Parents are great!

My dad rocks. So, I'm all deployed out in the middle east right now, and just heard like 2 weeks ago about the whole 'stopping the minis' thing. I was bummed, because I knew I didn't have the cash to fill out my fleets like I wanted to (or to start some, for that matter) I only really have a small EA and Centauri fleet.

Well, I just got a message from my dad saying he picked me up the following:

1 Babylon 5 A Call To Arms Civilian Fleet Box
1 Babylon 5 Earth Alliance Apollo Cruiser
2 Babylon 5 Earth Alliance Warlock Advanced Destroyer Miniature
1 Babylon 5 A Call to Arms Earth Alliance Crusade Era Fleet Box Set

Whoo hoo!
i had just ordered an Apollo and a Third Age fleet set tonight. Looks like I'll be doing good! The company said the Warlocks were out of stock, but they had more coming in. Think 2 is enough? They are such sweet looking ships.

 

[katadder]

cool, well done that dad.
where abouts in the middle east are you?

 

[l33tpenguin]

Can't say, OPSEC and all (hey, I can try and be a good nco...) Its not Iraq, and thats all that really matters.

I think it's cool that your Dad even knows your tastes and needs enough to get you miniatures that you needed! My parents would have never been able to do that for me. Not even my wife and kids would know. The guys I game with would probably be able to do it.

Good luck over there penguin. I've had a good friend of mine do two tours over there so far, and I breathe a sigh of relief each time he comes home.

and Kudos to your dad as well!

[katadder]

[Roguetrooper]

Good to see that I'm not the only Serviceman who likes to push spaceships round a board. :lol:

 

[dag'karlove]

Nope you got another one right here

 

[wpngjstr]

Got a whole bunch here in Oki...

 

[Taran]

And another here.

I find it amazing that your dad was aware MGP was stopping production. My parents wouldn't have had the first clue...

I have an Avenger, 2 Warlocks (1 in the box), 3 Novas (1 In the box), 2 Oricals and 2 Olympus if you would like to take them off my hands.

Ohhh.. Thats tempting! I'll probably have to clear it with the mrs. She keeps track of the budget and gets snippy if there are deductions from the account she wasn't expecting.

 

[Shadow Queen]

May bung in the Int Sinks for you and the Avenger as well

Isn't that the truth! She wasn't happy when she saw the $100 order I put in, but I told her I had cancelled something else I had ordered that was on backorder and it refunded $160, so she was placated

Queeny, I sent you a PM about the ships, lemme know!
