wow thats kinda rought to choose what was the coolest thing i got for christmas.  I guess it was either my bass guitar, my turbo grafx, or the time i got sector action figures.  Or maybe it was my stomper nightrider set, Or maybe when I got robotix or the gi joe cobra dome base thing.  i dunno way to many

Christmas of 2004, my mother in law got me some very revealing shorts.

I wore them often in the next few months.

In October of 2005, my wife gave birth to our first child.

I'm not sure if this was coincidence.

LOL

I think Finerion should just win automagically for this post.

Thanks man!

I'm in!

I was never a more excited little boy then when on Christmas day in 1986 I unwrapped a shiny new Nintendo Entertainment System. Naturally, the first thing I played was Super Mario Bros. That game was immensely fascinating to me then, and there was never anything to have surpassed it. Ever.

Not even Super Thunderblade on the Genesis?

If you were referring to the arcade version then maybe. Arcade Thunderblade doesn't get enough lovins.

I'll enter this one.

One of my coolest Christmases was the one that happened after The Empire Strikes Back was originally released.  I wanted an AT-AT.  I got up Christmas morning and after we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and he blew out his candles, it was time for presents (for me, Jesus got none).  Under the tree was an AT-AT from Kenner fully assembled that Santa brought.  AWESOME!  I was so excited.  Then I opened the other presents including one HUGE box.  It was another AT-AT!  My parents were pissed at whoever got me another AT-AT, but I was so happy to have two.  What was kind of funny was that was the year I learned there was no Santa.

Joe, I gotta tell you that I had an AT-AT Christmas too! It was right after Empire came out, like you, and I unwrapped that huge Kenner box. I think that's the exact moment that I became a geek.

I don't think the new ones have that "head control" joystick in the body of the thing anymore. I was hoping that they did. I still have my AT-AT somewhere, but I am sure that the battery connectors are rusted out.

Count me in if it's not too late.  Wow, Bluebmw's freebies get better and better.  Super generous as always. 

The best xmas present that I remember was Megatron transformers back in the 80s.  I still have it CIB.

Oh man, that takes me back.  My second favorite Christmas I received my first Transformers toys EVER, a Megatron and an Optimus Prime, both from my dad.  According to him, neither were able to be found in Denver, but he was able to find them in Colorado Springs which is a bit over an hour away from Denver.  How he found them I do not know, but it begun a very long love affair with the generation 1 Transformers.

 Same here! The 80s versions will always rule what with their die-cast metal, and easily swallowed parts. Starscream was always my favorite, along with the Autobot that transformed into a giant F-14. Can't remember his name.

[Joe Redifer]

I don't remember any F-14's, but maybe you are thinking of Jetfire/Skyfire?  He transformed from white Robotech plane to a white Robotech action figure.  He was made by Bandai instead of Takara.  The exact same people who made him also programmed The Adventures of Gilligan's Island for the NES, that's how awesome Jet/Skyfire was.  I just found my Jet/Skyfire toy the other day and transformed him.  I had forgotten how to do so, but since my mind is so powerful with logic and quantum equations, I was able to figure it out.

Ha ha! I said F-14 because I remember it having variable-sweep wings. I had no idea it was made by a different company.

A friend of mine had Jetfire.  Just hearing about Jetfire/transformers brings back some great memories.  I also had Thundercracker, Grimlock, and Optimus Prime but for some reason Megatron was always my favorite growing up.

Your dads not Arnold Schwarzenegger is he. I think they may have made a film about it.
