My first child (who I have just discovered is a boy), is due in January. The wife left me in charge of decorating the nursery so... I just picked one of these up in near mint condition for the bargain price of £14.99!!!

Start them young I say!

Lock Diaper Foils in attack position!

Congrats - you'll have a blast, once you get over the sleep deprivation around year 2.

Be wary of vomit.

A child or a large X-Wing model?

Aw man, now you need to pick up a few tie fighters, and PLAY GIANT GAMES OF X WING!!!!

Maybe a large model of a child holding an x-wing?

I'm borrowing it to fill a gap in my home office until he arrives ;-)

As a father let's be honest, you bought it for yourself. (But you are absolutely allowed to be excited. My son is the best thing that ever happened to me.)

Congratulations, many good years to come. Just don't expect to sleep for a year or so.

(My son is almost 10 and he is now wanting to learn how to play Armada so he can be like his dad. And his dad is a pretty cool too. )
