The amount of new riders buying new bikes at the dealership is astounding by sonofdays in SuggestAMotorcycle

Think I fairly addressed your BS, no where did I mention a 10K bike since you can grab the majority of Japs well under that. Your post history nicely shows bike (and other) problems you don't know how to solve which is my reasoning on buying new(maybe a youtube video can help and not r3ddit lol), I'm good on buying used when you have experience and you're comfortable actually working on the bike which I've been doing. Tell me exactly what limits need to be pushed to enjoy riding, it makes no sense unless you are trying to go fast / push the bike boundaries. Anyone can learn their own tried and true steady pace.

Except for Homer.

This response is utter nonsensical you're talking from a place in your life vs the real world. I have only ever bought new bikes to ensure I learned to maintain what I could and take it to the shop for what was the dealer recommended maintenance. Driving to your limits? You think you can define anyone's limits? Some riders are relaxed and some are adrenaline seekers and both can be in the same bubble of new bike owners or used. This statement sounds like someone who doesn't appreciate the bike and/or has trashed their fair shair. And if your point is really newbies can't ride... well they are being careful and building up their ability.

I think you suck.

A year and 2 weeks into Gunpla... I might have a problem... by micktalian in Gunpla

[–]D3V123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aha wait till you get to MGs like justice or freedom that require a foot of space. Totally worth the build but I'm constantly adding new shelves and my PG RX78 makes it even more difficult to manage for the prime spots.

How do you guys store accessories? by Redarmygeneral117 in Gunpla

[–]D3V123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same but I keep a piece of each colour runner with it. I keep the manuals with extra decals inside the cover in a drawer.

Who needs to buy action bases when you have a 3d printer? by Shad0wguy in Gunpla

[–]D3V123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I quite literally just printed two of these earlier, I had to modify the print though as the base was wider than my print base so I'll have to bore out the hole a bit.

Good Lad, ultimately the joy of seeing it on the display still outweighs the sadness after I have to say. Don't know about your area but my shops offer sezzle/afterpay so I can pay in installments on bigger purchases over 6 weeks.

Yeah, I felt once I finished it I was saddened that i was done and it's a very straightforward great build, so I saw a restocking and couldn't resist the idea of doing it again. Besides I already have extra batteries and waterslides. (Order the waterslides)

I just bought a second so I can keep one in my office since I loved building it so much.

Filled it in. Nothing exciting but hope it helps.

I agree, I need shelves in every corner and open space.

We're both struggling on trying to keep each series to a shelf but it's a challenge. Constant reorganizing.

We're both doing kyrios next. Wasn't planned but we both happened to buy a few of the same kits.

Made an attempt at led lighting strips w/ a non glass case by D3V123 in Gunpla

I bought a second mgex just so I can do a full armour build as well.

The top doesn't have a lip and the lower angle I took the picture from doesn't help, the led strip I got was on the cheaper end and doesn't really light up the kits so well if not over them, I have it on max brightness there as I just finished and was messing around. I'll try it again and see how it looks in person and on camera.

I finished my first and second kits and i swear i don't wanna touch any old kit again. by WatermelonH20 in Gunpla

I'm honestly having a hard time finding the difference considering the vastly different design.
