The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What Did You Get For Christmas?

The Friendly Sharptooth

I got mostly Land Before Time related items.

A Littlefoot Christmas ornament.


The Pizza Hut hand puppets.


A glass LBT night light. (I mentioned it is a LBT item because the engravings are too hard to make out from a photo.)


The Long John Silver's LBT collection.


The Halloween Cera doll.


A box of four LBT puzzles.


A LBT art set.


A LBT bed sheet.


And as for the non LBT stuff...

A coin holder.


And lastly, a box of hygiene supplies. (Hm. Is my family trying to tell me something...?)


Merry Christmas to you all from The Friendly Sharptooth

Whoops! I was about to bump last year's “What did you get for Christmas?” thread when I saw this. Well, I guess the admins can merge the threads if they see fit, or just have separate threads for each year.

Anyway, my gifts this year:

ï Some books, including The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, Smithsonian Natural History: The Ultimate Visual Guide to Everything on Earth, Smithsonian Ocean, and a guide to sharks and rays.

ï A plush tardigrade (water bear) from GIANTmicrobes. (My siblings got Martian Life, mange, and a flea. :lol)

ï From my older younger brother, some souvenirs from Fiji (where he had been studying abroad for his fall college semester), including a wooden sculpture of a prawn and some shells and corals he had collected. (Being responsible, ecologically conscious, and well aware that many innocuous-looking tropical organisms can kill you, he had only picked up dead specimens washed up on the beach) The most amazing gift was a shell from the deadliest snail on Earth: the venomous cone shell. :blink:

ï Several awesome agates. :smile

ï A Wacom Bamboo Touch, :wow along with a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5. Finally I can use Photoshop on my own computer, and maybe draw on it, too! :DD

EDIT: Wow, you got some nice LBT stuff, The Friendly Sharptooth!



Pronounced "pan-JEE-uh". Spelled with three A's. Represented by a Lystrosaurus.

And a bunch of other random crap I don't really want to put down here. :-3

- Lots of $25 gift cards to various places (will come in handy)
- dress shirts
- watch
- about $225 in cash
- candy (of course)

I swear my parents made out big in the stock market or something because that is an awful lot for me, and I didn't ask for things this year.  Plus I have two sisters whose gifts amounted to similar items, so you can imagine what they spent this year. o.O

Since there are no more new Bionicle sets, this is the first Christmas in a long time that I didn't get any. However, I did get the things that I did ask for.

Lego sets from the new Architecture series:
-John Hancock Center, Sears Tower, Seattle Space Needle, and Empire State Building. (They're surprisingly detailed for such a small scale.)
Two computer games:
-Civilization 5 (I'll play it this week and next week.)
-Lego Universe (Since it's a massively multiplayer online game, I won't get to it until summer, when I don't have to worry about college work.)

"I have a right to collect anything I want. It's just junk anyway."
- Berix

My first fanfiction: Quest for the Energy Stones
My unfinished and canceled second fanfiction: Quest for the Mask of Life
My currently ongoing fanfiction series: LEGO Equestria Girls

My friend got me a comic collection of some silver age comics.  I didn't even know the book was out, so it's a very neat gift.
