Best X-Mas present you got as a kid?

[EddieISU]

Well X-Mas as a kid and getting Nintendo's Super Techmo as a present was pretty sweet. Atleast 2-3 years of my life are treaded on that game. What's your guy's best present?

Sega Genesis. Played the **** out of it from 93(or 94) all the way til 2002.

 

[Cy's Taxi]

Nintendo 64... no question...

 

[IcSyU]

a 1,900 piece Lego battleship. Took me all of Christmas Day to get that beast put together. :yes:

since I was born in 1970 and video games, etc weren't even around yet, I will say a bike and KISS Alive II

Mine would have to be either when I got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sewer Playset (the TMNT's base) or my Super Nintendo. Both times I was sooooo freakin' excited and literally spent the following year (in the case of the Nintendo, next 4 years) playing with them!

BB gun. No, I didn't shoot my eye out. However I did accidently shoot my best friend in the side of the head. It didn't even break the skin but he was . Ahhh, good times.

Evil Knievel wind up stunt bike with ramp. I wish I still had one.

 

[madcityCY]

Twin Turbo Trains!

 

[BCforISU]

Castle Greyskull from He-man when I was 5, a WWF ring at 7, and nintendo at age 9. Those are the best I can think of.

There have been a lot of worsts, but can't really pinpoint just one.

I flipped out when I got the original Nintendo.

I flipped out when I got the original Nintendo.

Yeh we did as well. The Super Nintendo was just as fun when we got it too.

 

[Al_4_State]

BB gun and Honda dirt bike in back to back years. We were pretty much inseperable from those bikes until getting a driver's license.

 

[mac4cy]

I would say my He-Man castle or my Redskins Starter coat. The Starter coats were huge and everybody had them. Loved it even though I am not a Redskins fan.

 

[LindenCy]

Hmmmmm, not sure, but does anyone remember US 1 electric trucking from Tyco? The FX Star Patroler from LEGO was also a pretty cool gift. I think Legos used to be better.

 

[JP4CY]

My mom footed the bill to go to Aspen over winter break in '01 with the ISU ski and snowboard club.

 

[gocubs2118]

About 4 years ago I got a Bears, Cubs and Bulls jersey all in one Christmas. I don't know if that one could be beaten for me.

plane ticket to jamica for spring break

I got a "Mr. Quarterback" back in the late 70s or early 80s. You would **** his arm and he would throw passes to you. It worked great for about 45 minutes on Christmas day and then broke...
