>>9639069>I have gunpla and RDs, but I am in my 40s now, and I am going to sound lazy as hell saying this, but I just dont have the time to put kits together now, and even when I do put them together, they do not look as finished as an RD.Oh man, are you me? Haha, that's pretty much exactly how I feel. I also started out my mecha merchandise interest going from military models to gunpla. When I built models, I always wanted things to look perfect, so I'd spend so much time getting things just right. Now, just the thought of cleaning nubs and sprue marks makes my fingertips hurt, haha. Sure, RDs can have some bad nub marks, but they don't bother me so much because it's not my fault. On the other hand if something looked wrong on a model I built, oh man it would drive me crazy.
>>9641509>>9641609If it's any extra consolation, I preordered my Perfect Zeong from Nippon-Yasan... So dumb, I should have known better, but I had a 10% off coupon from points I saved up and wanted to use it. Had several other things in the order to really leverage that coupon (Nuenen Bitter's Zaku, DX VF-31AX, etc.) and of course I didn't receive any of it.
Fortunately I got it all charged back when NY's website went down, but I had passed on other opportunities to preorder this stuff and now it's a struggle or severe late-tax to get this stuff post-release.
