I can only say "Jesus fucking christ" (Excuse the use of expletives there - It was well in context!)

Well, that's this thread done with, cos ain't nobody gonna beat that!


All I asked for was the discontinued Lego Star Wars At At walker, so that's all I got! My parents drove halfway up the country (Uk) to obtain it, as they are very scarce now seeing as they have been taken off all shelves everywhere!

They were lucky to track one down, but had to go on a mini pilgrimmage to get it for me.

I am thanking them by cooking their christmas dinner for them!


It isn't as lame as it sounds (Well, I AM 23!!!) - It retails at 90 quid, yet recent ones on eBay have finished in the region of £130+

It is an investment for the future more than anything - Being one of Lego's biggest models (Third biggest I believe) it will surely maintain it's value, or perhaps increase due to demand by collectors!

Plus it will look damn cool on my desk when it's finished!

You'd be better off just talking to him on his own actual site, seeing as he's not here much.

No games from my family but Christmas was saved by a package from my main man Joe!



From my family I got assorted shirts and pants, a Simpsons 2005 calendar, a jumbo Snoopy dispenser, various Peanuts books and DVDs (Seinfeld, Iron Giant, Dodgeball and Spiderman 2)

Not a bad haul at all. I think I'll use the Xmas money from my aunts to get Paper Mario 2 tomorrow.

Flack... didn't take long to get your kid hooked on Star Wars stuff (that's a Darth Vader mask right?). I can't tell if those are video games or DVD's on the shelf in the background, but whatever they are , that collection is . I don't have pictures of my stuff, but all I got that was video game related was :

World of Nintendo Illuminated sign
Powerglove (new in box)
Impossible Mission 2 (SEI white label version) -- this came in the mail today at 10:30, talk about good timing.

Got some GREAT stuff today:

From my parents:

Xbox - Project Gotham Racing 2 (Dad got this for free from his directv nfl ticket)
PS2 - Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne w/ book
Nintendo DS system with Super Mario 64DS

Then from best buy, my manager gave me two factory sealed snes games I had said I wanted that some cops returned as stolen evidence from 11 years ago.

Got a couple non gaming gifts, some nice t shirts (ac/dc, ozzy), new jeans and a miniature fridge for my den. Enjoyed this christmas immensly. Merry Christmas to the rest of you, hope you enjoy the holiday.

I really didn't get anything game related from my relation other than two Hot Topic T-Shirts: One is red with white lettering and a NES controller outline (also in white) that says "Back in the day" in a digital calculator font. The second is blue with a NES deck on it that says "Classically Trained".

The rest was:

-a Ronco Showtime Deluxe Rotisserie

-80's style black octagonal dinner setting for four (plates, smaller plates, bowls and mugs)

-Firefly DVD set

-holiday plates and towels from the VP from work

-box of meats and cheeses

-cash

Queen of Felines took care of the gaming side with the Secret Santa gift (see other thread).

All in all, it was decent and fun.

I don't have a digital camera, so a list will have to do.

I got two games:

-Burnout 3 (PS2) from my mom.
I've wanted to check this out for some time.
(And if I didn't have to be at work in a couple hours, I would)
-Maximo: Ghosts To Glory (PS2, non-GH) from a friend.
It doesn't have a manual, but hopefully Game Recyclery
or someone on DP will have one that needs a home.*

Other stuff:

-DVDs - School Of Rock, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Napoleon Dynamite.
-$10.00 Wal-Mart gift card
-Strong Sad t-shirt
-18 capacity DVD Rack
-$5.00 cash
-Sweatshirt
-Umbrella
-dreamcatcher keychain
-A deck of cards
-A 3-pack of blank 60 minute cassette tapes
(this is the odd present of the year, but I'm sure I'll find a use for these)
-A LOT of candy in my stocking.

All in all I got some pretty nice stuff. I'm happy.

*And should anybody reading this have a spare Maximo: Ghosts To Glory manual, send me a PM.

I'm too lazy to take a pic but:



A whole pack of these! I don't know whether to eat them or save them I've had two (I was hungry for one and a link was in with the mario's, so i evened it out) and they taste.....weird, for sure.

I also got a book of Ripley's Believe it or not.
