My friends and family's response to this Secret Santa thing..
Mom: "Oh that sounds nice.. Make sure you don't spend more on that person than on your girlfriend"
Dad: "........."
Girlfriend: "Wait what's a forum?" "What if you don't get anything back?" "Your putting a lot of effort into this guy from Australia who you've never met" "Hey everyone, Josh has a man-crush on this guy from Australia!" "So I'm guessing for Christmas you'll want a plane ticket to Australia huh?"
I know what to get you next year!

Hmm what do we have here....
A crab of some sort?
It's zoidberg!
Awsome! It's a mario ds holder!
Candy from the UK! I love candy, espicially candy from other countries.
I'm already eating some jelly tots as I type this.
Cool, 20 Questions. I'm always playing with this when I walk through the toy isle in wal mart. Now I have my own! And more candy!
There's something still in here...
BADASS! This is the coolest transformer I've ever seen. It's Skywarp!
And finally here's mario holding my DSi. I was actually playing Spirit Tracks when I heard a knock at my door, so once I opened Mario, he held it for me while I opened the rest of it.
Thanks Zoidberg! These gifts were awesome. I remember telling my girlfriend how awesome it'd be to get someone from the UK so I could get some yummy treats from another country that I haven't tried! And mario, 20 questions, and the transformer are freaking sweet! Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
Santa brought me another gift! I can finally smell after months of not being able to. I know my Santa might not have had something to do with it, even though I like to believe he did, but Woohoo thanks Santa!
My wife should be home in an hour and I'll take pictures of the real gift, if you catch my drift.

Oh wow, that MP Skywarp is aces. I have the Starscream version of that mold and it is pretty spectacular.
Although you do have to be slightly careful with the joints where the wings fold up, because with the Starscream version they a tendency to snap if you fold them too much. Not sure if they fixed that with Skywarp though.

Part of me wants to open it and play with it, but the other part of me wants to keep it in the package looking as nice as it does now.
So glad you enjoyed your gifts. Even more glad that they arrived safely. Even even more glad that I actually stalked those gifts rather than utilise the list you provided.

Oooooooooooopen iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
With that packaging you can fairly easily put him back in for display if you want it to look that again. He's too much fun to transform and mess around with to not open him up.
Haha I'm not dumping her guys. It sounds worse than it is. Hmm.
I'm not saying you should dump her. You may need to slap her a few times for being mouthy though.
I'm joking, of course.
Or am I?
anoffday, it's a toy. You must open it! Display him being awesome. If he's as tall as that Mario is, take a picture of the two like this.
(and yes be careful, with the Starscream at least, some of the joints could be a little fragile. This seems to be a problem with all the Masterpiece figures except for Optimus)

Glad glad glad glad glad
Yeah. You did an amazing job. They were all awesome. And this transformer is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. Also, I think you win the award of greatest stalker since you got me 20 questions. I never said anything about that anywhere, so the only explanation is you flew over to the U.S. and followed me into wal mart multiple times while I went into the toy isle to play with the 20 questions games. Anyway, You rock! Thanks again!
But first, a little background. A week ago I received this:

Awesome! I love zombie stuff, and this put in the mood to fight the infected (and play Left4Dead!).
So, I opened the mystery package:
Iron Man mini . I love little things like this to put on my desk. Thanks santa!
Some more photos:
Iron Man on my window sill keeping watch for any infected.

There was a mix up with the shipping address from the vender to me, but it has been rerouted. Unfortunately, it wont be here until the 15th. Since you are possibly Canadian, I will make sure to send this off ASAP so that it arrives by Christmas. Sorry for the delay!.

So since this thread is all about Christmas cheer I have a wonderful story.
My girlfriend and I are currently expecting a baby in late January and unfortunately we live in her mothers cold uninsulated attic area but hell the rent is next to nothing and its nice to have family around.
Well things came to a head today and long story short her mother called an insulation company and we waited for them to make an estimate. Well after seeing how cold it was up here they 2 men left to go talk outside.
Now the problem is Mom lives on a fixed income so technically we cant really afford this insulation but with a baby on the way we had to do it. So the men come back in and say well your attic is in terrible shape and there isnt much room for insulation but it will cost $1100, well we kinda murmured and what not and then they said but we are going to do it for free Merry Christmas and they did a pro-bono insulation job.
Annnd GIFT GET! Each year you guys outdo yourselves. My wife said everything you chose for me was spot on. COMMENCE PICTURING!
Hubert (lack of real animal, had to improvise) senses something.
I spot some candy! Yess!
Already Nom-Nom-Noming
Before wrapping...
The aftermath... My pants must have exploded about 10 times opening these gifts. Seriously!!
Marvel Zombies (covers), Stupidest Angel, and Zombie Diaries! I've heard about all 3 of these, but never dabbled into them. I'm starting to really enjoy Marvel stuff, and my love for zombies has no bounds. I shall be opening this shortly. This book sounds like it'll be a great read, and Zombie Diaries... Well the back says "Best Zombie Movie Ever!" so it had better live up to it. (I'm sure it will!)
Zombie Survival stuff!!! Got myself a kit and a flashlight. You never know when you'll need it. Especially with 2012 coming soon..... Also got the Amazing Screw-On Head!! I have heard a lot about it, but again never bit the bullet. Now I'm glad I didn't! Sars Wars just looks so great! I have a bunch of friends coming over tonight so I know what movie we will be watching!! And of course: The Last Christmas!! Holy crap this graphic novel looks great!
And last, but not least... WIckedkarma's girlfriend wrote me a zombified Christmas Story:
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land
The zombie apocalypse was close at hand;
No longer the most wonderful time of the year,
The holiday spirit was snuffed out by fear;
The children were nestled all terrified in bed,
While their young lives were threatened by hoards of undead;
And mama, the kids and I hid in our bunker,
Had all settled down for our safety to hunker,
When all of a sudden a sound like thunder,
Tore the silence of Christmas Eve night asunder.
I ran to the peephole hoping I could spy,
Whatever was making such a sound in the sky.
The flame of an afterburner lit the night,
My eyes took a moment to adjust to the light,
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an armored sleigh, and eight bionic reindeer,
With a battle-ready driver, so lively and quick,
Our salvation had come in the form of St. Nick.
With the fury of Valkyries his coursers descended,
Here to make certain our nightmares were ended;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
Tonight we ride to battle in glory!
To face all what may come, no matter how gory!"
At the sound of his cry the zombies looked up,
Hoping that on the flesh of Santa they would sup,
On top of our bunker he came in to land,
The destruction of the zombies now close at hand.
Piloted by St. Nick, as sly as a fox,
His sleigh held an armory to rival Fort Knox.
Half saint, half Rambo did our hero emerge,
Arrived just in time to rid the flesh eating scourge.
He was dressed all for war, from his head to his toes,
And his clothes were all splattered with the blood of his foes;
A bundle of guns he had flung on his back,
He was a one man army prepared to attack.
His eyes -- how they burned with a fearsome bloodlust!
His mission was clear and he knew his cause was just!
His mouth was all twisted in a grimace so fell,
And his mind bent on sending brain-eaters to hell;
Between his teeth he held a Cuban cigar,
Puffing with zeal as he readied himself for war;
He had a fierce face and a muscled physique,
Jolly old Santa’s fat shape had gotten quite sleek.
All geared up for war Santa made quite a sight,
I had to laugh right out loud in spite of my fright;
With a pump of his rifle, a thunderous report,
The undeath of zombies was quickly cut short;
He spoke not a word, but slew zombies with mirth,
A man on a mission to save the planet earth,
A single thumbs up told us all that he’d won,
That we were all safe now, that the killing was done;
He sprang to his sleigh, invigorated by slaughter,
And dead on the ground lay ever last rotter.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
I'm seriously astonished at how well you did WIckedkarma! Tell your girlfriend that her story was great and I will be sharing this candy with my wife (as she's eating one of the candy canes).
Also, I didn't forget that I also got Torchlight from you, so huge thumbs up from me to you sir!! I really appreciate the thought that went into the gifts!

I know what to get you next year!
Oh, yes! Very happy, its pretty and fun and much better than spending ££ on postage!
For paintings in progress, check out canvas and paints
"The power of the weirdness compels me."
Yes.
She wasn't happy that I decided to step my gift up a notch because of it.
A crab of some sort?
It's zoidberg!
Awsome! It's a mario ds holder!
Candy from the UK! I love candy, espicially candy from other countries.
I'm already eating some jelly tots as I type this.
Cool, 20 Questions. I'm always playing with this when I walk through the toy isle in wal mart. Now I have my own! And more candy!
BADASS! This is the coolest transformer I've ever seen. It's Skywarp!
And finally here's mario holding my DSi. I was actually playing Spirit Tracks when I heard a knock at my door, so once I opened Mario, he held it for me while I opened the rest of it.
My wife should be home in an hour and I'll take pictures of the real gift, if you catch my drift.

I should have just taken pictures of them in my room and sent those to you.

Sucks when you just get a statue.
I sent my Santee a few eggs, and I prayed to the small gods of Kinder that there were no puzzles therein.
Why did we ever leave you?
Canada too.
The US can't have them because the FDA deems it unsafe to sell food with non-food items inside.
