Male Female

I'm struggling to think of something, as I believe I am a middle-class person, which is not wealthy, nor deprived. Hence, I was never able to engage in luxurious activities such as snowboarding or skiing, which require large amounts of equipment that can be quite expensive. However, I do have a hobby that involves collecting car figurines of characters from anime that I love. Under normal circumstances, you can do this anywhere in the world. I rely on online services to reach my destination. For example, let's say I live in London; if the online services don't reach my destination, I won't be able to buy it. Also, if you are buying online, you will not be able to check the quality, and you may have problems finding a trusted site. Now, since figures can vary in price depending on their size and quality, let's say that I have two figurines with the same design and similar quality—one smaller and another three times larger. Just being three times larger could increase the price by more than ten times. Because this is a hobby, we tend to prefer higher quality and larger size items, and these can add up and become quite costly. As for how I feel about it, I cannot explain in detail. In short, I love it. I am happy that I can admire the figurines that I love, not just in pictures, but in person as well. Thank you.
