Wow! Double Q (Quality and Quantity) collection you have Alan! When is the grand opening of your museum again? ;p
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Man, you are a prop buying machine Alan.

I always look here every morning to see your latest arrival!
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Amazing! I don't know which item I want more! So, your street address is...?
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

I think that Alan is not actually into props he's just addicted to bubble wrap and needs an excuse for a daily delivery :)

Yet another nice addition to the collection.
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Alan, I know I've said this before, but your collection is just amazing. Truly fantastic stuff!

How did you hang the cane on the wall?
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I truly enjoy sharing them with you :) :thumbsup

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Your collection continues to amaze me. I can't wait to move out of my tiny apartment and into a house so I have a whole room to work with instead of a tiny wall.
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

Thanks guys :)

You know what I am missing ? One of those Nikes currently on sale.

I have a meeting with the IMF today to arrange a loan for a pair, so gotta rush. ta ta.



:lol
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF

With your skills it there not a close set that you could mod for cheaper than the new ones ? (I know nothing about the shoes so this may be a silly idea)

Oh don't worry about me Alric. I'm just fine with what I have :) . That's what I was trying to portray over in the shoe thread. But more on that later.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


Anyway, 2 nice arrivals this morning.


First, Markpoon's Nazi Coin from X-Men First Class (pic in low lighting)

And both are now set in the frame made by The Collector. (see, I can refrain from framing every now and then. I didn't make this one :lol)

When I ordered the frame from The Collector, I got a message some time after, quite a concerned one at that, advising me that due to a mix-up with the addresses, my frame had somehow ended up with someone else in France :lol.

I did literally crack up laughing, and told him not to worry in the least, as this kind of thing doesn't either surprise or bother me. Paddy told me he was going to send me a few film clips as his appreciation.

However, I was NOT expecting to get something like THIS included with my frame when it eventually arrived :eek

Paddy, you really didn't have to mate ! I am amazed by your gentlemanly manner :) :) :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

And here they are side by side

Also in today, straight from Jennifer's kitchen in BTTF 2, this great Pizza Hut dehydrated pizza, made by Darksidemodels, the talented ***** and Fernando :)

Thank you Paddy, they are a fenomenal addition to my humble collection :) :thumbsup
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF & why I will never buy a Nike McF

First of all, let me put this into context with three facts. It's a little hard to explain what I am feeling at this very moment, so please have patience with me.

1 - I have been eyeing Markpoon's Nike McFlys for ages and ages, as well as Pitbull's marvellous conversions.

However, for some reason or another I still cannot fully comprehend, I never took the plunge.


2 - As you have noticed from many of the items I have in my collection, I add what catches my eye. It can be half the size of the original prop, be off in the details as much as it wants to, etc. As I have the habit of saying, so long as something screams out to me, I'm happy. I'm in this for the fun :)


3 - I live thousands of miles away from where 99.9% of props (and their subsequent replicas), originate from. Collectors on this rock are non-existant. The closest to any kind of *con* I can ever hope to go to is, well, come to think of it, there is nothing close at all.


Having said that, life has a funny way of evolving and giving you a massive chins up every once in a while :)

When Nike came out with the launch of their new McFlys a few days ago, I had already bought a pair of McFlys from Brad (Jedifyfe).

My first thought when I heard of the new Nikes was "cool, but no thanks", even if they were within my price bracket (which they aren't).

And here's why.

The pair of McFlys I got from Brad have something Nike's shoes don't : Character.

To me, that supercedes ANY officiality / accuracy / coolness etc etc etc that the Nike McFlys have.

To start off with, these shoes are the result of years of anticipation by alot of fans, including many here on the RPF.

They flew from Singapore, from where Markpoon was the first person to ever make these available, right into Brad's hands.

From there, Brad modified these to include working lights on the heels, using nothing but a hobby knife, some LEDS and a soldering iron, as well as giving the soles a paint job overhaul.

As if that were not enough, these shoes actually 'sat' in a real Delorian replica, and then went into the hands of Christopher Lloyd, who autographed them in a very inconspicuous place on the inner side, thus not 'ruining' the look of the shoes with some scribble across the outside.

As far as I am aware, these are the only pair of McFlys to ever be signed by Christopher Lloyd.

Now, if that is not character, I don't know what is. Made by fans, for fans.

All I can say is that when these arrived this morning, I really had to hold the tears of joy back.

Sure, all this can be achieved by many people in the US. But I'm here, not there.

And that is why I will never buy one of those new McFlys, even if they go down in price to within my range.

I am happy with these, and will not change or compare them for and to anything.

OK, enough ranting and expressions of joy, but I really wanted to share what has been going through my mind :)

Some may think I'm nuts because of the way I reason, but hey, that me. I hope to have at least managed to explain myself a teeny weenie bit, and just wanted to share this with you guys.

I am happy with what I have :)

Brad, thanks man, you're the only person who ALMOST made me cry like in the past 2 decades :lol

Wow....
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF & why I will never buy a Nike McF

That, Alan, was very touching! And no, you aren't nuts because we all have our nit picks about our own props :) I'll add that I think your Mags hold more value because they have more history than the ones that are being auctioned. I know all their money is going tonthe foundation and all, but yes your pair has made quite a journey! Congrats on the new addition. BTW i love the little pizza!!
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF & why I will never buy a Nike McF

Yet another nice addition and it looks very close to the comparisiopn shot at well.

Have you added his Calvin Klines to the collection as yet :)

Fair enough, but I hope you do consider buying the 2015 Mags if they do get released with power laces.

Fabulous collection Alan and it was good to read about the history along with your personal value and attachment with those shoes.
 
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - BTTF & why I will never buy a Nike McF

Thanks for sharing in this with me guys :)

No Alric, this is where I draw the line in clothing :lol

And on that note, Vivec, although I cannot guarntee with absolute certainty what I may do by time power laces come along (I'd probably need to peer at the pics through bi-focals by then :lol), I'm not into costuming at all and would never wear them anyway.

For the novelty, perhaps.

On par with these, never :thumbsup
