That must be your face in ur avatar. Carry 3 by urself! Can post us ur modded instructions for 1 weakling?

Can you give me a measurement on the unbuilt package height? I wanna see if it fits in the boot not.

And do they have White? I only saw Light Brown & Black. Also I heard they were once a promotion for the cabinets RM99 each, anyone know if they doing it again?

I also saw another display got 5 deck, it has something like metal door with locks, but dust gets in more easily due to the gaps. Anyone know how we can mod the Deltof to make it more dust proof? Also how you install lighting? Need drilling, cutting etc?

The cabinet does it come with wheels at bottom? I scare once build it cannot move it...

carry one by one to the designated area (use a trolley, 40kg++ is nothing..)...but build 3 in one go, faster with experience, I reckon I can build one in 10 minutes now...

Instructions.... my method for lonesome construction.. use at your own risk, I use my own terms (should be evident)


Or
just follow Ikea's instructions and get another able-body person to flip it over as instructed

You could install wheels (does not come with it) instead of the supplied legs... to your preference...

unbuilt in the cardboard box is about 162cm in height. Lowering the front passenger seat (to the back seats/boot), an average car should fit.

lights for it from Ikea cost about RM45 or so... you need some drilling or sturdy skrew driver.. (my opinion..totally not worth...led lights better)

here's where i put my collections..

Pretty big display cabinet for those small goodies.

Beast how you move your cabinet if it doesn't come with wheels?

40kg is pretty light... pushing force on the bottom wood board with the foot while hands supporting the glass sides... remove contains (+ glass selves).. slow and steady...

Won't you scratch the floor, the cabinet if you do that?

The plastic legs/stand on the Detolf are pretty smooth (not much traction)... besides I have ceramic and hard plastic composite floors (very resistant to scratches)...

jepun ada ikea one also ar old friend? i was inder the impression that the ikea 'look' fits their houses not?

btw i think assembling detolves single handedly is not for the faint hearted... those glass panes

Ikea... there are branches in the main Island of Honshu (entered Japan probably 2 years back).... The ones I bought are in good old North Borneo (with some price premium) and not by Ikea... Those are tempered glass... quite resistant to shock... but once break,... can shatter to a thousand pieces

I'm planning to have some customized arcylic display casing made as ready made casings are relatively expensive for big sizes but still can't figure out a standard size, hope you guys can give some ideas so in near future i might be able to have them built in bulk quantity if anybody interested. The reason I want arcylic casing is for "Double Protection", putting them in cabinet isn't good enough but putting them in casings inside a cabinate definately helps keep the dust out.

Right now am thinking of making casing for 12" Figures that can accomodate single or multiple figures. I want to standardize the size so it can accomodate most figures.

Casings for other stuffs will also be considered but right now i want to have somekind of standard on the dimensions.

Hi guys

Would like to share my Zoids collection from past to present

1st ZOIDS Cabinet
I started collecting Zoids back in May 2003 and got my 1st cab on November 2004. Dimension size: 6' x 4' x 1'





2nd Zoids Cabinet
as my collection grows, added a new cab. Dimension size: 6' x 4' x 1'



3rd Zoids Cabinet
This time it's wall-mounted. Dimension: 8.5' x 8.5' x 1'. With 16 adjustable shelves & 4 sliding door.






As my interest in Zoids dwindle, I sold some of the limited/exclusives items. Thus, the photos on the 3rd cabinet is not updated anymore.

I'm happy with my current collection, got the complete regular NJR's, NAR's (officially released), Genesis Zoids, 1/24 scale Zoids. I'm still hunting the last 4 Fuzor Zoids then I'm done

Cheers,
dri1

woohaa... what is that with blue legs wrap with plastic...

My god, it look more like a museum than a personal collection.

dri1 I though your collection on Chogokin probably the most complete in Malaysia. Yet you still have full collection of Zoids OMG what else you have there keeping a secret???

Added on February 10, 2009, 9:01 pmI'm curious how you got those Mazingers shipped over here? How did they manage to pack it and did the Custom hold the item?

This post has been edited by advocado: Feb 10 2009, 09:01 PM

Thanks advocado.

Hahahaha no more secrets! Only not shown on my post are my Wife & Kids TFs such as MPs, TFTM & TFA plus pokemons and McDonalds Happy Meal Toys. The display cabinet is in their room will take picture of it on my next holiday.

I'm not from Malaysia, I'm from the Philippines but employed there in Malaysia. Currently on Job assignment here in Vietnam.

The huge Mazingers, et al are manufactured in the Philippines for Japanese market only. Those statues posted above are backdoor version thus quite cheap when I got them. But the guy (Yexel) now selling it at US$1700/piece including shipping.

Btw, you still have the Aoshima Black Shin Getter 2? I'm interested can you PM me price + shipping cost to Saigon, Vietnam. Thanks.

dri1

So all your stuffs are in Philipines or Malaysia? Is it easy to get toys over there or you have to buy online and post.

Would be great if you can carry some giant mazingers over to malaysia in your next trip i will be interested in putting them infront of my house.

Ur wife collect transformers? Good on you. I assume you say just MP, TFTM & TFA plus pokemons and McDonalds Happy Meal Toys are actually another huge collection.

The Black Getter 2 was actually offered from a guy in Singapore asking me to sell them, the chogokins price were much lower than here but seems Malaysians are not that into Chogokins, so I gave up. You can try Singapore I'm still seeing Black Getters in Shops.
