So I have pretty much been doing nothing but ordering and building gunpla kits and frame arms girls stuff during the quarantine. What have you guys been up to.
>>8179734Fortunately, a friend with a 3d printer offered to make the hand armature outta the blue. We're still perfecting the design
>>8179747How's the 3D-printed plastic handling the interface with the, brass? And that's really cool of your friend!
>>8183394All of the brass parts are getting replaced with this filament >https://atomicfilament.com/products/carbon-fiber-black-petg-pro
working out, making money, learning a new language, maintaining musical skills, cooking, etc. You know, productive hobbies that'll get me money and pussy. not some faggot hobby like making premade action figures where u pluck out tiny pieces with ur tiny boy hands and pretend like u actiually made the thing simply cuz u used "tools" to make ur "plamo" or whetever that fagg shit toy is. kys, incel.

I don't give a fuck about the things that I have, I just want everything that I like, for example my dream was a Koto DMG, and I have her since the past year, and I don't even care about her, I just wanted Ms Marvel from Bishoujo and I have her and I don't care about her I want Figma Void, and if I buy him, I know that I'll forget about him in 1 week or less, I'll want something like PAK Wonder woman, and if I buy her, I'll want Hot Toys Alita, and etc etc etc>DUDE JUST BUY ONE PER MONTH!I can't because every fucking figure is scalped after 1 month or less, so I need to buy everything, and my life is miserable as fuck, I don't even enjoy them, I need them, this shit is worse than drugs, and more expensive and dangerous for my mental health, because now I'm depressed 24/7 thinking about how fucking much will cost Revo Harley Quinn tomorrow, scalped as fuck like everything that I want
>>8183924hey man can I be your trap slave? I just need enough to live and buy 1 toy every week.
>>8175739Came to say this. I know a few /toy/ collectors who just get that dopamine hit when the latest purchase comes in the mail, then they put the box in a big storage box and look forward to the next one. Are you buying toys you really want? Or just buying because "oh this one looks cool" and you'll never even take it out of the box? We live in a consumer culture where everyone has to show off their collection of junk for upvotes and youtube clicks, its not healthy.
>>8183924>I make 30k a month
>>8175715Toys aren't the source of your problems, you leaning too far on materialism is because other aspects of your life are out of whack. Where are you spiritually, philosophically? Are you making personal progress or avoiding thinking about anything by consooming?
>>8183430no one asked

>>8186994What, you don't like furry RPs and personal drama from complete strangers with brain damage?
>>8186990>Whew lad, sounds like typical Discord drama to me. Hard pass!Unfortunately yes, which is the really sad part about the unofficial server, the Better Brikwars Bureau.See, Asian Education Mama's Boy Colette, having little socialization outside of Brikwars and Model UN, came up with super robust procedural guidelines specifically to prevent the flagrant abuses of moderator power the Goderator often doled out, only for the wannabe /b/tard who started the server to hand over complete control to one of his /b/tard friends...Colette and others went back to the Goderators server, only for said Goderator to throw him out of both Discord AND Forums because the insensitive little shit didn't care about the gender issues of one of the Goderators friends...

Tamagotchi/Virtual Pet thread. Tamagotchi On/Meets owners, what was the best genetic mix you ever got? I’m curious as to who I should try and marry.
>>8183767why not demand a stateside release?
I got a blue, starry eyes Lovelitchi in an Alice dress
>>8183768Because we did the same thing when the Eevee Tama was announced and still didn't get it. Why would it work this time?
Anyone want his genes before I move on to the next gen?

Hey guys. I have a 1968 hot wheels collectors case With 12 1967- 1968 hot wheels cars in it. They are intact and I was wondering what the price Is that these cars are going for these days. My guess is probably 10 to 15 bucks per car? I’m not really good at this kind of thing and could use some help.
>>8185860Oh shit, original redlines, huh?!Post pictures of each of them please! Bottoms and tops
Here’s one of them. Not the brown woody 31’ sadly
>>8185860Price depends on each model.
>>8186144Pretty good condition! This anon is right >>8186704. If you really want to know prices for what you got. Check Ebay or Facebook redline groups. Warning though: DO NOT accept any offers before you really are sure of all prices. Hot Wheels collectors can be the worst scum when it comes to ripping off people. And Redlines seem to make collectors go crazy.
Research each and every one of them. Even the slightest variation can mean hundreds of dollars for og redlines.

So I had a package coming from Amiami that was going to have 40 dollars shipping with DHL, and I thought to add a figma to that since it shouldn't affect box size so much.Well I added it, and it bumped shipping from 40 dollars to 150 dollars? So then I took the figma box out thinking maybe it was a misunderstanding and the shipping for the original package is STILL 150 dollars? Is there anything I could do to fix this? I'm contemplating just getting EMS so that I don't pay out the ass, I know it won't arrive until Japan post reopens but that's better than getting what should have been 140 dollars for 250 dollars.
>>8185603I use DHL on Amazon Japan (You really don't have a choice)and they must have special pricing thru Amazon cause they're no more expensive than EMS that I've paid elsewhere.
>>8185244lolwut?
>>8185244pre-orders exist, are you retarded?
>>8185120OP back again for the final time, doing this ended up working, thanks for suggesting it

Hello, I'm looking for a 6-7 inch figure with all black suit body. Doesn't have to be 1/12 scale exactly, but within its range.What are my options, besides obvious John Wick? I mean it looks good, but it's fucking expensive even used, and you can only get it used these days, and I don't give two shits about Keanu Reeves, which is probably the main reason for its price.
>>8186659It's some sort of alien disguised as a cat that's been put in restraints. But look, you're going to have to put in a little bit of work to get what you want. It's called customizing and quite a few people do it. I've written up a series of beginner guides that may help explain the process because if you just grab random paint and a figure, don't do any prep work or homework on the brands/reactions between enamel and acrylic, you'll end up wasting your money and destroying your figure. http://jinsaotomesdangeroustoys.com/guides.html
>>8186688Here's a step by step of the absolute bare bones basics you'll need to do.Buy the Agent Fury. If your character isn't a black guy then find a ML in your collection or buy one with Caucasian hands (Starlord for trigger hands, Master of Kung Fu guy that's everywhere for the best selection of multiple hand sets) Buy flat black Testors Model Master acrylic at Hobby Lobby. Buy Vallejo skin tone, peach, whatever color matched those hands. Take the jacket off fury, pop head and hands off. Wash entire figure with warm soapy water and let dry. Add a little bit of water to the Testors black because it's usually too thick right out of the jar. Use multiple thin coats to cover the white shirt. A hairdryer cures the paint faster between coats. Paint the neck, again multiple thin coats.If you want to actually get into repainting figures then invest in a can of Duplicolor adhesion promoter or Bulldog adhesion Promoter sprays, found in the automotive paint dept of O'Reilleys and sometimes Walmart/AutoZone. That spray makes a molecular bridge between plastic and literally any other type of paint allowing you to use cheaper craft paints and Games Workshop paints on bare Marvel Legends once you put the primer down. The primer is clear to boot. Sealing your figure requires some thinned down Liquitex archival acrylic varnish found at Michael's Crafts/Hobby Lobby or Vallejo, but you don't get a lot in Vallejo, tho the individual bottle is cheaper than the larger bottle of Liquitex. Customizing is fun but any good result requires effort, money, and patience. You won't want to look at your custom character that has fingerprints in thick paint that's wearing off the edges every time you pose it for very long and will grow to resent what you've done. A lot of customizers lose their way because their first attempt turns them off to the hobby, but only because they just jumped into it without planning. Done be that guy. Take your time, read some guides.
>>8186706Nobody asked for this exposition on customizing figures you fag
>>8186706Do you realize that you're actually pushing me towards ordering chinise bootleg?Apart from terrible head, that I'm going to remove anyway, and bowed legs, that are most likely easier to fix, than to paint shit, he doesn't look any worse than ML figure.
>>8186755Go for it, I use parts of bootlegs all the time in my customs. Only you know how much effort you're willing to put into getting the figure you want. Some people also don't have the steady hands to paint sma detail or a Dremel tool to remove plastic from inside a head to make it fit on another ball. You may need to drill holes and use screws to make other hands fit. Where do you get those screws from tho? What's an engraving bit and why won't this enamel paint dry on my figure? Making a custom figure is a process, a hobby, it's rarely a quick fix unless the stars align and your head fits on another neck peg magically and the legs of an old fig just happen to match the sheen of paint to the new body.
Let's post some dioramas.Doesn't matter what scale or theme, I'm just looking for some cool setups.

>>8188671Beggars can't be choosers
>>8188681>>8188691Fine. My point was, most non-mainstream planes, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent kit for that isnt made by some shady no-name company with the quality of a toddler's first scale model. My favorite plane is the f-15STOL/MTD with the 2d nozzles and that doesnt exist in 1/72 or bigger, so maybe that's why I'm so bitter. There are a lot of interesting planes I'd like to build if only they didnt have only one super low quality kit in existence, like the Leduc ramjet, the XFV-12a, the canard F4 or even the bowing bird of prey. Its a far cry from the tank scene, where every napkin drawing has their own model, and every tiger ever built has their own high-quality model.
>>8188696Yes.There are many examples of things which do not have kits. My cat for example.There IS a kit of the F-16XLDon't feel defensive and double down >>8188671 if you're caught out in an indefensible position like this, just lie and say you didn't know there was a kit and we can all move on :)>There are a lot of interesting planes I'd like to build if only they didnt have only one super low quality kit in existenceIn essence you're lamenting that it's not easy to build the things you want because no one wants what you want. Well I think your only option is to get good at casting and scratch building, then you can build whatever you want.
