damn, i want to get some legos now.

my time was when the "exploriens" and "ufo" series were out. my brothers time is when "blacktron" was available. i dont like how lego has commercialized (i mean, they make so much money off of it, so why not) and i wish they would bring back the old series. ah, those were the days.

also, the prices for the taj mahal are insane. i remember that thing being $299 and now its selling for $800? forget that.

Yeah, Taj Mahal looks pretty cool, but way too expensive.

@KeithTalent: Must be some friend... 😀
 
Yes, Pazzo levers for the Ducati and we just upgraded our phones tonight. I have the Samsung Galaxy II now. WOOT!

How shit were your stockers that you're excited over levers? I can't imagine any reason I'd have to switch out the ones on my Bandit.
Kinda surprised that a Ducati's would need changing.

as far as early christmas....2012 Mazda 3 GT for my wife plus a few accessories, 2006 M3 Comp Pack for me plus lots of accessories/parts 🙂.

and an unexpected need for a set of Michelin Super Sports on all four corners.

Good Christmas this year.
 
Mine did, or will once it arrives. I just ordered a new Mac Mini server and thunderbolt display.

Ohhh I want to hear your impressions of the Thunderbolt display when you get it!

On topic .. yes I got a 13 inch MacBook Air as my Xmas gift & I'm loving it!
 
I bought myself a stack of goodies from Newegg. Thanks to their guaranteed 3-day shipping, I should have it in time for next Christmas.
 
Just moved my Mini-ITX board from a Fractal Array server case to a Lian-Li HTPC one. 60rds of 7.62x51 for some fun this weekend.

I had Pazzo levers on my last bike and I just like the feel of them. Besides, I got the red anodized levers so they look bling on my bike.
 
wife got me a new receiver:

luckily we didn't have to pay that much since she went through costco.

i need a new receiver. the one i have is 6 years old. while it still sounds great and works i would like a more updated one.

Yeah a friend of mine gave me this watch: http://www.birks.com/en/featured/Watches-and-Timepieces/Watches-for-Him/g961/3000359616 minus the extra dials and with a black face. Love it.

nice watch. But to much going on with it. I have always preferred the plain watch face.
 
My wife's did. She found the clothes I bought her. She tried them on and although she gave me the size and style she wanted I quickly found out I bought her the wrong size and fit jeans. I made a joke about weight gain and that didn't go over so well.

Merry F'n Xmas.

Lol. You have my sympathies mate.

Same, thankfully she got me the plain version with a black face, which is much cleaner:

No Christmas here. No Christmas spirit either.
It's way above freezing, raining like crazy, it just does not feel festive.
Oh well, at least I will have some time off with my friends and family over the next few weeks.
