What Arcade Stuff do you hope you get for Christmas??

Just wondering what arcade stuff everyone hopes to find under the tree tomorrow..

Please post pics tomorrow of the items you recieved..

Here is what im hoping is under the tree:

#1 A new Hand Truck (prob wont happen wife is pregnant and might be too heavy for her to manage)

#2 Tron inner art from phoniex arcade

#3 Centipede to Millipede converter (so I can put the multi kit in my Caentpede cabaret)

#4 Some new buttons for Dragons lair
 
I would love and have always asked for a Star Wars cockpit.

Maybe some cool nerd/arcade game shirts

Arcade books. Its funny I always say these thing when asked but i think everyone tired of me talking games non stop so they never get me anything more to discuss with them...LOL
 
Asked for a game PCB and a marquee but I don't expect to get them. My family are not fans of buying off the internet unless it's a necessity. I would say which games they are specifically but when the family doesn't come through I'll likely buy them myself so I'd rather not draw attention to them unnecessarily and have them disappear.
 
my wish

this is what i want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

My wife is great she never complains when I'm working on my games or hanging out with my buddies in there. She likes the room and sees that is where our kids me, my three brothers, Dad, father-in-law, ect.. All congregate during thanks giving, Xmas, ect... That being said she doesn't go in there. Her and the wives and my sister etc all hang out in the living room. She thinks it's cool but wouldn't know the first thing to buy me for Xmas or where to look. That and I tell my kids not to spend their money on me, so any Arcade Xmas gifts I get are the ones I buy for myself and this year it was my Star Trek Captains chair

Merry Christmas guys,
 
I picked up a Marvel v Capcom in a Capcom Q Sound cab today, but I would really like a bezel for my SFII CE. I have it in my other blue, so it is 2 inches wider than a standard cab :(

Merry Christmas guys,

Your gameroom must be a blast around the Holidays...
 
I've been working so many overnights lately i had to get myself something nice.

I started with a smash tv cab from SRW, and today i paid for a bunch of midway/williams promo goodies.

I gave my buddy his replacement Williams droptarget art yesterday (rest of his gift is on backorder currently). and i found out he grabbed me a PSone portable 5" lcd monitor (that i will be making into a monitor for my supergun).

Also earlier in the week a buddy that moved down south sent me a package containing an old DFI NF3 250g motherboard (that needs a cap kit), and a nice new Mortal Kombat shirt :D

Happy Holidays everyone!!!
 
Shayne your game rooms frigging amazing! LOL

Well for the most part I got some of the pieces already, but i cheated and bought it for myself. LOL I was able to get a CRT Tester Rejuvenator and Universal Adapter, CRT Pattern Generator, Transistor Tester, Logic Comparator, Logic Probe, ESR Meter and some other assorted tools. I also got some rebuild parts for my centipede cabaret. She was okay with it, because like she said she wanted me to get these things but wouldn't know where to start to get them and what kind is the right kind etc.
Im lucky she loved the games as much as me. :) I managed to track down abunch of Tempest items, Graphics, PC game, Shirt and some other stuff. Next will be to get her a Tempest game.

Merry Ho Ho Everyone! :)
 
I think I've been good enough this year.

I think I'll be getting quite a few tools needed for restoring cabs.

I've already opened my router, which I'm stoked about.

I'm hoping to score a nice orbital sander, too.

I dont expect to get anything arcade related... Just little things from
the kids and I am treating myself to my first Tablet which comes Tuesday.

I've bought a metric crapload of arcade stuff this past year and spent a
TON of money doing. I think I've already gotten my Christmas all year long.

My wife has been VERY understanding about my arcade hobby.
I tell myself she doesnt really know how much I have spent, but she does
and hasnt said anything. Which makes her a saint. I made it a point to hook
her up this xmas. Its a jewlery xmas for her.

Merry Xmas Everyone!
 
I am the only one interested in Arcade in the house. Occasionally I may get a pacman t shirt as a gift, but all parts go through me. My wife would just as soon see my room burn down than me get any more parts.

I am so happy you guys have some sort of better arrangements
 
To get anything arcade, I have to buy it myself because my wife, kids, etc. do not know about arcade stuff. Anyway, on Christmas Eve, I brought home a dirty and gutted but solid Robotron cabinet. Family said it looked terrible...but I see the potential. I can see the classic waiting to be brought out. Have been collecting parts for awhile: marquee, populated control panel, control panel overlay, speaker assembly, lighting fixture, JROK board, etc. We can rebuild him....and now the major parts are all here...

Wife got me a Space Invader multi-tool key chain, Pitfall t-shirt, and Atari t-shirt. My mother-in-law was in the house no more than 15 minutes before she was on the Bride of Pinbot!
 
Pit-Fighter sideart posters and instruction card from bezel (scans are also welcome).

Jail Break - same as above + CPO decals
 
I got a little bit of cash which I'm sure will go towards arcade parts. I also got a Pac-Man fleece throw from a buddy of mine. :)
