Just curious what sets people are giving as gifts? or What are you hoping to receive? 

In my house the GF and I buy all sets we like as soon as they are released.  This impatient behavior does cause a headache come birthday (hers Dec 19th) and xmas time.  This year I decided to BL the Cafe Corner, and luckily the creator Park Animals is available already.  Me, hoping for gift cards to off set the cost of the Ghostbuster Headquarters.

Merry Christmas to everyone here. I don't post a whole lot, but I read a lot from you fellow Brickpickers. I have to say you all have been a blessing to me and my family over the last year. Many blessings to all of you, your families, and your Lego ventures over the next year.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas and I wish you all prosperous New Year. 

Merry Christmas y'all. Just finished reading this one to the kids...

I just wanted to take a moment in remembrance of those who lost their lives.

Nakatomi Plaza 12/24/88. We will never forget.

Merry Christmas All!!!

My son also got a bike, and some other odds-n-ends, but Lego was the main event. So what did you get?

A lump of coal (again)...[emoji19]

My first larger experience with Mega Bloks this morning.  Put together the Halo UNSC Warthog.  I actually had to use a child's project hammer to get the pegs to fully insert into some of the parts.  It's not LEGO, for sure.  I'm putting together the Scorpion later and we also have the Police Pelican, which I'm dreading.  Good and sturdy once together, but definitely an inferior product with swirling colors in the pieces and some are too flexible.

My daughter received a bunch of American Girl, Barbie Dreamhouse, and new Epic LeapPad.  My son got his first laptop, LEGO Dimensions, an Interactive R2-D2 and we're going to share an XBox One.  I'll be busy on vacation putting all this stuff together.

Luckily, you can glue Mega Bloks...

My two kids got Dimensions. My son got a couple of trains. He's rolling the retired 7939 cargo train (yellow engine) used set, and the new 60052 (red engine). Between the two sets, and some extra track, we are setting up a pretty boss layout. Now I need to decide if I want to open up my sealed Maersk train to play along. 

Jurassic world and TFA sets for my boys and the Ferris Wheel for me!

My Chima-loving 9yr old son got the Phoenix Fire Temple, and his twin sister received the Grand Hotel ... Both have been quiet for the last 5 hours, occasionally shouting "I'm on book/bag X" to compare progress

Daddy got a 250 page book by two first-time authors, not sure if you guys ever heard of it: something about collecting LEGO sets for investment purposes or something ... Will let you all know if it is any good once I finish it ;-)

Got in a fight with my wife. Decided to head to the office and get started on consolidating sales/inventory for 2015 sales.

That sucks- sounds like my Christmas

My brother gave me Grievous Buildable figure. It's a lot better than Obi-Wan and Luke.

Maybe what I didn't get. I got my wife the VW van. She has always wanted that exact van, and I've been helping her build it. Sucks no numbered bags but I'm her piece finder, she won't even let the kids build any of it. Its her first Lego set. Winning

Btw I got my son 70733 blaster bike........Cole in his stocking

My step-daughter and her boyfriend got me the city monster truck, 60055, and...two tickets to a monster truck rally in February.  Never thought I would be going to something like that, but my wife said she wanted to go to one a while back.

This lil' bundle of joy.  First daughter, 40 min old.

 

Where is the Lego pacifier

Once again I shiver with disbelief at how unhesitatingly pictures of children are being posted in a public forum. Folks, this is 2015, about time to become aware of the fact that children have rights of personality, too. And even if they dont mind pictures of them being posted now, they might well do so later in their lives. At least their parents should know better than that.

Whoa... harsh dude. I hadn't really thought about it much... maybe good advice, but... harsh.

Congratulations Loghamel!

Congrats
