I am a sports "lover", I love most sports. If Our hobby was electric hockey or soccer I would not be in it, (although I do love foosehockey and fooseball.)
I am going to say miggle got me into the hobby.
The story:
I just got out of school and my mom was picking me up which she doesn't do much unless she needs to. She handed me a "catalog type" thing that was from miggle. I was looking up electric football in may 2007, but forgot about it the next week. This time I had something that would sit on my shelf next to my bed that would remind me. I quickly scanned through this "plugged in" catalog and got my interest back. The whole next week I talked my 11 year old brother and my 9 year old (could pass for an 11 year old) into earning money with me to buy the rose bowl. We got it very early in the mail in November. I also planned on painting some figures, but miggle didn't have my paints that I wanted.
Christmas:
I got more figures and bases for Christmas and was in love with the hobby. My brothers did not have the patience to play Miniature football and disliked it now. I got some paints and brushes and slopped on paint for a white "Jaguars" team. I cannot find that team now but I played with this team a lot.
January:
I got better brushes and decided to paint a team with a lot more quality, they were dark jaguars. I got better bases, and discovered looking up miniature football on Youtube. I found the 308 board on there and kept watching Reginald Rutledge video's. The next week I started scanning his website noticing how much better his figures were than Miggle's. A few weeks later I forgot about ff.com (then) and got back to miggle.
February (birth month) I got a 308 board for my birthday and waited a long time to get it having bad luck with how supplies needed to come in from russia and everything. Thanks to Reginald Rutledge He put in some stock figures and a 1975 vikings decal sheet into the box.
I wasn't planning on...
