What's "Santa" bringing you this year?

Conemaugh's Witty post got me thinking, what are we all sneaking under the christmas tree for ourselves this year (or perhaps stuffing away into our offices/closets/collections before our significant others see it... all in the name of giving ourselves a chunk of metal for the holidays)

Note this is different from Easy8's question of what others may be putting under the tree for you

Myself:

The Corgi US35307 PBJ-1 (B-25) VMB-433, Solomon Islands Flightline Collection.

Got a sweet deal on it that I could not pass up...

And perhaps... still waffling... the Flight Line B-17 Nine O' Nine...

Re: What's "Santa" bringing you this year?

Well i for one know i'm getting too many planes this christmas all these pre-orders are hitting me right now.
I just got two shipping confimations for Ding Hao and Black PBY and i have two other A-10's coming in today....
I have a feeling this is going to cost me something
I'll just add a extra special diamond ring for my wife...

A diamond ring will do the job Starman.

Re: What's "Santa" bringing you this year?

I expect the Mule shipment anyday now but I am always looking for another P40. I love those planes. just missed one on ebay but I will be on the alert for any that pop up. I wonder just how many different models of the P40 are made? Anyone have any ideas on that?? I have a lot of them but as you all know diecast seems to breed overnight and before you know it they are everywhere. you chaps have cost me a fortune tempting me all the time with one after another post about even more superb models. Long may it continue.
 

God Bless America.

Re: What's "Santa" bringing you this year?

Well, Santa (aka The Flying Mule) has just dispatched my Snafu PBY, F-104 "Really George", HM Stuka, and FOV P-40. Hope they make it all the way to NZ before Christmas! (Shipments from the Mule usually arrive here within 5 days, so might even get a chance to have a peek at these models before they go under the tree!!!
