Anyone get any Bond related Christmas presents this year?

I got a model DB5 off my wonderful and very accomadating girlfriend Moonraker and FRWL (slowly replacing my videoed off the telly collection of Bond films... god bless the ITV Bond season) and Casino Royale novel! Not a bad hoard! Love the car... next year the real thing!!

Bond related:
A real Walther PPK! (stainless frame & finish)

Non-Bond related:
1. Re-mastered CD of "The Very Best Of The Eagles".
2. 2 x open return tickets to Thailand, valid for 1 year.
3. Various gift vouchers.
4. From my wife:......<>......

And, Mr* will be happy to know that my darling 4 year old daughter received a pail of Lego.

BTW, the Walther came fully certified, minus the firing pin, and was given to me by a "friend" in the Jakarta Metro Police Force.

Silver chain (or necklace, whatever you want to call it)
More money (goes directly into "The London Project" fund)
Some James Bond cars.

Well this year I didn't get anything Bond, but I did get:

Sony Playstation 2 (mom)
Microsoft Xbox (bought it with money from relatives)
TV (Dad)
...and a bunch of games for the systems mentioned above. And of course the usual clothes. I've yet to get the rest of my gifts from mom as I don't go see her until the end of the week.

I only got two Bond related Christmas presents. The Licence To Kill DVD and the Diamonds Are Forever DVD.

But there are always the January sales.

I didn't get anything Bond related this year, as of yet. I still haven't got the gifts from a friend I work with. I own everything with the words "James Bond" on it that's availible in my area, so there really isn't anything that anyone could get me.

Off the top of my head, here's what I got so far:
eight John Lennon books
John Lennon's Double Fantasy
The Best of Buddy Holly
The Best of Chuck Berry
Yellow Submarine DVD
Standing Stone (Paul McCartney) DVD
A travel bag
10 dress shirts
1 pair o'pants
Portable CD player
Tape Recorder (for doing interviews, etc)
Money (a gift that can never be bad)
Guitar

That's all I can think of, right now. I'll let you know once I get back from work.

I received two Bond items this year, the first being an Icon die-cast figure of PB, and the second being an AutoArt die-cast Aston Martin DB5, complete with working gadgets, including an ejector seat!! ;D
I received both of these from my father, who is also a Bond fan, so he knows what I want ;-). Last year, I also got a TWINE poster for my room.

I got a Plasma Ball off my wife (well cool) as well as loads of other little bibs and bobs. Oh, we got Sky Digital as a present to ourselves too.

Nothing particularly Bond related (I was holding back on getting DAF and TMWTGG on DVD just in case someone got me them...still, I'll be able to get them in the sale now though...)

Something that piqued my interest in the Guinness Book of Records (regular pressie) is the smallest spy plane in the world: it's 15cm across, and its control system fits inside a briefcase. This is just SCREAMING to be used as a gadget by Bond.

Bond related, I got a GoldenEye poster with PB in a tux holding a PPK with 007 going up the side and on the top it says, "You know the name, you know the number"
A hardcover volume called James Bond, Back in Action which collects Role of Honor. Nobody Lives Forever, and No Deals, Mr. Bond. ( I hope they'll have collections like these for the Benson books sometime).
And, a Signet paperback copy of Octopussy and two other short stories. This is the only Bond book I've never read before.
Then I got soem clothes, various books/videos, cologne, etc.

And, Mr* will be happy to know that my darling 4 year old daughter received a pail of Lego.  

I got 7 Lego sets myself. Including a pretty nice Lego car that I plan to someday resculpt in to a DB5--with gadgets (though I'm not sure how I'll make a Lego smoke screen.)

Thanks to my three year old my house is now plagued with Barbie. She used to have four now it's somewhere in the thirties.

Bond related I got:

- Ericsson TND promotional item. It's this really small radio (FM) about the size of half of your little finger and about as wide too! That was off me da, very cool!

Non Bond:
- Clothes galore. Shirts, socks, pants, t-shirts everything
- As per usual my mum got me a hoard of after shave. But she missed out on getting me CK Obsession which is the one I really want right now. Ever smelt it?
- Sony in car CD player.
- Michael Crawford CD
- Chocolates
- Kisses (my favourite part of working Christmas Eve are all those kisses you get as pressies )

And I think that's about it.

No Hangon! God sent me a pressie too! He sent me a White Christmas!! Can you believe that? It's normally about 30 degress celcius on Christmas Day in Australia (the part I live anyway) and it only got to 15 degrees! And at about 4 in the afternoon we got a pile of rain followed by absolutely torrential hail stone which lasted about 15 minutes! So my back and front gardens were all white!! HOW FANTASTIC!
