I get annoyed when I tell people that I collect and build model kits, and people go "Wah...so big already still play toys ar..."

Hello....it's a MODEL KIT...not toys laaaaa

>_>

/ranting

At least they call your kits toys.
Try having people calling 1/6 military action figures, dolls.

i have plenty of friends, uncle aunties come into my room ask me, "wah, you how old already wor, still play with toys?" i shoot them "since when u see me play with them? u will never understand art, go play with ur car"

lol

I usually point to the small print in my Revoltech boxes

"Collectable, not a toy" or something like that...

No one tell me off yet, for now.

I haven't received a comment about me still playing with "toys"... Maybe those people do talk about it behind my back but I'll never know...

this is our local mentality...

even playing video games also sometimes they will come and tell you old already also still wanna play this thing ar...

everything with the box written "for ages 5 and up", its meant for kids...
collectibles or toys, the disclaimer really puts you off whenever ppl commented about your hobby...
unless u build planes or ships, its like its another league of enthusiasts.
car, bikes, mechs, bots, whatever that falls in this category, it'll be considered as toys..
unless its a ferrari or F1 die-casts collectibles,its a league of its own to most ppl..
mentality is the cause of this...

Dun give a damn bout wat ppl said
Models kits r hobby not limited to toys.....

Ppl used to say, wah...u r so old already n still playing with toy robots ah?i was like?yeah so wat coz i loved robots n now i can smash them with these facts!!

Gundam model kits = toys?
1st; Yeah right, Japan's Ministry of Defence is planning to build Gundam, so wat r v doing?Japan government r building BIG YOYS

2nd for car fanatics; d latest Skyline R35 GT-R's design was also based on Gundam's air duct designs k/

Hmm, my fren have his MG Strike Freedom broken by his cousin. Know what his mom said? "It's just a toy. No need to ask his (cousin) parents to ganti it". Well, if other things that have same value as the MG SF, broken by the relatives (for example, vase), I'm pretty sure the relative's parent will ganti it

I wonder table top figures are toys too. They are no joking matter when it comes to painting.

We are in bolehland, luckily I'm not as big as you guys, people don't complain much cos kids do play toys after all. My parents are always nagging that i should stop collecting toys ahem collectibles, they will never understand that toys have high resell value and is an art. So my vote i YES kao kao.

if they do think like that...then they wont come and say those things to you lo
that is why we call this mentality...
dont care what...toys or whatever they can categorize as a toys are belongs to a kids...yea i know some box written there for adult collectible keep away from children...but still people will say it...it just another toys.

yea yea, i once got some stupid frens come over and said,
"Now barbie got male dolls ke?"
stupid...

OT just started on 40K TT with a SM Attack Bike. All thanks to my brother's poison.

LOL, at least my friends are more open. It's my aunt and uncle that bugs me the most.
hmm.. reminds me once a niece of mine wanted to play with one of my CY-girl converted to SEAL CQB Commander. When i told her mom (my aunt) the value of it, they got a shock and dare not touch it.

I am quite open when I let others touch my TFs, as I trust the safety and durability of the toys .

But some collectibles and kits are different story, only for those who pro at building it.

you know, you could tell them things like this: at least i can afford to play, can you?

then again, it sort tells you how rich you are so might as well not.

when i tell people how much my toys cost they just shuddup. hehe.

transformer i will people touch one...as transformer do meant for kids...rich kids...hehe

but then...for those 1/6 figure...then ur ultra-expensive pvc, then ur hard-job painted gundam...i wont let people near it

i lock em all in cabinet.. can see.. no touch

Haha, agree that TFs r durable so they can do watever they want to it....
My cousin broke my gundam last time n i was so mad but my mom n his said, aiyo, only a toy mah....no big deal right furthermore it's not that expensive...

Damn!
