Bob Harris Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I got my gift in the mail today! :biggrin: It comes all the way from Oz which indeed is on the opposite side of our lovely planet! It contains a lot of white worms... Oh, Caramel Koalas and rainbow colored Candy Canes! Never saw those Koalas before, but I do love me some Candy! Cool! I like that Wrap a lot! Wild guess: not Minimates. :tongue: Yeah!!! I always wanted to read that story arc and never ever got it. Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was looking for! :biggrin: So, Secret Santa. Let's see who you are. It comes from Oz, so that narrows it down. To be more specific, it comes from Canberra. And to be even more specific, it comes from the National Libraray of Oz and I only know one person working there. Thanks a lot Nessex! I really, really like what you got me and I'm looking forward to read it when I'm over at my parents' over the holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought sending it from work would be safer than sending it from me home. LOL. Glad you like it. We don't have many places here that sell minimates, so i was glad i was able to find something for you still. Merry Christmas Mate. Nessex always sends the best gifts.

And since I'm in the international pool and I do know that getting Minimates outside North America can be really hard, I put some other stuff on my list. And I'm really glad you picked that one. Thanks a lot. Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I got mine today! It was a very cool package with a BD Classic and Modern Cylons, 4 TF Minimate promos, and a very very awesome Black Cat sketch card. Given the participation in this thread, the interest in the Transformers thread, and comparing the artwork (that was fun) and given that the address was from San Jose, and I have no idea if he's still there or not, my only conclusion 9and probably wrong) is that this was Jcastick!

jcastick Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Nope, you are indeed correct!! And I am totally glad that you like everything! Hope you have a great Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 My present arrived in the mail today! My generous Santa sent me 2 blind bagged Doctor Who Character Builder figures (both Cybermen, which I needed!), a Gorilla Grodd minimate (who I needed to make another one of Red Ghost's Super Apes), this Doctor Who sticker, and best of all, a custom Age of Apocalypse Gambit!! I love this custom. I will post a pic of him with my other AoA figures soon. I am fairly certain that my Santa is none other than Bob Harris. Thank you so much!!

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) See?! I was totally planing on doing something like that! Hence my NM/AoA thread. That's a beautiful custom. Edited December 20, 2011 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 What can I say, you are right Luke. Was it that obvious? The package coming from Germany and all? :tongue: When I first read your list I was shocked, since I thought I couldn't get anything you wanted. Then I realized I did have a Gorilla Grodd. And then I realized my Comic Shop did have those Dr. Who packs. But I wanted to include a custom and for heaven's sake, I had no idea how AoA Gambit looked like - don't even mention those other AoA characters. And after googeling him I figured out he was even displayed with different styles. I liked the one wearing the brown jacket better than him wearing the cape. (My guess is he was first wearing the cape and later on went with the brown jacket, this scarf thingy being the rest of his cape? Never read AoA.) So I based him off of that little pic and that Marvel Legends custom. Glad you like him. :biggrin: Happy Holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I got my gift in the mail today! The two MAX sets I wanted the most: the Mountain Climbers and the Divers! Those pale in comparison to the CUSTOM FALCON that seriously looks like it's factory made! It's good old Sam Wilson in his red-and-white costume, complete with Redbird and comes in a custom single-box with bio on the back! It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen! Seriously, when I opened it from the tissue paper I thought somehow he'd gotten ahold of one that Diamond was releasing early and had surprised me with it. It's THAT flawlessly executed! I know who my Secret Santa is, as he was mine too and I recognize the address. It's LOBSTERMAN! What's even cooler is that I'm re-reading the Kirby '70's Captain America stories which star Falcon! Pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun working on that guy. I totally wanted to send you the TRU pack so he and Cap could tag team on Crossbones, but the bastitches at TRU.com spoiled that idea.

Punisher Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So I got my gift today, and I am blown away! My Secret Santa got me two Hand Ninja packs which I have been clamoring for, (Now I have an urge to get more than two!) 5 sketch cards of redesigned Batman villains and of course, Batman, AND a custom of said Batman redesign that includes a ton of sleek looking gadgets! Thanks a ton UNDEADPOOL!!!! Pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Holy crap. That's awesome. I'm not a big fan of Falcon, but I'm actually a little jealous I don't have one of those.

vbpanizzi Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I got my GIFT today, and again I am reminded how many amazing customizers there are on these boards. I got what is now my favorite holiday mate. Christmas Cap! Incase you can't tell from my crappy photography he has the holly symbol on his chest and back(which isn't photographed obviously). Included with this amazing piece were 2 Universal Monster series 2 TRU packs, the TRU Stealth MAX jet, and 2 of the blind packed LEGO figures. Boyd you are awesome!!! Thank you so much!! I still haven't stopped smiling about the Christmas Cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who my Santa is but thanks! there is some awesome stuff in there! what kind of awesome you ask? hit the link http://portraitofanaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/12/day-355.html Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Amazing stuff Jeff. I never would have thought to use those arms for a snowman but they are perfect. Nice stuff all around actually. And I'm loving that Christmas Cap also vbp. I always look forward to see what holiday custom boyd comes up with.

boyd Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Boyd you are awesome!!! Thank you so much!! I still haven't stopped smiling about the Christmas Cap. Ah, shucks. I'm glad you like him. I love seeing what everyone else gets, because there's some fantastic customs this year. Lobsterman's Falcon is incredible, Bob's AoA Gambit is great, Jcastick's Transformer logo blanks are swell, and I love Mattallica's Batmobile. And whomever made Minijeff's plethora of customs is pretty creative as well - that snowman is a great combination of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
