No LEGO this year, but then again what LEGO would I get? I got most of my KK2 stuff earlier in the year.

I did get lots of help to buy a new car, mine got totalled in a wreck about two weeks ago hehe. So thats the best christmas gift I can ask for right now.

LEGO will wait til summer when my pocket is heavy again with cash.

HM: A Wonderful Life is the GC version.

I heard both suck and will be waiting for the new GC one that looks cool.

Oh yeah...I traded Save the Homeland in a few months ago...I hate this A Wonderful Life game...every second in realtime is a minute in the game...the map of the town is hard to follow...the characters creep me out...I have no idea what is going on...and I thought Nami was a dude...

I agree with you on the part quality of the Dueling Club...though I have always thought it was overpriced...

Well lets see. I got Vladek encounter and one of those new pirate sets from Mike, only for pieces though. I got a little Bionicle set (boring), a used technice set that was complete from my sister, and a mini Star Wars set. Sign not much, and my Christmas money won't even get to buy Lego, I have a computer to pay off, so no good Lego, (sigh).

I'll take it! The Kikanalo that came with Toa Lhikan is one of the most awesome beasts that Lego has ever designed! I just recently had him obliterate Mr. Maxifig Santis, so Bionicle is useful for at least one thing :)

All I got Legowise was the aforementioned Toa Lhikan and Kikanalo, along with the Shrieking Shack. I have to say that I'm much more impressed with the Shack than I thought I would be.

I bagged:

Castle of Morcia

Vladek's Attack

Castle Wall

Some 600 assorted castle pieces from Ebay

A Lord of the Rings chess set

Some 30$ in cash and gift cards.

Just some advice, should I build Castle of Morcia?

Well, *I* didn't get any Lego. My brother did though, and that pretty much means me :wink:

There was the Large Classic Train collection
A small basketball set (can't remember which, neither do I want to)
and this... strange... set here

There was also alot of track and other train accessories.

I got four books, a backscratcher, a wallet, and a sweater in addition to some $150 worth of cash/gift cards/checks
