Win tickets to Transformers Animatronics!

April 26, 2017 by Heather Step 10 Comments

The other day I saw a pair of Transformers socks at Pick n Pay and I bought them for Nicky. Now a few weeks ago he wouldn’t have even known who they were. But now Bumble Bee is his favourite and he is a definite fan. He put those stinky socks back in his cupboard and would have worn them again had I not whisked them away! We had such a good time at the Transformers Animatronics exhibition and now we want to share the experience with you. 

Internet TV service Showmax is giving away 5 sets of 4 tickets to the Transformer Animatronics exhibition at Emperor’s Palace, which runs until 28 May 2017.

This is quite an incredible exhibition as all the Transformers on display are made from car parts and other scrap.  They are real metal characters. No cuddly ones here! But still super cool to pose with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. 

The first section is a display of all the Transformers which includes the Autobots and Decepticons plus the latest Dino Bots and famous Rescue Bots, the famed pre-school series that has expanded the Transformers fan base.

Nicky liked Bumble Bee but he was also fascinated with Megatron especially when I read on the text in front of his bike formation that he can also turn into a boat.

After the display there is a cinema where you can watch a 20 min movie and then there is a kid’s play area with Duplo blocks and large lego blocks. with food as well. There is also a rubbing activity where you can make impressions of your favourite transformers. 

You can read more about our visit at my post on my blog One Step at a Time.

While we were there at the exhibition, there were a few Showmax people walking around with clipboards telling us about Showmax. They will help you sign up and explain how to claim your 30 day voucher. Showmax makes sure that the Transformers fun doesn’t end. The kids can watch the Transformers Collection on Showmax as many times as they like once you get home!

 

 

And if Transformers is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other things to watch on Showmax. There are also 1000s of top-quality, educational and fun kids shows for the kids to enjoy from Barbie to Paw Patrol for just R99. Take a look at all the fabulous family features available from at www.showmax.com/family

 

WIN 5 sets of 4 tickets to the Transformers Animatronics Exhibition! 

All you have to do is leave a comment below on why your family should go. 

Terms and conditions:

You must be a resident of SA to enter and able to get to the exhibition at Emperor’s Palace, Johannesburg.

Once winners are selected, they will receive a special ticket and will be able to book the day that suits them best up until 28 May.

    My name is Marc-Leigh Geël. I am 8years. I love Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime.I made my mommy and my Uncle Neville stop on the highway when we came back from holiday in Naboomspruit along some highway to take a picture of me with a Bumble Bee character. I moved to Joburg in December from De Aar in the Northern Cape. I would love to see my special characters in real life. I am still new to the city life and can not get enough of all the things that other city kids are so used to. I even visited an airport for the first time in my life in April. I hope you pick me and my little sister Mia.

    We’re huge Transformers fans, we have been since the first movie (which, in my opinion, is still THE best of them all). We’d be absolutely thrilled to see the Animatronics exhibition! 🙂

While Nicky has been away playing tennis at Cradock I've been alone at home and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I opened up extra slots on a Friday night but the jokes on me as my regulars just moved themselves there. 😂
Mittens was confused and waited for Nicky. He is even sleeping in the donut beds I bought due to the cold. Finally.
Anyway I am glad to have Nicky back and let him play some airsoft on Sunday. He had fun.
Happy Monday everyone. How was your weekend?
Nothing like catching up with a friend at @mercha Nothing like catching up with a friend at  @merchantandmillbakehouse we had some good coffee and those brownies are so good.

Just to say, two weeks ago I didn't post any photos. We had an awful time in Uitenhage and for the first time actually skipped a round and went home early enough before it got dark.

Just remember that winning only comes after those tough times.

OH and my wall is finally up! Major victory!

I really feel like we turned a corner this weekend.
After days of pain, Nicky had dental work done and he is no longer in pain. Such a nice emergency dentist who met us on Saturday afternoon to get things done. 
Also the airsoft gun is finally working!
After weeks of getting the charger sorted we realised the batteries weren't fitting in the gun. Thank God for Linda and her crew at @planet_paintball.pe who exchanged a part to make the whole thing work and let Nicky try it out with some other people. At no cost. We are so grateful.

Last Sunday night we heard a crash but I thought it was from the other side. I thought I should look at my phone to see what was going on and saw missed calls from my neighbor.

Some guy had literally driven into my wall.

So while we have been dealing with fixing walls, insurance claims and a lot of follow up, what is a girl to do but take refuge in a chocolate desert?

Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse  and @your_motivationalcoach sipping cappacino and having a nice chicken sandwich and brownie squares while Nicky had a muffin and some pies. He was also giving me a blow by blow of squid games. 😂
