GenetixJ Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I love the packaging job. It reminds me of the time I sent a 2'x3' board to a friend through the mail as a prank. Here's a picture for anyone interested in seeing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenetixJ Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Ok. Wow. I know its a bit early but I wanted to open it. When I saw where my Santa resides I knew the next week would pass at glacier speed. Wow! Many loose carts that I needed, some trade material, and... Intellicart. I can tell you it will be put to good use and kept by a collector for a future collector. The teepee in the background is my humble brag. I made it for my future Intellivision player. He can't play until he's 3. In closing I need to give many, many thanks to my secret santa. I feel like my package may be inadequate to a Canuck.

fsuinnc Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I got 3 shrink wrapped inty games, a nice O2 game, a deck of Intellivision playing cards, 2 music CDs, two Inty games for the A2600, some candy and what I am pretty sure is gummyBacon. Pretty damn sweet! This was a lot of fun, the sending and receiving. Hope everyone enjoyed it like I did.

fsuinnc Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Gee, I wonder who your secret Santa was So what's with the M Network(?) Sharp Shot? I am in Florida visiting Family for the holidays and won't be back with my A2600 until the New Year. But, I am very intrigued. It's probably a one of kind prototype of the best game ever made for the Atari 2600 but I won't know for sure until next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_intv Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Love the Sons Of Lombardi Tshirt, and the local Kansas City brewed whisky, double chocolate flavoured vodka, bacon and jalapeño flavoured beef sticks and the Jack Stack Barbecue Kansas City Hot BBQ sauce! I can't wait to try it. Also a Kansas collectable quarter coin! Thank you very much Secret Santa! It really was a great day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm finally home and feeling better (caught a nasty super-flu bug in my travels) and I can reply to all the posts directly now from my computer. I see that everybody got their presents except one... But that's OK, because Santa told me some Custom Officers in France got coal in their stocking this year! Humph! If anybody else haven't received their presents, please notify me and I'll try to figure out what happened. On with the show... Here's a picture for anyone interested in seeing it... Haha! I can see why that packaging can cause consternation at the Post Office! It looks like a fruit-cake attached to a pipe-bomb! A very festive explosion of cheer!! Found a few minutes of quiet time while everyone else was out finishing up some last minute details. I must have been a really good boy this year because Santa was really really nice to me...I absolutely LOVE this poster! My 10 year old and I are both big Utopia fans. This will definitely get framed and hung! I also received more variety of Snickers than I knew existed (by the way the kids are back and want to do some taste testing but I'm going to make them wait), heath bars, paydays,and lots of peanut M&M's. Yum!Last but not least, there was also a sweet magnet and sticker from one of my favorite games, Christmas Carol! Totally awesome and greatly appreciated!Thank you Santa! He! He!, I heard Santa say, "You like Snickers, uh? You get Snickers!!!" Also, don't ignore the little "Micro-Changers" packet there; Santa always says, no matter the age and no matter the size, everybody gets a toy on Christmas! I suppose I made a mistake sending a little dog as I see the recipient still hasn't received it! but c'mon at least you can rebuild the skeleton these holidays, hoho Well, perhaps he'll get it for Halloween, when it's more appropriate! Ok. Wow. I know its a bit early but I wanted to open it. When I saw where my Santa resides I knew the next week would pass at glacier speed.Wow! Many loose carts that I needed, some trade material, and... Intellicart.

He can't play until he's 3. In closing I need to give many, many thanks to my secret santa. I feel like my package may be inadequate to a Canuck.IMG_0559.JPG Looks like some awesome loot! Don't forget to post pictures of your little one playing when he's finally able! I got 3 shrink wrapped inty games, a nice O2 game, a deck of Intellivision playing cards, 2 music CDs, two Inty games for the A2600, some candy and what I am pretty sure is gummyBacon. Pretty damn sweet! This was a lot of fun, the sending and receiving. Hope everyone enjoyed it like I did. Inty Santa.jpg Gummy Bacon, who knew! My wife themed my birthday this year with bacon, and I got bacon-flavoured jelly beans! Surprisingly, they smell and taste like real bacon! Love the Sons Of Lombardi Tshirt, and the local Kansas City brewed whisky, double chocolate flavoured vodka, bacon and jalapeño flavoured beef sticks and the Jack Stack Barbecue Kansas City Hot BBQ sauce! I can't wait to try it. Also a Kansas collectable quarter coin! Thank you very much Secret Santa! It really was a great day. That looks like a very a propos Christmas present to fuel a day of Intellivision gaming. Thank You Secret Santa!!!You Rock !!! Cheers Yeah! Rockin' Christmas for a Rocking' Dude! Awesome!!! Wow, this poster looks fabulous framed!Thanks again Santa! It does look fabulous. I had only peaked at it casually earlier, but it is very well done and I am very glad you like it. Unfortunately, as I returned from my trip I noticed that there were a few more items that I struggled to acquire but forgot to include in your package: a couple of Intellivision catalogues a home-baked Christmas Carol cookies. The cookies are gone (sorry), but I will ship the catalogues separately. Christmas keeps on coming! Fushek is awesome.Thank you all for making Christmas even more fun!IMG_0742.JPG Wow! Star Wars trading cards!!! Those look like the ones I had when I was 7 years-old! Fushek is awesome!!! Merry Christmas everyone! -dZ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 He! He!, I heard Santa say, "You like Snickers, uh? You get Snickers!!!" I've been trying to pace myself. I've eaten the crunchy Snickers and the Almond Snickers (as well as a Heath bar and one of the Daim bars from my Swedish Santa). They have all been delicious! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Hey BBWW, Question is will you still remember what you figured out by Christmas next year.. I know I will probably forget by then.. I have problems remembering what I did an hour ago... lol Beer anyone !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I think I could have done a better job on this. LOL I have this figured out by next year! Thanks for doing this. Jay Hey, Jay, Why do you say that? If you participated in this and you sent a present, then you did alright. This was never about stuff; it was about getting to know each other and sending a nice present to someone else. By the way, you could never go wrong with bacon, so there you go. -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
