Sir Norman Ray Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Well, seeing as it isn't Christmas yet, not for another two hours, I'll post what I know is likely. A bottle of Disarano Ameretto drink. (already got in works secret santa) Market Square, which I plan on doing my first set review on. (I ordered the damn thing cos my mum wouldn't know how to.) The Colour of Magic on DVD. The Dark Knight on DVD. Slippers. I really don't expect a lot else. God, I hate being an adult with his own house... Quote
samthelegoman1 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 I really don't expect a lot else. God, I hate being an adult with his own house... Why not crash a Christmas Party! Quote
chris_austin Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Market Square, which I plan on doing my first set review on. (I ordered the damn thing cos my mum wouldn't know how to.) Where did you order it from?! You're in the UK right? Oh, maybe Bricklink... Quote
rriggs Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Lots of chocolate, sweets and a few days off my diet for starters... Oh yeah, and two and a half weeks off work... Most importantly, though: 7736 Coast Guard Quad Bike 7235 Police Motorcycle 7744 Police Station That's nine minifigs in one day which is a very good day by my standards! Still got stuff to come from my old and my in laws so hopefully more minifigs on the way!! Not so good - I was doing some cabling in the living room and put a hole through a gas main with a nail No heating, no hot water and no cooker for the rest of the Xmas hols. My wife is really proud of me! Still, my XBox is now online... Cheers Rog Edited December 24, 2008 by rriggs Quote

My wife is really proud of me! Still, my XBox is now online... Cheers Rog So it's entirely worth it! So far all I've gotten is the AC/DC "Fan Pack", which comes with the Rock Band expansion (which is awesome), a live DVD (which is awesome), and a shirt (which is awesome, but doesn't fit me). I know of some other things I'm getting, though...=P Soldier's Fort (=D) Shipwreck Hideout (Another one, it's just that good of a set) (Assumed) Rebel Battlepack Halo 3 GTA IV and a year of XBox Live. Oh, and the best part... A bag of M&M's premiums. XD ~Trexxen Quote
Natman8000 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Well so far for chanuchah I got: cash, a really nice American eagle shirt and a new pair of sneakers . No legos... yet. Quote
CP5670 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Nothing really, although I got myself an 8421 Mobile Crane off ebay last week just because I had a lot of free time for a change. Quote
Sandy Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Other presents aside, I got the Troll Battle Wheel from my boyfriend yesterday, and I assembled it first thing in the morning. It was a bit of a chore to put together, but at least it was challenging. The wheel doesn't move as well as I thought either, but who cares! It looks stunning! Very Merry Christmas to you all, or as they say in my country: Hyvää Joulua! Quote
Sir Norman Ray Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Where did you order it from?! You're in the UK right?Oh, maybe Bricklink... No, off of the LEGO UK Website. Had to order it Express because of the closeness to Christmas. Also, update, I also got a new jumper Quote
paul_delahaye Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Well, the dog ate the Christmas Turkey yesterday whilst it was defrosting so Christmas Dinner will be different today. I got an old technic set 8868 Air Claw Rig, second hand but it's an old one I've wanted for ages Quote
CP5670 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I got an old technic set 8868 Air Claw Rig, second hand but it's an old one I've wanted for ages Nice find. That one's still my favorite Technic set of all time. Quote
Crazydance Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 No lego for me. however i may get another technic set real soon. Something like the cherry picker.. Now back to santa's generous gesture! Ik got a USB stick from Sandisk, a Stiletto type drive so that you don't get to loose the Connector cap, or just bend the connector. Ideal for the destuctive situations i tend to get in. And as flagship present i got a Ipod nano! Those things are so damn sexy! Quote
Skelotic Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I happened to get no sets for christmas but instead a 300 dollar gift card to the Lego Store. This will be my first time going to one (I went to one in Orlando but only for a few minutes). I saved a 5 dollar coupon from a Lego Magazine and I'll get a 10 dollar gift card for the purchase . Oh and I plan on getting the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer and the Castle Market (if not available Brickbeard's Bounty). Quote
Matn Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I got a bit of money, to buy my camera (hopefully tomorrow). Quote
Hellingly Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Clothes, Sweets, DVDs, Books... ...and just this little Lego set thing called Medieval Market. Quote

brickzone Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Hagrid's Hut from the Prisoner of Azkhaban - something I hadn't yet bought because it's often overpriced on ebay. Also the Agents Swamp Chase - completing my collection! Quote
Darth Legolas Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 The entire 2009 clone wars collection...well except for Ahsoka's starfighter which I just bought on Shop@home this morining! *grumblegrumble*40bucksfor291pieces*grumblegrumble* Happy Holidays and...happy holidays! Now I wonder if Ahsoka's starfighter will ship in time for new years day! Quote
General Magma Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Two 7979 LEGO Castle Advent Calendars, Power Miners Mine Mech and Stone Chopper. Not much but we have another holiday in the month December in my country, from that I got the Jawa Sandcrawler, Troll Attack Ship, Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase, hunt for the stolen treasure (Indy), three Impulse Troll sets, a Matoran, and a small basketball set. Quote
legotrainfan Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) I got Market Street 10190, which was no surprise because it was a present bought by myself for myself. A real surprise was Beach House 4996; a very nice set. My sister was hunting for Town House 4954 for me, but she started her hunt much too late, namely on Dec. 19th. Everywhere she looked it had been sold out. Ebay didn't occur to her, and she found amazon too expensive because of the shipping costs. So 4996 was the alternative she came up with. I'm satisfied with that one too. ...plus a bit of cash and a box of sweet stuff to eat. Edited December 25, 2008 by legotrainfan Quote
