OK So I am not allowed to say anything bad about Gregory

He sent me a very nice Green Lantern Hardcover and a VERY NICE Green Lantern Print.

We are renovating the bedrooms in the house and one is being converted into a comic room, play room so the Print will be hung on wall when done

After no updates since the 18th, there has been some movement over the weekend!  

It still says "in transit, arriving late" with no estimated delivery date, but there was an actual scan on January 2nd.  Progress!

It was scanned as "received" by the USPS on December 4th.  Today marks 1 month en route.  

Out for delivery!

Worth the wait!!! 

I don't know...I might win this year for most thoughtful gift received.  For starters, my request was just anything related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Shirts, hats, pins, comics...whatever.  My Santa got me a comic featuring the best turtle (Donatello) on the cover and a pretty sweet TMNT-inspired pizza cookbook that my boys and I are going to have a good time eating our way through (I think Crazy Corn and Bodacious Bean Pizza is on going to be first). 

I also got a great enamel pin to add to my collection.  This one looks like a vintage pin done in the 80's style of the cartoon. 

Finally, the most thoughtful part came in the form of a cassette version of the original soundtrack for the 1990 live action movie...a cassette that I wore out in my youth.  Why this tape?  My Santa did a little investigating and came across this thread from May last year where someone was asking about a TMNT sticker that they found in a box of old stuff and wondered about the origin.  As soon as I saw the sticker, I knew that it was included with the cassette.  I recounted in the thread how I really liked the sticker but was coerced into giving it to my cousin for his birthday and how my heart broke a little when he peeled it off and stuck it to his shirt. 

My Santa read that post and made it his mission to reclaim a small piece of my childhood for me.  He went to several stores and eventually found the tape, but it was missing the sticker.  He found the sticker online to complete the set and righted a cosmic injustice nearly 3 decades old. 

This gift required both research and a fair amount of legwork.  It felt very personal and I found it to be incredibly thoughtful.  For that, I have @Wolverinex to thank.  What a cool, thoughtful gift!  I couldn't have asked for a better Santa!  Happy New Year to you and yours! 

I've already added the pin to my board.  It sits on my desk and I look at it often.  I'm sure Mikey is going to bring a smile to my face every time I see him.  Thanks again!

So glad I was able to right that cosmic injustice. That mint sticker was a beast to  find.  Happy Holidays my friend.

Mine showed up at the beginning of the week but my slow ease back into work in the new year didn’t happen. Thanks to @the blob for some fun stuff. I’m really looking forward to reading the Hulk encyclopedia as he’s always been a favorite character but I’ve only just read books here or there. Have been wanting to start collecting runs of Hulk books. Really nice copy of Thor 339 for Beta Ray Bill, a great Sienkiewicz Moon Knight cover and some nice XMen related and other title for plenty of reading material to start the new year. This was my first year participating and I had a lot of fun on with the both the gift giving and receiving sides of things.

Sorry it took so long. I will confess there are a couple of re-gifts in there of things I already had, so you got the shrink wrapped ones.
