Grown ups that collect toys

[The Bouncer]

I especially like the limited edition Metroid hat.

It's not limited edition. It comes with the 1/8th scale Samus that's peeking out from the bottom of the page.

this only happens when an engineer never grows up

[Terraem]

Growing up is for losers anyway.

You're never too old for toys. They just get more expensive.

it's a gundam/gunpla reference.

Necro for a Model Kit question:

What's exactly the difference between High Grade, Master Grade, Perfect Grade etc.?

What's exactly the difference between High Grade, Master Grade, Perfect Grade etc.?

NG is non grade, where the quality and size varies wildly
FG is first grade, a kiddie grade for Gundam 00 kits. Cheesy, not well made
AG is advanced grade, same as FG but for Gundam AGE
HG is high grade, the most common kits. Usually 1/144 scale
MG is master grade, much more expensive and complicated to make, but better quality than HG. Usually 1/100 scale
PG is perfect grade, super expensive, complicated and rare, but are the best you can get. 1/60 scale
RG is real grade, a MG shrunken down to 1/144 scale

ftfy

Also you got Mega sized models which are essentially 1/48 scaled HGs. Also got the better kits go from late 1990s to now era. That's where most of the more well engineered kits are at and with minimal stickering.

Ah I see, so they just have more details/are bigger?
Cause I was looking at some kits on ebay and there was from the same model 1/100 MG for ~$30 and PG 1/60 for far above $100 up to over $200 and more

[Stranaton]

PG is very rare, they make only short production runs of those kits

Hnggggg, black RX-178 you will be miiiiiine...
Once I'm more experienced with all that.

Buy a cheap HG to test out if you like kit building.
