I'm a bit of a tryhard thoughand even bought a 7-sided nail file, but it's only because I find filing down the nubs and making it smooth n shiny very satisfying. I want to get into Legos, but I don't have the room for it. Someday when I get my own place I'd love to have a ton of different hobby kits and action figures and other cool toys posed up around where I live!
