Partner playing TF's?

[Soundwarp]

Just wondering if anyones partners have ever had any interest in Transforming aka playing with you TF's?

I ask as mine does tranform a lot of my new ones fresh from the box with the instructions.

But right now is doing Classics Ramjet for the first time without instructions and is very proud of herself.

My ex would constantly attack my tfs with mixed results

[blackie]

when i got octane/tankor she transformed it first, then i had to transform it into one of the other modes for her :p
shes and engineering student to, so she should be good at it :P
sadly though, she doesnt share the same passion i have for them :(

[Pulse]

She thought they were cool & luved fiddling with them (but she couldn't understand my interest in "those really old ones" :rolleyes: :D).

I, on the otherhand, had no interest in playing with her stuffed animal collection at all... (She could never understand my lack of interest in them :D)

[Soundwarp]

Mine semms to get into the hunt but doesn't love them like i do.

I had these waiting for me after Affy:

Mine doesn't really touch em, though to her credit she did win a KO off ebay for me last xmas :rolleyes:

[jaydisc]

Wow Warp! She's a keeper!

Mine OCCASIONALLY will have a stab at one, but typically she just makes mental notes of each one so she can tell when I've silently acquired a new one ("I haven't seen that one before..."). That and she gives each one a quick review, e.g.:

"I like that one."
"That one's a bit unnecessary"

haha sounds like my missus too!

[Stompy]

"That one's a bit unnecessary"

Love it! So truthful it hurts. They just don't understand.:p:o

[heroic_decepticon]

my missus transformed Punch/Counterpunch, Springer and Grimlock in one breath. She wasn't very good at placing their weapons on them.

She definitely knows which are the valuable ones to 'liquidate' should we ever 'need the money'- MIB C-114 Fort Max, MIB Scorponok and MIB Overlord are dead centre in her sights. hahaha...

Every time I get a new TF my wife's first question is "how much?" :p (she's an ex-accountant which might explain why)

She likes looking but isn't really all that interested in fiddling or playing. During our earlier days of marriage she would sometimes move a TF from one shelf to another to see if I would notice... and I would. I'd walk into my TF room, spot the misplaced TF, then put it back on its original shelf. At first it was because she'd knock one down while cleaning the room and unsure where it came from just put it back on any shelf. After a while she'd try it on purpose, but I'd still catch her out. So now she doesn't try (that and the fact that I clean my own TF room now too - now that we're living in a 2-storey house she doesn't like dragging the vacuum cleaner upstairs so I get delegated with vacuuming upstairs :p).

She used to find it really strange when she would catch me playing with my toys, i.e.: she could hear me making noises and doing voices from downstairs, and occasionally walk in on me playing (NOOO!). She'd be like, "what are you doing!?" But she's used to the sight of a grown man (her husband no less) playing with toys now. :D Sometimes she sits in the TF room while I play and she'll read a book or something. Ehehehe. She was doing some study and listening to classical music in my TF room yesterday when I took those Beast Wars Volcano Base action shots. :p There's some irony and coolness to posing BW toys while listening to the Swan Lake theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzpqM4THqZ8). :)

Lol i think they are all the same in atleast some way then :p

[jacksplatt11]

My most previous GF didn't really mind, she thought I could spend my money on better things but she understood it was my money :D she bought me a couple of legends too.. Only transformed them a couple of times

My missus does the same . Only she takes them completely and hides them somewhere, usually her bag. And then she asks me which on is missing, although she usually just takes a mini-con so I can just check all the teams and partners are there.

She also doesn't like it when I get new ones. It is always "how much did you spend?" and then she scolds me...
She does like playing with them though, just trying to transform them back and forth. She isn't to bad at figuring it out, even without a reference too. But that is as close as she will get to them.

My wife doesn't do that, but she does the next most scary thing- she continually offers to buy me any Transformer I want and she asks which is the most valuable and hardest to obtain.

I'm not about to take her up on her offer because I believe these are my Transformers and I want to be buying them myself. So I told her that she shouldn't buy me any Transformers just in case she mistakenly buys me one that I already have and that would be a waste of money, heh.

You should teach her how to become an expert scout on Demonbay... ;) (That way she'd do the hard work for you :D)

Mine throws my TFs around or just fiddles but never really plays. She doesn't really bother with them unless its to bug me which I'm trying to learn to not react to. :rolleyes:

[1orion2many]

:)My wife used to keep hassling me to play with Fort Max "Sorry but that is a MAN only toy" I would say, then i would wake up the next morning with new bruises:p:D. She did think my Optimus Prime helmet was cool but the dogs go berko when someone is wearing it so that is now in retirement:D.

[dirge]

My ex was (probably still is) a transfan.... however she used to mildly disapprove of me spending money on TFs. The silly part was we didn't have anything even remotely resembling shared finances.

Pure gold Jaydisc :D

My wife used to keep saying "I think you'e got enough" to my collection of 90 transformers but with my dysfunctional family being more dysfunctional then usual at the moment she understands that I need somewhere to escape too :D

I was trying to find a good pic but I had to rush so just posted anyway

[i_amtrunks]

My missus is pretty good with it all, I'll get a look or a small complaint when I go and get a heap of figures all at once, but she also understands that I mostly only buy in groups to maximise savings at sales. Most of the complaints come when I buy figures around Christmas and birthday times, which is fair enough.

Then on the flip side she encourages me to buy figures when they are not on sale, or when I am not sure I want it, and even buys me figures (and lately lots of TF shirts) for no good reason.

She has begun to threaten me with melting of particular figures when I annoy her too much, but I know she never will, as it means that I then ahve tog et a replacement figure! :D

She makes you buy the figures you love so that she can use this to threaten you! :D

I wonder what would happen if she put a TF in the micowave... (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=InWSuGkDrfg) :D

[JuzMel]

My boyfriend would look over and take a glance because it's once in a blue moon that I actually DO open a TF (there are all behind plastic prison!!! hahaha :D) and if the figure interests him, he will pick it up and have a look and that's about it until I BUG him. :p

I will try and transform the TF figure myself. If my patience gets the better of me, I then chuck it to him and ask him to do the transforming (he's the more patient one in the r/s). :o So far Ultimate Bumbee and MP-nono are the longest and hardest to transform. Took us about 30 mins to an hour.

[GoktimusPrime]

So you're a Transformers collector who doesn't know how to transform her own Transformers? :p ;)

[Pulse]

That's pretty pathetic Mel... :D (I'm just joking :p)

[JuzMel]

:mad: Not funny guys! I do know how to transform! I'm i'm mmmmm just lazy and inpatient to figure it out for those 2 figures mentioned.. otherwise I'm pretty okay with all of them... :( :o Meanies you two... :p

[Pulse]

I'm swowee... :(

Will a free TF make up for it? :D

[Golden Phoenix]

Better include the instructions :D

sorry, couldn't help myself

[GoktimusPrime]

Mel: I wasn't the one who called you "pathetic" - I was just asking a question. No offence intended and I'm sorry if any was taken.

[Tiby]

I've forgotten how to Transform heaps of my TFs! That's nothing to be ashamed of! Especially the movie line!

My fiancee will not play with them, partly out of no interest and partly to avoid breaking them. My friends have had a go (I had a transforming competition at my birthday party last year!).

[heroic_decepticon]

For G1 TFs only, I could never forget how to transform them. I even dream about it at times. (not that their transformation is anything too complex though).

[Soundwarp]

G1 is OFF LIMITS to my wife as a rule!

No offence was taken guys, don't worry. I thought something "serious" had happened when dirge called me and asked if I was unhappy with the post. It was actually more of Pulse's "pathetic word" which he felt was discriminating. :p But it's all good...

Can I put in my mum is awesome too? She actually reads catalogues and tells me about toy sales (she's here in OZ for a visit now!) and whenever she sees Transformers she's thinking if I have that or that and should she get it for me. This is when she's back home in Malaysia when out with my dad. :)

Ah yes! If we're expanding to more than playing, my GF is always kind enough to check the TF files when she's out: sample (http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/TF%20Message.mp3) [mp3] :D

I can't believe one teency weency little word spoken in a light-hearted tone was nearly taken the wrong way...

I'm glad people still have a sense of humour around here... :)

[Metroplex]

I dont allow my GF to touch my toys but I know she does when im not there. For all I know all her friends come around & have battles between each other.
I have got her to start buying them for me when we go shopping!
