"Merry Christmas! Now, what loot did you get?" Topic

I hope everyone enjoyed a happy holiday, celebrating with loved ones and comrades. And, even if you are not followers of the Western tradition of Christmas, I still of course hope you experienced a worthwhile day.

But, setting aside all such noble sentiments, however truly held, one must admit that it's always fun to receive goodies, especially when those goodies are hobby things. So here's the annual thread where we brag about our haul. So, share, lads and lasses-- what glorious treasures are appearing on your tabletop?

For myself, I received an Imperial Assault Cruiser for the X-Wing game, with which to menace Rebel scum. Huzzah! (Or whatever Imperial troops cheer.)
Plus, I have some gift cards which will no doubt get spent on at least a few little gaming goodies.

Your turn!

I got the Conan boardgame and the Two Hour Wargames Dungeon Crawl set. I am looking forward to playing both of them, seeing radically difficult treatments of similiar subjects.

I got the new Bloodbowl, Pandemic and the Dominion expansion Prosperity.

Napoleon's Correspondence, Volume 11, and Fried's biography of Charlemagne.

Also socks and underwear.

I received a crazy number of miniatures. My wife and daughter went all out on the miniatures front this year, with GZG space fighters for use with Star Fleet Battles, a bunch of Peter Pig French for modern Africa, some Reaper and a few GW figs for use in PA games.

Additionally, I am told that half of her orders didn't arrive in time for the Holiday, so more will be arriving soon.

She also instructed me to mention that Reaper, Peter Pig, and especially GZG all offered fantastic service.

I could put one of my socks on the tabletop I suppose.

I did buy myself a couple of computer games but they are hard to get on a table top.

Batman: Knightfall Volume 1, from my stepdaughter.

Some more HaT 1/72 Punic Wars for my Basic Impetus project.

I got a Bosch electric screwdriver but I suspect that's not what you meant…

A few pieces of castle wall and towers, along with this:

Not complaining, had a very nice Holiday with my family.

Got a nice mini vacuum to keep my prep desk free of debris. The kids got what I like to call Combat Christmas; Hex Bug battle set, Nerf guns, TwoBros Bow and Arrows. Fun for me as well! I never really get hobby stuff as a gift, I just buy it when I want it.

First off, my birthday was December 15th, so I tend to get an extra load of good bits. I'm up to three bottles of good, single malt scotch, seven bottles of good red wine, and a surprise from my son in law of an order of Hydra Minis Retro Raygun figures. Also of course clothes. Oh, and some pipe tobacco and cigars.

A shirt and some cash. Already converted the cash into books:

I have all the Hunnicut books save Firepower (which hasn't gone into reprint yet!). Also got a bunch of Xbox One games, a swiss army knife, and cash (which I bought a model kit of the M5A1 Stuart by AFV Club, as well as snacks and food). Good times all round…
