It has been observed by several people this thread is lacking pictures, let me remedy that with a long rambling pic-filled post.
(sorry I don't take the greatest photos, my wife is the photographer :$ I just swipe her camera when needed)
On Christmas morning I opened my 1st (you read that right) Secret Santa package: From the Tyrell Corp

Either the shipper got rough or one of the replicants made an escape attempt (Roy, obviously
) but the box held him and he has been poured safely back into his jar. :lol
I hadn't seen Blade Runner for a few years, so I rented it on the 27th and we watched it 3 times, (the Final Cut, which I had not seen before). I just got my 1st Blu-ray player this month so the 3 disc blu-ray set now tops my acquisitions list. :cool
I'm thinking of a black lacquered display base with LED lit Lucite plaques that have inception and retirement dates for the replicants, and I'll be pulling out my mat-cutter to frame the pictures, money and letters. Now I need to get a gun to go with the ammo box! :devil you started me down yet another obsessive prop road, Thanks Santa, this stuff is awesome!
thumbsup:cheers
Part 2: I was on my way out to my family's Boxing Day party on the 26th and met the mailman with a package addressed to Bigdaddy.
Death From a Desk, had sent me a package after I had been reassigned to another Santa, he's a standup Dude in my book.

"Just because we're bereaved, doesn't make us SAPS!!" :lol
I find it wonderfully ironic that I got cremation remains from one SS and an urn from another!
thumbsup
Further irony: I have been the keeper of my grandmother's ashes since 1995, (in the most modestly priced receptacle they had) and she drank a lot of Folgers coffee, however I got a rather black look when I suggested grandma might like the new urn. :lol so for now I'll fill it with ashes from the woodstove, Thanks DFAD I love it! :cool
Just to add some more pictures to the thread here is what I sent to brandomack glad you liked it bro!
When I saw you were doing a JB man-cave I thought "perfect, I saw somebody making a Skyfall sign!" I searched it out and... :facepalm it looks awesome!
I looked high and low for a black bow but in a town of less than 1000 there aren't many options, then I went to the store all the kids rent prom tuxes from and they had a better than perfect "bow" for a James Bond package.
Gold for Bond's recent 50th:
