It's Valentines! Lets hear your stories...

[Shropt]

Happy Valentines everyone!

This is that one day that men and women are allowed to be mushy and talk about love. I'm not talking about love between a man and his Jabba, I mean real love.

I want to hear peoples great stories where their loved one bought them a toy, understood the purchase of a toy, or heck, even broke up over a toy.

I'll start. My wife is actually a little sad right now that she couldn't get me a toy for Valentine's day. She's been searching for weeks for a R4-K5 (Vader's astromech) from Hasbro. She even went so far as to secretly cut out the back of a Saga card from the trash so she would remember who the little droid was. Now that is love!

[Customikey]

My wife is on the verge of killing me because I may have to go to rehearsal tonight instead of staying home, AND my throne is coming today.:monkey3

[Bardoon]

My girlfriend sent me some frosted cookies for Valentine's Day :) I love 'em!

I sent her flowers and a box full of stuff.

Plus a Victoria's Secret Giftcard to get some lingerie! :rock

[abstractharmony]

I've got my wife nothing!

Nor has she got me anything.

Why?

Because everyday's like Valentine's Day in our house...except for the days when I get a delivery of toys and then it all goes a bit frosty...

[Anthos]

My wife and I just had a baby in September, so a small present this year and a card from our daughter was all we did. I personally don’t care for the holiday, but most guys can really only hope to break even that day. Women really have high expectations generally for V-day

[PosterBoyKelly]

When in doubt, I whip it out, say I'm in a Rock N' Roll Band...IT'S A FREE FOR ALL!!!

[Darth Loki]

I HATE Valentine's Day. If you love someone, you should show them everyday, not just Feb. 14.

The commercialism of this Hallmark holliday makes me sick. The notion that you don't love someone unless you spend a couple hundred dollars on them is disgusting. And the "To get what you want, you better give her what she wants" adds make me want to vomit.

So F Valentine's Day!

Well, I don't hate V-Day as much as you, but I do agree in that it's been blown to an ugly scale and too many people have come to make it one of a handful of days a year they give their loved one all they've got, and I totally believe that you should give 100% everyday.

Well, my V-Day plan was to be with my girlfriend today and proposing to her and being able to call up all of my friends and say hey guess what...a very nice compensation to being away from home when the might Jabba came to me...but alas, a bump in the road was hit and plans have been squashed, so now I'm spending it stuck at home alone with no girlfriend, and mighty Jabba is being dropped at work which is too far away for me to drive to amidst the nice ice storm my area is getting pounded with. Perhaps someday, I'll have a V-Day that doesn't feel dysfunctional.

Having found my Booyah! on the Sideshow Freaks Board was my best Valentine's present ever!!!!!!!!! Or even best present ever, does not even have to be Valentine's day for it. I am the luckiest girl on Earth. He even comes with an instant Star Wars collection and I with an instant Lord of the Rings and little Marvel collection. :)

My Valentine's gift for him was the Star Wars bookends... and I made him a special album that he still needs to receive and I sent him also another prezzie but I cannot say what it is because it is in transit lol.

But he gave me the best present ever. He gave me my own star. My name forever in the International Star Registry in the Andromeda constellation. Talk about the most romantic gift ever. Then he also sent me flowers but since we are having a serious snow, ice blizzard/Nor'Easter... I will not be at work and I doubt that they will deliver my flowers today. So I will get them tomorrow. :chew :chew

After being alone for 9 years... being in love is the best thing ever... especially when you have such a great connection with someone.

Thank you Sideshow and Freaks for bringing love into my life and not only with the wonderful statues that brought us together.

[El Roranous]

I didn't even realize it was V day today until this thread. :rotfl :rotfl

My girlfriend doesn't care about this ***** and if she did she wouldn't be my girlfriend.

FU*K Valentines Day

aww........how sweeet.....but I still think it's a crappy day coz my gf drove me crazy reminding me what I should get her for Valentine's Day! And I hate myself for buying her exactly what she wanted.......sigh!

[Shropt]

Wow, my thread has gone down the tubes.

Let's try this again. The idea of the thread was to tell stories related to toys that involve your significant other. I guess you can slam V-day all you want, but I would still like to hear some stories.

So, let's hit that reset button and try again.

PS. Here are some bunnies to brighten everyone's day.

Too bad that some people say what they want to have for anything. I like to be surprised and surprise people because then you have to put thought in it and it will come from the heart. That has a lot more meaning for me. But that is just me ;)

You are absolutely right! Booyah is a lucky guy!:D

[Customikey]

Could we not call Valentine's Day "VD?" It makes the posts sound gross.

[Nessasita]

You are absolutely right! Booyah is a lucky guy!:D

Trust me... I am the lucky one :o

When you are alone for a long time you tend to give up on love. But for me it was definitely worth the wait. :D

Hmmmm, you want us to write about stories related to toys and our significant other :lol

I have a feeling this thread will be in the Sandbox in about 15 minutes.

Sorry, some men don't need toys to satisfy our ladies. A long tongue and good technique work just fine :monkey5

[MaulFan]

Well if it's the sandbox, then I'll post this question here lol.

Of the gents who are receiving Jabba today, what's more desirable for you, diving into Jabba's box on V-Day, or your girl's?

[Shropt]

Alright, maybe less than 15 minutes :monkey3

That's actually a good question. I guess it depends on how often you're getting it. I only get to see my girl once every week or two so I'd have to take the second one. Six months ago, I would've taken the first though.

[Darth Loki]

I didn't even realize it was V day today until this thread. :rotfl :rotfl

My girlfriend doesn't care about this ***** and if she did she wouldn't be my girlfriend.

WORD!!!!!!!!

[gdb]

My gift to my girlfriend is as easy as 1-2-3.

Step one cut a hole in a box.

Step two put my junk in that box.

Step three make her open the box.

I would have to agree with you there Roranous. V-Day is just a Hallmark created holiday to sell candy, flowers, and cards. Women like it because they get to feel all special and all that crap; and guys like it because they get some. And believing anything otherwise is being ignorant. Come on, you all know I'm right.

Now that rant is over, I'm going to go cry in the corner and be all alone on V-Day...:monkey2 :monkey2 :emperor

[King Darkness]

I once had a threesome on Valentines Day.

The bad thing is that I was to drunk and high to really remember it:monkey4

[swabie2424]

I'm not a huge Valntines Day guy either... Hallmark crap is correct-o!

However... and this is a big however... my wife is into it. So I'm screwed. I got her a pink ipod shuffle (which she wants desperately) this year and am taking her to dinner tonight. That pretty much gets me off the hook for sure. I think I'll spring for flowers too... that always works.

[vespagirl]

If you love someone, you should show them everyday, not just Feb. 14.

AMEN, BRUTHA! Celebrate the special people in your life on any random day and not because the calendar, commercials, and all that crap out there says you should. That being said - now I'm gonna kick back and wait for the UPS man in my life to bring me an armful of Sideshow packages! :rotfl

[El Roranous]

Man I just don't understand why girls think that this is a day that they deserve expensive gifts for no damn reason. Sure express your love but why in the Hell do you need an iPod lady!?

[swabie2424]

You guys just hit on a key to marriage success. Not that it has to be big or expensive (because you can't put a price tag on love right?)... but a surprise gift every once and a while goes a loong way to keeping things spicy! I try and do it at least 5-6 times a year.

My wife is always like... "uhm what is this for?" I say... "It's just because I love you"... and she melts and all is good in the world. She thinks it's thoughtful and romantic. Two things many guys fail at for their ladies.

Just a tip from your friendly neighborhood swabie!

Woot!

[swabie2424]

why in the Hell do you need an iPod lady!?

Hey Roranous... no biggie but my wife doesn't NEED an ipod. Nor does she expect it. I got it because I wanted to.

P.S. Not to brag.. but nor is that an expensive gift with our income level.

:) :) :)

[El Roranous]

I was just making a point that you just made in your previous post. It shouldn't be about the day, the gift should not be an obligation. Valentine's Day is an obligation. If you do purchase your wife gifts, it shouldn't be because of this crappy holiday.

[El Roranous]

Oh and I can see how my original post may have come off as offensive. I realize that no one really needs an iPod. I was just being dramatic and trying to make my point seem more important. :o

[El Roranous]

Do you forgive me Swabie, after all it is V day. :love

[swabie2424]

Do you forgive me Swabie, after all it is V day. :love

No forgiveness needed! I just wanted to put in my two cents!

Woot! :peace :peace :peace :banana :banana

The first time my Sweetheart/fiancee bought me a Sideshow Collectible, we were at the comic book store. I took here there so she could look for her Wonder Woman items, which she did find a few. The store also had a 1/6 Hellboy, so i got that off the shelf. As I did some more browsing, i.e. she got one of the store guys to distract me and look at some of the Sideshow figures a bit farther from the register, she went ahead and paid for the figure.

I was like... awww

Actually, when we first started dating, SHE was the first to ask ME how i felt about a girl who had a collection, namely Wonder Women. I said, well, I collect stuff too. And she's since then seen my collection and even asks about new stuff coming out. When we talk about the home we would buy. she's agreed to a collection room for the both of us. I even buy her Wonder Woman collectibles too. I asked, will you ever ask me to stop collecting or get rid of mine? She responded, "will you ever tell me to lose the Wonder Woman items?" i said "No." and she said "then there you go" :)

I've found my perfect woman, and I am not letting her go.

I got my wife lunch at the Olive Garden. That's not quite as romantic as flowers and your own star.

But I do have a mole on my leg that has grown large enough to deserve its own identity. Perhaps I shall name it after her!!!

Love is an intoxication, it blinds you to reality, makes you act in ways you normally wouldn't, and leaves you worn down and unwilling to function when it's over.

Sup guys!
Well, Happy Valentine's to all of you...
i personally feel its heavily commercialised...everywhere i go i see couples, the women with flowers in hand...most people don't get the idea of it huh?
don't see the point of being extra nice to your special someone just on the day itself..jeez!
anyway my story?it was kickass! i spent the day at home till my date at night.....with the weights!hahah!
and one helluva date it was...it lasted 45 minutes,and it was exhausting
haha!
guess i'd be taking someone special out any other day than on vday.
cos...for me, everyday's vday!
haha
peace, my friends

My gift to my girlfriend is as easy as 1-2-3.

Step one cut a hole in a box.

Step two put my junk in that box.

Step three make her open the box.

Bwahahahaha! perfect.

I'm with most of you guys on Valentine's Day. Not a big fan. It was fun in elementary school, handing out Star Wars valentines to everyone in the class and eating WAY too much food with Red #5 in it, but not so great for relationships. Besides I don't like the pressure of gift exchange :lol

[MaulFan]

Relationships period are a dark path for collectors, you're not easily going to get away with spending $400 on Jabba and throne then spend $50 on your significant other for V-Day or some special day.

[Darth Caedus]

My gift to my girlfriend is as easy as 1-2-3.

Step one buy empty popcorn bag

Step two cut hole in popcorn bag

Step three put junk in popcorn bag

Step four put popcorn in bag

Step five put in movie and wait.....

Step four can be dangerous when adding hot butter...

I hate V-Day for one reason and only one. I spent over an hour waiting for a table to eat dinner before I had to get on a flight. Did I get to eat NOOOOOO:monkey4. Damm these people and there V-Day. I am gone all week and my only option is to eat at restaurants and I can't even do that.

[venakin skywalker]

I have a 9 page thread dedicated to my hopeless romanticism.... haha yeah we chatted for quite a while. JTR knows what I'm talking about.. haha

[BDboystoys]

I HATE Valentine's Day. If you love someone, you should show them everyday, not just Feb. 14.

The commercialism of this Hallmark holliday makes me sick. The notion that you don't love someone unless you spend a couple hundred dollars on them is disgusting. And the "To get what you want, you better give her what she wants" adds make me want to vomit.

So F Valentine's Day!

I totally agree.

[creecher]

I agree too. Hey, does that mean there are other cheap singles, like me, around that scrounge their pennies for collectibles? That would explain my lack of companionship? Well waddya know. So that's why Vallentine's day means nothing to me. I guess divorce has given me an opportunity to love myself, and everyday IS Vallentines day, sans the flowers and the hoi palloy's indulgences. Maybe it's time for something else.

[JustinLuck]

Took my girl to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. California Club is delish! Got her a card. She didn't get me anything! :lol But that's ok because she works 12 hour shifts and we do stuff for each other throughout the year.
