slow and steady
True, we\'re not fast, we\'re slow and steady and get there at just the right time...
lol
Hope the mini shows up soon, would be a real shame were he lost.
I had an interesting thing happen this week. I bought a mini from Cento on E-Bay and had him ship it to my work address (stuff tends to disappear when left at my home address). The geniuses in the shipping and receiving department decided to open the box for inspection with a box cutter instead of just pulling the little white tab that opens the box. Cento had done a very nice job of wrapping the mini in bubble wrap, but it didn\'t stand up to the razor blade on the box cutter. There is a lovely gouge running the entire length of the right side of the mini now from the box cutter. The Shipping Supervisor said \"sorry, but you shouldn\'t have that stuff shipped here anyway...\" I like my job enough that I turned and walked out of his office before I throttled him :flame:
Anyway, I hope your mini has a better fate and just stopped at the pub for a quick one on the way.
Cheers,
Grumb

At the gaming store I use to work at, he had a similar incident involving a Patrick Roy Rookie card, where the guy didn\'t tape up the sleeve on the top, and the card came out during shipping. Then when my boss opened it with a Knife it sliced right down through the card.
Hopefully your mini arrives, I can\'t wait to see it finished.

Darn, Patrick Roy getting sliced up. That\'s a shame.

Their sucking-ness is only exceeded by the Sens and Flyers (you can tell I\'m a Leafs fan, can\'t you?).

I have a buddy who is a Leafs fan, as well.
They\'re his second team behind Chicago (and don\'t believe I haven\'t enjoyed torturing him about that).

...this isn\'t some ploy to make it look like the little fellas got lost and then someone has to go and visit Margo to try and find him huh??!?
Oh, Can I go ? Oh wait, she\'s happily married. lol

Here\'s to hoping the parcel is :
1. the mini
2. not damaged beyond repair
*hopes and prays*

Any news ?
Yes! At last! After some delays at the post office, my husband picked the parcell (it was on his name just to be on the safe side -- my passport is far from being a Russian one, and I didn\'t want to have any problems at the post because of that!).
So I finally got the mini. It\'s in one piece, the sword is a bit bent, but it\'s not too bad. I hope to get done with my part in next few days and send it on (to Astonia, right?) soon.
It was a real delight to receive this mini -- my first reaction was \"oh my, that\'s the dwarf! that\'s THE dwarf!\" So thanks a lot
