+swlovinist Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Received my Secret Santa package yesterday. Thank you so much John! I wanted to wait until Christmas...but I just couldn't! This is some great stuff. I do not own any big box PC games. Well, I guess now I do! Merry Christmas! PS: The Hershey's bar has already been consumed You are most welcome. I supported a local vendor and he had some unique PC games I have not seen in person. One of the games had a bonus game from the same company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) ( Sorry for the images. iPhone sideways crap upon upload. ) Merry Christmas one and all! My wife and I opened my Secret Santa package today and I am extremely happy. Thank you! First off - everything was individually wrapped. I wish I had the time to do that with mine. It is such a nice touch. Nerds, Gobstoppers and Jolly Rancher canes. We are in heaven right now with the sweet goodness. Found myself a brand new Star Trek book I have not read before! Love it! (This will be finished faster than the candy I guarantee it!) Next package had an awesome tie dye Pac-Man shirt! This is gorgeous and I will actually have to fight with Dawn about who gets to wear it when we go to Funspot next year. And finally - a Star Trek game I have never heard of before. I own Castle Panic though so I know I am going to love this themed version! Thank you Santa! I didn't think I was THIS good this year! Ho ho ho!!!

+swlovinist Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thank you so much for the Secret Santa gifts. Some of our Christmas Packages were stolen by porch thieves. I am grateful for the replacement gifts and love them! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Opened my Secret Santa gifts today. I got the best gifts. I got a Star Wars Lego A-Wing, reses pieces, gummy savers, boxed copies of Motorodeo and Super Huey, Pixels on Bluray and Activision socks. The best is the Santa Alien shirt that I am wearing for Christmas today. Thanks Santa! Your the best! Here is the happy little boy that grabbed the A-wing and is building it!

Grig Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Many thanks to my Secret Santa Zeptari! In addition to the great candy, I opened my SS gift last night. Superb. I did not have the C64 or A8 games. Those will go nicely into my machines for some play time. I did not have the C64 disks either. The PSone game looks great as well, this will give me a reason to fire up my PS2. Love the Conan comic and the Analog mag. I will be taking the book with me to work (mwahaha) to read during down time. Thanks again to my Secret Santa, your gift rocks! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Opened my Secret Santa Claus package today. Forgive me for my crummy pics. I'm using a crappy digital camera: A few video game vinyl figures, A Pac-Man Mashem, A Steam Card, a Pac-Man Lapel pin, Lots of Milk-Duds (Yum!) , A Chessie System Diesel tree ornament which will fit nicely on My N scale layout and a C64 game titled, The Train! Awesome stuff! Thanks Secret Santa! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tremoloman2006 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I want to say thank you to my Secret Santa! I haven't been able to open my gifts yet as I traveled out of state to visit my family. As soon as I get home I'll open them and post pics! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 My wife had my package hidden until Christmas. Thanks Santa. I will have to see if these "new" Electronic Football games have the same play as the original Mattel version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 For that matter, there exists bio-degradable packing peanuts which specifically are edible. Perhaps they don't taste much or very good but definitely safe to eat. A few links: http://puffystufftn.com/about.html https://www.allure.com/story/lush-edible-packing-peanuts Someone even tried to turn them into puffy Cheetos, though not very successful: http://www.thepizzle.net/how-to-make-cheetos-at-home-with-packing-peanuts/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segasaturn Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Sorry I’m a little late to the party! I love my secret Santa gifts. I got some record albums! That was my favorite part. (My favorite album was the Elvis Christmas album. I actually listened to it on Christmas!). They all play great! I got a good needle I just need to look on where to get a new needle eventually.....I also got some French taffy. To be honest I never had taffy before I’ll look forward to trying some. Also got a super Mario checker board game. That was pretty nifty. Among little things here and there. Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 How is the Cheech & Chong album? I saw it and though, why not? And if you ever played the guitar, the great pioneer Les Paul. (Even though he is not a real Paul, we accept him.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
