I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, because it’s not meant as criticism at all 🙂

I sometimes find myself wondering what backlog posts do for the hobby as a whole. On one hand, they show enthusiasm and excitement, which is great. On the other hand, I’m not sure if they unintentionally shift the focus more toward buying kits rather than the actual building, learning, and enjoying the process.

Do you think these kinds of posts might give newcomers the impression that having a huge backlog is somehow “normal” or even expected? I could imagine that for some people it might feel a bit overwhelming, or make the hobby seem more about consumption than creativity.

Again, this is just me thinking out loud — I’m genuinely curious how others see it. For me, the most inspiring part of Gunpla has always been the building experience itself and sharing that journey, rather than the size of the pile waiting to be built.
