Now that I have your attention

I wanted to start a thread to thank Marco for a wonderful Christmas gift I received in the mail yesterday

The card alone would have been more than enough - the writing An did in Chinese is so cool  




but along with the card was this little beauty ...












Not to put down any of my other gifts from my wife and family , but , this gift from Marco was by far the coolest thing I received this year

Julie and I are so over the moon with it that we don't even know where to begin to try and show our appreciation to Marco and An

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and perfect gift - lots of love from us to you


What really amazed us was that we actually have a small collection of Asian items in our China cabinet ...



which has a Chinese feel to it itself ...




and , although I believe Marco was aware that I am a fan of Asian art , I know he had no idea that we actually already have a small collection ...












so , as you can see , we already have a perfect place for the wonderful gift Marco and An



I started the thread off with this but would love to see some of the gifts the rest of you guys got for Christmas - it doesn't have to be Star Wars , just anything that you are particularly fond of

so what are you waiting for ?

Show us your Christmas Booty ...




And yes Alex , not only is a picture of your arse acceptable , I fully expect a ho , ho , hole picture

Wow......All I got was an Email from Marco


Seriously , that is awesome. I love the Terracotta warriors, just a marvel of that era. Very cool additional to your other stuff James!

I did get some SW related stuff for Christmas. Mostly modern items (coffee mug, slippers,etc)

I did get something I found very cool from my brother. Star Wars floor mats for the Mercedes. Now can I be a geek and a snob !!

Love the Terracotta warriors James they are awesome looking .

Those floor mats are cool that is what I need to go with the seat covers I have

Well for me aside from the SW from my SS, I got a few cool thing from my wife, She got me the star wars costume book I wanted and this beauty here to display my carded figures in plus what ever else I find to go in it.


along with that I got more painting brushes and paints plus model gear and some organizers and of course some cash. All in all we had a good Christmas.

It's always fun to see what goodies people get for Christmas!


I got lots of fun modern bits from my family -- the big 'Hero' scale X-Wing, Hallmark Vader ornament, 2015 calendar, 2 lego cases, The Jedi Doth Return book, Vader mug and more.



Here's me playing.



And finally, my Vader slippers!

Great to see that the Terracotta Army has safely arrived at your place, James.
We brought it back from Xi'an last year.

James and I know each other for a very long time, even before we both joined TIG. To me he is surely one of the friendliest guys around in the hobby, who has helped me numerous times. Here is just a great example. A real friend.

I felt this was the Christmas gift for you and Julie. And what a coincidence that it perfectly first with your other Chinese items. I had no idea you had a Chinese cabinet, it looks really good.
BTW: An will write something for you, concerning the coins in your cabinet.  

Cheers
Marco

Thanks for sharing your Christmas gifts, guys.

Great floor mat Stormie from your brother, John.

Larry: Great Star Wars custome book from your wife!

Jesse, your family is spoiling you with Star Wars.  
That X-Wing looks massive!

some very nice xmas booty there guys,

here's my modest little haul, not pictured though is a Haynes manual darth Vader T shirt and a pair of Vader socks (they were in the wash at the time)

A 31" Vader and a 4" black series Vader (which I'm still deciding whether to open or not?)

The other two items were from my amazingly generous secret santa  

I also got several blu-rays and a star wars annual

very cool scores guys love that X-Wing and Chris love the items the 31" Vader is cool eh and now they have four more just thought you would like to hear that lol I want to get them now as well.

very cool stuff guys - Thank You for showing us your booties


Yesterday I received a unexpected package from Canada

It was from our buddy Larry

I opened it to find 3 beautifully wrapped Christmas presents

2 were to me ...

This ...



and this ...




The Buckethead Dengar custom is super cool and would have been more then enough of a gift but to also give me a 1st series Walking Dead figure was unbelievable

I actually didn't have any of the 1st or 2nd series until Larry was too generous - I am so proud to add this guy to my collection

I posted some much better pics of the Buckethead figure in Larry's custom thread :

(BTW- the shirts I am wearing were Christmas gifts from my wife )


But , if that wasn't enough Larry and Crystal went overboard and sent this to my wife as well ...





A Coke Phone that fits perfectly into her collection (and it even works !!!)

Julie loves it guys and wanted me to let you know how appreciated it really is


I am overwhelmed with your generosity and I absolutely love everything you sent

Thank You again bro

Great gifts from Larry James. I really like the Coke phone, I've not seen one of those before & the custom of your favourite guitarist is very cool.

I am glad it all arrived bro and that Julie was happy with the phone I seen it and thought it was so cool we just had to get it for her collection. And coming up with Buckethead Danger that was a lot of fun and work but well worth it. Now got a few ideas for some other ones for the guys
