Just two books for me!

No pictures, but you all know what a Black Helicopter Dodecahedron looks like.
Also, I received a large box of wooden/Metal puzzles from Rox. Random generic ones, so to give names would be both confusing and near impossible. :lol:

I got a Meffert's Rex Cube and Mastermorphix, both in white, and a Rubik's 360.

I'll post a picture later.

Seasons 1-3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Volumes 1 and 2 of Sailor V.
30 USD Cash
A Christmas Tin of assorted cookies.

Any actual puzzles I will have to buy myself.

A nice shirt, an iTunes gift card, and an unexpected gift card to Best Buy which I used to get a higher capacity micro SDHC card for my camera.

A wonderful couple days with my children and grandchildren—a 7 year old grandson, and 2 granddaughters less than a year old.

A short, yet pleasant, visit with my sisters and aunt and uncle, all of which I only see a time or two each year.

A generous bonus check from my boss that will doubtless go toward paying bills, but that's a good thing.

Time to relax and enjoy the Professor Pyraminx I got with money I received for my birthday in November.

Based on thread title before edit (What did you get for Christmas?)-

Drunk and about half a stone fatter.

Me too!

And a new soldering iron. A REALLY nice one.

My postman still hasn't brought the 30th Anniversary Pyraminx I ordered from Mefferts in November

No mail delivery on the 26th (they had to get at least one extra day off for Christmas and they were already off on Sundays anyway), so hopefully I get it tomorrow December 27th.

It seems people have strayed a bit from the original intent of this thread.

It's well and good to share what non-puzzle things you may have received in Off Topic, but let's keep this thread focused to puzzles actually received (not on the way). As noted before, pictures please!

Thanks Juanan for a perfect example of what this thread is about

My fault Dave. I merged the threads on request.

As for Funnymonkey's puzzles....I was a bit cheeky. :lol:

I also sent a bunch not so unsolved.

Sorry Dave, I didn't take photos, but made videos of them and since they were Christmas gifts....

I got way more stuff than expected. I´m in Austria, so we couldnät bring much on the plane, and mz muscle memorz is killing me with the Austrian kezboards

Anzwaz, I was at the Rathausplatz Christmas market in Vienna, and I was looking around. A toz stall had a Sudokube, so I was pleasantlz surprised (didnät buz it though), and then I saw this stand DEDICATED to puyyles, name of Constatin (long German word that probably means "puzzle" since it had "spiel" in it). It had an awesome selection of twistz puyyles, so I bought mzself a Master Skewb and Rex Cube for 45 euro. Mz parents also got me an Impossiball from the stand (Iäve wanted one for a while but I was bummed out to see that it had 6 colours) which I opened on Christmas Eve.

I also got the 8-planet Bermuda set on Christmas Day! Thez are great fun.

Let me guess: You wrote this while sitting in an internet cafe and using a german keyboard layout.
Congratulations for your findings.

Does anyone besides me right now think that this trip was wasted on youth who know no better :roll:

....You silly boy!

When you get older you'll look back on this and cry over a missed opportunity. Lord knows when I lived there late 80's-early 90's I did the same thing and am seriously crying now.

My Christmas Cube parcel:

Probably you can not see it, but the black one is completely scrambled. :lol:

OMG, how long do I have to wait for those stickers?
On Christmas Eve I got notice from Tom that they were returned to sender.

GoombaGeek · **Posted:** Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:51 am

I bought as much as I could, sorry

Anyway, I´m actually at my aunt´s house but my dad said I had to go skiing immediately so no time to fix the typos.

Then might I suggest that you go fix them as soon as you get back. That is no excuse as Davehas said before. Please read rule number 12.

Remember, if you want people to be able to find your posts in the future, they must be in good English. If not...they disappear. Not having time to do it properly is no excuse!

My brother was kind enough to get me a puzzle for XMas:

I had played with a prototype at IPP31 and had a solution I thought would work, but never really solved it. I was happy that this solution worked when I received my copy.
