    CAP at least was a winner in the "Best Thread Contest"! Just notified that I won a $25 Amazon gift certificate in a random drawing of all voters. Life is good :D

    Wondering what to buy, and how far off topic this thread might go.

    Good for you Cap'n!

    Here's what I spent my Amazon gift card (from another source altogether) on:

    Amazon.com: Syma 16.5CM S026G 3.5Ch 3 Channel Mini Chinook RC Helicopter Gyro Small Toy Gift Army-green: Toys & Games

    I got mine from Battery SuperStore because of previous good experience with their Tenergy rechargeable batteries. I've done a lot of research on the micros before buying one to fly indoors; everybody raves about this particular little bird because it has the dual heads and is super stable AND super rugged, and NOW it has an electronic Gyro as well. I was thinking about one of the 107Gs:

    Amazon.com: Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter - Yellow: Battery Superstore

    because they have a great rep too, but there's been a lot of stink since this holiday season over counterfeit ones that have bad chargers.

    I got one of these to get the order up over 25$ for free shipping:

    Amazon.com: Country Moo Cow Can-In Despicable Me Movie July 2010: ToysNGamesEtc

    It STILL makes me and my son giggle in the movie; figured I might rig it up as a doorchime in his bedroom.

    They're due to deliver by end of week; I'll let you know if mine is as O'Rageous as they say it is!

    I got a $50 gift card from the forum for X-mas... t least I think it was from them. No notification other than the email that sent it. No PMs... Nothing.

    Keep up the good work!
