Awesome to see the under appreciated bee getting the completist treatment. Its funny but I thought u were complete ages ago.

I think I'm pretty complete on production bees with a few exceptions. I'm looking for teh Yellowjackets (w/exception of Usugrow which I have), Regular Usugrow, Golden Week golden bee and strangely enough a couple of recent releases. Unlike you Mark though - I never see the ones I'm after lurking at Mandarake

I also dont have those sparkly clear protos you hvae Mark - but I dont count those as regular releases - but that a good thing otherwise you'd never be complete either

I don't have all the Yellowjackets either! I only have the one, but I wouldn't count them as regular releases either.
I think I have a few protos and variants to make the ones I'm missing not hurt as much.

Got the skullmerry in today.

I only have two Bees and they're both on your list. We'll have to do another epic trade someday.

Got my shelf and lights in order finally. This is my set up as of today. Still relatively small, but steadily growing. Thanks to everyone that has helped me get to this point, especially Mark and Hank.


My L.E.D. light collection and some toys. 





This is what my dog thinks about all this.

Cool looking case.
I always like how colorful toys are against a black background.
But damn, you have quite a few lights in there.

Yeah there are a lot of lights in there. They're just cheap push led lights that I got in bulk. I didn't know what else to do with the left overs so I just stuck all 12 on there. When you're standing in front of the case you can't really see them but once I took the pictures it looks kind of wild. I might just take some of them down after a bit.

Nice setup Aldo!

Very nice set up, Aldo. But it's the Boston that really pulled on my heart strings. So cute.

Aldo, you didn't just go buy a new camera did you? The last set of photos are much clearer

my boston is the same way when i'm staring at or playing with the toys... i imagine her saying 'aren't i enough of a monster for you?'

great looking dog btw... your collection isn't anything to sneeze at either.

Haha no, I wish. I just borrowed a camera from one of the guys at the shop.







Thanks! My dog is pretty much a brat. He was napping on the couch and I guess I woke him up from his beauty sleep while taking pictures and he just looked up, gave me a few dirty looks and went back to sleep.

My daughter wouldn't give this skullwing back to me for 2 hours, she saw me pull it out from one of my moving boxes and got really excited about it, already an SB fan, now I just got to track down some of those wash cloths for her bath time hahahaha

One of my favorite pieces. I've had him a couple times before, but his teeth always had paint chips. I found this beauty in perfect condition last weekend and I'm not sure if I ever noticed the SB print on his shorts before? LOVE him

Dude, the Mantis is one of my favorite SB sculpts. I only own one Mantis and one Mad Mantis and they're awesome. So bulky and tough looking. It seems like no one really cares for them. The one I picked up, I picked up for only $15! Definitely a great figure. I plan on owning that one and hopefully all the others as well one day.

Both Mantii sculpts are great! But early on I decided I'd only collect 'Brains. Though I'm getting close on having all the 'Brains that I want...might eventually add a second sculpt and it'd either be Obake or Mantis/Mad Mantis.

Now is a great time to pick up obakes. Pieces I paid 75+ for when I first started getting them are sitting in bst for 35 bucks. The mantis was never a fan favorite it seems but I've always loved him.

I know we have seen the Bagman side of Secret Base/Balzac So here is the skullman side. (please pardon the few Medicom's that made thier way into the pictures.









and a few others...

^^^^^



damn. that's quite a collection you have there. really dig the organization and layout.

sickness!

Very nice TJ! I'm not a fan of custom toys at all but that PK merry is super sharp. Great collection all around.

I'm in the same boat, i usually hate customs but loved the look of the other PK's done in the same style so i had to get one to fit my collection.

Aldo and TJ - killer collections!

TJ - I am digging the total bagness of your setup!

Holy Crap! Incredible!

One of the best Balzac collections around!
So many great pieces and the layout is great!

Looks great T.J. A few pieces in there I need.
