For real, though, this is awesome. My wife and I were going to get the dimensions set for our kids, but money didn't work out super great for that aspect of the plan. And if we did get it, I was planning on buying the dr who set for my wife since she and I play the lego games together. So your aim was super good!
Awesome! I was actually having a little bit of an anxiety thing with that wondering how well on the mark that would be, glad to hear it! :P
Hope you and your family have an awesome Christmas!

Thanks a ton for everything! You went way above and beyond. I'd post pictures of built things but I'm going to surprise the kids with it Friday
I did not want to buy another game where you collect toys after my sons lost interest in Skylanders. I'm not I'm not I'm not.
Even for Doctor Who. >_<
Dr who
Portal
Simpsons
Scooby Doo
The list goes on!
The game is like a sniper shotgun aimed directly at the wallets of nerd-dom.
I've thus far managed to avoid the temptation through not realizing it was available for the 360, but now that I've looked it up... damn.

I bought my wife the doctor who set as soon as it came out, even though we didn't have the actual game. She's a Lego AND Doctor Who fanatic, so it was an easy decision. Now I got my son the Wii-U Dimensions game for Christmas and I'm fighting the urge to "make sure it works" before he opens it. But yeah, the collections are all in my "MUST BUY" zone.

I've been trying not to purchase the actual Doctor Who set, but we did get Portal and the Doctor Who bit for the Lego game. Seriously though, that game is pretty great. Pretty sure I'm going to be super poor now.
So, to set the stage; a couple of weekends ago, I was at a Star Wars event and musing over the fact I didn't have a Star Wars shirt anymore. LITERALLY the next day, this arrives!
It happened to arrive at the same time as another gift, so there was some initial confusion as to whom it actually came from.
Well today that confusion was totally resolved;
And funnily enough, I actually have a big holiday event coming up with friends where there will be tons of food, drink, and casual games being played, so this will get a test run soon with my usual crew!
Thank you so much, @DiannaoChong, for your thoughtful gifts and being an awesome Santa!
Man oh man. Cartwheel is doing 40% off on the base Lego Dimensions game thru tomorrow and I have to go to Target anyway because I have no wrapping paper.....decisions...

I'm late with this, but I got some gifts! We just recently got to bring our daughter home from the nicu, so for the past month I haven't really had much time for anything else, but she's doing well and we're home and just in time for Christmas!
I got some audio books!
Looking forward to the Mario one and letting my son listen to winnie the pooh. I don't know anything about the third, but I'll try it out!
I also got some music!
Never heard of MC Lars, but I'll give it a listen!

A package arrived at my door while I was out last minute shopping in 60 degree sunny weather in Montreal on Christmas Eve.
Thank you @Goose!, Wreck-it Ralph is also one of my favorite movies.
As for Munchkin ever since I've gifted it a couple of years back I've always kept an interest in playing the game. Today I bought the game for my sister-in-law as a Christmas gift and you bought it for me. Thank you very much and the coincidence is really funny.
Since I know you're all on the edge your seats I did go to Target at 8am this morning and pick up the base game for Lego Dimensions and the Portal Expansion. I didn't want to stop there, but I thought I should hold off and see if anyone actually liked the game before I drained my bank account for minifigures and little vehicles.
Soooooo like all men over 30 I just got back from last minute Xmas shopping and in my case all my Xmas shopping. To find a box addressed to me! I have skipped ahead where I freak out and open the box to be fulllllllll of packing peanuts which ends up being a theme. But it does start with a awesome note which I included some friends to help me open:
I followed the instructions and it gave me the idea of what to Expect. The hints I offered was I liked things Local, and Board Games. What I got was everything. As you can see I got Rootbeer which is currently in the fridge for my overnight shift tonight.
In the Green Tin, it's fulllllll of peanut butter cookies!! Also a giant thing of peanuts, which goes along with the next part. I have snacks and Drinks. The next package to my delight I couldn't help but rip open the wrapping paper but I assure you it was the most awesome Star Wars Wrapping Paper a 31 year old could ask for: What was inside you ask:
Everything I need to do to play the Star Wars X-Wing Mini game. This game has been on my Radar for a loooooooooooooooong time but never had a chance. I got pretty much everything and more to do a 2 player or even 3 player game. I am so excited because this is the type of game a friend of mine and I played in college and he will be coming up in a week. This is going to be an awesome Xmas.
Xmas is usually lame for me and like every year the Secret Santa gifts me that boost to enjoy the Holiday. Thank you soooooooooo much Santa, you have made this 31 year old's Holiday!
Thank you again Happy Holidays to you and your Family.
I got a stomach bug and have been unable to attend to many of my holiday duties, but rest assure that Christmas Cheer will be arriving next week. Consider it...dessert for Christmas.
Super glad everything arrived on-time! Please let me know if the cookies end up being a little ... tough. I baked them on a new baking sheet this time and the ones I brought to the office ended up being way less good after a day than they normally are. Not sure if I accidentally overmixed, the sheet performed differently, I overbaked, or if it's because I used crunchy instead of my normal smooth peanut butter. If they are, please blame the pastry chef and not the recipe, which is, seriously, the best recipe for peanut butter cookies I've ever found.
Also, welcome to my gaming addiction. May the Force be with you!

I personally feel like, even if you don't listen to hip hop, you'll probably like that album. Rock the Bells is amazing, Flow Like Poe is amazing, Mr. Raven is amazing ... yeah, whole EP is amazing.

Is that a typo, or have I been sleep gifting?
I remember the Humble Jumbo Bundle 5, the NeoGeo Humble Bundle, the box I sent out with Zelda and taffy, and this bundle. (dear god, somebody stop Humble Bundle before I gift again...)
Unless you're not counting in base 10, I think I may be missing a few... wait a minute, I think I see what's going on here...
You've been being gifted by other Santas, haven't you? You monster, I thought we had something special.
Glad you liked them @Bear is Driving! I got a bit of a giggle out of you saying you wouldn't open them until Christmas, knowing they were christmas ornaments. Merry Christmas everyone!
Who is the one that got the find "waldo" book, but it wasn't waldo? I was going to show to wife.
Also, I wired up the steam link. It is now in place with Ethernet wiring. I have my old wireless keyboard and mouse via usb hooked up.
@DyasAlure do you mean the 'Where's the Doctor?' book I got? Phone posting so too much effort to dig up the post link but you should be able to easily dig it out of my posting history.
My pleasure! I was mildly concerned you already had it, as there's no way to track what boardgames someone has... but, what's stalking without a little risk?

@see317 I meant to type "what felt like the twelfth time".
Hey Santa! I'm not home yet, but I have someone taking care of my cats, and rumour has it that there's a delivery notice waiting for me there! I get back on Monday, so I'm hoping I get to write up a big Gift Get post for you to see then!
The images are kind of big so I've but them in the above Imgur album link!
With that and a Steam gift of "This War of Mine" I can't thank you enough! The ceramics looks awesome.
So I knew you had these coming as I talked with @Farangu a bit after receiving my gift, and let me assure that while I think his was perfect, how big a fan I am of Dark Souls means I am ludicrously jealous of your gifts. They're amazing. Which is apparently the least you can say about is incredibly talented wife. ^_^
MERRY (late) CHRISTMAS EVERYONE~

Cool, It's been a stressful couple of weeks here with some family stuff, was worried I'd have an unexpectedly steep bill coming my way.
I don't know if sleep Santaing is a possible side effect of stress, but I wouldn't put it past me.
