The Official toonzone Holiday Haul Thread of 2010!

[Daxdiv]

Well, it's that time of year again, the time where you tell us what you got for Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Decemberween, or whatever holiday you celebrate. so post away. I'll start off and list what I got from my family.

Video Games

Fable 3
Dead Rising 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns

DVDs

Despicable Me/Minion Madness combo pack
Toy Story 3
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Venture Bros Season 1
Venture Bros Season 3
Venture Bros Season 4 Volume 1
The Best of the Super Mario Bros: Super Show!

Clothing

2 Packs of Boxers,
Some Fancy Socks
Remington Electric Razor
6-1 Fleece Hood

And that's what I got for Christmas from my family. I'm only missing one item from the list, my copy of Mario Vs Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem. Other than that, I say I made out good this year. So my fellow toonzoners, what did you get this year?

 

[defunctzombie]

Umm...

Mario All Stars
Force Unleashed 1 (360)
Pink Wii remote plus
Darkside Chronicles (got a month ago but was technically a present)
Off brand Wii remote + chuck

$20

bunch of socks from relatives
makeup from relatives

Every year they get me makeup and yet they know I don't wear it. I can use it for Halloween, though.

I might use the cash for the new Family Guy Star Wars if I can find it cheap somewhere.

 

[The Huntsman]

Uh... two shirts, a pair of pants and Earth (The Book). Family's never been big on Christmas. Not rich enough to splurge, especially in the current economic situation.

 

[DarthGonzo]

Epic Mickey
LEGO Wii remote
A new tool box
A drawing pad and some markers
An engraved beer mug
Macy's gift cards
Best Buy gift card
Dunkin' Donuts gift cards
Applebees gift card
Home Depot gift card
Amazon.com gift card
Some Lindt chocolate

...so far, at least.

 

[Juu-kuchi]

Nothing much special this year but a good haul nonetheless:

-Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (PS3)
-3-D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
-Yakuza 3 (PS3)
-$15 iPod gift card
-A new belt
-A Boston-themed t-shirt again from my aunt in Boston
-Individual DVD releases of the original Star Wars trilogy (which I already have sadly enough XD)
-$100 in cash.

But still, a decent haul.

 

[Marvin Tikvah]

Already mentioned the games in the Video Game board, but for the non-game hauls...

- Mattel WWE Figures: Chavo Guerrero and Hornswoggle, Beth Phoenix in her Royal Rumble appearance, Melina, and Batista. Also a Jakks 2 pack of William Regal and Pirate Paul Burchill.
- Toy Story 3 Woody and Buzz. The Buzz seems like the same one from the first 2 movie releases, which is a bit disappointing. Woody seems a lot closer to his movie representation though.
- A Knuckles RC vehicle based on Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing.
- An Auxillary Trax Wolf Ranger from the 2009 Power Rangers RPM toy line
- 4 pairs of socks.
- a 2GB Memory Stick. Actually a Mini-SD, but it comes with an adaptor for PSP use.
- Most importantly, a T-Mobile Gravity T phone. Didn't ask for one, but my phone has been on the brink of death for a month now and finally gave up a few days ago. It had a good run, and hopefully this one lasts as long as the last did.

Not bad, but it certainly makes me feel incredibly childish. They'll certainly give my apartment room a little more life though.

Also felt like mentioning what I got my family as well:

Spoiler

Sister: Pokemon SoulSilver
Oldest sister: 30 dollar Starbucks gift card
Brother: The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Cavemen from the Future
2nd Brother: Nintendo Points/PSN card
Older brother: iTunes gift card
Mom: Dual planning board for her office and helped her pick out a new Desktop computer.
Dad: 40 dollar Subway gift card
Girl cousin: One of those Percy Jackson books and a planner
Boy cousin: Nintendo points card and Mario posters
Cousins on my dad's side: Super Mario All-Stars Wii and some sweaters and an iPod Shuffle.

 

[Darklordavaitor]

Just opened up my stuff, which led to a pretty solid haul. I got my first gift last night, Donkey Kong Country Returns, which I was trying out last night, but here's the rest.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Epic Mickey
How I Met Your Mother seasons 1 & 2
The Simpsons season 6 & 8
Fantasia Anthology
The Hangover
Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing volumes 1 & 2
Amazing Spider-Man Essentials volume 3
Agalloch- Marrow of the Spirit
The Smiths- The Queen is Dead
A bunch of clothing
Shaving cream and body lotion

Plus 90% certainty for Iron Maiden tickets in April. I'm surprised at all that I got, but I'm very happy overall.

Also, my Wii is finally hooked up online and I know that Demi Lovato is going to spend Christmas with her family, so this is already a great Christmas.

 

[Shiloh Otter]

So far, only an Amazon gift card from my mom.

I've used part (actually, most) of that already, on Toy Story 3 (Blu-Ray), a plush Care Bear (don't laugh, please) and some various medicine.

Also got $10 from mom's husband which I'll probably just use for food.

I'll post again later if I have anything more to add. Highly doubt it though; we can't really afford to do all we used to.

 

[Manga4life]

Okay, here is the list....

A new Chicago Bulls hoodie
A pair of grey sweatpants
A pair of basketball sneakers (Kobe V)
A $50 giftcard to Olive Garden
Lot's of assorted candies
Dragon Age Origins for the XBoX 360
Tickets to a basketball game
A new watch
An electronic Snoopy playing the Piano with Woodstock sitting on top of it
Some accessories for my car, including a voucher for 4 new tires + mounting at a local card repair shop.

All in all I think I made out pretty good this year, I enjoyed everything I recieved and I loved the looks on peoples faces when they got what I had purchased them.

Merry Christmas!

 

[Classic Speedy]

-A framed picture of my grandpa's old farm (he passed away earlier this year, so we've been getting some of his stuff)

Dad's present made me jealous, though: He got that newly-released, massive Johnny Carson collection.

 

[purplehairedwonder]

Our Christmas was much smaller this year--our second Christmas without my dad and my sister is living with her husband in Australia--but I made off real well from my brother, mother, and uncle. I got:

Aaaaaand...

[Michael24]

Let's see . . .

Main Grab:
* The A-Team (Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack)
* Psycho (2-Disc Special Edition)
* Lego Indiana Jones 2 (PS3)
* Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (PS3)
* Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (PS3)

* Logitech computer speakers
* Imagination Studio Suite 2

Stocking Stuffers:
* $15 iTunes gift card
* Pack of Post-It notes
* Four-pack of Pilot Precise V5 pens (I love these pens!)

And since it was just two days before Christmas . . .

Birthday Haul:
* Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition)
* Jennifer Love Hewitt's Music Box, Vol. 1
* Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

The computer was the biggest surprise of the morning. I've been in need of one for awhile, but wasn't quite ready to make the switch right now. I also wish my brother hadn't gotten me the Imagination Studio program for it (especially after learning how expensive it was), because it's got more stuff than I'll probably ever use. Still, it'll be nice being able to use the computer moments after turning it on compared to waiting about thirty minutes before I can use it without lagging issues. LOL!

Hope everybody had a great Christmas morning.
