Warning: it is a very expensive hobby to get into. With the complete lack of time I’ve had, I have a box pile of shame that I really should start working on...
If you want an expensive hobby, get into modular sythesizers! Other stuff is of course even more expensive, but this one's the worst I've personally ever dipped into. It's a bit like CCGs, only instead of booster packs you buy that fascinating cool new $300 module. Argh!
expensive hobby compared to what?
for a hobby it really isn't that expensive at all.
