>b-but they're easy! they have instructions!
And RG/MG/PG kits are also full of more tiny moving parts and require more meta knowledge beyond the fucking instructions to put together. If someone's new and doesn't know how to clean nubs properly or doesn't have the experience to know which tiny protrusions are actual nubs or an important connecting part that needs to stay on and not be snipped off they can fuck up their whole kit and throw away 30+ bucks because everyone told them it was like Legos.
You're not being called tryhards for thinking RGs are easy, you're being called tryhards because you want to look cool instead of stopping and thinking about what's being recommended to people that might have no idea what tools and methods are needed for models outside of the basic snapping.
Not only should someone start cheap so they don't waste their money and learn how to remove nubs properly, but I'd even argue that using shit like Tamiya cement should be a basic skill learned before putting together RGs and MGs and shit because even the well-engineered kits will have pieces that are easy to pop off while posing and building and shit.
