Thanks for the gift SS! My daughter and I will have a blast putting this together. Then we'll watch some good ol' Star Wars!

I got mine 3 days ago. Bunch of Intel branded swag including a tiny robot shaped USB hub. Neato!

Here's the robot.

Here's an unboxing vid.

No return name on the box and I didn't note down the address before it got tossed into the recycling dumpster, so I'm at a loss on guessing who my SS is.

Legos seem popular this year! I also got Legos from my SS. I'll post pics when they are built tomorrow. Thank you SS! Sorry I have been so busy this week and haven't acknowledged the gift.

I just got my loot in. Nice! You'll notice a distinct lack of Legos lol:

Not sure who it was from though...the suspense is killing me ;) Whoever it is, they read my mind because I'm out of acoustic guitar strings and they bought my brand. I've never seen pick holders that sit on the headstock like that...can't wait to try them. Finally, it sucks that I have to wait until January to stare at Porsche Porn on my wall.

Thanks so much!

They surprised me, since I have half-a-dozen open orders from Amazon and NewEgg, and so I opened them right away and had that "Wait, I didn't order this.." moment. :eek:
