Mark me received!!! Couldn't be happier. I've been waiting to pick up one of these water guns since they were released. And the mini poster collection + Deadpool bracelet + green lantern ring are awesome too. But the blaster takes the cake. This is so perfect, thank you SS!

I know my Gift was received and they did open and liked the gift.

I was so excited about this gift I told several local friends what I was doing and they have been bugging me for pictures of the finished piece because they to thought the idea was awesome!

Of course I was very silly and did not take any pictures of it myself before shipping as I was so excited to get it in the post.

I just hope all is well with my recipient and that hopefully pics will show up either today or tomorrow.
 
Holy Christmas Batman ! I swear every year I am amazed at the gift I received !!
Secret Santa thank so much, I have been really lucky to have people who care and put thought into the gift(s) they send which counts so much more than any dollar amount.

I grabbed an unpacking shot with a very nice note. I went with the unpacking order you outlined.

- A 3D printed Tie Fighter - I will definitely keep this in the same color it is now. It is already on the tree and will continue to have a place on my tree for years to come

- Next was a R2D2 fidget spinner. I do not have one but mess with the one my kiddo has when she lets me so this one will stay at my desk to help me get thru meetings :) Also I LOVE ROBOTS - R2 and BB8 stuff are all over my office. Speaking of my kiddo she already snuck off with this spinner I will have to hunt it down after I post this.

- To top it all off was the Collectors Set for Blade Runner !!!! I have an old DVD copy with no extras or anything special just one of those used store purchases. I can not wait to sit down and do a viewing on New Years Day. Man it has some great stuff in it which of course I do not want to take out but will break down and look thru :)

I did Christmas with my family today and opened my SS gift. All the gifts were designed by my Santa and he has super good taste.

I got patches, pins, and challenge coins! Somehow my SS knew too well. I’m a former cop and have a challenge coin and patch collection at work. I’ll post more pics once they’re with the rest of my stuff. I also got a super cool embroidered luggage tag with a place for my name and “Property of Imperial Armory” on the other side.

My SS also did custom artwork on the card and it’s gorgeous. There was a nice personal note inside as well .

Two other gifts: a laser engraved “Trööpermeister” flask and a Raincor tooth necklace. I love them both so much and can’t wait to make a good chain for the Raincor tooth out of bone and metal.

Thank you Secret Santa so much. This is my second year doing this and I can’t wait for many more to come. A big thank you to Michael for putting this on as well. Merry Christmas to everyone around the globe.

This year I decided that I would open my SS gift as soon as it arrived, and thus, I have eagerly rushed to the door each time something is dropped off. But, ALAS, my plan of opening the gift early has been thwarted :lol. As of this morning my gift has not arrived, as such I had to leave my watchful post to visit my folks' place for the actual day in question. Hopefully when I go back home on the 26th, something nice will be awaiting me, the anticipation always kills me!

In other news, I am quite happy my recipient enjoyed their haul, even if my wrapping methods may have been "unconventional" I thought they ended up suiting the pieces quite well respectively, although I'll say no more, as it is still a "Secret" Santa, haha.

Merry Christmas Everybody! Keep the pictures coming!
 
Wow, I jumped up and opened my secret Santa gift and was blown away! Thank you! Thank you! I started with the littlest package and found a lego 2014 Advent Astromech! The next gift was a Universal Studios Creature Waterball! Woo woo! The next gift I opened was the leather map of Middle Earth! The last gift is the Geeki Tiki Gill-man! WOW! Thank you so much!

I finally got back into town last night from being away for work and what was waiting for me? This big ol' box of awesomeness:

To start, here's what I had waiting for me.

This is really cool, Kaneda and his power bike print. I'm gonna have this framed and put it in my office.

And then there's this...

Holy cow! I'm seriously blown away Gryphon37 you knocked it out of the park buddy! I've been wanting to get myself that book, and it's like you had a psychic connection or something. Thank you!

Glad you liked everything!

Will post mine tonight, at work til 6 (fireman)
 
I got a pair of retro styled Firefly figures and a nice handwritten note! They're from the ReAction line and remind me so much of the figures I would buy when I was younger. The Mal figure is limited edition from SDCC and has a cloth browncoat unlike the normal version. I did laugh at how they say "Adult collectible - Not a toy." :lol

Thanks a lot Santa, they will go very nicely with my Firefly collection! Merry Christmas! :cheers

To my Secret Santa,

THANK YOU


The package has been sitting here taunting me for days!!! It was great and thank you and you are correct sometimes it is just relaxing to just make for no reason. :)

It has been several years since I had any Jelly Babies and had not had a chance to try Jammie Dodgers. Hope you have had a Merry Christmas.

BB8;4376409... I would love to know more about it. [URL said:

I'm not your SS so I can't tell you anything about yourparticular print, but I own a copy of it myself! It's appropriately called "Tears in The Rain" and was created earlier this year by an artist that goes by Mewk. He runs the CtrlAltGeek Etsy Shop, where he sells prints of his work. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it!
