Well. Yesterday I got a delivery from Tescos of something I haddunt ordered. Plastic bayg over what was the same shape and size of a box of cereal. Sounded like a box of cereal to, on shaking.
Most odd, I thought, as I've never ordered owt from Tescos, don't even shop there tbh. Proper addressed to me and everything though.
Thought it might be some sort of promotional gimmick, so put it down on the side intending to open it later, as I was in the middle of getting a cup of tea when it arrived. Forgot all about it.
Remembered it this morning, so went to open it. Why would Tesco personally send me a box of cereal?
Imagine my surprise and sheer delight on discovering that it was in fact this:

What a result, eh? 😀 A proper touch.
I don't know who sent it, although I have my suspicions. It could well even be someone off here!
All I can say is I'm proper chuffed and very grateful. 🙂
They are great. Daniel has this one:

Secret admirer?
*Mysterious present envy*
I bet it was Mark, after all those Obi-Wan emails 😉
Well. Yesterday I got a delivery from Tescos of something I haddunt....
I got this far and gave up. Sure it was a cracking story though.

That's a shame, Defydude, cos if your ADHD had abated for just a wee bit, you cooduv read on and then it wooduv enhanced your life. 😐 Oh whell..
Scardey; you know, you could be right. You could well be right....
😆
I'm too excited. Can I open all of them now? Can I? PLEEEEEASE???
Secret admirer?
Yeah right. It's probably contaminated with ricin as part of an elaborate and dastardly deed by someone who hates him.
😥
You're just jealous cos no-one sends you surprise Star Wars Legos.
Maybe if you were nice, like me, you might get such things.
Well. Yesterday I got a delivery from Tescos of something I haddunt....
I got this far and gave up. Sure it was a cracking story though.
What a pointless lie that was 😐
How lovely!
If I want a present through the post I have to buy it and send it to myself 😆
Box states 6-14 You're to old send it back!
*If that is the age limit?*
Ah yes that would apply to most others, BUT....
...I was born on February 29th. 😀
Superb.
Have to get one for my son as he has developed a decent collection of Lego Star Wars figures...

😀
So, now you just need one for 15-24
Not for quite some time, Mung Bean... 😉
😮 😮
I want one!
Just seen how expensive those things are 😯 - someone must really like you 😛
someone must really like you
How likely is that ? ....... think about it ffs
Oh Ernie [i]why[/i] are you so cruel and mean and nasty? 😥
In the unlikely event that someone is reading this and thinking about sending me something that is the same shape and size of a box of cereal and that sounds like a box of cereal on shaking... make sure it's a box of cereal, eh?
Oh go on, tell us. Who gets 25? Can we guess?
It's an Advent Calendar , you can't open it until the 1st of December.
RE: OP
I always used to shake my Christmas presents when I was younger to check whether they were Logo or not. Now my sister packages up boxes of cereal for me for Christmas and I shake them thinking they are Lego 🙁
Someone with a sense of humor has made it Darth, haven't they?

Oh Ernie why are you so cruel and mean and nasty?
Class warfare, innit? Lenin hates Lego.
Megabloks is better 🙂

Feels jealous due to not having any surprise presents in the post ... but can live without Lego!

Not true.

Ladies and gentlemen; we have a BLASPHEMER!!!!!!
An angry mob gathers:

The police quickly bring up reinforcements to quell the trouble...

This angers the crowd even further, and violence escalates:

There is widespread looting and unlawlessness:

The rioters are switftly and brutaly dealt with:

Although a few brave souls try to plead for peace and order, their cries fall on deaf ears, and democracy collapses:

would also like surprise pressie in the post, but not lego. 🙁
as I am not a 13yr old boy
Emsz and Karinofnine - do I detect a lack of surprise presents for girls ... surely this is a bad case of sexism? 😆
With the government brought to it's knees by such widespread civil unrest and general chaos, including financial collapse, sadly certain elements use this as an opportunity to sieze power, and sweep aside the oppsition by using lies, treachery and spreading fear and hatred:

Not sure I should resurrect this thread given its descent into Nazism but what the hell (inevitable given Godwin's Law)
Did anyone who has the calendar get what they should have on day 7?
The picture looks like some tools and Chewie's bowcaster but all we got is some fairly unexciting black and grey bits.
Ooh! Reminds me; forgot to open today's window! 🙂
(Scuttles off in excitement)
First time I have read thru this thread - LOLs abound. Lego Nazis indeed
Theres some great image sourcing there.
I have got lots of extra bits in mine, day 7 was what looked like a dustbin with tools and a crossbow.
Just waiting for the GF to get home and open days 8 and 9 for her lego city calendar so I can open my star wars one
Teeny tiny X-Wing fighter FTW! 😀

[/img]
It's a bit small for the X-Wing pilot what was in yesterday's window though. No wonder he looks a bit miffed.

december 9th - it's an ickle lego X-wing!
😀
dammit, elf beat me by a minute. but at least it's not my fault for ruining Grahamt's surprise.
It's thought that there were lego figures around a windmill chillin out and taking in the scenery, poppin on some choons and having a good time. ****in lego!
Bastards!!!!!
Thats not fair. Am going to have to get up and post on here tomorrow morning now as payback 😛
elf, you need one of these:
[img]

they're ace.
Surprised no one posted this yet...
@dogbert - The advent calendars are usually £20. As soon as people start panicking about getting them the price rockets on Amazon and Ebay.
But you do get a Father Xmas Yoda.
That's £40 of anyone's money.
Neil Kinnock! The Santa Yoda figure is going for £20+ on it's own!! 😯
Is it wrong to run about the house with the tiny X-Wing Fighter, making spaceship noises?
LOCK X-FOILS IN ATTACK POSITION!
I'm thirty nine. 😳
(Eagerly awaits teeny tiny Tie Fighter)
by the gods THIS THREAD IS AWESOME! 😀 here's another lego interpretation of a sci fi classic (can you guess what it is? 😉 [img] 
[/img]
So grahamt1980 got what he should have on Day 7?
Not happy that I did not. Maybe it will turn up in one of the other windows.
Yep, it was correct, sorry.
On a different note, went in the lego shop in MK on monday - damn I could have spent a lot of money in there. Really need to go and get my lego out of my mums loft
[img]

Terribly sad
It has a happy ending though, Yoss:

Yay for happy endings
(Sobs uncontrollably at the sheer magical beauty of it all)
😥
After the excitement of the X-Wing Fighter, yesterday's offering was this teeny tiny baby tyridium Imperial Shuttle. One of me fave spaceships from StarWars actually.
Look how [i]sweet[/i] it is! Like a little baby chick.

My son is going to climb through your window tonight and steal all those and what remains of your calendar

Charlie Mungus and family
That's it! I'm off to Argos to see if they have one! (also being sent to the LBS by the wife to find something for Xmas)
Cracking, we get our two a lego advent calendar every year. My dad has become a bit of an obsessive since retirement, claims it's just to play with my lad! Yeah right 😉 Have a load to build over Christmas!!
This is the best thread since Picolax. Well done elfin!
