*HIJACK* Thanks Rx78jj *UNHIJACKS* cheers, Totalus

*RAISES HAND* I have, the reasons above still apply... being constantly bullied, struggling with coming to terms with being gay, having no friends, blah! blah! blah! Just kids stuff, I was gonna top myself that night... my mam is disabled so has lotsa drugs and things and there was vodka in the house, so cudda done it. But I didnt... because I thought to myself what am I doing? FUCK what everyone else thinks of me, I'm me and I should stand up for myself. I did of course, and I'm still here Now things arent completely peachy, but with a 3 year relationship under my belt and engaged I might add, life has improved a substantial amount, so I'm glad I'm still here cheers, Martin

Awesome work guys, wont be taking part in this one.... dont have the heart to destroy my silver surfer <G> Roll on the custom concepts cheers, Totalus

Dont mention it what about a silver surfer spray painted gold, or a gold plated minimate that used to be a silver surfer cheers, Totalus

^^ Can't complain about that answer Everyone isn't the same, if it were we'd be the borg or cyberman or summit, *shudders* you are right in what you've just said. Can't fault you for that, wasnt trying to down play it, ive been depressed almost committed suicide myself for being bullied, being harrassed for being gay... blah! blah! blah. But if anything we are helping by letting you vent cheers, Totalus

I know was just using it as an example no more no less cheers, Totalus

Well Ive been saying that those Trekkies *cough* me *cough* would lock them away into there prized possesions and lock them away to never see the light of day, or alternatively get one of the ship models and run about the garden shooting down non existant alien vessels But I guess I was wrong, good on ya DST thanks for letting the fans seeing a small glimpse of what could not be kept. cheers, Totalus

Life will treat you hard friend I know all about the lack of work, I left my job over a year ago to live with my partner down south (UK btw, so it would near london) Hoping to find work while I was there, but to no avail as the minute a job came available a student snapped it up as I was living in a town full of students thanks to the local university. All the funds I had was working all hours of the day, at a part-timers wage doing a managers work so in the end I walked away with £700+ also due to me not using up any holiday hours (ouch! I used none) Once that money was gone I did what anyone does come home to mom and dad But then I found I had a medical problem (not gonna discuss it) and had to have an Op to sort it, my partner came home to live for the summer all peachy and rosy and now he has gone back down south leaving on my own. A few weeks ago I had the operation I needed and now im in repair, I have no money and now no life... cept perhaps the minimate forums and various other things. So what was the point of me telling my story? Well when life gets ya down I just struggle on, always have and always will. My advice is this will only be a short term thing, sure you lost quite a bit of cash but you'll recover from it... just dont get down about it, there are far more people a lot worse than you. Not saying its me but hey you only live once so be happy I hope things start looking up for you TMT and just think there are minimates just around the corner, courtesy of the Random Giveaway Contest <G> All The Best, Martin

I think its a cool idea... but not everyone is gonna be able to walk the earth and pay vasts amounts if say Reideen needs a gold spidey and it was me who was lumboured with it. I wouldnt know where to start looking, neither would I pay the hefty prices of ebay to get it, yes its cool to get minimates for each other but I'm not sure that it should apply to everyone? In all fairness I love minimates to bits theres only a certain few I would like to possess and not have a huge amass of them like some of you and use them as custom fodder, I'm in it for the fun so if I was paired up with Fuji's I wouldnt care what I got However I can see where your coming from and does sound like a worthwhile idea since its a Minimate community and since some of us dont know each other like some of the regulars here it would be hard to get stuff for each other. Just my two cents. cheers, Totalus

Who? Just so I can bribe them of course <G> A harley will be in the post soon... cheers, Totalus

^^^ go on jules go and sit on them, you gave Bernsie a run for his money I bet if you hound em enough they will bend to your will. Next stop find the person who bought the Shinzon Costume. cheers, Totalus

All hail the creator... cheers, Totalus P.S If this turns into a third reich movement, I quit <G>

Perhaps up the anti a little, no one under 40 posts? I mean yeah its a little unfair to all those under those limit... but I dont sell anything or buy anything all though the thing ive been sent has been greatly recieved that person knows who they are and I couldnt thank that person enough As I too would like to participate as it would be fun <G> cheers, Totalus

Well its not going to be her chastity belt now is it? All though it could be a conveniant place to hide a battarang. cheers, Totalus

Hmmmm.... Intriqued I am, pulling it off difficult it is. The idea behind it would be pairing people up without them knowing then providing people with there addresses, so my suggestion is... all those wanting to be involved sends an email to one or two people who are always in constant contact with each other. This is going to sound tedious and very boring but effective, for all those that volunteered there address and name get split into two catagories, for example Minimate A and Minimate B. The two who organised it, then select one name each from a list by writing down all the names into a hat, (there should be a deadline for the secret santa, so you dont get new additions say a week later) then once all the names have been paired up, the people who are paired up get sent a PM with the address of the individual they were paired up with. Ta da! Secret Santa. The groups could be broken down further into four catagories, being A, B, C, D that way it can be broken down into four people, each sharing the work between them. So A and B would work together and C and D would work together. There would also be the possibility to keep shipping costs low by deviding the world into grids, say Canada and Americans can only be secret Santas, Europe would be a section... and so on, and on. There are many ways for this to be done, its basically getting it down to the right one for the board and how many members want to participate, I also suggest a limit to be spent present wise, as not everyone will have a huge amount of money as it wouldnt be fair if Timbo sent Fuji's a Harley (not gonna happen) and if Fuji's sends Timbo a Pair of socks So setting an amount would be idealistic you can spend under it but not over it Thats about all the thoughts I had, more to come if needed cheers, Totalus

Thirded! *Bangs mallet* Motion Carried, onto next buisness... cheers, Totalus

Also the guys are doing this from there own pockets, no financial backing etc. they're doing it cos they want too, and I do applaude you for it, as you are beating AA hands down in many departments. cheers, Totalus

LOL! cheers, Totalus

Nice work Especially like Supergirl. cheers, Totalus

WOOT! I won one... <G> cheers, Totalus

Bad Ady But your forgiven because you are our leader and a nice guy... or am I talking about the right person? <G> cheers, Totalus

DAMN IT!!!! EDIT: But Jolly and Seanus dont have 30 posts or more? cheers, Totalus P.S Just in case “Minimates taste better with gravy!”

I am thinking about customising one of two of my only minimates... and this is more of a Brit question, I know there is Sculpey but can it be bought over here, and if not... whats the best thing to use? cheers, Totalus

*Totalus Nonsense senses start tingling*

I mean it doesnt say you can't... what does the almighty judges say? On another note, if it is a concept... does it have to be brand new as in the sense its been created and never entered into a contest before? As that particular ruling is quite vague, as I have a few concepts and there is one in mind I would like to use with tweaking. cheers, Totalus
