OK, I think this might be the first thread I've ever created... Wow! The reason I'm posting this here as opposed to the gallery section is because I want to see VINTAGE not a never ending plethora of SOCs that are all the same... Not that it's bad, but it's a monotony I cannot bear.. The title says it all. What is the favorite shelf in your collection?? This is not a pissing contest, and it's NOT about who has the most rare stuff, it's about the stuff you really love. It could be a shelf of beat down Gobots, but if the MEAN something to you then WIN!! My favorite shelf used to change from time to time until I finally just put a bunch of my favorite stuff all on ONE. FEEL the love... So, which is your favorite shelf?  ?? I'll start:  |

What a phenomenal assortment! Gardian, set, Getter trio, Maz race car, Daiku Maryu, ... The Daltanias head, of course, is top notch. I've got one so I can appreciate it in person, but I'm missing the firing cockpit of the Delfighter.  So what the F is that Getter 3? That thing is so crazy. I've got to really think about what my favorite shelf is. Mine are so long, and I really grouped things by show and such, so my individual favorites are scattered. I'll ponder this for a bit and post at weekend's end. |

Erik is startin' a thread...holy cow! ;D Superb shelf. Fantastic mixture I like that! BTW...isn't vintage the (only) real thing?  Ok that's only my totally subjective view... I tried to make a foto of my favorite shelf(s). Ok my today's favorite shelf. I have the same "problem" as you Erik, my favorite shelf changes from time to time...sometimes multiple times a day. But today...now..this is my favorite. I like it colorful and cramped!  ....hmmmm, the Shogun Warriors shelf isn't bad too...I thing my favorite shelf changed this minute...  P.S:: Sorry for the size of the picture, I thought a bit bigger is better - if you want to see some details... |

Some SICK shelves there guys! For myself, I really have a thing for the Jumbo Grip series.  I don't know why. I mean I certainly love the Gatchaman, since I grew up with the Sandy Frank show, but even some of the others that I never heard of have something that just draws me in. |

Great shelf Bill! What about the box on the left side (purple, with big typo) with the 3 Jumbos inside. Is that a kind of "shipping box"? I have seen a similar box for the "small" Grip Zabitan (Akumaizer) on Yahoo.  |

Another great shelf! Those Time bokans are sweet. chogoman, I believe those cases are how they were shipped out. I imagine a big brown case with a few of those packs being sent to the stores back in the days. I've also seen the little ones just clear wrapped with 10 random grips. |

Oh sure , you have to start this thread while I'm still traveling. Great topic, and pix from you loonies. I loves me some colorful funky vintageness.
Myles, and Jack berated and beat me with half cooked Pad Thai noodles over dinner, about my not contributing enough, so I promise I'll share when I get home! Haha

Hey, we never said you didn't contribute enough! I just said I didn't recall ever seeing pics of your collection (which is certainly your right not to post). But if you are going to throw up a shot of your favorite shelf, then I'm excited to see. I'll try to get snapping of my own favorite tonight. |

I've seen some really cool pics of John's collection. He puts the boxes in there and everything. Love to see more. Well, guys, what can I say? AWESOME PICS!! Stephan's shelves just floor me. Bill-san's minimal Grip awesomeness is SICK. And Edwardo's TT shelf has my all time favorite toy in it, Combat Action Goshogun amid a flurry of incredible pieces.. OK, as this thread is not getting much traction, I'll throw one more into the mix:  |

Since I threw up the Zenmai shelf up above I figured, what the hell, I might as well throw up my favorite Bullmark Kaiju shelf as well:  |
