Do you guys ever worry that you are becoming less creative with your toys as you get older and that they are becoming less worthwhile because you can't play with them as effectively?
Every year on my birthday I ask for a cheap spiderman action figure as a 'joke' gift. I also ask for 1 random household item to be packaged along with the spiderman. I then try to play with them and create a story based on the playing that I do with the two objects.
Picture 1 is the story I created 5 years ago
Picture 2 is the story from this year.
Apologies for the fonts being ugly, I just typed these up for the thread, I handwrite the stories and my writing is a mess.
I am concerned for myself, because this years story was pathetic, uncreative and stupid whereas 5 years ago I actually made quite a fun and creative story.
How do you guys stay creative when you play with your toys? You must have adult lives and struggle with it, right?

Muses don't play like that. The best stories come out of small nothing-type thoughts and feelings that just occur in the brain, and are developed and shaped further by the conciousness.
Writing as an enforced habit, to fulfil a quota, is how you get the majority of Mills & Boon romance novels.
Decide to play when the urge hits you and use spontaneity, maybe that'll break you out of your self-imposed Spiderman funk. Have fun, not obligations.

So why did Takua wear a blue mask in the first place? Was he color-blind? Or just retarded?

to make sure he looked different. I dont know all the lore but it seems he helped create the universe (or something) and then was disguised as a commoner

It was a black mask. I got that one.

Grunt Bash Group Build
It's time for a new group build, and damn simple one. All you need to do is combine a grunt design with a one off design, including named Gundams, Sazabi, Kampfer, and the like.
Due By: November 10th
As always, send it to (and post it here!): [email protected]

Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!
Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.
Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.
Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.

Anyone here ever had one of those weeks where you contemplate really hard on whether to save your money or spend it on a rare figure you really really like with its value raised through the roof?
Like you sometimes idle around for hours thinking about spending your hard earned cash, maybe even masturbating twice to have clarity when deciding and while you're sitting there planning out whether to spend your dosh or to not let your urges get the best of you, someone might already bein the process of buying it ahead of you which by then you're either freed from overthinking about spending money or burdened by the regret of not buying it sooner, which might be accompanied by buyer's remorse?

If you can't decide whether or not you have enough money to buy something, it means that you don't have enough money to buy it.

Got myself this little guy, yes, it is expansive but it is really worth the price.
With that, is there any news on selling the fast/super pack separately from the new VF-1S?

Anyone ever feel bad about selling your toys.
I'm talking about toys that meant something to you that you held onto for years but decide to sell it because you have no room.
I'm selling a bunch of anime dolls/toys/plushes that meant something to me in the past but they've just been collecting dust. I figured it's better to give to another home but it hurts a little bit to let them go.

>>5265478
yep
>>
>>5265478
You know what hurts even more? When the toy you sold turned out to be rarer than you thought and other sellers have sold the toy for triple the price you got for yours.
I'd that was the case, I would've just held onto it if it was that rare.

I keep a few at my work desk and I very rarely take something with me when I travel, though often because I just got it and I am going to be bored in an empty hotel room anyway.
I am horrible about making impulse purchases when bored on travel.

Why don't they just start making a spin-off line of PAKs that are half the size and half the cost so that they scale with Figuarts/Figmas and shit and don't destroy wallets?
