A bit pricey though - they send you a bit at a time over 24 months at $70 a month.* And the display case is extra. I wonder if they will make the Tirpitz too? *You do get a $5 discount on the first kit they send you, Oh wow. I almost loved model building as a kid. I say almost because I was terrible at painting. I just don't have the hand-eye coordination. Something like this that's prepainted would be up my alley. Great! Another hobby to consider getting into.

One of the Ace Hardware stores near me has some Metal Earth models - more my speed and certainly easier on the pocketbook. https://www.metalearth.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like $3 shipped for small ones. Crafts and models are such a better value hobby than collecting video games. Some of the big expensive (relatively) ones look amazing https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002193612927.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.1.1f75284bXI5IbG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,671 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I built tons of models as a kid. Lots of '60s muscle cars and WWII planes. Believe it or not, but I sold most of them a few years ago for a surprising amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bogomil | 804 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I wish basic cellphone plans would go down in price for less service rather than maintaining a base price or continuously going up with better plans. I'm still grandfathered in to a 100mb/month data plan for $25 because I don't want to pay $40/month for 8gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Verizon where I was paying something stupid like $180 for two lines. We did pay both our phones off before coming to mint but it still would have been something like $120.

Wifi at work and home, so I only really use data for checking email/messages/maps when I am out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 3,770 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Was thinking about collecting some famicom. Kind of daunting. Lol @ $3 for game $20 for shipping. CIB seems more sparse than NES. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 3,770 Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Is it the standard that that a random Japanese guy shows up to your house in a non descript car and drops a box on your porch like 3 days after you order a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 3,770 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 When collecting NES boxes I always prefer Rev-A. I really hate those hang tabs.

OTOH, it feels a bit pricey since it's a (very good) replica. But on the other hand, it is a screen used "Disney" prop so I know that adds value. If I had the abundant, expendable cash, my house would be getting some fake ramparts and my wife would just have to find a way to make it "look pretty" in the front yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to add sandbags and a loophole in your door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
