    Thanks my friend! Going A/C was out of sheer necessity for me, as I was burning through batteries like crazy. I had originally given each figure a battery pack that would respond to remote control. Unbeknownst to me at the time was that the battery packs were still slowly draining the batteries to keep the sensors active to the remote. In 2 weeks time, every battery in my collection was drained. (I hope that makes sense!)

    Here are some old pics of the office from its humble beginnings to now. The collection has grown a fair bit since last year; I'm due for another collection pic/video, but I've got a number incomplete figures still on the operating table. Hopefully will get there soon!

    I reckon you could power the eastern seaboard with the number of batteries that must be in those shelves!

    But that's the beauty, they're all wired up to his house electricity supply through an electrical powerpoint, not running on batteries!! It's amazing! He's modified every figure to include light up eyes, weapons effects etc and run them all off mains power.

    Holy moly!!! I've always loved your work mate, but this is just the next level!! Your collection is glorious!! The battle scene with the Dinobots and Devastator is spectacular. My daughter is sitting here asking if we can do that with our collection. I'd love to start doing it but I can't imagine the time and effort.
    Well done!!

    Well, I just checked on my order and it was shipped on the 20th from Show.Z. Now the waiting begins, er... began, ...2 days ago...

    Anyhow, I'll report in when I get it, if no one else posts before me. It's the purple led English version, for those keeping track, and I'm excited for it! Even after watching those vids, the small mods to the back plate ain't that bad, looks to be an easy mod.

    Hmm I preordered this a while ago. I can’t say I’m too happy with what we see so far. Non-fitting back panel, and purple switch on canon...:(

    Thanks everyone! I'm a pretty big-time multi-tasker; I tend to utilize all 8 monitors when I'm working. When I'm writing a church sermon for instance, I'll have separate windows for: PowerPoint, Word, Bibleworks, Photoshop, 2 for Chrome, one for windows/folders, etc. I also have windows almost always open for organizing apps (e.g. Wunderlist, Slack, Gmail, etc.).

    I might have a video playing on one of them while I'm working; on the odd occasion, I might put on a movie on multiple (usually 2), but sometimes all 8 if I'm eating dinner or something, haha!

    Well, I just got mine. The sound quality isn’t great, but not horrible either. As expected, the back panel doesn’t fit on MP-36. I also have a QC issue on mine. The battery compartment doesn’t hold the batteries in tightly enough. The sound won’t work unless I’m pressing on the batteries with my fingers. I basically stuffed a bit of bubble wrap inside the compartment and jammed it closed and now it works.

    I really wish that the switch was red and not purple though.

    I think if I tried to do that my computer would burst into flames and die! :)  Do you need like three graphics cards for that, or is it normal these days?

    I'm using the Nvidia NVS 810 graphics card; it has 8 outputs from a single card and it plays 4K video flawlessly across all 8 monitors. . I *really* love this card, but it does cost a bit of pocket change!
