TBT!

BHM

There is an old staying that goes something a long the lines of "its always better to risk regretting something you did than know you'll almost certainly regret something you didn't."

T.

P.s. please send twiglets anyway

Its a known issue some older clear minimates do yellow. Frodo and the invisible woman suffer from the same thing.

I Don't think theres much you can do about it sadly.

T.

Some say if bhm can finally get a beer out of Timbo ..........................he'll do his best to be there & drink it.

There is an old TBT family saying which goes something along the lines of "The only way you'll get a beer out of me is to put your fingers down my throat..."

But I'll make you a deal, if you do show up at C2E2 and bring me some twiglets (They are impossible to get here.) I'll consider buying you a Pint...

T.

Have we gotten a sober answer from BHM one way or another on anything?

Fixed that for you...

T.

Love the show and the original its based on but civilian minimates never do well.

Having said that I'm pretty sure that QCs wouldn't be that hard to put together?

T.

I'd be inclined to say if they cant come here to see where to go and details them as Hellpop says they aren't going to be that interested anyway.

All mmv members would be welcome but at the same time I want to relax and hangout with the guy's (and gals?) Not spend my evening explaining that minimates aren't Lego to a bunch of folks who saw a flyer and have nothing better to do.

T.

Yep. I am kneeling in front of Zach.

Phrasing!

T.

I really want to meet you. We run in so many of the same circles it's a bit crazy.

Do you also put your arms out and pretend to be aeroplanes when you run in circles?

T.

Thanks guys! More Englishmen than I thought there would be!

The guy who created this place way back in the mists of time is English and at least one other member of staff is also from that side of the pond.

As for the question on opening mates or keeping in packaging, I've always been an opener unless the package is pretty and would be destroyed during the opening process. I have probably have a couple of thousand loose mates and just a couple of hundred still in packages.

T.

Welcome to the forums. Good to see more folks from the UK on here.

You say youre only going to get a few but its a slippery slope, we all started with... just this set... then just this license... and ended up at... oh no I'm missing that rare packing variant of a figure I already have.

T.

If it happens I'll be there, you'll need someone to bring a little class to proceedings & keep BHM in check.

T.

So Mayfair emailed me back this morning and said that

'They have an agreement in place and are working with GBJRToys to supply his product.'

So it looks like these might actually be legit, albeit that the new line of toys is an old line and he's just acting as distributer?

Well I looked it up and it looks like he’s not even having a funeral.

Too bad, I would have enjoyed seeing some funny signs.

Well a couple of years back at comic con they were counter protested by a mob of nerds/geeks with Plenty of interesting signs.

I have discussed hashtags with a least one member privately.

You should see less Yolo tags going forward, one way or another.

We'll just have to find another way to annoy dinobot (which my phone just auto corrected to dingbat).

T.

Baghead.
Part of me wants the whole funeral thing to be ignored. If nothing else to prove that people can be better than he was.
I know its a crazy idea in this day and age but does acting as badly as he did make anything better?
Yeah I'm a damn hippy at heart.

T.

Seems to me that its a non event. biggoted Old man dies.

Imo the less attention this bunch get the better.

T.

If it makes you guys feel better, I get it sometimes also when looking at attachments and it now seems like the ones in the contest thread have disappeared completely...

I wonder if permissions changed during an update. I'll check in with Shane and Ady as they are the brains behind the techie side of the place, I'm just here to yell at people

T.

Rocket looks ok for an accessory pack-in... I know at that size articulation wasn't going to happen but I'd have liked the gun to be removable or for there to be another pack-in without it.

Looks like I'm going to have to get my proper rocket fix from another toyline, What cool versions of Rocket that are being made by other companies?

T.

p.s. Sending me that prototype might help ease my rocket related pain Zach...

Damn it. Just finished mine up, only for it to be late. Oh well. One day contests shouldn't be a thing, lol.

post it anyway... just for fun

T.

Neither of these are very St Patricks day relevant, other than I was outside playing with my new camera this weekend & they both have green in them.

"Hello Boys..."

T.

p.s. Yes Lurch, I Intentionally excluded myself from prizes by posting 2 pix

As a boardgame geek, I'm very aware of get bit & Maydaygames.

If they didn't know about this before they do now, I just shot a question to their customer service very innocently asking if they had a deal with him or if he was ripping off their designs.

T.

If past form is anything to go by I don't think he cares if they are successful. Just as long as he can take cash for 'preorders'.

Actually now I say it out loud... we could be talking about either of them.

T.

P.S. does any one else think it looks like someone stole Geoffs ice cream cone and he hasn't realised yet?

The thing about seeking an audience with Digger at a convention is that no one even needs to pay to attend. An informal meet & greet with his fans in the parking lot would probably have less outside interference and yield more impressive results.

This will only work if someone brings a trident.

T.

In all seriousness, has anyone just asked him, mentioning what DST has said?

Now you're just being silly, Do you not realize that this is the internet?

How dare you be calm and reasonable its just not the done thing !!!!!!!

Seriously though, Shane does have a point, sometimes it's a quiet word that can make a difference, It can be hard to be heard when everyone is shouting.

T.

Just finished in time here's my guardians of the globeimage.jpg immortal image.jpg bulletproof image.jpg Rex-splode image.jpg robot image.jpg monster girl image.jpg dupli-Kate image.jpg black Sampson image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Nice customs Mike, however... I'm going to be 'that guy' and point out that the rules state 1 Minimate custom per member.... Which of those is your entry?
