No, that's not a problem with an image.

Are mommy and daddy mad? Is that why you got nuthin' for Christmas? Ain't you been nuthin' but bad?

I got nothing for Christmas because my parents are both dead, my brother has his own family to worry about, and I am both single and in a completely different state.

I was going to say that you got a White Christmas.

Most notably, I got the Lego sets for Krennic's shuttle and the tank from Rogue One.

My son got tons, mostly Minecraft, Disney Infinity, and Lego Dimensions stuff.

Not in Florida, I didn't...

We didn't either. Just wind and rain back here.

I got a white Christmas in Florida... There was fog all over the place.

Well, I got a bit.

A few Lego, some stuff for the house (a pasta maker and a water fountain for my alcove bromeliad garden), few bits of jewellery, and two items for costuming- an Elven style crown so now I'm going to have to make an Elven dress, and both hubby and I got Death's cloak pins from Discworld and more specifically Hogfather, so we can do our Death and Susan cosplays :D

Most amazingly, Hubby's family gave us a wood and wrought iron table and four chairs set, with the top of the table covered in photos of us, our family and friends and sealed in a thick layer of resin. Very clever and very special.

So far I've gotten a bracelet (from my old boss), a bottle of julmust (because nobody else wanted to drink it), and an egg (because Kaitou decided that Christmas was a great time to lay eggs. Pfft, birds.  ::) ).

Two pairs of Stance Star Wars socks, lightsaber stands, Star Wars and Harry Potter ties, lightsaber keychain, Funko Pop Chirrut Îmwe bobble head, Stormtrooper piggy bank (save up for more Ultra Sabers  :D) and a late Christmas present coming later this week, the Arbiter saber with Obsidian V4 sound in Tri-Cree Fire Orange. I'm looking forward to doing a full review on the Arbiter when I get it, but here are some picks of those lightsaber stands:

Merry Christmas, and may the Force be with us all.

Came in this wave

I know, and I have yet to see ANY of those in stores.

I've seen Leia and Kenobi at Think Geek   thats it

Lol. Could be like my wedding photographer (who I discovered was a HUGE SW fan after I asked if they were okay with photographing us and our lightsabers :P ) who has a standing order of one of every single one produced (all the figs that is not just black series) and an entire room dedicated just to those :P

Best bet if you want to find that kind of stuff- find yourself a good local supplier, and hit up your local toy and collectors fairs/ swap meets/ whatever they call them there. We get almost all of our model kits from the one store, and because we are really good customers I automatically get one of each SW bandai model set put aside for me and messaged to let me know its arrived, and he lets us know about new models into store that he thinks we will like before advertising to the general public, and he usually does pretty good prices on stuff. Sure, I could get some of them on Ebay direct from Japan cheaper, but I like to support a local, and he has gone from being just an online store who turned up at the toy fairs, to operating out of the front room of a house with a small shop, to having just moved into decent sized shop front- and with the support of big Asian sponsors they also run a local con and he is planning to run build days one or twice a month for people to come in and socialise and work on their models.

He got in a set of Halo figurines we've been wanting but we hadn't told him, held them off show for a bit, told us about them and did them for half the price as a Boxing Day special (a bit like your Black Friday, except it is the day after Christmas here) except we got them before then and he sold them stupidly cheap compared to anywhere else :P He also does regular trips to Japan and will actively keep an eye out for kits you are chasing and get them for you :) He looks after the local community, and we look after and are loyal to him ;D works both ways! But if you can find yourself someone great like that, then it's a great way to get what you want.... and spend an awful lot of money....

My bro works at Game stop they got Two Revans and a Sabine .....he pulled a Revan for himself and the manager pulled the other.

That's the issue..they short pack some of the figures and cause a scalpers dream
