groundhog7s Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 This has become a bit of a Secret Santa tradition, along with a custom Christmas card, that I send to my "child" every year. Great tradition BS. Mine was urinating on the package before sending it. It's probably best that I'm just running things this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 My Secret Santa gift arrived today! I got a Courtroom Peter Venkman / Washing Square Ghost pack, a Spirit two-pack and the Spirit box set (which is great, because I just thought of a great use for the Spirit trenchcoat last week). With my gifts came a nice handwritten note of holiday cheer, with some clever clues about their identity. Good thing I remembered how nice your Barta contest entry was, Robbie! Thanks for the great gifts! Hey Boyd, Glad you liked them, now I have to send you the surprise for figuring me out! Still haven't guessed my Santa...

blacksun1520 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well, I had an additional birthday surprise in my mailbox today! My Secret Santa sent me the 3rd GB box set that I've been needing, a cute little Christmas tree Lego set, and some yummy chocolates, which lasted about 5 minutes Thank you Santa, from Portland! I'll try harder to figure out who you are later BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My urine drenched SDCC 2003 Yelo Promo arrived this afternoon. I'm very grateful & the DNA results may well resolve the matter of the limping pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 You guys think your Secret Santa is awesome? Mine wrote the book on awesome. I got my package in the mail today, and I had to scoop my jaw up off the floor. First, a little background: When I sent off my wish list, among other things I added several customs on the list, as I love getting customs from other people. One of the customs on the list was Benjamin Grimm, as I am a huge FF nut. My SS passed a message through groundhog asking which version of Ben I preferred. I sent along a comic scan from the Thing series where he changed back and forth from Ben to the Thing regularly. The first thing I pulled out of my package was this Benjamin Grimm custom: He looks stunning, like he walked right out of the comic! I also had a feeling I might be getting the next custom that I pulled from the box, as I had requested a Sweeney Todd kubrick, and my SS passed another message to groundhog, asking if I would like a custom minimate of this character. My SS produced this awesome custom: Now having these two customs alone would have been more than enough to make me ecstatic, and I was already grinning from ear to ear, but there were plenty more goodies to be found in this box: Jarvis Jack Skellington Alicia Masters Swarm Aunt May Wrecker Black Tom My Secret Santa made EVERY SINGLE CUSTOM ON MY LIST!!! And every one is a slam dunk!! I have been in a stupor ever since I opened this. It is definitely one of the nicest thing that anyone has ever given to me. And who do I have to thank for this amazing gift? I would know that customizing style anywhere, brobotc! Thank you SO MUCH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Harris Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Me. But that's totally O.K. I guess a big difference to last years secret santas is that Granny put all 'verser together to get pairs. Raideen usually seperated North American versers from us Europens for instance. That I guess made sure the deliveries were mostly right in time. To ship a package from Germany to the US might take up to 3 to 5 weeks, though. Anyway, I really like the idea that we're not seperated by the distance and I for this time was really glad who my Secret Child is. And I'm gladly willing to accept my gift arriving a little late this year. Oh, and merry Christmas, folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wow am I an idiot. So apparently this whole time I have been trying to figure out my Secret Santa the clue has been staring me right in the face. Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts vbpanizzi, they were amazing! I'm sorry it took so long for me to figure out, when I opened the package I was in such a minimate stupor that I totally disregarded the envelope of your card which had your clue on it. Last night when I was pouring over my gifts again I noticed my mistake and the epic level of my FAIL. Thanks again, you went above and beyond and the gifts were fantastic!

Nessex Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm still waiting - but i suspect the number of Secret Santas who are over-seas from their 'child' means that some of the gifts might not arrive till New Year. . . so i'm not too worried.
