It's a little late for ordering Christmas presents (unless you're me, or half a dozen other people I know who live far apart from all their relatives and for who "it's all good as long as things arrive before Easter"[0]), but I thought I'd take a moment to plug the Doctor Who Store because I've been wanting one of their Dalek toys since I saw them at ComicCon. And while I am not quite willing to drop $124.95 on a radio controlled Dalek[1] , I have ordered some of the Rolykin Daleks as Christmas presents[2].

[0] There is a distinct cut off right around Easter. My ex-wife's mother once sent out Christmas presents proclaiming them as "An Easter Miracle". I am told she was teased about it for years afterwards.
[1] Sorry, I make a little bit less than John Carmack. Ok, a lot less. But the radio controlled Daleks are really cool... and I could get a radio controlled Dalek to shoot at the radio controlled R2D2 that one of our designers has... hmm...
[2] I also bought a Rolykin Special Weapons Gunner Dalek for myself. If you saw the episode with the special weapons Dalek you probably want one too. Unfortunately, I shipped it to my parent's house along with the rest of the order, that way I have to go visit. 4 years being a bit long between visits...
