Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Suit-Up Gantry with and w/o Mk IV

[Username]

Looks amazing. Definitely going to grab those.

thanks for the find on these lights, too bad I didn't know these where at Ikea when I went to get my Detolfs or I would have picked some up, its a 6 hour drive to the nearest store

If you check Ebay, there might be someone selling them.
There are people who make a good living by selling Ikea items online cheaper than Ikea does when accounting for Ikea's ludicrous shipping charges(The beauty is that they don't even need to buy them till *you* make a purchase if they live close enough to the store).
I will say that i don't like the wires to be *too* noticeable in mine, so i took the time to cable tie them away and run them down the frame. I see so many untidy detolfs on display, and it would subtract from my own enjoyment of mine to have cables running to and fro in my vision.
Here is how they are routed in one of my detolfs(Zuckuss hides the cables on the bottom in one, and the Dalek prison hides them in the other one...), and i have recently replaced the blu tack i used to cushion the glass shelves with those foam pads to stop furniture from scuffing, as i was sick of my detolf creaking when i walked past. Now the entire thing is tight and squeak free...

Nothing to see here... Move along...

I was thinking of doing what you mentioned.

If users are interested in a couple of these, I don't mind picking some up for users and shipping them myself to you guys since I know Ikea charges more than the price of the product itself sometimes to simply have it shipped.
I might make a drive down to my Ikea next weekend or so.

Keep in mind it won't be a free shipping service or anything considering I need to drive myself down there and pay for gas for the travel but I'll see what I can do.

Got the gantry shipping to me now. Supposed to be here Tuesday!

Have you seen the strip light Dioder sets?
I have two sets per detolf for my setup and it provides a LOT of light and not much heat. They are £20 apiece(So i have £80 worth of them across two Detolfs), but they are well worth the price and the time it takes to fit them neatly. I drilled holed in the base and all the extra cables are carefully cable tied down the frames and hidden underneath the detolfs.

What an awesome display/collection!!!

Thanks.
It's nothing compared to most of the guys on the forum here.

Bought the Gantry + Mark VI for $500 from a fellow freak.

Figure I'll see what it looks like in person and if it's not my cup of tea, I'll resell it here to another freak.

I'm thinking of selling the Mark VI I have now and keep the Mark VI that comes with the Gantry set. I have yet to put up a FS topic on the forums but if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

Congrats. Great price. And you mean Mark IV right?

Yes I meant Mark IV. I'm constantly confusing the two.

I hardly have any space for the Mark suits I have now but we will see. Will have to sell a Mark IV though. No point in keeping two.

You've got a one-of-a-kind set if you're Gantry came with a Mark VI.

I really did not want to buy it.

But I saw it for $500 and I knew it was the lowest it goes so I took the plunge. Will be selling my IM2 Mark IV in exchange for it.

Wallet took a beating.

Yeah, these things aren't cheap, but damn do they look good on a shelf.

Congrats bro and looking forward to some pics.

I think i will just get the stand alone gantry. Already have a mkiv. I have this thing about buying things twice. I just cant do it.

Yup. That's why I was on the fence about buying the Gantry + IV but the deal was there so I took it. Anyways, I should be getting mine this week or early next. If I end up not liking it and plan on selling the gantry, I will let you know, provided you don't have one by then.

If you look at my old posts you will see I tried to used points. But sccd hit and it sold out out. SSC had one with free shipping. It was the last one.

My rule is if I want it. Buy it. I am not going to waste trying to save you. $10.00.

Purchased at $450, coming in a few days. Bought two, one for me and one for a friend i'll probably sell the Gantry (way too big for me, I'm into statues now)
