Ho Ho Ho!

In desperate need of holiday spirit, hoping you guys can help me with that! The Holiday season is almost upon us and to celebrate I'm hosting a Secret Santa gift exchange once again. No matter what you celebrate at this time of year you're welcome to join us in the spirit of giving! Anyone who wishes to join must let me know by posting in this thread by NOVEMBER 4TH so that I can get everyone matched and that they can get their gifts out in time.


Here are the rules:

1. Any current member of the RPF as of the posting of this thread may participate (ie: no joining now just to participate). HOWEVER, by joining you are agreeing to both give and receive a gift. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to send your gift please let me know immediately so that I can arrange a work around. People who do not send gifts have in past been banned. It's not worth it for a $20 gift! PLEASE only join if you are going to participate.

2. When you sign up you must state whether you wish to ship domestically or internationally (please include what country is "domestic" in your post). In your post you're also free to include your interests and a wish list to help your gift giver with ideas. By all means post "wishful thinking" wants but also put some realistic ideas in there too.

3. Although there is no limit to the cost of gift you are encouraged to keep your gifts at about the $20 range. Creativity will undoubtedly be appreciated by your recipient! Something handmade with $20 worth of materials can be worth more than spending $100 at a store. You are of course able to send a gift of any value if you like but understand that what you receive will likely be in this range.

4. I will keep a list of names updated in this thread - please PM me if you are interested and include your address in the PM - When I draw names I will send the Secret Santa his or her recipient's details. The person you send a gift to will not necessarily be the person that sends you a gift. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ADDRESSES please use the one that you will be at for the holidays. Better for your parcel to arrive early and be held for you than have it sit on the step for a couple weeks waiting for you to get back from your parent's place.

5. Domestic gifts must be in the mail by December 15th. International should be sooner than that. If you don't want me harassing you please post a note saying that you've shipped either in this thread or via PM to me. If you need to push this deadline back a little bit you must contact me. It is still your responsibility to get the gift to your recipient on time.

6. A gift will be considered "lost" if it doesn't arrive by the end of the first full week of January. If your package had tracking you are not responsible and a new Santa will be provided. If your package did not have tracking you will have to send another gift.

TRACKING: Tracking is not mandatory but if you DO use tracking you are not responsible should the recipient not receive their gift. If you choose not to get your gift tracked that's fine but if the gift doesn't arrive you're still on the hook for it. This way you can still mail it any way you want but you know where you stand depending on the shipping method.

7. Although this is a "Secret" Santa you are more than welcome to let your recipient know who you are if you'd like to.


Finally, not a rule but in the spirit of this exchange please give a "thank you" in this thread to your Secret Santa and let us know what you received. Not only is it the polite thing to do but it lets your Santa and myself know that everything went smoothly. It's a Christmas exchange, please be grateful. Not everyone gets a "blow you out of the water" kind of gift. Don't expect it.

Last year went smoothly for the most part. Here's hoping for another successful year!

Re: 2018 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration now open!

I'm in!

US-based but okay with int'l (could be delayed owing to November travel but will do my best).

I like James Bond, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (same author and production company as Bond), Fantastic Voyage (film), Wild Wild West (series or movie .... ya, I know), Austin Powers, 1/6 scale (non-military), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or anything Steampunk, Lost in Space (classic), sci-fi props in general ... oh, and 007 (working that in twice would be a hint).

Participating in this exchange is the highlight of my holiday season!

Re: 2018 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration now open!

I am interested in doing this again
i am in ohio

My interests is
Original series Battlestar Galactica
 
Re: 2018 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration now open!

Finally! Last year was my first go around and I've been dying to start work on this year's round.

I can commit to a domestic, US-based gift for someone out there. My interests include...

  • Star Wars (particularly K-2SO)
  • Blade Runner (Original & 2049)
  • Hellboy (Comics & Movies)
  • Firefly/Serenity
  • 20,000 Leagues, and all manner of steampunk & dieselpunk things...
  • Assassin's Creed, and all manner of spies, thieves and assassins...
  • Fallout, and all manner of post-apocalyptic things...
  • Droids, mechs, and all manner of robotic things...
  • Blasters, and all manner of arms & armor...

That should give folks plenty of theme options I hope! Hand-crafted props are particularly welcome and will be appropriately displayed, and any tools will be cared for and put to use. If you don't have a penchant for crafting, please don't feel bad if you resort to a store-brought solution. Model kits and 1:12 figures will do in a pinch, all I ask is no posters because I have no wall space left for such.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for running this again Michael!
 
Re: 2018 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration now open!

I look forward to two things each year. The annual DFW Prop Party and the RPF Secret Santa Threads.

I am IN! I am in the USA and prefer to ship domestically but I will ship international if needed.

Interests:
Star Wars - Original Trilogy
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Indiana Jones
Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts Movies
DC - Movie and TV universes

Avid Cigar Smoker

I would prefer no paper Props or artwork (although I am always interested in Vader smoking a cigar artwork).

Big thanks to Michael for organizing this event again this year.

Re: 2018 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration now open!

I'm definitely in, thank you very much for doing this again Michael :)

At the moment my main interests would be pretty much anything that I can use to decorate my newly set-up "Mini Home Theater", which consists of a 3D/1080p Projector (Optoma HD27), a 100" fixed frame 16:9 screen (Silver Ticket STR-169100), and a 5.1 Surround Sound System (Onkyo HT-S3800) :D (plus an XBOX One S).

Of course I'd be happy with just about anything, so here are some of my interests...

Movies/Franchises/TV shows/Characters
Supergirl (I'm starting to think I may like her more than Superman, but that's probably because I'm a little bit in love with her :lol)
Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League (I was a bit disappointed with JL, but I still very much enjoyed it)
Smallville
Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel
The Arrowverse
(Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (I love all the movies and the TV series)
Captain America & Thor (the MCU characters)
Jurassic Park & Jurassic World
Independence Day
(I absolutely love the first movie, and I really enjoyed the sequel)
Stranger Things (I enjoyed the 2nd season, although not as much as season 1)
Firefly & Serenity
Battlestar Galactica '04
Star Trek
(I love the 2009 film, as well as Into Darkness & Beyond, but I've never gotten into the older movies/TV series)
Scream (I like all 4 of the Scream films, but 1 & 4 are my favorites)
Star Wars (I love every SW film except The Last Jedi, which I was extremely disappointed with, but still somewhat enjoyed)
Watchmen (I've never read any of the comics, but I love the Zach Snyder film)

Stuff
Home Theater Decor
Movie collectibles/props
(especially stuff that can be put on display)
Blu-rays (I currently own almost 1,000 different movies/TV seasons on Blu-ray, and I buy more each week/month, so there's a very good chance I'll already have whatever you consider - for instance I own pretty much every Blu-ray related to any of my favorite movies/TV shows/franchises)
Posters (I have dozens of new posters that I haven't even framed/displayed yet, so I don't really need any new posters, unless they're very rare and/or unique/custom)
Collectible Statues/Figures (I'm not too big a fan of Funko POPs, even though I have a couple dozen of them, but I love the more accurate statues/figures like the Kotobukiya figures, and currently I only own 2 of those, the 1:10 Scale Justice League Superman & the 1:10 Scale Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batman - EDITED 10/24/18 = I just won the 1:10 Scale Justice League The Flash on eBay for $18 shipped, and now I'm planning to sell/trade my BvS Batman figure so I can pick up the JL version instead - then I'll just need/want Wonder Woman and possibly Cyborg).

"In my dreams" Wish List
Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet 1/4 Quarter Scale Marvel Avengers: Infinity War Collectible
Terminator 2: Judgement Day 3D Blu-ray NovaMedia Exclusive w/ Lenticular Slipbox
(South Korean import that is out of print and very hard to find)
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets 3D Blu-ray NovaMedia Exclusive (South Korean import that is almost out of print and pretty expensive)
1:10 Kotobukiya Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO & R2-D2 with BB-8 ArtFX+ Statues Set
1:10 Kotobukiya Wonder Woman ArtFX+ Statue
(Justice League version)
1:10 Kotobukiya Supergirl ArtFX+ Statue
(the TV show version)
Watchmen Amazon Exclusive Blu-ray w/ Nite Owl ship
A cool movie themed area rug that is at least 5'x7'
(preferably dark colored and no bigger than 8' wide)

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure I'll remember something I forgot soon and come back to add it to the list :)

Oh and I'd prefer to ship domestically (in the US).
