I say my wife and kids did a great job this year. They bought me this sign for the arcade. It is pretty darn big....and bonus the guy has 2 more sets if anyone is interested. These were old EA GAMES store outside light up sign (w/o the wiring).

LIke I mentioned, the guy has two sets left. My daughter went in (at a antique consignment stor) and said she only had $100, and it was for her dad. Little known until she bought them, my wife was sitting outside in the truck waiting. Then they went back in to buy some more stuff from other vendors....with more than the 100 bucks left...trust me.
 
I got an Aero Fighters 3 cart (label Japanese and ripped), a Puzzle Bobble 2 kit and a Blazing Star kit! Pretty awesome. My Neo is very happy right now :D
 
I got some vintage pacman fabric that I plan on framing

Game related Christmas gifts:
-Craftsman cordless drill 2 pack(regular and a right angle drills)
-A set of ratching combonation wrenches
-A nifty telescoping pick up magnet with built in light(to grab those screws you drop way out of reach)

Granted nothing listed jumps out and screams "arcade", but we all know how valuable tools are with these games :D
 
A GQ4X Programmer. I am totally geeking it up right now. I absolutely love it. I can finally put my old POS Dell to good use, I knew it would come in handy some day!

The only one I got....If you don't count the hi score kits I got myself!
 
My wife got me some specialty Dremel bits that I hope will work well on CPs. Not arcade-related, but she also got me a great Nixie tube clock kit; I'll be soldering that puppy tonight.
 
I forgot to mention the dimensions of the "GAMES" letters. They are 18" tall, and when spaced 1" apart, they are 9 feet long. There is only one place in the new house here in Albuquerque were it can fit....right over the skeeball machine! Super great gift.
