Secret Santa.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

In which case our santa isn't so secret ;) no worries tho, it was still a fab thing to do and if we're right on this we'll at least be able to thank each other :)

"Random" as in "Hey, I'm Obfleur - the village idiot"?
Yes.

I just meant that I screwed up the whole thing :D
I was in a rush when I organized it - but I'm really glad everyone enjoyed it.
Cheers mates :)

Yes, we certainly must do it again, it was a great idea Obfleur. Tack se mycket :) (don't mind the spelling mistakes!)

And it was fun not knowing who the gifts were from:
"hey, nice top, where did you get that?"
"I got it in my mailbox but don't know who sent it"

:D

But thanks EmVee, as I also said to you on the phone yesterday (sorry that my English was crap, but I was very tired and a bit surprised by the phone call, so I didn't really know what to say in nice sentences), I really enjoy my presents! And I'm glad that you like yours.

(and please let me know when you're visiting my beautiful country)

Yes, but I think we might need Grissom and co to help unravel the mystery it connects to.

:oops:
Grrr. Argh.

Yay, I got mine!

A Transformers lunchbox!!!! It doesn't get much better than that, finally, my very own TF lunchbox...

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH

... but inside it was a TF flask. A TF flask!

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH

Yet there was also a bag, inside of which was Breakdown and Blitzwing toys (replicas I think)

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH

But there were 3 more toys...RID I think as 1) I didn't recognise them and 2) it takes a genius to figure their transformations (luckily I am a genius)

Dead chuffed I am.

Cheers Paul! :) :)

Who me? Wat do you mean? :lurk:

I am glad you rose to teh transformation challenge, thay are indeed RID, they are repainted Prowl (police car), X-Brawn (4x4) and Sideburn (t'other one).

I have the originals and i am slowly coming around to the way of thinking that i do not need to own lots of different coloured versions of every single toy.

Except Cryotek, i may in fact have to keep him. Becasue he is like BW TM 2 Megs, except blue. SEE?

Breakdown and Blitzwing are knock offs, but the Blitwing one is actually the same colours as the recent e-hobby exclusive, which is kinda cool. I think.

Glad you like hairy boy.

Ta!

Er, actually, are there any websites with transformation instructions?

By the way, you forgot to mention the Tony Hawks PS2 game, which I never played by the way. I think I've gone off my PS2. :(
