This isn't my hobby, but I can't help but be inspired by the dedication of some of the frequent posters to this Lemmy community.

I happened to be in a place recently where these were being sold and got to see them for sale in the boxes for the first time. I had no idea how expensive some of these got! The silver one in the center frame was $99 and I saw others there price at $170! So not only is there a high cost to get the kit, but then all of the work you guys put into assembly (and painting?).

You've got something here you like doing. Keep being your awesome selves!

Like any other hobby, though, you can do it on the cheap (simpler kits and basic tools) or dive into the deep end. I know you said this isn’t your hobby, but Bandai makes Entry Grade kits that are pretty inexpensive and simple to put together, no tools required even.

To grow your community, this should be in a sticky at the top. Maybe link a couple kits and some trusted sites to buy from. The stuff you guys do here is very attention grabbing, but feels a bit inaccessible to those that just stumble upon it from seeing new posts.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see about writing something up.
