I hate those situations, where the person is feeling really glad to give a gift they think the recipient will enjoy, but you can not help but be disappointed with.

I understand exactly what you're saying but I usually don't mind it too much...I always appreciate the effort, especially since in my case it's pretty rare...If someone were to get me a figure I specifically passed up on my own, I'd be ok with it (espeically since it didn't cost me anything...)

Agreed! My Mom got me the Star Wars Transformers Millennium Falcon a couple Christmas' ago. It wasn't something I'd ever intended to buy, but you know what? It was the first TF she'd bought me in years, and I thought the sound chips were pretty cool. Hell, even if I just keep it in vehicle mode on a shelf it's pretty great. Sometimes the gifts you didn't know you wanted are the best kind.
