    Miniature Sculptures

    I'm really interesting in getting all 6 to be quite honest. But can anyone tell me what they're like? Are they exactly the same as the one unveiled (except obviously smaller)?

    Maybe someone can post a picture if anyone got one at the game?

    I think I saw a kid playing with one and it seemed like the bat was separate from the sculpture.

    Thoughts on them? I'm gonna try and make it out to the other games and get one and maybe find a F. Robinson one on ebay or something.

    BTW, this has got to be one of the cooler giveaways the O's have had. Anyone agree?

    Got mine. Didn't open it yet though. I did see people opening theirs and I think you're right, the bat seems seperate but maybe its easy to break off or something, you know how kids are ha. Tonight was a cool game! Other than the rain. Was so cool to see Eddie Murray, Earl Weaver, Frank Robinson and Jim Palmer. Brooks is ill No idea where Cal was.

    I'm hoping there's a way to get the miniatures through the Orioles without attending all the games, but I might have to turn to eBay. Luckily I'll be in attendance for the Jim Palmer ceremony, can't wait after seeing Frank's today.

    I got mine tonight. It's pretty nice. It looks exactly like the sculpture. Yes, the bat comes separate. It can be twisted in to the rest of the sculpture.

    At the game tonight and just got home. The sculpture is very nice...probably one of the nicest giveaways I've ever seen. Looking forward to the next 5 Legends nights!

    I just chipped part of Frank's helmet off, I dropped it coming out of the box. I have two more though. Looks nice to me.

    I saw them wheeling a bunch on a cart back to wherever. I know they usually keep the giveaways for FanFest the next year. I think the crowd would of been alot bigger if the weather was better. It was dugout club night as well.

    Bat comes off. I ended up super-glueing it because it wasn't particularly secure if you just placed it into his hand.

    This is what I ended up doing. Bought one for $46.99 (with shipping).

    Plan on going to the May 12th game with gf's father. Pretty excited to see how it looks!

    These look really cool. I'm a west-coaster though right now... might be able to be in MD for one of these during the summer (was able to be in Baltimore for Opening Day and Opening Night but otherwise not so lucky). Would anyone with extras be willing to sell one to me?

    I'd be willing to give you a Jones or Roberts bobblehead, unopened (plus a little cash) if you want to make a trade for one of your extras!

    Thanks but no thanks. You can get a Frank here if you buy the rest of the legends series.

    For the least expensive package you could get the Frank bobblehead and tickets to the rest of the series for $75. If you think about it if you try to buy each bobblehead seperate how much would it cost at the end? instead this way you can get the bobbleheads plus tickets to the games.
