    What's your holiday haul?

    I got Day to Night Barbie and a bunch of Masters of the Universe reaction figures. So, I'm pretty happy. What you get?
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            I got my dream Transformer...an imported Takara Masterpiece Megatron!

            He is HUGE and 100% G1 cartoon accurate...four interchangeable face plates...so awesome!

            (as a bonus it's without the ugly orange barrel plug required by U.S. customs) I took a pic of him last night.

                    Not my haul, but I got my wife several of the Forces of Destiny dolls/figures that she didn't have. I had gotten her the Leia and Artoo set for her birthday in August, and she really dug it, so I got her Rey & BB8, Jyn Erso, Sabine and the deluxe Leia and Ewok set as part of her Christmas haul. I also got her a Dobby Funko Pop formt he Harry Potter line as she constantly wishes we had a house elf

                    My haul was mostly comic trades and sketch art...

                    from my secret Santa on a classic comic forum I got these...



                    my wife got these for me as an early gift when local artist Adam Fields (who recently completed a sketch card set for an upcoming Marvel/Upper Deck set) was set up at a local shops annual warehouse sale a week ago...

                    he did sketch cards of Karza, Dr. Fate and Ghost Rider for me, plus had the Creature sketch for sale in his show stock...



                    she also got me a couple of retro Star Wars tee-shirts (using stock art as I haven't had a chance to take pics of stuff unwrapped today





                    and the following trades...

                    Golden Age Wonder Woman Vol. 1
                    Ragnarok Vol. 1 by Walt Simonson
                    Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 3 and 5 (completing all 7 Fantagraphics volumes for me)
                    Bone Sharps, Cowboys & Thunder Lizards by Jim Ottovani



                    a comic about the golden age of Paleontology and the wild west competitive nature of the early finds.

                    I am also getting the Dr. Strange diorama piece from Schliech...



                    but it is on hold for me at out local shop and my wife didn;t have a chance to get there before the holiday, so we'll pick it up this coming week.

                      the only thing slightly geeky i received was a Paul Naschy box bluray set.

                      I honestly prefer gifts like socks because then i don't have to buy socks.

                      With the kids being teens now, this Christmas was totally toy free save for some JLU guys i got my son, I am a little sad about that but what can you do?

                        I got the DC Collectibles Batman Animated Tim Drake Robin, and the JLU Gray Ghost that I somehow missed 10 years ago.

                        I also received the two chase figures from Funko's Batman 66 line, the screen test Batman and Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze!

                        Two nice books came to me. Tales of the Batman by Len Wein (which includes a nice reprint of my beloved Untold Legend of the Batman) and Batman: The Complete Sunday Strips hardcover.

                        For movies I received the Transformers: The Movie on Blu-Ray (FINALLY!) and a double feature of Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror from Amicus! Plus Baby Driver, which I think was just as equally for Cindy, who gave it to me.

                        Andrew got more teen stuff like games, but he still received some action figures he was after to set up in his room. Lots of Marvel Select and Marvel Legends figures, including a 3.75" 7-pack of Spider-Man vs. the Sinister Six. When we found that for $15 (!) on Amazon, I told Cindy I thought it was really cool, so she got me a set too.

                        Dani got LEGOS. Tons and tons of Legos, including the Boost programmable robot, and the massive Joker Mansion from The Lego Batman Movie. She's already built both!!!

                        We had a great Christmas. Sounds like you guys did too!

                          We gave mom’s caregiver a $500 Christmas bonus.

                          All my family and friends know I don’t like gifts. Feed me, offer me some beer, just no gifts.

                            I pretty much buy my own gifts. My wife and daughter wrap them up for me.

                            Tons of Blu Rays... too many to list
                            A few t shirts
                            Last Jedi books
                            Close Encounters Making of Book
                            Elvira "Coffin Table" Book
                            and a swell book about Holiday horror films called "Yuletide Terror"

                              I love reading about all the gifts; I'm really really touched by the neat narratives. I'm such a big geek kid during the holidays. I'm always surrounded by too much food, too many wonderful nerd gifts, and this year, I'm already one week into "a long winter's nap." I know I am a bit late to the Mego Star Trek party, but I have been secretly eying the EMCE Trek bridge re-release since it first hit the market. I have now received it for Christmas; I'm unbelievably excited about it this year. I only have a few original T2 Star Trek figures: Kirk, Uhura & Spock. I don't have any EMCE 8" figures...well, yet. I've been watching and re-watching the Enterprise reviews and old Mego commercials; I finally saw one at retail, & it came my way. The set triggers old memories of my cousin who had Spock & Kirk: I always thought that bright horizon blue Spock shirt was a perfect brilliant hue. This has been quite a season for me to think back about happy childhood memories. I'm simply so thankful.
