Christmas Saved, Gunship acquired!

Last Saturday my son told Santa he wanted a lego Gunship and that was it. Originally I thought I he wanted just any Star Wars ship as long as it came with Captain Rex. I looked through ebay and the prices were so high for it, and I figured Christmas would be ruined. Then last night on kijiji some one locally posted it 7163 for sale I was the first one to answer and picked it up today. He said he recieved lots of offers for it and even higher ones than what he listed it as but kept his word that he'd sell it to me. I'm so grateful to get it, it even came with extra figures including Rex!
I think it's karma. Years ago I was working at TRU and grabbed the last Lego Airport reissue 10159 during the holidays and was going to buy it at the end of my shift. When a panicked lady came in asking if we had any airports left as it was the only thing her son wanted for Christmas. I remember never getting the airport when I was young and gave it to her and it made her son's Christmas. Now I know how that feels too.
