Christmas gift: brilliant? creative? mean?

[VUPDblue]

So I have decided to give someone their first AR for Christmas. What better way to learn than to assemble yourself?! I also want it to be a surprise (those of you who know who it's for, please keep quiet) and was trying to avoid having a rifle-sized present under the tree. I once heard that the AR was like a grown-up jigsaw puzzle. Perfect analogy.

I procured all the parts from Bushmaster and Magpul to assemble a complete rifle. I dumped said parts into a box...but not just ANY box.


This box!!!!!! :

HUGE and immeasurable thanks to INGOer RobbyMaq for the artistry and production.


The question for the hive is:

Is this brilliant, creative or just plain mean?

I think that's an awesome gift. Two thumbs up.

Wow! That's absolutely awesome!

I've gotta be honest though, it seems like a little much for the INGO Secret Santa, considering the $25 limit and all.

Brilliant!

You, sir, are an evil genius. Well played.

Brilliant: check
Creative: check
Mean: are the instructions in Spanish?

That's something I would do, so my wife would think it's mean. Of course, if I could keep the parts from rattling around, I would have used something like an Easy Bake Oven box or make it look like he was getting a box of underwear and socks.

That's pretty sweet! I like the "18,000 pieces". I'd say it qualifies on all three counts.

Like a "Lightning Link" and an anonymous tip to the ATF?

My parents, to this day, buy me Legos for christmas. They have also started including my son in this tradition. Maybe I can ask them to broaden their definition of a 'lego'? Anyways, fine job with the gift, very well done.

That's awesome. I'm 34, I still get some small LEGO set every year for Christmas just as I have since I was about 4 or 5. I plan to carry on this tradition whenever I have kids.

Well done, sir.
