Happy birthday to me! New toys to add to my collection.

By Papamambo, in X-Wing

So, this past Thursday (the 25th), I officially have climbed the hill and am now over it age - wise. I turned 41. In the weeks leading up to the date, I dropped some major hints to my kids as to what I was hoping mom (my wife) might get me. I was happy to unwrap my gift and find some Cards Against Humanity expansions as well as another Z95 and Ewing to add to my collection. Friday, the festivities continued with another 2 Z95s, and an Advanced (can't believe I've gone this long without one). On Saturday I received a call saying my copy of Rebel Aces was in Stock!

So, needless to say I have a lot of list building to do before our X-wing league starts its new season this Wednesday. Time to update my sig too I suppose.

Happy birthday. I turned 21 just last week on the 19th.

Similar situation for me...

I turned 32 on the 7th...

Wife gave me $50 cause she knows jack about the games i play and I preordered ALL of wave 5 for that $50!

Took half of the Amazon money everyone else gave me and got the tantive and transport expansions i never would have been able to afford otherwise!!

In Australia the decimator alone is $50

Happy B-Day to all !!!

Good g-d man ... I am pretty sure I can't even remember being 41, not to mention 21.

Let's see, when I was 21, I had just purchased a slightly used (3,000 miles) 1962 MGB Roadster as seen here:

It had splenty of speed and agility, but very little offensive ability, not to mention a complete lack of shields. The parental units thought it was OP, and wanted it nerfed. :P

21 is just a distant, hazy memory. Anyway, I'm still playing with toy spaceships at 49, so it can't be all bad. :)

Grats on growing closer to your inevitable death ;P

My 44th comes on Oct 7th and I'll be getting cash. I'll either be getting the Rebel Transport, a playing mat, or saving it all for the Wave 5 ships. Birthday cash!

Gads I feel old... :(

Congrats, new toys are always fun! :D

Happy birthday Papamambo.

My 39th is coming up this weekend. I have been in a buying restriction all this month leading up to it so I don't even have my rebel aces yet.

No idea what my wife has ordered for me.

Grats on growing closer to your inevitable death ;P

Yeah, one of the best quotes on one of my cards was "Often it is fatal to live too long. " Got a kick out of that one..

Sorry to hear that...why is it so much more? Exchange rate?

The store near me kicks absolute butt with its pricing.

Australia gets royally screwed on prices, go to the GW site and swap it to Aussie prices and cry.
