the valk. I think your method is a pretty good alternative to flexis and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-18S Hornet Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I did some searching for a thread dedicated to just showing off entire Macross collections and displays and there were only a few threads with individuals posting only their collection. Or there were collection pics hidden in other threads about display cases or toy pictures. I love to see how people display their toys so here's a new thread where everyone can participate to share their collections. This is a new dedicated thread for people to show off ONLY pictures of their Macross Collection Displays. You can post pictures of how you display them whether it's in a cabinet, glass displays, book cases, whole rooms, etc. NO pictures of individual toys since there is already a thread for that. Lets see all our Macross collections in 1 place! I'll start by showing off a section of my rearranged Macross toys in my custom detolf cabinet displays. I'm still working on rearranging the rest of the room so i'll post those later. 1/48 displays I also recently purchased mini acrylic display signs so i can label my collection for fun. need to make them for the rest of my displays and i'll post them later. This was my old display room circa summer 2009, but i'll post updated pics soon Jeez I need a house of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1x Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) very impressive, guys. hey kirik, what''s the story behind your plush valk? i haven't seen that one before. Edited March 8, 2011 by vf1x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 very impressive, guys. hey kirik, what''s the story behind your plush valk? i haven't seen that one before. It was a custom i made for the MW Con 2007 customs contest. i was originally inspired by the VF-1S plush valk and knew i could i make a better version. I just started off with the head and worked out the rest of the body on the fly without making any patterns. I was actually trying to design a 2nd version that was 1/3 smaller and made the patterns and started the sample version. However, i've kinda put the project on hold but hopefully will get back and finish an update sometime. =] Here's a link to the thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26922&st=0&p=629639&hl=plushie&fromsearch=1entry629639 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaorin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) * YAMATO 1/60v.II VF-1J ICHIJO TV TYPE * BANDAI 1/72 HCM VF-1J ICHIJO TV TYPE * CM's CORP. 1/8 "GUTTO KURU" Lynn Minmay * MACROSS CHRONICLE MAGAZINE Vol.1 (with large detailed article covering the Ichijo TV VF-1J) (i have a transparent plastic ring binder envelope bound into the magazine, between the last page and back cover, that neatly contains the instruction manuals and HCM file cards for both 1Js) i've parted ways with my 1/48s, and given my sole 1/55 to my mother's boyfriend. that pretty much consolidates my current MACROSS toy collection to what is shown above there. i've a few additional major MACROSS acquisitions planned, such as a VF-1S Focker, a YF-19 D.N. a VF-11C, and the YELLOW SUBMARINE 27cm. DYRL Lynn Minmay doll, if i can happen across one at a reasonable enough price. i'm also considering adding an unbuilt 1983 IMAI edition 1/72 VF-1J Ichijo T.V. but my mind isn't entirely made up about the necessity of that yet. finally, i think i'll be investing in the 1988 DYRL "GOLD BOOK" one of these odd days. there are lots of other little "minor" items i've had my eyes on, and just might get a hold of one of these odd days, but those mentioned above are my MVP standouts. one final thing; i just recently found an old (1950's/1960's) tin sewing machine accessory case at a yard sale for almost free, that i have fairly clumsily appropriated into a case for my VF-1's accessories. it serves the purpose quite well; Edited April 14, 2011 by Shaorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Display case advice question: I have an older IKEA cabinet that is about 18" wide x 68" tall x 18" deep, wood framed with glass on three sides (somewhat similar to the current "Grevback" model on the IKEA site. While it's been a great cabinet, I'm looking for something a bit bigger to accomodate more of my collection, perhaps around 24" wide and around the same height. Preferably something that can lock or have a lock installed on it. Not looking for anything fancy, as this sits in my garage/mancave. Any advice on a particular cabinet? Or source of good/cheap cabinets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
