Well, like the other topic, but heres another question, one that can't be forgotten. What didn't you get for christmas you wanted?

As for me, really the only thing I still need is a movie camera.

The Republic Fighter tank. :hmpf_bad:

It turns out the set I found in my toy box(check the What you expect under the tree this year! topic) wasn't a set, just a very brightly colored box. :cry_sad:

WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!!!

Just joking.

I had a good year for lego this christmas. I think I got pretty much everything I wanted although it would've been nice to get the new rebel battlepack.

A DVD of one of the seasons of Kingswood Country. But then again, it's almost impossible to find that show now...

Please don't tell me you shampoo the hub caps on your car or tell your friends to leave the money on the fridge or you have your favorite chair that no one else is allowed to sit in.

Well I wished for Home One from TRU !

HOPE EVERYONE HAS HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS !!!!!!

I'm not sure if this counts, but I got an IOU Freeco Bike from my friend. He crossed out the box art on a Clone Battle Pack and scribbled in outlines of the set and figures. It was simple but hilarious. :laugh: I technically didn't get the set yet, so does that count?

I'm not sure if I missed anything else, I didn't ask for much this year. (Usually I end up with piles of rattling boxes, but this year only one.)

I did not get the Endor set, I thought my wife was going to get it for me, but I think I have a much of cash waiting for me from my side of the family so I can buy it myself.

Oh how Ive wanted to get this out.

I know I really shouldn't be selfish but I am quite angry. I wanted a Ipod Touch 32GB for Christmas and my mum said "No, Thats way too expensive" and I said "Come on mum, I know you have lots of money" Anywho, she said "Wait till you get your Christmas money, you can go in the sales" as usual. Then I went Sutton with my mum because she needed help. I saw alot of stuff I liked, I saw a nice Pierre Cardin Black long overcoat with a nice velvety interior. And it was £100, I understand my mum wouldn't buy that even if she was a millionaire, See, She was brought up by my nan to respect money, well thats her excuse. She's probably just scared of being poor, I don't know how losing £100 from a £50,000 income each year will bankrupt but anywho. I was angry, then we came back a week later and It was on sale...Down to £80. I said to my mum "Can you get it for Christmas?" and as expected "What? At that price? Wait till the sales it will be £50" "No it won't!" "You just see".

Then I saw a BB Gun in this shop, I wasn't gonna use the BB's but it would have been nice to have a P90 Toy gun to put on a shelf. But once again "Mum can I get it?" "It doesn't have a price tag, let me check" She asks and the bloke says "Its 34 quid, like all the others" I said "Can I then?" "No, you can get it cheaper online"... £34 POUNDS?!!!! I was steaming. I then went to ASDA's down the bottom of the highstreet to get some Christmas food and Wrapping paper. I said to my mum "Ill be in the toy section." "Ok, Im round here" I went there and saw some Star Wars sets, The Droid tank, Battle packs e.t.c and some Power Miners and the one set I was looking to eventually by, The 7685 Bulldozer. I really wanted to transform it into a Tank. And yet again "Can I get this? Its £20." "No your just buying it for the sake of buying it, I mean, you don't use City or construction stuff". I was so angry, I actualy thought of picking up a shovel in the garden section and....

That sounds horrible but It was a short outburst. It was £20...T-w-e-n-t-y pounds....

Eventually I brought some things from TK Max, A nice statue, a big book on WWII e.t.c. And my mum said "Put this away for Christmas yeah?" "If I have tooo...". Now I thought these were gonna be small presents and such, but they were the main presents...If you look at the video, you will see my strange fake laugh. :grin:

I eventually recieved, A MP3 Speaker, A star wars trivia DVD game, 2 rings (One was a cat, because I like cats but seriously mum, When am I gonna wear that?) and a Thick "King" ring. I also got a very nice Pocketwatch, some smithys (Dedorant/Hair wash/Colone e.t.c.) and a Remote control helicopter. When I opened my last present I said "So is there more in the back room?" "No?" "Oh...". At that moment my heart sank, I really thought my mum had tricked my and really secretly gotten me the coat and the Ipod but I misjudged completely the wrong way. One of the annoying things was, I really put thought into what I got her and my family. I bought my dad a framed Newspaper from 1966 just after the England World Cup win. I got my brother a "Alone in the Dark" special edition game pack. I got my mum some card making craft kit she wanted. What did I get that I wanted?

Im pretty sure my mum didn't bother to choose presents wisely although she states she did. I don't wear rings, I don't really like Remote control things and when am I gonna use a MP3 Speaker if I don't have a good MP3? Now, Im not being stupid and selfish and a whiny baby but come on?! No Lego? No Ipod? No designer overcoat? :cry_sad:

Well I put on a brave face for the day although I really was quite bored out of my mind. I had nothing to play with, nothing to really use other than read the big book on the war when I was at my nans. We eventually watched Arsenic and Old Lace which as hilarious and once we got home, we split up and did our own things. I just wish I had gotten Lego or a game I could build or play with my family. And then remember how she said "Buy it with your own money after Christmas"? And how I wanted the Ipod Touch, Coat, BB Gun, Lego? I got £80 worth of money...That wouldn't even buy the coat...

Now Im making my Christmas sound terrible but It was good. I didn't feel very Christmasy, not because of the lack of presents I wanted, It was the feeling that it was too early. There wasn't that "warm" feeling you get...

Please don't think I'm ungrateful, I just really don't want to tell my mum my hidden feelings because she will feel really bad. And I woke up moody this morning, I couldn't hide the anger in me, But I had too, I eventually held the anger. Its just, I brought her a Craft set she wanted, she brought my nothing I wanted, Nothing I really use or will eventually use alot...It just makes me sad. But I'm a idiot thinking that. Its Christmas, Time to enjoy! I can't believe this is my longest post. I rambled on!

I didnt get any LEGO this Christmas ( never asked for any) but I had my hopes up on buying myself a new set of wheels for my car. I guess I'll wait till Spring or early Summer. :sceptic:

Hah, indeed. I think it's better not to ask something for Christmas, so you can't be disappointed. Actually, I don't think I've ever asked for a present! And after all, Christmas isn't about wanting. I want, want, want... It's about giving. :thumbup: Be happy that you can give, be happy that you got presents... Because there are a lot of people who can't do either!

I didn't get Endor, 1 of the Clone Walker battle packs that I thought I was getting and Vaders Tie Fighter.

But I did get a book about the history of Lego and another book celebrating 30 years of the minifig :classic:
