Ok who is getting a r/c gift for X mass? and not from yourself

[MAD RACER]

Well my lovely wife bought me a Tomahawk for me.

Can't open the postage box to X mass morning either

So are you getting a present under the tree r/c related?

[Saito2]

I'm in the same boat. My wife got me a Holiday Buggy (that I'll likely narrow up the width) and I can't even look at it till Christmas. It's fun to anticipate like a kid again though.

[Nitomor]

I'm getting one from the wife and one from the kids

[Vrdetailing]

Heavy Dump for me.. Still cant decide if to go white or grey on it .. May stick yellow and get it dirty

[XV Pilot]

A big box with a Tamico label on it arrived the other day, followed by smaller packages from RCbearings and Time Tunnel, so I suspect I might be getting a RC gift too. Not sure what it is though - I have been dropping Grasshopper - related hints, so perhaps it'll be one of those...

I fall foul of the 'not from yourself' rule in the thread title...

[gravetxt-1]

Yahh I fall foul as well I consult the bank of Alex

Mine is nothing as fancy as all that. A friend of my mums always insists on getting me a present and I always tell her you don't have too. I think she's sees me as her son too . To put her off last year I said get me a subaru impreza. As I like japanese performance cars and I thought well at least she won't be able to get me one of those. Well she did. She got me a 1:43 scale subaru impreza by vanguard models which is driven by a guy called Ollie clarke. For those that don't know he won a race series in the UK many times called ten of the best which finds the fastest road legal car in the uk over 3 disciplines of quarter mile, top speed and handling circuit. It was perfect!

Roll on to this year and she's asked again. She always gets me something if I say something or not so I thought of something cheap and that I could really use for all my tamiya stuff. So I said nuts and bolts and screws! (I had to send her a text of the correct sizes, aww bless)

So when you open your fancy kits think about me with my tubs of nuts, bolts and screws.

miss`s bought me a tamiya tlt of ebay as an early xmas present,sweet.............wonder what else is coming

[March75]

There's a Monster Beetle kit on top of the wardrobe in our spare room driving me bonkers - I wish she'd hide it or wrap it - the temptation to peek in the box is killing me!

[Mad Ax]

Nope, never

For years I've been asking first my parents, then my wife, for RC Christmas presents. Every year they say it's either too expensive or I have too many RCs.

Most years I will buy myself something fairly cheap in the run up to Christmas so I have something to build during the holidays, and each year the holidays are too busy with chores, family visits and parties that I can't get out of so I never finish them anyway

This year I have gone one stage further and bought a full operation MAN TGX truck, but I'm not sure how I can show it to the wife without getting divorced...

[StrokerBoy]

So are you getting a present under the tree r/c related?

How would I know ? I'll find out on the 25th as usual. If you lot can see into the future, would you mind telling me next week's winning lottery numbers ?

[IBIFTKH]

Santa says no, apparently I've been a bad boy...

I bought an NIB Stadium Blitzer earlier this year so am using that as my RC related Xmas present

[Prescient]

Well guys, got a bigish budget for my Christmas present this year.

I am not sure if I fancy a tank or a few off road truck kits to build (MP, MB, LB, super clod, bullhead)

Any thoughts? I'm easily swayed by the fresh new tamiya box smell so 1 kit vs 5.

[yogi-bear]

nope, getting some sort of stars wars lego

[Nitomor]

One box from Modelsport, the other you should all recognise

Same here it's been there since October, fortunately it has now been wrapped😀

[Cesco]

I'm affraid if I want something from Santa, I just have to buy it myself. There's enough on my wish list, but as long as I have too many projects to build. The wife might as well be right to build them first. For now, I settle for some days off within my busy schedule so I can start and finish some projects. X mass will be a great time to do that.

Offcourse, I could give some new Tamiya RC models to the kids and enjoy building them myself...

[loco_oso]

Somehow convinced the family to get me a DB-02! Super excited! Expect a build thread .
