I love this thread. It's so cool seeing other people's collections. Strangely enough I'm buying extra shelving this weekend. Picking up a few storage cubes from Argos and one of those Ikea Detolf glass display cabinets for figures and model kits for my upstairs otaku room. Currently it already...

@crashmatt I agree. I'm not about to slate it before it's even out. Can't believe they went with that massive size though, I'd say most people will struggle to find a place to put it. As for what HdE said you're probably referring to the two compilations when you say there's content you don't...

Does anyone know if the size of this set will be the same as the French set that this is based on? There are unboxing videos of it on Youtube and it looks fricking HUGE. I'm concerned that I'll have nowhere to put this beast of a set. Though given the discussion about possible quality issues...

Glad It's of interest. If it helps you let me know. I plan to post more modelling articles as I get more confident on things like painting and other techniques. I'll also be doing mecha figure reviews. I'm also going to do non-mecha figure reviews on my other blog Animehead's Retroworld soon...

@Patient-X I built this kit last year as my first foray into plastic modelling. I wrote a blog post about it. You can see completed pics at Retro Mecha Podcast's blog Retro Mecha Podcast

Got this guy today through the post from Big Bad Toy Store. I love the original series much more than Z so had to grab this as you don't see anywhere near as many good quality figures of the Kid version of Goku. Slowly collecting the figuarts line. I also have Roshi pre-ordered for August. I'll...

@Gemsy-chan Let me know what you thought of the Psycho Pass manga. I love the anime (I even don't mind the much maligned second season) however I've yet to dip my toe into the manga version.

A UK Manga Video promo poster for Patlabor: The Movie from the early 90's. These are pretty hard to find these days, if you were into anime back then and used to buy stuff on VHS from Manga Video you might remember them. You got a token card to attach stickers to and you could use the token...

Hey guys. For the last few weekends I've been working on building a Bandai model kit and I finally completed it last weekend. I posted an image of the box in the "what did you receive today?" thread a while back. It's the 1/20 scale Custom Red Shoulder Scopedog from one of my favourite mecha...

It's refreshing to hear someone say they love the original Dragon Ball more than Z. I feel exactly the same way. To be honest it's refreshing to hear anyone talk about the original Dragon Ball at all. It seems that a large percentage of fandom that got hooked on Z doesn't really care too much...

I haven't been very active on the forum for the last few months but I have been watching stuff. ZZ Gundam Episodes 20-46 (End) While I found the first half's more comedic tone enjoyable the series definitely kicks into high gear in the second half and doesn't completely abandon the comedy but...

Yeah the cost of some of em can be painful. I really like Chogokin robot figures as well which are loaded with diecast metal which makes their price so much higher than plastic figures and kits, they range anywhere from £140 to £200+ depending on the size and number of accessories, I only own a...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Well I've really enjoyed doing my blog Animehead's retroworld lately (see the thread in creative projects) just need to find a bit more time to work on that, my fiction and the brand new podcast that Orgun and I are working on (See The Retro Mecha Podcast thread...

@Patient-X There's something very aesthetically pleasing about different colour plastic on Blu ray cases, I have green, black, white and red in my collection. I guess it's just the fact they stand out a bit against the usual blue.

Hey guys. Craig Here, if you'd like a bit more info on the retro mecha podcast's origins and what our mission statement is, I talk about all of this in this article and give you a brief outline of the other stuff you can expect from Episode 1 apart from the Zambot 3 discussion/review...

I really love the collection tracker on this site too. The way it shows all the jacket art in your collection is pretty cool. Only thing is though even using the menu pictured I still quite often find UK discs missing from the database so nowhere near my whole collection is on there. A lot of...

Oh I know people do often pay scalper prices for stuff I just wasn't sure if they necessarily were with the Ranma sets. I know it goes on though. I've paid a bit over the odds for some manga in my time when it's went out of print and I've needed a volume for a good while that I couldn't find...

I was really glad I went for the Ranma collectors edition sets as they were released. I've seen some of them listed for really silly money on Ebay. Not sure if anyone's actually buying em at scalper prices though. Yeah me too. A lot of forum members here have generally very good taste when it...

I haven't played a lot of games this year and the ones I have beaten have been kind of short except for the Yakuza series. Anyway here goes:- Resident Evil 0 (PS4 remaster) (Replay) Hyper Light Drifter (PS4) Yakuza 0 (PS4) Yakuza Kiwami (PS4) Astebreed (PS4) Firewatch (PS4) Dragon's Crown (PS3)...

Published another 2 articles since the last update here. One on a 1969 Toei anime movie called "Phantom Flying Ship" and also put up one yesterday that's about something I think most anime fans can relate to (particularly those into old school titles) the seemingly never-ending battle against...
