The Official toonzone Holiday Haul Thread of 2010!

[DarthGonzo]

Mario Kart yets you use a couple different controllers.. I kept losing until I figured out you can use a nunchuck instead to steer.

You can use the steering wheel, the Wii remote without the steering wheel, the Wii remote+nunchuck, the classic controller or the Gamecube controller. You get a lot of options with this game.

Large glass mixing / storing bowls
Light Robe
Heavy Robe

The combination Printer / Scanner was the most wanted thing on my list. I'm looking forward to being able to print stuff again and scan drawings.

I used about half of the cash buying Animaniacs boxsets 2 and 3 and Pinky and the Brain boxsets 1 and 2 off of Amazon. Each of them were on sale for about 18 bucks.

 

[GWOtaku]

Oh ho, let's see....

Books:
Truman by David McCullough
Truman and MacArthur: Policy, Politics, and the Hunger for Honor and Renown by Michael D. Pearlman
Valley Forge: George Washington and the Crucible of Victory by Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen, and Albert S. Hanser
The Fatal Conceit by F.A. Hayek

Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy

Video Games:
Okami for the Wii
And with holiday money: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Alpha Protocol for the PC. For killer deals too. Awesome.
Also, Sin and Punishment: Star Successor for Wii.

On Blu-Ray:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Jet Li's Fearless (highly recommended; this second only to the fabulous "Hero" in my book)
The Great Raid
Inception
Slumdog Millionaire
A Few Good Men
Macarthur (on DVD)
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
The Story of Robin Hood (on DVD)

Prince of Thieves, incidentally, is guilty of having the most ridiculous villainy imaginable in the form of its over-the-top Sheriff of Nottingham and that stupid witch. But oh well. The collection grows!

I suppose I'll add that I put some of my Christmas money and my Target gift card to good use with Amazon and Target after Christmas sales:

True Blood season 2 ($15 from Amazon)
Supernatural seasons 1-4 ($20 each from Target)
Supernatural season 5 ($15 from Amazon)

With my gift card, my out of pocket expense for 6 seasons of TV on DVD was $45, which was more than covered by Christmas money. Happy holidays indeed

 

[HellCat]

Let's see...

PS3 with five games (Little Big Planet, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Resistance 2)
Doctor Who 2011 Calendar (each month is dedicated to an episode from the previous series...Go Vincent in September!)
Doctor Who Dalek jellies (the superior snack!)
Doctor Who noise keychain (makes six different iconic sounds, some more random than others. Personal fave is the full TARDIS engine noise)
A pair of blue tipped converse shoes (I think this is because I considered Tennant for a dress up day at work recently)
Various bath related stuff (the awkwardness of female relatives)
A book of quotes of British wit through the ages (Which me being me, had to lock onto a typo whilst leafing through it)
A bar of Swiss milk chocolate
A tin of shortbread
A box AND a tube of Fruit Pastilles

I think that's everything. The PS3 is the only thing I was really hoping for, mainly because I was keen to get a Blu-ray player. No more being stuck with watered down Wii versions of big titles!

Hopefully, I should be getting those in about a week.
