MiniFiend UK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ok this starts off a bit obscure but bear with me. For the last week I have had my fiance's nephew here while the little ones mum and dad where up in Scotland at a wedding, so we where on babysitting duty. Not that that is a hard job as we have kids of our own aged 14 and 15 so the only real job for me was cartoon watching and farting partner for the baby. Now his parents have been here before and the last time there was the baby his father and me all playing with my minimate collection. So imagine how surprised I am when his mum comes today to collect him and see her sister and gives me a present of a Maximate Sentinel statue. it turns out the dad is a big Transformers fan and had found a comic and collectibles shop so he wnt to see if there are any transformers things that he hadn't got and spotted the Maximate and bought it for me as not seeing one when they where here. To say I'm pleased is an understatement as I had always fancied one but had balked at the price. She also told me they bought me the Galactus one as well but I'm not having that till xmas :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Great surprise. The Maximates are really cool, despite the high price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've had a pretty good day today. I won a Nightcrawler Minimate on eBay, and the great guy above is sorting me out with the missing hairpiece! Man I love this forum. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Work 4 Mates Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Awesome score! I would say the Maxi's are way better in person than seeing them in photos. Mate On!... mini, that is...not meaning a little person, unless you are into that or you are one...in that case, go for it! WW4M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
