the biggest thing this year was my whole family going in on a Nikon D3100 digital SLR - it's awesome.
i got a bunch of LEGOs - both surprising and not. basically all the sets i picked up at TRU when they had their B2G1F sale in september were wrapped up and given to me, but i got a few i didn't know i was getting, like the
1200 piece space shuttle and the newest incarnation of
slave I. i also got LEGO Harry Potter for Wii, which i can't wait to play!
then i got a bunch of LEGO sets at the LEGO Store for 50% off clearance on my birthday.

That sucks, DB. That sucks more than a fictional fatherfucker singling you out for a Channukah-long buttfuck session.
Add to mine some Amazon gift cards, X-Men First Class, and a bottle of wine. (My wife and sister-in-law both got into some wine they just discovered, and s-i-l gave one to me. Tastes like rotted grapes and piss to me. I hate wine.)

Hey, that's the gift that keeps on givin' all year.
I told her I wasn't worried about it. I can wait a few weeks.

Is that what that thread is about? Good thing I didn't actually read any of it as I saw it was created by a character with posts by characters. Those are always a skip for me.

Yay, you got my gift!

It occurs to me that I got toys, comic book movies, gift cards that will most likely be used on comics, and booze. That's like the perfect nerd haul, eh?
