LeadAsbestos Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Wow! I finally got miniatures for Christmas! After being into this hobby for 5 years! The wife got me my Artizan Paratroopers ( the wrong pack, but it seems to have been the company's mix-up) and she threw me a few $$ from our gifts to buy myself the Bronze Age Miniatures Greeks I've been drooling over, although they didn't get here yet... All in all, sweet! :thumb: Anyone else score? (Minis, I mean... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I got a Magnificent Egos Avril the Winged Elf Maiden, a Fenryll Female Butterfly, and a Reaper Warlord Cinder Dragon. Also, ordered but didn't arrive in time for Christmas was the Confrontation Royal Guard of Doriman box, Dark Age's Dragyri Blizzard and Frostbite and a few more Reaper minis I liked. For my husband I got the Confrontation Varghar wolfen, the Fenryll Master Vampire and Iron Golem, The Pegasus Hobbies Syberclicks construction set, and a large tube of green stuff. @ FF- You have competition, Nathan! My FozzBozz order (which arrived Christmas eve, what timing!) had a little package of Skittles and some Starburst candies in it! I may have to choose my ordering company soon by what kind of sugary treats they send! :tongue2: I hope everybody got lots of great loot! Merry Christmas! :gimmie!: :gimmie!: :gimmie!: :gimmie!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Heh, no miniatures on this end but a nice holiday none-the-less. Sounds like some good swag there. @ Duende - heh, yeah, there are four or five companies that have been sending them out this month that I've read about here or there, I got a tickle out of it, but I am by no means the first. Damn, gonna have to find some addictive candy now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klute Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Ooh I got the Confrontation Vahgar Wolfen. Also I got the Maximus figure that looks exactly like Russell Crowe by Lattorre(?) But the best one was a Hospitalier Knight from Andreas......that figure is simply the best lump of lead Ive seen and Im going to spend hours and hours lovingly caressing it with my brush. Im fancying collecting those knights. Next will be the Orlando Bloom Kingdom of Heaven lookylikey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 nothing at all in terms of minis, but I think my family is a little intimidated and don't even know where to start buying these things. Oh well, I didn't do so poorly in terms of other presents, so now I can use the money I saved on buying other stuff for painting supplies, right?

Gonzoangel Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 No mini's for me either I'm afraid, same reason as Eric's, family wouldn't know where to start so they don't bother. No big deal, I'd rather buy my own stuff anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 no minis for me, unless you consider the keychain digital camera as a mini - it sure is small, and I feel like a spy when using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi6ers Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 No minis in my stocking but I've just done a trans-atlantic swap and got some Chainmail Dawrves and an Otyugh to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anatora Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Maya gave me a box of minis, and, because I always misplace at least one present, I found another big box of minis, including some 54mm. Not sure how long they have been lost , but some are out of production and some of the manufactures seem to be out of business as well. And I found some jewelry I bought for presents last Christmas. It was a banner year for long-lost items. This year I misplaced the scratch-off and the lottery tickets, but found them late Christmas Eve just in time to stuff into the stockings. :dancing2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Only mini I got was a porcelain Guinea Pig :thumb: Steve B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I didn't get any minis for Christmas, but I usually take care of all mini-related purchases myself since I know what I want and where to find it (unless I get it for free... ). I did, however, get a nice warm coat! Oh... and socks, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 no minis for me, unless you consider the keychain digital camera as a mini - it sure is small, and I feel like a spy when using it. Mild mannered Attorney by day, jet setting super spy by night? I'd buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I certainly wasn't expecting a porcelain guinea pig. But it was very welcome and is currently looking not-very fierce on my sculpting table.

Steve B I have heard that REAL guinea pigs are quite a detriment to painting and sculpting, as they like to spread fine dust everywhere! Maybe porcelain is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricJ Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think that may be about as threatening as it could look though! cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Lilly Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Awwwhhhh he's adorable! No miniatures for me as my family doesn't know what I like, but I did get some gift cards, a nice set of leather boots and a killer jacket. Going to wear them tonight for the New Years party.

Duende Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Wow! That almost looks like the piggie I used to have! See!: That's one realistic little porcelain pig! Adorable! :proud: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Similar to a pig I used to have. Unfortunately I turned out to be allergic to Guinea Pigs and can't keep them anymore. Ah well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
