Update: One year after buying this, I noticed that there was some visible dust forming already on the glass shelves. Guess nothing is really perfect in this world. At least compared to my leaving them on an open shelf where they’ll get dusty after just a few days, this is still a good option.

Its been 5 months since I decided to have a $90 display case fabricated to place my toys & model kit collection in and I have to say that it was a worthy investment. The fabricator gave me the option of a cabinet door type or a sliding door type. I chose the sliding door type so as to save space and so that I can easily lock it. Turns out that that was a good option to take for me.

Update: English Translation of the manual can be found here, took a while to finish for me *snicker*

I’m starting August on a good note with this, a 1/60 VF-1A Valkyrie Mass Production version by Yamato Toys. Got this from from HobbyLink Japan. This is the workhorse Variable Fighter of the UN Spacy that was produced in massive numbers as seen in the SDF Macross Anime that came out in the 80’s.

Was excited by the news this July that Bandai was doing a version 2 of the DX Chogokin 1/60 VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie of Alto Saotome that originally came out in December 2008. The version 2 is scheduled to be released by October of this year, pre-order had already started in some online hobby shops based in Japan.

HobbyLink Japan once again announced a massive sale on related Gundam goods and merchandise. Not limited to just model kits from Bandai but includes toys, apparel and other Gundam related items from various makers as well. Sale ends on July 12, 2011 at 6 PM Japan standard time.
