The who got what?...or Pimp your pressies thread

[Anpanman]

Just two things game wise, Katamari Forever and a Dualshock 3.

Well three if you count a 16gb Sandisk Extreme II pro duo for the PSP.

Daughter got UP for the PS3 which makes a fourth indirectly.

I like how it looks angry when it gets to 22:10

How'd you know it was 10:10 PM?

10:10 is a magical time in the watch world.... Very rarely will you see an official watch advert with a different time displayed! (other than perhaps 10:08, 10:12 etc...)

Anyway, I got...

Chris Ward C13 watch
Smellies
Pants
A shirt
John Lewis vouchers (already spent on more smellies and a polo shirt)
M&S vouchers (spent them on some clothes for my lad)

Family have stopped buying for me now really, and buy for our son instead. Which I'd much rather anyway, as I have far too much junk and I'm an awkward bugger to buy for. Mind you, if the lad gets another train set, or car, then I am going to have to start selling his toys on eBay.

[dataDave]

But did you complete it properly?

199.5%

I'm not bothered about the remainder, the overpowered items ruined the last part.

[VR46]

The usual clothes and bits for me, and this which I've been after for a few months now, can now do it from scratch in about 40 minutes. Not for those with little patience, can see it smashing easily if thrown against a wall etc.
Anyone else got one?

[importaku]

That looks pretty fun, sort of reminds me a bit of this. Still want to find one.

[sj33]

@DavidH -Yes, I received one of those too! Not took it out of the box yet though.

[ETC]

good haul. 100 quids. brutal legend. lego rock band. video game manual book. ross noble dvd. ice age 3 bluray. smellies. choccies and the complete death note dvd box and new dvd player with memory card compatability to play it on

[VR46]

Get yourself down to Argos importaku. It's good fun. Just don't watch the flash gits on youtube solve it in about three minutes. Very annoying.

Hope you enjoy it Shakey, makes me want to dig out the original Cube now, was able to complete it twenty years back.

I was spoiled rotten this year. Got lots of lovely things but the main surprises were...

A framed-cast of my old cat's paw prints! God I miss the little bugger, but now I can have a piece of him in my living room

Also got a new mountain bike (hehe, felt like a right big kid going out on that Christmas day - love it)
The hat from Rocky 1 (wow!!!!!!)

- Also ate myself through two Christmas dinners (6, if you include all my additional helpings and finishing people's plates, ha - i'm a hungry lad) Good times, good times.

[gunrock]

I got a ton of stuff, but the main thing was my wife being an amazing lady. She almost single-handedly laid on Christmas for my whole family and then did it all again on Boxing day for her family.

And she also bought me a PS3 slim, Uncharted and Singstar:Take That. She's an amazing wife and mother.

[Number45]

Finally got a new pair of headphones for my iPhone (Klipsch 4Si/S4i... something like that anyway) which not only seem to be incredibly flimsy for the price but I'm not terribly impressed with the sound and to top it all off they've been giving me small electric shocks this morning.

The Wii that we bought for the girls is also DOA, which means that half of the stuff that's been bought for them is lying dormant. Trying to arrange replacement with Nintendo now.

Other than that I got Rage Against The Machine, Florence + The Machine and Paramore (They have no machine) albums. Wolverine on Blu-Ray, Ghostbusters, AC2, Ratchet & Clank and Borderlands for the PS3. A couple of nice t-shirts as well, including a great Slimer one that I'm wearing right now.

Lots of other little bits and pieces as well, but I can't remember them all.

While the forum is in the mood for mysterious spherical objects I may as well show you the Zoid that I built on boxing day (my present to myself, heh)



It's a slater beetle type, and the movement is amazing! Unlike all other zoids which either walk or roll forward on wheels, this one propels itself using momentum. When you wind it up it uncurls into a flat woodlouse position, then snaps back into a ball and does a forward roll across the floor. Incredible design. I do feel sorry for the little pilot though...

[halfhearts]

Got blu rays from my family

District 9
Cloverfield
Gomorrah

and my girlfriend got me
Art of My Neighbour Totoro (Book)
Lots of sweets
Optimus Prime bobble head and this....



Nice frame to boot.

My best pressie was a foredom allset for stone setting, bloody expensive and essential for my hobby, best pressie ever.

I also finished my handcrafted Invaders bracelet which I am well chuffed with.
