oh ive seen them all before, I just never got around to getting them on DVD
Series one and two are my favorite
It's a blast from the past. I was trying to point out that it's possible it won't live up to your childhood memories. It certainly didn't for me. Who hasn't watched the TV series at one point?
You are a fucking awesome person and may crown yourself King of Awesometopia and stand on top of a flying mountain of gold and proclaim all that you see your Rapedom.
I just got my package in the mail and it contains THREE Neil Gaiman books; the first three volumes in the Sandman series. For those not in the know, I have not read ANY Neil Gaiman and I was wanting to correct this problem. This rocks and I'm so excited to start reading.
Whoever got me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Inventory:
A Prinny fleece cap. I've really, really wanted one of these - my Prinny plushie is wearing it right now.
A bag of sponge candy - I can't enjoy it right now (biiiiig canker sore), but I assure as soon as that's gone I'm going to dig in.
A bunch of tasty, tasty suckers.
Zombie Survival Guide. Almost picked this up at Borders the other day, now I'm glad I didn't.
And last, but not least, a HUUUUUUUGE print of Todd Lockwood's Silver Dragon picture. :shock: Absolutely outstanding - it's going to go very well with my other dragon posters. Thank you again!
I just want to say that everyone that participated in this thing is awesome. Lot's of quality gifts, and it's just mindblowing that people put effort into gifts that for many are just strangers.
I can feel the love people.

My Prinny and Etna look at the haul in awe.
You're welcome! I'm glad I went with the Prinny hat, and not the Etna PVC model, as it looks like you already have one! Just be careful with that hat, throwing it around and such. I love the wings on the back of it.
If you enjoy the ZSG, don't hesitate to pick up World War Z which is mentioned frequently in this thread. It rocks, hard.
And you have no idea how hard it was waiting for the Lockwood print to arrive with all those Parkside suckers sitting right next to the computer for like two weeks. I did not eat a single one. :winky:
No really. I didn't. I bought a couple extras for myself!

Awesome! Many more thanks to you.
An amusing addendum - I received a note in my mailbox that I had a package to pick up downtown at the main post office. Now, I don't have a car, but I do have a bicycle...
Biking uphill for a mile while balancing the package on my handlebars only made the contents inside that much more worthwhile.
I bought my first gift tonight... hopefully I'll have it all put together & ready to ship by the weekend.
First I enjoyed looking forward to something showing up for me in the mail. Then I enjoyed the hell out of spending a night reading through WWZ. Now I get to enjoy trying to pick some unique & fun gifts for a stranger. This is the thread that just keeps on giving...
I admire your confidence in the Christmas postal system
Fuck that. Fedex ftw.
Man, so I thought... FedEx wanted $250 to ship my package to its Santee in England. UPS wanted $225. I went with the good ol' USPS for a modest $50. It should still get there before Christmas, if just barely. In short: big business is holding Christmas hostage!

Other favorites of mine are Triple Take-Over, Trans-Europe Express, Starscream's Brigade, Revenge of Bruticus, Call of the Primitives and, of course, The Return of Optimus Prime.
I love the 2005 episode where Hot Rod and the rest are cloned into humans (not Pretenders), and at the end it turns of that Cobra Commander was behind the whole cloning ordeal.

Holy shit, what are you sending him, a brick?
Not just a brick, clearly!
(Not so much the weight, as the size -- according to the girl at the post office, anyway.)

astroboy, you are truly a gentlemen amongst gentlemen. The package contained (sorry no pics) -
-Wii Classic Controller (you read my mind, man - been looking all over for this)
-2000 Wii point card (classic game whore that I am, this is more than appreciated)
-Two delicious flavors of pocky (seriously, who doesn't like pocky?)
Thank you so much for the gifts, astroboy. I hope you and your family have a very good holiday.

YAAAAY! Mission accomplished!
From what I could cull from your posts, I was at a loss for what might interest you except for Wii stuff. I was a little afraid you might already have the controller, but I'm glad it worked out.
The Pocky turned out to be a last minute addition. I felt the controller and points card seemed a bit naked, so I threw those in, too.
Merry Christmas, Graviija! It was a pleasure being your Santa!
P.S. - You're not secretly that guy from Lost, are you?
yeah so, my santee really should have got their giftby now. I'm a tad worried.
My package was delivered to my Santee on Monday.
But he hasn't posted since several days before that.
We have a man MIA
I propose not acknowledging gift receipt by the 31st should also be a SUPER-PERMABAN!!!
(but seriously, it is really frustrating to know it arrived and not have any acknowledgement, although it's usually got agood reason)
Hmm, on Dec 31st we should all gather with torches and burn the houses of the unresponsive. We have their addresses, after all. It will be the best New Year's Eve ever!
(Also but seriously, it's a hectic time for a lot of folks. I, for one, will be visiting family and away from my home address from the 20th to the 1st, so if I don't get my gift by then I will be one of the unresponsive!)

I concur! I just happen to have a garage full of pitchforks and gasoline soaked rags on sticks. There's plenty for everyone! Merry Christmas!
From the frozen throes and igloos of Ontario, Forar made my entire December with his perfect gift of Break'em All for the DS.
By perfect I mean exactly the game I've been meaning to get, not only for myself because I'm old enough to fondly BreakOut from way back in my Atari days, and secondly because my daughter will absolutely dig this game now that she's taken over the DS as primary entertainment.
[pics coming soon]
Forar, thank you kindly, and I hope you have a great Christmas

Oh, and to my Santee: I haven't forgotten about you, don't worry. Life has been more than hectic for me the past month or so, but I'll be shipping goodies out next week, ASAP.
Last week, I got a book by one of my idols, Thurston Moore.
After grinning like an idiot for a while, I logged on to express my undying gratitude to my Santa, only to learn -- shock!! -- there was more on the way.
My Santa totally fucking outdid himself and sent me a goddamn robot dinosaur. It's over two feet long, and it terrifies my cat. Moreover, he included batteries in the box! What a class act.
A++++ GREAT SANTA, WOULD LEAVE COOKIES AGAIN, ASSET TO PENNY-ARCADE!!
Meanwhile, my Santee's present should be going out Friday. After getting the order ready, it crossed my mind that he seems to be quite the connoisseur and might have this title already. If that's the case, I certainly won't be offended if he pawns it off on a friend to get something else, but hopefully this game slipped under his radar the first time.
I never thought it would happen, but another man has just creamed my pants.
Wunderbar has to be put in the top gift givers for this year. The unusual package size alone made the trip to and from the post office worth the secret exchange buzz. The bounty that was found insisde this "almost crate size" thing was impossible to expect.
Weaponry, Snowmen and Cyborg Wolf interfaces. All of it USB friendly.
Worthy pictures to come very very soon.
Thankyou Wunderbar. Even my girlfriend could not wait until I came home to open the thing, both of us are quite satisfied
Good god! I just got a box from a certain unnamed santa, and it's the best christmas gift I've ever had the pleasure of receiving! I'm not exaggerating either, this blew me away. Behold:
I think I just won christmas A thousand thanks dear santa, whoever you are, this really made my day. I've wanted Elite Beat Agents for so long but somehow I never made it as far as to import it. This was my number 1 most wanted DS game, thanks again santa! As for the pins, I absolutely adore them, what perfect conversation starters
Really looking forward to reading the Hulk book as well, I share the apartment with a huge comic book buff and I think he just went green ( :roll: ) with envy upon seeing my awesome gift.
Ok. It's been 20 pages since this post, but my santa has yet to reveal himself. How come, santa :?:

To be fair, not all of us are at home right now. Myself, I am currently visiting my mom in Virginia, I won't be home till January 6th. Though I do check in with my housemates to see if anything has arrived, I don't wish my Santa to be unappreciated.

You are quite welcome Frugus. I bought a snowbot for myself as well, he's sitting on my computer. I fully admit....the weaponry was very hard to give away.

Rock the fuck on, good sir. Rock the fuck on!
I collected the whole series month by month as it originally appeared. Good stuff.

Yea, I didn't mean the entire series. The first three books IN the series.
Goddamn do these look awesome.

I don't mind waiting, but I'm sorry your joy of seeing my joy will be delayed. I'll be sure to be extra joyous when I do rip open the package though.
