TBT!

I emailed Jaycen and Matt a while back, surprised they've not shown up yet... Other missing peeps are Mr PL and Brandon (trekcollector*some stupid number*) but both were tied very heavily to the previous forums so I'm not that surprised. T.

Nice with the connections to MMC & MMHQ we should have this twon sown up in a few weeks... JL? no one told you? I sent an email to your IM address letting you know where we were, I guess you're like me and have a thousand email adresses and dont check them all T.

lol well if it is te first thing i did was to tear it out of the package and put it on the shelf... So I'm not going to be making a fortune on ebay from it Thanks for the find Santos, the Electra Set is going today. T.

Seen as I am IP Banned at his, I vote no. Want me to go over and sign up as Andy Canter and watch him freakout As for those cuboids, damn they'e ugly... T.

Wow, Glad you are safe. Life is never dull in the 'ster household is it? T.

Good examples... Thats just the point, so what if someone whos new to customising swaps heads and it vaguely looks like a movie character and enters, sure they may not have a hope of winning but they got to be part of the fun as much as the paint dribbler... that was my point in essence You are new but fitting just fine, heck we're all new in some ways the boards only been here for two weeks! You're sharing your thoughts, making good points and keeping it civil which is all we ask And for the most part we dont squable here, we just have diferences of opinion sometimes This board is probably the most relaxed & friendly place I've come across online. T.

Selling bodies....Didn't anyone tell you it's hard out there for a pimp? T.

Nope, Texas. Didn't know this was a private party. lol the idea was to ship to the guys in the UK in one shipment to save on shipping. I'd say i'd pick up an extra set for you but by the time I've shipped it back to Texas from SoCal it'll probably end up costing as much in shipping as buying direct! T.

Hmm how about 2 shiny Lesbian Superheroines Danny... Danny.... *slap* whew! we lost him for a bit there T.

Interesting points there TM2, but the point that it's alienating a percentage of those that might want to play along, yes spending time and effort is a good thing, trust me I understand the differences between a pop the pieces custom and something that has a lot of 'changes' as much as anyone. Surely if someone comes up with a quick custom that people go 'oh yeah that does look like ...(enter movie character name here)' then that is all thats needed and enough thought has gone into it? Some of the guys here have lives and kids etc and wont have time to build a full on custom in month, heck even before I unintentionally alienated myself from the contest I was questioning if I'd find time. As for the ruling of 'you must add paint or sculpt' where is that line drawn? How a bout a quick custom with a small blob of paint on the sole of the foot, there that's modified but is still a quick custom. My intent here was not to get the contest closed down ( Which despite the faux drama of one of the previous posts, shouldn't happen because of someone asking questions in the Q&A part of the thread.) but to question and clarify one small rule, the response to that was overly defensive and out of proportion to the question. T. p.s. Folks, these are just toys not life and death, no one is going to make it into the industry as a result of these sorts of competitions so they should be fun for everyone!

LOL Do you know how much of a struggle it was for me to not use that line..... T.

Cool thanks A. I love the fact that you guys have an answer for almost everything. I'm happy I think this one is better it's the one I would have wanted T.

Hi there, I'd just like to say that we seem to have a fairly high number of 'guest visitors' and wanted to invite you all to joinup and say hi, we're a pretty friendly bunch for the most part and promise not to bite... We are also pretty settled in our ways and it's always great to get fresh views and opinions on all things minimate, so if you see a post you dont agree or just want to chip in then come share your views, if you keep it civil then we are more than happy for debate, amusing counter points and comments about Ady needing an "n" in his name. Seem you in the welcome pages T.

Links and pix anyone? T.

ok ok Ivan wins.... "Im with Marvin... Not that anyone cares..." is priceless... T. p.s. Old school marvin def is the winner of the two....

"And no one is as gifted as Luke or Mini-Myte or antacost so why should anyone bother at all for that matter?".. sums up a worrying attitude. It's obviously 'not for fun' as you are restricting who can enter by making the ability to paint etc a prerequisite not imagination or vision, quick customs can be just as impressive as 'break out the paint' customs if they are done with vision and flair. Seems there is an air of duality about your position here Fujis. Dont get me wrong, I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm trying to understand who you are expecting to enter? If your claim that no one but Antacost. Luke or Mini-myte would stand a chance then why should anyone else bother to go the extra mile and 'break out the paints'? You are alienating a potentially large audience of people that you are claiming to make this fun for. It should be people can enter at their level not a predefined 'advanced' level you are making so you can go 'Wow look at the high quality of my contest'... Either you are looking for Pro's or fun.. which is it? I just dont understand the rule that's all. T.

You didn't answer my question you side stepped it, Surely a quick custom (parts swap) is a custom as it's a modified figure? Why are they Disallowed is the Question? If you believe it's a question of quality then they won't win anyway, if it's an elitist I only want 'hard to do customs" in my contest that stops it being fun for a lot of people that are not as gifted as the likes of Luke or Antacost. I'd just like to understand the reasoning for this rule? T.

Sometimes we're right sometimes we're wrong, heck it's fun playing the game though The fun part was seeing how many weeks in a row you could get away with making the same prediction without giving up T.

Great Story Shane World cup victories will do that to you, I was lucky enough to be in Sydney for the Last Rugby World Cup, England won and the celebrations were crazy there were estimated to be over 200k Brits in Sydney that night... I have memories of still being in the pub with a bunch of Brit and Aussie rugby fans at 11am the next morning after the game and thinking that although I felt fine(ish, this really was a case of drinking myself back sober ) I don't think my body would have forgiven me if I'd have kept going. See sports events give something to all fans even those who's playing days are well over T.

Hey one of you cool guys hooked me up with the Capt B. figure Thanks I have one question though... the figure in the package is Classic Capt Britain, with the unionajck crossing his chest but is different to the one on the packaging... is this a case of there is a slightly different variant out there too? I'm not that worried as I have the costume I hoped to get but am curious T.

Looking good there Webby I love that Apocalypse T.

same as shane, Although I 'm not a speed racer fan, it's aminimate addiction thing but these are the closest to 'hmmm should/shouldn't I' that I have come with minimates. I know I'll buy them but how many depends on what I see T.

http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/schedule.html Click on the little "Live" button by the England game! I'm not sure how many games are covered this way though. T.

I have the match on.. I'm at work (at home) If you want I'll PM you any score as it happens T.

Ad looks fine where it is and isn't a bother at all. Nice job Ady Maybe we should IP Ban Fujis for suggesting others get banned for expressing an opinion? T.
