LewisD you absolute legend :mrgreen:

Image

I am a huge, huge, huge Phoenix Wright and Breaking Bad fan, so needless to say I absolutely adore the shirt! My brother is incredibly jealous as he's also big on Ace Attorney, ahah.

I also love both the Super Nintendo and import gaming, so to have a boxed copy of Kirby's Super Star, one of the system's best games, is an absolute delight! Also very eager to try the strategy game which I'm honestly not familiar with, I have a SNES capable of playing import games so I'll be able to play 'em :)

Thank you very, very much sir, you clearly did your research and went well above the call of duty! It is certainly very much appreciated :D

Also ecstatic to see that Joer is very happy with what I got him, god I love GRcade's Secret Santa :wub:

Btw, on DigDug's present I put a sign saying 'There Are No Santas'.

SO glad you like your gifts :)
As soon as I got you I knew I was getting that t-shirt :) I had a job finding your size though, that's why I had to ask buff.

The Famicom games were a gamble, Kirby because I didn't know if you already had it (search loads of post history!).
The strategy game, after a bit of research, seemed like a predecessor to Advance wars, so I thought you might find it interesting.

Let me know what it's like.

:)

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Merry Christmas and was good to deliver it in person and meet you too :)

Thank you so much and it's great to see everyone else being treated so well!

So sorry I'm posting this so late! I had a 2+ hour car journey this afternoon and have been boozing since!

My Santa got me...

Image

A perfect cube! :shock: I opened it to find...

Image

A Pacman box, which contained...

Image

... A Pacman mug. It's one of those heat sensitive ones which reveals all the Pacman characters when it gets warm. The box also had a £10 Xbox Live voucher strapped to it.

Thanks very much to my Santa. :-) My parents insist on having weird ponsey mugs which are stupidly shaped and/or too small, so the mug is ideal. The voucher will come in handy very soon, no doubt.

PS A note to my Santa - I've let my parents know that the mug isn't dishwasher or microwave safe!

Excellent show all round this year, and I don't think we have a single Vesp! Fantastic work by everyone involved, and naturally special thanks go to Buffalo for sorting it all out. :wub: :wub: :wub:

I want to see a picture of that thing built and painted.

Skarjo - I'm glad you like it! I was worried that Flareon might not be there until after Christmas but I'm glad you managed to get both packages. For the record I don't mind you opening them early, was my fault really. I wish Amazon would put better info when I clearly marked "This is a gift" option :roll: But yeah, glad you like them!

Green Grecko I'm at my sister' home for Christmas, so I didn't get to grab the present with me but I will let you know when I manage to pick it up :) (Unless you saw my message and didn't mail it out till after xmas)

Glad DML likes his gift, looking forward to hearing PPM's reaction!

I still can't quite believe I have a Dreamcast again after years without! And I never had Shenmue first time around. So now it's time to start building a collection.

Chalmers, you are an absolute legend. And you've made me certain that North-East 'cade needs a meet-up. Let's make this happen.

I've been at the inlaws all day, but want to say thank you to boris for his awesome presents, which included:

Lego
Chatter teeth
A dragon with an axe and katana (because...you know...its a strawberry floating dragon with an axe and katana!)
Sweets
And a mug which cracked me and the gf up proper. Unfortunately I won't be able to take it to work incase a certain person sees it.

Stella gifts and really appreciated.

Photos to follow.

Really glad you like the present DML. I love what this place is capable of when we all come together.


You're very welcome :mrgreen:

I had to do a fair bit of Twitter trawling for inspiration but thankfully I seem to have got things right! I picked the film because you tweeted about the passing of James Gandolfini so I took it that you were a fan of his (and therefore a man of impeccable taste). He's really good in it :)

I don't know if the notebooks are entirely work suitable but hopefully you get some use out of them!

StayDead, thanks very much again, I really appreciated the thought with the annual (it's already had a good read today!) and it's good to finally get my own Funko figure after the kitchen has been taken over by my wife's collection! Most kind :D

Great that you liked your gifts, DML, big props go to Buff for organising everything again!

It's really lovely to see how much effort people have put into their gifts, I hope everyone enjoys them and has a cracking rest of Christmas :)

You have no strawberry floating idea. Genuinely speechless when I opened it up in front of my mum earlier, been quite gobsmacked since.

I'll get photos up tomorrow, strawberry float me you're a star. :wub:
