My daughter iced skated to I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas when she was 5 - it was very cute.

I love that song

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy...

I'd also like an Armatron. My buddy Roland in Scotland had one of these. We played with it for hours, picking up junk and moving it left to right. I want lots of throwback toys from my childhood.

Has anyone seen one a MakerBot? This thing is pretty freaking cool. It's basically a 3D printer. It lets you print out 3D objects created in common drawing, rendering applications. You have to put it together yourself, which is pretty awesome if you like to build stuff or if you're a hardware kinda person. Then you're left to your own devices to create and print. My buddy Tavis just got one, here's a video (created all on the iPhone 4.0) of the first print.

My buddy has an original Marble Madness machine. It's in great shape. Getting a Pac-Man/Galazian shouldn't be a problem and could be a lot cheaper than you might think.

I'll donate $10 towards your purchase. Now you only need 9,999 to 10,999 other friends to do likewise and he may be yours.
