What's on your Christmas Wish List?

Sing along: "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, IS.....
....LEGO!"
Jolly old St. Brick is comin' to town!

What Lego set do you want to see under the tree with your name on it?

SuperTramp

LE Batpod.


Sorry we found an extra one,
Lots of love from Lego. 

JudgeChuck

My other half amazed me the other day by offering to buy me a modular... I nearly choked on my cocoa!
One Palace Cinema, please!
:-)

tecjam

I guess I'll be buying my own - in fact I already have - for the past 8 months! =o

Paperballpark

I never ask for Lego, as I always know where or how to get it cheaper than my friends and family can. I therefore tend to buy all my Lego myself, and ask for other stuff for Christmas instead :)

I normally keep a set for building on Christmas day though. In previous years that's been the Winter Village set, but this year it'll be the Temple of Airjitzu :D

rampantsully

A few gift cards so i can get Ghostbusters HQ on New Years day.

Lego_Nerd98

@Paperballpark that's a great idea! I should save a big set to open and build for the first time on Christmas day. Or maybe build one or two of my old sets.

I wish they had Bricklink gift cards.....

BuriedinBricks

Similar boat as @Paperballpark. I always feel a little guilty when family buys me LEGO, since I know they probably paid RRP for it. I'm still really happy to receive it, but I don't usually seek it out on gift lists. When I do put items on, it's usually IDEAS or exclusive sets that never see discounts.

Still, I would not complain if any of the following appeared under the tree:
-UCS Slave I
-Ferris Wheel
-Tumbler
-Doctor Who
-Wall-E

Yodalicious

I never ask for it either. I actually did once, but didn't get it. So I stopped. I'm fine with that. I like the hunt on my own anyway. My son did get me a police helicopter polybag for Father's Day, though he was 2 at the time and as soon as I built it he asked if he could play with it. It's been in his LEGO bin ever since.

Adelec

I actually wanted the 2 new frozen sets, but they are not out in the UK until the 26th dec. How crazy is that!

Lego_Nerd98

Yeah, I buy more Lego for other people than the other way around. I always ask for Legos, but never expected and still don't expect much, as I have 7 siblings and a dad in the military.

Doesn't hurt to try, though!

getting the lego ferris wheel and the kwik e mart

LostInTranslation

I will only be receiving Lego from my Brickset Secret Santa but that's OK because I have a very long build queue already. (I built 3 Scooby Doo sets yesterday and still haven't really made a dent in it!) 

Plus I had my Christmas "present"  of a few new sets to review so I'm not exactly Lego-deprived :-) 

Lordmoral

My list: 
Pick a Brick, First Order Tie Fighter, Poe Dameron X-Wing, Indominous Rex Escape and Dilophosaurus Ambush.

BrickDancer

Because my gf is so prone to saying "No", I'm definitely & defiantly asking for multiple Lego sets from her for Christmas. Nothing else will be on the list but Lego. I can buy my own darn ugly sweaters. Check mate luv!

UCS Slave-1 & TIE Fighter to complete my UCS theme again.

madejp86

Ohh the tumbler please lol

SithLord196

An electric griddle would be nice.

I shall use that fact to point out that I have therefore officially reached adulthood.

Lego wise, I would love to get the UCS TIE Fighter.

chuxtoybox

All I want for Christmas is set  #70738  Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty to go with my  #70751 Temple of Airjitzu and my #70728 Battle for Ninjago City.

It is literally the only thing I want for Christmas. If I don't get it I'm buying it.

MrJ_NY

I would never ask for Lego as a gift (They'd pay too much-the box will have a crease),so instead I'll be driving 150 miles round-trip on Jan 1st to the Lego Store to pick up my 10251 Brick Bank. I will also be dashing thru the snow & laughing all the way...home

matticus_bricks

If I ask for Lego, it is usually something specific I know there won't be any deals on anyway. This year, I've asked for the Doctor Who IDEAS set. I know it's been back ordered, so hopefully it will arrive in time for Christmas!

Lego_Nerd98

@MrJ_NY 150 miles? Woah.....

Toc13

I've been mostly  buying  my own this year because I know where & when to get things. One of the side-effects of having specialised hobbies.

RomanticWarrior

The older police station (not the swamp one), Antman set.  That's about it as far as LEGO.

cheshirecat

All the stuff that I got my kids for christmas that they later changed there mind on. Quite happy with the ferris wheel though.

VorpalRyu

Our little mister six was so cute when he went to see Santa, he asked him for the set dad put on Ideas Lego, guessing it's the result of explaining to him it's not looking likely just before he went to see the big guy.

As for me, unless I'm asking my wife for it, I don't tend to ask for Lego, as no-one else will willingly get me it. Unfortunately, I've got all the currently released MARVEL sets a part from the Hulk poly & we don't get the MARVEL polybags here...

Jern92

If it was a true 'wish' list it'd be a mile long, with things like the Green Grocer and the Taj Mahal on it. But to stay practical, I have asked my boyfriend to simply give me some money to go towards my next purchase; the Ghostbusters Headquarters. Works for him, because we'd build it together anyway (and I'll be paying 90% of the price!) :-P

samiam391

Same as @Paperballpark , I don't really ask for LEGO for Christmas as I know I can get it cheaper elsewhere. However, I do appreciate the small 100 piece sets that relatives give me... while the building experience isn't very exiting, I absolutely cherish the sentimental value of them.

Every Christmas I do treat myself with a very large MOC build... this year I'll be working on a 10,000 piece Helm's Deep MOC (2/3rds of it) and a 5,000 piece Neushwasntein Castle, Germany. Typically, I only do one project, but I could not resist double dipping this year.

sweetness34

Hopefully some gift cards so I can buy the ghost busters HQ and brick bank sets.

oldtodd33

My wife will get me a larger more expensive set and relatives will get me a few Lego gift cards so I can buy what I like. Then I'll go to the Lego store on the 1st and get GBHQ for a bit less.  A very predictable scenario but nice none the less. 

brumey

winter tires, new entry door for my flat, TRX THUD RUMBLE, moonshine recordings vinyls, dub siren, fix my home heating and finally workforce for sorting my ever growing lego brick collection

tecjam

Is it normal for a store to actually open on the first of january where you are at?

Else making a trip to the store on the 2nd or 4th might be a wiser decision.

MrJ_NY

@tecjamIt takes a lot to close a store in the USA & unfortunately quite normal for stores to be open on Holidays.NY eve they will close a bit early but in general the next day it's business as usual. "store Hours Friday, January 1st
11:00am-5:00pm" so it's open about 1/2 the day.

brumey

i live in a rural little town in austria in the center of europe. the next picka brick wall is a 2 hour drive.

stores are closed from 24th midday to 11th of january!

tecjam

Yes, our overly christian countries are far away from working on sundays or holidays.
I do wish supermarkets would open sundays, though.

brumey

sometimes on weekends when we are hungry in the night (after sorting or watching a flick) we drive for half an hour to the next 24/7 gas station to get anything to eat!

we also dont have jelly beans, whihc is really tough

mpfirnhaber

Old & rare 2x4 bricks :)

monstblitz

Lego Ewok Village.  Definitely felt guilty asking for it, but since my son would love it I told my mom it would make a perfect present for both of us.  I also have never seen any kind of deal on this set, so I don't think I can get my hands on it any cheaper than she could. 

All_That_Rocks

As someone just coming out of my Dark Age I have asked for Lego off most of my family. In most cases I have made the purchase on their behalf (so I can get VIP points, EBay purchases etc) and given them to wrap for me (without me looking at them at all). So here's what I have coming my way:

Sets
UCS Tumbler
Ghostbusters ECTO-1
Dr Who
EXO Suite
Gingerbread House (freebie)


Books
Lego Collectors Guide Vol 2
Mining Customisation 2

Mags
Lots of back Issues of Blocks

Should keep me busy for a little while :)

Bumblepants

I will just enjoy my kids enjoying their new Lego. And I hear rumors of a local shop doing 30% off everything in late January so I might get myself something then from the 2016 sets.

brumey

if i could choose 2 sets for me as a christmas present i would take:
#4182 cannibal escape
and
#79117 turtle lair invasion

those 2 sets are just too damn cool!
i ll bricklink them if i have money left after buying my TRX THUD RUMBLE.

DUB is my friend!

khmellymel

I usually ask for "any Creator, Marvel or Star Wars set under £20" (even if I already own it they would be great for parts or figs), but the fam thinks the whole Lego thing is a bit strange and I actually never get any sets (my boyfriend does get me the odd minifig for my stocking).

I generally don't ask for anything else, I don't need anything and would rather buy for others, especially the wee children.  It's definitely the most Christmasy bit!  My 18 month old niece in particular is racking up quite a pile this year, I might have gotten a little carried away...  

piratemania7

I will probably put a Pirate set or two under the tree, yes, after I take down from the shelf and wrap and put a nice tag on it that says "from Santa".  At least I can act surprised and then open. build and display, right? RIGHT??

Bosstone100

I pretty much bought everything I wanted. I do put Creator animal sets on there. I've been buying three of each so I don't have to take anything apart. Still need a few of those so through them on my Amazon wishlist.

Fodder

If I don't get a real-life human sized BBQ from my wife, I'll be getting the Kwik-E-Mart.

DNA

The only thing I have on my wish list is a box of scotchmallows but I found my gift two days ago. I went into the attic looking for some extra Christmas lights and saw a Lego bag in a clear crate off to the side. Technic Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245. I spend time admiring that set every time I'm at the Lego store. 

ryjay

3 kids and none of them have any legos on their list :(  
I'm just waiting for the bank, but the interest is kinda waning as I'm the only one showing interest.

joee

Im in the same boat 2 boys and neither wants lego!  I'm hoping for the Mill Village Raid.

SithLord196

I got my fiance the Pegasus Sleigh from Elves and will most likely also be getting her the Bakery from that theme and Elsa's Ice Palace.

Last year she got me the Palace Cinema. I don't generally ask for any sets though, as my tastes for sets have grown well past what I want anyone spending on me.

madejp86

well I can cross off the tumbler off my list for xmas, getting it for the birthday a week earlier. Hmm the palace would be a good sub

TCSBGDADY

#10179.....(sigh)......but I doubt I have been that good!  Wish I had bought it back in Florida when I first saw it and had it in my hand in the Lego store at Downtown Disney.

piratemania7

As long as it is a happy and healthy one, I don't care what is under that green tree.
