Amazing Gil!! You have every Jumbo that I want...Godsigma, Daltanious, Liger, etc.
No worries on the computer stuff, I'm in the same boat as you!
Best,
Jeff aka Rodman75

This pic breaks my heart. So many "I'll never haves".
I know that's just standard, bummer-talk but I will NEVER be able to talk myself into the prices Voltes have been going for.
Bourno- I truly think this should be your next project. You made one dream come true... do it again!

Chris, I do have high considerations about buying a 3D printer such as the B9Creator, Form1, or similar open project this year. I wish I had stepped up and got in the Form1 kickstarter program now. Didn't think they were going to raise the price at around $1000 more afterwards. Voltes is one of the jumbos I would like to try, but I have very little 3d drafting experience, but have used regular autocad off and on.
Doublas would be another on my cool to make list

Here is a picture I took over the weekend of my Jumbos on display in my study..  However, I have a few more pieces currently en route from Japan so I'll have to make more room when they get here. |

Great setup!! What's coming over from overseas? Jumbos? Which ones? Daimos looks awesome by the way. Let the board know when you're willing to start accepting orders for Daimos gender changes, lol!!
Congrats on a beautiful arrangement!

Not exactly the picture quality I'd like but here's the most updated version of my collection. This picutre was taken on my cell phone camera and my collection is in my basement.
I've got two more jumbos enroute, including the customized Voltron and another Popy JM. I also have one more case to assemble, so when they arrive and I get around to convincing my wife to help me put together another case, I'll post another pic.
Regards,
Rodman75

Congrats on a beautiful arrangement! Regards, Rodman75 Currently my "madeover" Daimos really is my favorite Jumbo (sorry Combattler) I'll be experimenting with putting together a 2nd customized Daimos over the next couple of weeks. If it turns out nicely then I may consider parting with one of them. As to what is headed here from overseas... Well lets just wait until they get here and I can take pictures of them before I say which ones they are (I never consider them to really be "mine" until I actually have them in hand). I'll definitely have to make some adjustments to the shelving though if I want to have them all on display in here. (the Micronauts may have to move in with the Transformers) |

Hey Luclin, that's a nice display there, I love the fact that they are integrated with other stuff.
Rodman, really nice line up, quality is going higher and higher. But you didn't told us you had stock option from IKEA ;D
Gil, thanks a lot for your compliment, but it feels weird when somebody with a collection like yours is saying that, your collection is simply fantastic and almost complete.
I'm always surprised when I see such a great collection, there's so many great collection out there we don't know about, I'm really glad you share it with us.
But watch out as I'm on the hunt for a Daidenjin, so we will have to fight for one maybe one day ;D. He's actually on top priority for me now.
Thanks a lot all for sharing, it's always a pleasure for the eyes.

I really envy you guys that have big space to display these lovely JMs...I can only keep them in their boxes in confined area due to small space in my country  @gil: I like the part where some of the JMs are displayed on the floor, i might adopt that in future once if i have a chance to move to a bigger place, i like the way the Gatchaman JM and Daiku is on the floor, cool! best, d.o.e |

Thanks Mike for you compliment. If I recall Daidenjin is the the one you need to finish you hero JM collection! Wow your almost there! Hopefully we wont have to be bidding against each other to get that guy  @ D.O.E. Im lucky to have a decent size place for displaying my JM's but Daiku is so big the floor is the only practical place to put him! Good thing I have wood floors to make everything look neat. I would love to see some of your JM's D.O.E. |

Hey Mike,
Yes, I should be buying stock in Ikea. For me, these are the cheapest way to display my JM's in a nice way. I would love a really expensive case but the price ($1800-2500) for the cases I want just don't make sense. If I'm going to spend $2500 it will be for Polyethylene, not glass, LOL!
I love seeing all these collections. It's inspiring and gives me ideas and motivation to continue collecting.
Luclin: I don't blame you for staying 'mum' on the subject. I always get nervous that if I somehow let the cat out of the bag, my jumbo will get hijacked buy another unscrupulous collector. We all remember Truecrud's Combattler story, yikes!
@gil & Mike; Did you guys catch the Daidenjin that was on YJA about a month ago? I wonder who won that?
Let's keep the photos coming!!

I would love to see some of your JM's D.O.E. Hi Gil, this is for you. It is quite a long time since i open my Poseidon and Com V to take a look at them, and it made my day, it just tell me that this is all worthwhile, the sight of them all together is priceless. I only have 7 jumbos at the moment in my collection, and I hope to add more.  ps: the villian is clearly outnumbered ;D best, d.o.e |

Thats a very nice line up D.O.E.! Thank you. Yeah I ask myself that question all the time but I forget about it everytime I see a jumbo that I don't have for sale! Rodman yeah I did see that Daidenjin last month that poped up on YJ. It was just bad timing for me because of the holidays. That seller had that Ultraman Leo also a couple months ago also if I recall correctly .I wonder what else he has? |

They look great DOE! You have some serious high end, rare Jumbos! Make some room of the shelf and get that gorgeous Voltes off the floor!! LOL. Has the Combattler V ever been taken out of the plastic wrapping? I sent you a PM....

Rodman75
