Danny Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Minimates Central is on an enforced break for two weeks, as I will be on holiday yay! However, during that two weeks is the 21st September, and that is a very special day for me. It will be 3 years since Minimates Central first started, 3 years since one man and his duvet thought that a website dedicated to cute 2" block figures would be a good idea! I just want to thank everyone who reads Minimates Central and uses it as a resource. Strangely despite how shabby the site looks it is one of my proudest achievements, to have kept it going for this long on my own. I say "on my own", but in all honesty I couldn't do it without such a fantastic community that we have here in the Minimates fandom. Thanks to everyone who has helped me acquire Minimates, especially thanks to all those who have bought them for me "as a thankyou". I never understood that - you are the ones doing me the favour. There are now too many to name, although I do try to namecheck you in the reviews I know it's not always first with the reviews, or even the news these days with the busy bees on this forum, but I am proud to have established a directory of Minimates reviews and pics that people find useful. Some of us are finding these Minimateless times a tad bleak. Rest assured, that despite what happens, Minimates Central will still try to cover what Minimates has to offer. Thank you Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyc Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Congrats, and while you might lament your perceived lack of speed, nobody can knock dedication to simple but extensive quality of your reviews is a large part of showing me the value of Minimates back before the site's name change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 3 years online is quite an achievement mate. Well done and thanks for keeping it going. Oh, and enjoy your holiday too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hooray! That is very cool, indeed. Keeping a site updated for 3 years is quite an achievement. The minimate community would not be the same without Minimate Central! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've had a site for three years before, but I think I only updated it twice in that time. All kidding aside, when I first discovered minimates, your site was the first one I found with information on the little guys and has played a major part in feeding my addiction ever since. Keep up the good work, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmite's_mom Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Wow...Nice to finally meet the 'man behind the mask' so to speak at Minimates Central... When my son first discovered the c3 craze they were just starting to get rare & HTF so I couldn't get any glimpses at retail, and your site gave me lots of info (especially on the batcave!) Your batcave article I will ALWAYS remember...your site had the ONLY in-depth info I found at the time on c3, AND was the only way I discovered the secret to staying sane (get the 'fix-it kit' from Playalong to make the thing more workable) PLUS...you always have the best poses & pics (Mikey likes to study them to get ideas for his little 'mate battles) Thanks for a great website & tribute to our favorite obsession! (Ok, MY obsession is my son, and HIS obsession is the superhero/supervillain MM tribe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ya know, this is the first time I realized that I surffed youre site regularly about a year before comming here. Funny how we can be so close and not even know, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
