There was no name on the package, but after a little deduction, I'm almost 100% sure my Santa is @Volpin , so HUGE thanks to you good sir! You definitely made the child in me squeel :lol

Okay, I think that Steveo was my Secret Santa. I couldn't get back to the box cuz the hubby was hiding one of my gifts in my office/the second bedroom so it was off limits for a bit. But I was finally able to get the name and location tonight to go back and try to match it up.

I'm still in awe of the package as a whole and have been showing the pic I took of the painting to anyone who might care, and also to those that wouldn't. They've all been equally impressed by it. heh

I wasn't going to reveal which gift I sent, but there are enough people who will recognize it from photos I posted elsewhere, plus I was thinking of posting a build thread...

I sort of don't understand all the effort people put into sussing out who their Secret Santa was ... I mean, the whole point of the exchange, I think, is that you don't know! I happen to know who mine is only because he has a website where he sells the item he sent so it's pretty obvious but were that not the case, I don't think I would have hunted him down; to me, it's just more fun NOT knowing.

Some more amazing presents, I especially like the Supernatural shotgun shell display!

Are there still members waiting on their gift? I remember reading this was supposed to be a perfect year, is it official yet?

It has been observed by several people this thread is lacking pictures, let me remedy that with a long rambling pic-filled post. (sorry I don't take the greatest photos, my wife is the photographer :$ I just swipe her camera when needed)
On Christmas morning I opened my 1st (you read that right) Secret Santa package: From the Tyrell Corp
http://www.therpf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=268924&d=1388327301
The manual for Deckard's gun
fist full of off-world money
a set of Leon's photos
L.A. Police report on Leon's pistol
http://www.therpf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=268926&d=1388327556
Box of .44-40 Sonic Shock cartridges (for the series D -11 2018 model) :cool I love that it says "keep out of reach of children" :lol

The incinerated remains of the 4 Skin jobs that get "retired". yeah! :thumbsup

Either the shipper got rough or one of the replicants made an escape attempt (Roy, obviously ) but the box held him and he has been poured safely back into his jar. :lol
I hadn't seen Blade Runner for a few years, so I rented it on the 27th and we watched it 3 times, (the Final Cut, which I had not seen before). I just got my 1st Blu-ray player this month so the 3 disc blu-ray set now tops my acquisitions list. :cool
I'm thinking of a black lacquered display base with LED lit Lucite plaques that have inception and retirement dates for the replicants, and I'll be pulling out my mat-cutter to frame the pictures, money and letters. Now I need to get a gun to go with the ammo box! :devil you started me down yet another obsessive prop road, Thanks Santa, this stuff is awesome! thumbsup:cheers

Part 2: I was on my way out to my family's Boxing Day party on the 26th and met the mailman with a package addressed to Bigdaddy.
Death From a Desk, had sent me a package after I had been reassigned to another Santa, he's a standup Dude in my book. thumbsup

"Just because we're bereaved, doesn't make us SAPS!!" :lol

I find it wonderfully ironic that I got cremation remains from one SS and an urn from another! thumbsup
Further irony: I have been the keeper of my grandmother's ashes since 1995, (in the most modestly priced receptacle they had) and she drank a lot of Folgers coffee, however I got a rather black look when I suggested grandma might like the new urn. :lol so for now I'll fill it with ashes from the woodstove, Thanks DFAD I love it! :cool

Just to add some more pictures to the thread here is what I sent to brandomack glad you liked it bro!
When I saw you were doing a JB man-cave I thought "perfect, I saw somebody making a Skyfall sign!" I searched it out and... :facepalm it looks awesome!
I looked high and low for a black bow but in a town of less than 1000 there aren't many options, then I went to the store all the kids rent prom tuxes from and they had a better than perfect "bow" for a James Bond package.

Gold for Bond's recent 50th:

Thanks to my Santas, and thanks to Mike for organizing and running the exchange, at your request I PIFed, the Toys-for-Tots got extra SW toys this year (OT stuff, of course )
Happy New Year everybody!
