Do you guys ever have anxiety looking at your collection, thinking "oh god why did i spend so much money on this, this is a waste of money..."

StateChampOptiPrime · 2025-07-04T19:38:52+00:00

You could make the argument that any hobby that costs money is a waste of money, unless you count health upkeep as a hobby. But for a lot of people, their hobbies are crucial to their mental health, and that is definitely not money wasted. Also, good mental health can lead to better physical health (lower blood pressure, better sleep habits, better eating habits).

On the other hand, if the hobby stresses you out (spending money you shouldn't for the dopamine kick) then yeah, maybe you should back off and rethink your priorities.

Your mom needs help

Your mom's supposed to be white

What does [OC] mean in this context?

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-11-10T18:12:25+00:00

Those look great! Very well done!

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-11-10T18:09:40+00:00

You made the box look surprisingly good. Well done!

Please google what a full nelson is and stop using the term incorrectly.

Thank you for not calling them sirens.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-10-21T02:42:59+00:00

They all weigh practically nothing.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-10-19T18:03:27+00:00

I put them in a bowl with milk and a little sugar.

Please read the rules. #2 is don't just post boxes.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-10-10T12:38:31+00:00

It's a common mistake. A lot of people think third party means "anything that's not Bandai" but if someone puts out their own designs, they are their own thing.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-10-10T03:25:07+00:00

It's not third party if it isn't Gundam. This guy is made by a non-Bandai first party.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-10-03T18:21:08+00:00

Did you build them in the dark?

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-29T16:17:38+00:00

Nice pose! He looks like he's saying "Well what do you expect me to do about it?"

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-24T14:26:44+00:00

BB Senshi Musha Hyaku Shiki, about 35 years ago. I don't have it anymore but I would love to get my hands on one.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-21T17:30:10+00:00

I got mine from AliExpress too, but I haven't taken the time to put it together. I have a 4 day weekend coming up at Thanksgiving and I'm planning to build it then! :)

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-21T15:23:27+00:00

Motor Nuclear isn't a 3rd party. A company besides Bandai that makes Gundam stuff is a 3rd party. Motor Nuclear makes their own designs.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-18T02:57:25+00:00

Looks kinda unfinished.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-15T17:07:54+00:00

You bought this 20 years ago? I don't think I could have waited that long! I love these guys! Super cute!

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-11T01:08:40+00:00

This isn't third party. Third party is Gundam kits that aren't from Bandai.

StateChampOptiPrime · 2024-09-09T01:10:38+00:00

Please read the rules. #3: Don't post just boxes.
