Re: What did everyone get for Christmas?
I got the Harbinger and XO hardcover collections as well as the Star Wars Blu-Rays. Santa Claus left me, my gf and her son some of the Ultimate FX lightsabers. Got some cool book ends to hold my Valiant TPB collection. Awaiting the A&A hardcover as well.
Oh, and over $1000 in credit card debt for being Santa this year.

Sucks about the power, Greg.
I had a post earlier about the sweet Harbinger art sonicdan had Lewis LaRosa create for me. He also gave me several several variant covers that I had wanted. And a bass guitar
My little girl created all sorts of art, including making me my own binoculars out of the cardboard from TP rolls. My son set me on a scavenger hunt. No prize at the end - the hunt was the gift. (Droll little guy.)
A very sweet Christmas. I am fortunate, indeed.

Re: What did everyone get for Christmas?
I got my monthly shipment of Valiant comics from Paradise's store!
They were nice enough to send it early before the holidays and the end of the month since there was no more Valiant titles to come out this month.

I got the X-O Manowar #1 Gold and QR variants from my wife who said several members here were very helpful in making sure seems was getting the right covers and not getting ripped off. It was totally unexpected.

Re: What did everyone get for Christmas?
A derby by Stetson. Very nice hat, like the one that I used to wear when I was a teen.
A CGC 4.5 slabbed issue of The Avengers #5. My wife finally overcame her fear of buying me comics, it seems. I had the item on my wish list but I wasn't expecting the slab; it's an awesome gift but I'm frustrated that I can't read it.
An Otterbox for my Droid Razr HD Maxx.
Mini RC helicopter. This year I specifically asked for fun and/or personal stuff becuase last year I got anodized cookware (I do all the cooking). Nice cookware but it's kinda like getting a mop.

Re: What did everyone get for Christmas?
I hear that! I did much the same as you, jmatt - last year I basically got a ton of clothing from everyone, most of which didn't fit or wasn't really my style. I appreciated the thought, as always, but this year I specifically asked my wife to get me more geeky fun stuff, and she did great by spreading the word to immediate family.jmatt wrote:Mini RC helicopter.

I had a good laugh when I saw my stocking - front and centre sticking out it was a magazine simply entitled 'geek'. Anybody here ever heard of it?
I also got;
- An old Super Nintendo Legend of Zelda game
- A cool Star Wars & a really cool Goonies t-shirt
- A Walking Dead figurine of the Well Zombie from the tv show (hand picked by my 9yr old nephew - we had fun pulling it apart to look at the dangly guts inside)
- gift cards for Best Buy & my LCS!
- 3[!!] PS3 games - Doom 3 BFG edition, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare & Armored Core 5.
I seriously try hard not to waste time playing viddy games these days as I prefer to spend my free time on my illustration/design work... But this was a good haul, it'll be tough to resist play-time!!

Re: What did everyone get for Christmas?
Since I was a kid I always hated getting clothes. Christmas is for extravagances, things I wouldn't spend money on for myself. I can come home with new shirts and pants from the store and my wife wouldn't bat an eye. But if I came home with a Stetson or an RC helicopter for myself, she'd think it was odd.grendeljd wrote: last year I basically got a ton of clothing from everyone, most of which didn't fit or wasn't really my style.
So I'll dress myself, you just get me fun stuff for Christmas!
