Nice nice nice.

I have gone that way too.

I have gone for the 1:1 Props and big stuff because I was always a Star Wars collector. I had literally hunderds of K $ tied up in mint cardboard and plastic.

The Master Replicas spoiled me and made me dislike the simplicity of rare old toys.

When it comes to comparing a rare old unpunched carded figure and a 1:1 terminator bust for the same money......

Give me big and shiny any day. My Star Wars toys are all but gone now.

Love your stuff.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

LOOK AT THIS LINK:

Lot 920 email save
Hero aerial Hunter/Killer - The Terminator


920. Screen-used hero aerial Hunter/Killer from The Terminator. (Orion, 1984) The Hunter Killer or "HK" series of anti-personnel combat units were the simplest and most numerous of the various combat oriented Machines designed by SKYNET to wipe out the human race. This Aerial Hunter/Killer was built by Gene Warren, Jr. and his crew at Fantasy II Film Effects for the "Future War" sequences in the first groundbreaking Terminator film directed by James Cameron. This 1/6th-scale Aerial HK is created of steel, aluminum, fiberglass wood and resin and measures 43 in. long x 27 in. wide. This filming miniature was suspended by wires and shot strictly from low angles showing the bottom of the machine replete with mounted plasma gun. This is the only Aerial HK built for the first groundbreaking Terminator film. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Academy Award-winning visual effects wizard, Gene Warren, Jr. $30,000 - $50,000


This is why I am into LICENSED PROP-REPLICAS and not really into MOVIE-PROPS.

The HCG 60" Flying Hunter Killer is really such a "steal" at US$3,500

MY GOD THIS IS HEAVY!!!!!

No bloody wonder they limited this to 25 units. I was a muscle freak for 20 years a long time ago and I was truly horrified at how heavy it was. I managed to lift it on to its base then lifted the whole shebang onto a small cabinet. ( All by myself )

Next time I will be patient and invite friends over.

BOXES
Being new to the world of Massive Collectibles I was wondering what you guys do with the Humungous Gigantic Boxes for items. I know I should keep them but how to find space for wardrobe sized boxes. I feel like cutting out the print where it says #13 of 25 and throwing the rest away but being a Master Replicas Nut I just cant seem to bring myself to do it?

Did you guys keep the massive box from your Termonator 1:1 Endo Skeleton Base? ie the one with all the black plastic bags full of foam?

Need a mansion to house the good stuff and a warehouse for the empties. What to do with MASSIVE Empties. Just those silly big few. I keep all the normal ones.

Thanks

That's exactly what I did. I usually keep all my boxes, but no way I would place that GIGANTIC, bed sized box in storage. Besides, the box came pretty beated up, almost fallen apart, so one more excuse to trow it away.
Grats!

Not yet. It is still in the same position as seen in the pictures I had posted before.
