[The Josh]

[soundwave]

aren't you married?

I'm no longer married to Satan's sister, Thankfully!

I have a very nice girlfriend now...who keeps hinting at marriage!

I just want Scarlett Johansson under my Christmas tree (Hey, I can dream can't I?).

I'm married & I still want Scarlett Johansson / Natalie Portman / Imelda May / Dita Von Teese under my christmas tree
It's nice to have dreams...even if we know they'll never come true

Being more realistic though I'd just settle for...

Few Blu-Rays
Madden '12 on PS3
Cash towards some more Hot Toys goodness

That will do me.

This year is tough to come up with a list of things I want. Started a new job earlier this year so I've been able to buy the things I want now that I have a steady paycheck. There are some toys that are on my "list" of things I'm saving for, but most are too expensive to expect my friends/family/GF to get for me.

Who's Santa?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

My birthday is one week before Christmas, so I have two occasions for gifts next month.

I already have HT's Captain America on tap for my birthday from my wife, but I don't know what to ask for for Christmas. The real problem is the price of things nowadays.

For the last few years I had no problem asking my wife for a figure (even two) for my birthday and Christmas, since most of them were under $100 or just slightly above. Now most everything is $150 (if you find a bargain) and up!

I know if I ask I'll get what I want. My wife is very good to me in that way. But I can't justify the prices on these things anymore. It's one thing when you pay for them yourself. I work hard, and I earn whatever I decide to get. But when I ask my wife for a figure that costs over $200, I can barely look at myself in the mirror! For that kind of money you're in a whole other level of luxury goods like electronics that you will get much more use out of. You can get a Playstation or X-Box or iPhone or even a small TV for around the same price for pete's sake!

Anyway, I was debating between HT Superman (which I ended up canceling cos I felt the price was ridiculous, despite how good he came out), or Indy's Tanis Map Room environment which is even less than Supes! But I am really leaning towards just asking for something completely different outside of the 1:6 world.

Sorry for the long rant. Just thought I'd share.

I concur. I have no problem buying things for myself, but I always get nagged at around the holiday time because people are trying to figure out what to get me. And I feel guilty if someone buys me a $200 Hot Toys figure (I had to cancel Captain America because I'd rather have the Jack Sparrow DX, and it seems that they're both shipping around the same time).

yah this brings back some good memories i remember when i was in kindergarden this stupid kid was bragging that he was leaving cookies for santa and i told him santa doesnt exist and he was bought to tears and our teacher yelled at me for making him cry.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Seems kind of douchey to me.

That was me ______.

 

[quiggle]

well what a small world, you owe me then because i saved you from future ridicule later on if you were to have bought up Santa to say a bunch of no good on the brink of puberty 12 year olds.

 

[DiFabio]

I was FIVE ____ING YEARS OLD.

 

[quiggle]

thats what im saying if i didnt set you straight early on and you carry this into later life imagine the farce you would have been subject of, imagine telling youre prom date that you still believe Santa Clause exists.

Children who don't believe in Santa should be burned alive.
