Childhood Grail Toy Complete

One of my best childhood memories has always been the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers and as long as I can remember I always liked playing with the Dino Megazord. Even though today the Dino Megazord I have today is not the same one as I had 15 years ago as it was in ruins from all the playing I did with it. Having tracked it down now brought so much nostalgic feelings. Before I started collecting this was the very toy that I feel started it all and it was only fitting that I felt I needed to track one down and complete it into the Ultrazord. Now today I have found the final missing puzzle Titanos and this is now is one of my prized pieces in my collection.

The only problem I have is that the Ultrazord doesn't fully fit in a detolf as the Dragonzord chest piece prevents the glass door from closing. So for now its just put to the side.

Even though Bandai is releasing the Legacy version of this set, I still would have gotten the whole set as this brings back a lot of good memories.

Fiance helps rearranging my Collection

After 4 hours of assembling 2 new detolfs and moving all the furniture from my room around, the end result was something I didn't expect. Most figures were open today but many are still needed to be opened. (Maybe I need to buy 2 more detolfs haha) But for now please enjoy updated collection as I can't stop turn my head to side to just admire the view.

Her idea to put the boxes on top of the detolf. 

Farewell Figuarts One Piece

Another set of my Figuarts One Piece Collection sold. The reason I am getting out of these is because I can not keep up with all the releases they have each month. But also trying to get the first 5 waves is hard enough with their after market prices. I shall only for now collect the P.O.P line as the quality and size fit in my collection a bit more. More posts coming soon.

A Point in a Collector's Life

There is a point in a collector’s life where he has to let go of some of his collection for something more important. And in my case I hoped raise money for something big for my one and only. She has accepted my hobby and by doing this I hope to buy her a ring that she will forever treasure so here is what I am selling.

For her to accept my big hobby and for I collect so much I have to be fair to her too. As a result I chose to sell all of my Banpresto One Piece Grandline Figures. Already now I collect Portraits of Pirates and Figuarts Zero too. As there was no need for me to collect this line too, as it isn't really a necessary part of my collection. Portraits of Pirates being the highest form quality and Figuarts Zero for their diversity in the series is more than enough for me as a One Piece collector.

Altogether I have managed to gather up within 6 months of this year 2012, 39 in total Banpresto One Piece figures. And the craziest thing is that it isn't even complete. As I am still missing 3 volumes from the older series.

So here is what i had so far, 39 figures.

I would like to thank Frank V for buying this whole set in one go, I know that it wasn't easy for him to buy such a big collection in one go. But he helped me a lot as it wasn't easy for me to let them go and I wanted them all go to a new home together and for that I thank you Frank.

Packaging them and look at them one more time brought me back memories when I first opened them up. But now they have to all go to a new home and hopefully one where they will be carefully taken care of and admired. One Piece is a really great manga/anime and throughout the series there has been a lot of epic characters. And there always will be in the upcoming series. 

My Collection, My Room Display

It's been a while since I uploaded something so I thought I would finally post pictures of my room. It isn't much but I pride very much on what I already have.

Here is a list of some of the things that are not in display right now.

 So much gundam kits that I need to build

I so badly want to open all the figures I have in those boxes 

Only started collecting hot toys this year and this is how much I've obtained so far. Some are still in boxes though

Guess who is the odd one out on this shelf :3

Need to open more of my classics Autobots but no more room here 

Took a while for me and the misses to find those bottles :D
And sigh not much of the Decepticons has been opened yet

 2012 has been a crazy year for me as I have bought and started collecting so much stuff. The year has almost ended and another year is about to come. As I hope next year I will hope to spend a little less on these guys as I have something more important to achieve. Thanks
