i would do this monthly or bi monthly. Its nice to give a gift to someone and its not too much of a financial burden. I found it to be exciting. I never owned a decimator fig and getting one in the mail was a total shock.

My Aunt Ginny was really sad, she said "Oh, I thought you loved G.I. Joes". Before I could say anything I was promptly snatched up by my Dad and taken in the bedroom for a little talk. He kindly explained that anytime someone goes out of their way to do something nice for you, you need to show some gratitude. The lesson about not being the world's biggest asshole was punctuated with a spanking. At that young age of 6 I learned that gratitude makes people think you are kind and mature. Flippant jabs at other peoples kindness are made by immature spoiled babies. If I had continued to act that way as an adult I bet I would be a total jackass that had no friends, and when I chimed in people thought "oh not this jerk again". Thanks for that lesson Pop, it has served me well.

Great lesson to have learned.
I think of it like this--- You never know how important the item was to the other person. To you it may seem like garbage but to the person who gave it to you it could have been the greatest item they had. If that makes any sense? But i find it really is the thought that counts. |

I'm all for doing it again in July because this was the best Xmas for me in a long time.
On a side note i don't know if Hasbro does the warehouse clearance sale every year but if they do i think that it would be a perfect time to stock up on toys for the little rug rats that don't have a good Xmas. The deals where great for us collectors and would be great for getting more toys to the kids who need them. I hope you all will join in on this idea because I'm going to set aside 10% of my fun money to do this again next year for the simple fact that if two Joe's can bring me this much joy imagine the look on a kids face when they receive a Joe , TF , etc... |

You know due to my Ex's money situation my kids are not getting me anything this year, and I understand. Same with my Mom, she's loosing her house in a few months due to an Adjustable rate and Banks being assholes and not letting her refinance. My Secret Santa honestly gave me the only Christmas/Birthday presents I am getting this year that I didn't buy myself.
Thanks again!!

So if you are truley disappointed please send it back and I will perhaps send it to the kind person who drew my name for the Secret Santa. Thanks for the Cobra Viper army you sent, whoever you are!!!
