When it’s my birthday, I just usually ask for money. It’s not that I try to hide my hobby, it’s more like saving my family members the hassle of actually trying to find the right one as they probably don’t understand Gunpla/Plamo terminology and probably pay way too much. Especially being in the States where Gunpla is imported.
Really liking it but it irks me that they want the expansion set as an Bandai Hobby Online store exclusive. I understand that it cuts cost of middle mans and they make higher profits for something that costs about a HG/RG as they won’t sell in huge bulks.
Just wish they would give us over sea guys some love and let us buy directly too.
