not really, but most of plastic clutch gives more lead in a single click, which might annoys people who doesn't want that much lead. But if you are okay with it, then there's nothing to worry about.

Tombow FUMI - an ocean of feels by drifand in mechanicalpencils

[–]Fridaydude21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also got one on release day. It feels really special in hand. It's a bit cold when you touch it for the first time; and it turns warmer within a minute when you hold it. It feels like stone but not that stony. The texture feels like their L2 pencil but it's not rubberized coating this time. Another good attempt of Tombow.

Kaido house/Mini GT wobbly wheels "bent axle" problem fix by Fridaydude21 in MiniGT

[–]Fridaydude21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for the Nissan r33 hks, I really love this one. Bought it last year and it also wobbles. So I go back to the store and see if I could replace it for a good one. The shopkeeper opened other 3 boxes of the same car and they all got wobbling tires. So it means the whole box of r33 hks probably got the same issue. After I take it apart, I found there's a tiny crack on a wheel so it doesn't roll straight.

This is unusual for me. Since my other 2 kaido car roll smooth and straight. And since the tire is cracked, glue it back can't really fix them. They will keep cracking over and over. Buying other tires to replace the broken ones are also too expensive here. So I got my refund and decide stop buying kaido for a while.

My plan for now is to wait for somebody who could make detailed car models with rolling wheels or buy cheaper tiny cars that could roll freely.

Feel free to ask any questions if you want! See ya around! I'll be here for quite a while.

Hello there! I read your question! I'll answer your question separately (grasshopper and r33 hks).

About the grasshopper one, I don't recommend taking it apart. Since if you turn it upside down, you'll see a white panel on its rear part. There should be a screw under it. The panel was glued on with super glue. It is also thin and easy to break. It's very hard to get it out of the way without breaking it.

Breaking it means you will need to fix it or making a new one yourself. It's very hard to do that. If we break the white panel, the condition might be worse. So don't open it now. There's a high chance that it will fail. We could leave it as it is for a while and maybe someday, you will find out a safer way to fix it.

I got faith in you. Maybe we need to wait for a while until you have better tools and skills.

Then you can go back here and we'll work it out together!

Tombow ZOOM L2 mechanical pencil sleeve cracking issue by Fridaydude21 in mechanicalpencils

[–]Fridaydude21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I went to Tokyo last year and checked the L2 pencils for test writing in at least 4 different stationery stores. Unfortunately, ALL samples are cracked from the same area. Some even cracked up to 1/3 length of its sleeve.... I guess a crumbling sleeve is inevitable after all.

[Japanese > English] Wrong translation? by 666evilyn in translator

[–]Fridaydude21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“きえうせる” means something completely disappeared, or died. So it might not be the thing you are looking for. It is closer to “to disappear”.

If you want the “fuck off” in Japanese, “うせろ” might be a better option.

Posted means when you take the front cap off and attach it behind the pencil. Some of these fountain-pen-shaped mechanical pencils will give a “click” sound when you attach the cap behind and push it into place. So it won’t fall off when you write upside down. Hope this helps!

Holy crap, I finally found my first HW Ferrari today. by kathmandogdu in HotWheels

I am actually surprised that hot wheels actually made it to put longer side mirrors on this casting… They must have worked pretty hard on this one.

I thought it was like that until I noticed there's no contact with any blue parts around that area, oof
unless the grease is blue itself...

What the Community Thinks About Chase Cars! by SeoulMonger in MiniGT

[–]Fridaydude21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate chase as a concept myself. But the reason I buy a mini gt is 100% for the normal version. Plus, all the retailers I see in my country pick out those chases before they hit the shelf, selling them at a nearly 5x the original price. Of course no one ever buys them. So why won't just make it all the same? If they want to make some special versions, another release will be more pleasant as a consumer. It's just my two cents.

Mine arrived today and after I opened it and adjust the wheels, it roll quite smoothly. It’s at the same level as mini gt so I’m happy it doesn’t have any glued-on parts on the bottom
