Thanks for the suggestion, that's what I'll do.

Be on the lookout for clues

Gypsy · 11/10/2016, 09:33 PM

I'm just going to tell the user after they get it, since I had it ship straight from the Japanese seller to them.

or ask NecroPhile to ask the giftee if he got it. That way your secret identity is safe.

Gredler · 11/17/2016, 11:14 AM

The package from Japan arrived to my house but I was not home to sign for it, so now it's chillin at the local post office.

I will have it in hand by Saturday at the latest. Which is exciting because I get to wrap the presents and add some extras without being rushed and pressured.

Should I put it in the mail on Monday, or wait until closer to Christmas?

Can't believe how quickly it got here, I am going to have to leave good feedback. I panicked about hit-japan and eBay, but considering how much I got I think I got a good deal, and it arrived pretty fast considering I did the cheapest shipping option.

Hohoho, Merry Christmas

780racer · 11/17/2016, 01:56 PM

All of my things are here as well for my SS. I am super excited to send it off, and hopefully make his holidays awesome-r than they would be without my gifts of many things.

johnnykonami · 11/17/2016, 07:08 PM

My first new paycheck should be rolling in tomorrow. I see it online on our payroll site, but I only did 1 week's worth of work before it was time to run it, so I might have to wait longer. Hopefully I won't. If it does, I will do some Secret Santa shopping this weekend. Hope to find some awesome stuff for my SS!

Gredler · 11/19/2016, 12:52 AM

The stuff to send for ss came in today, and it made me wonder what would happen if I just held onto this stuff and dipped out from SS? Hahah but honestly the person I was assigned to has an awesome list and these things are so unique and much cooler than anything I've picked up (or put on my list), it's so cool to look over and admire before sending off.

Thanks NecroPhile for putting this together, such a fun and educational experience. Pcefx is the best

Medic_wheat · 11/19/2016, 01:13 PM

I am waiting on one last item. Once it comes in I can spend the following weekend putting th box together. I can then send it off and another box off for a raffle I held.

Figured I could just send both boxes off at the same time.

Dicer · 11/19/2016, 02:42 PM

I gotta toss some stuff together myself, these last few checks were short due to lack of hours, but I have some great stuff here that I can pack in anyway

bartre · 11/19/2016, 05:53 PM

I have yet to get a shipping notification on the stuff I grabbed for my secret santa...
it's been a week.

xcrement5x · 11/21/2016, 02:03 PM

I just got a bundle from a fellow forum member with some stuff for my Santa (and some for me!) so hopefully I can get them out soon.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/21/2016, 02:17 PM

FUCK BITCHES MAKE MONEY.

I'm out.

you're fuckin jealous.

It's more that I always forget and get sidetracked, so I'm just preempting it this year.

Wrapped and packed. When should I send?

oh boy, can't wait to see what I'm getting, could it be? nah.

Gredler · 11/22/2016, 11:07 AM

I'll wait for the commissioner's suggestion, he said in the above post to bot send too early. I will wait until closer to Dec 10th to send, unless NecroPhile says I can send sooner

NecroPhile · 11/22/2016, 11:52 AM

I guess it doesn't hurt to send early, but it's not really necessary. If you keep it, you can "test" it for a couple weeks; if you send it now, your recipient has to suffer the temptation of opening it early.

Mi heard last year someone opened early. NOW Krampus is gunning for their butt.

I'll pop in chat and send you a pic of it, not going to post it here, but I have it wrapped and packed and ready to go! I'll sit on it until after thanksgiving and ship it out after - I don't want to ruin the spirit but jumping the gun too quick - I am all to familiar with that. wah wah.

I'm a bad egg and will open my package the day it arrives.

Well then your SS will make sure to NOT send it early. haha

NecroPhile · 11/30/2016, 04:20 PM

Reminder Bump!

It looks like this year's most requested title is Super Star Soldier with four requests. The next most requested titles (three requests each) are Ai Cho Aniki, Aoi Blue Blink, Cho Aniki, Cosmic Fantasy 4.1, Cosmic Fantasy 4.2, Gamola Speed, L-Dis, Ninja Spirit, Schubibinman 3, Snatcher, and Son Son II.

geise · 11/30/2016, 06:26 PM

Super Star Soldier should not be a secret santa game anymore since it is well over budget and I'm talking on pc-engine. L-Dis is still a good deal along with Shubibinman 3.

Wait. When are we suppose to send the SS gifts?

BecUse I have mine packed up.

Sooner the better with holiday shipping going on now.

johnnykonami · 11/30/2016, 10:11 PM

Rest of my gift should be here soon. Looking forward to seeing the loot Santa brings everybody!

There's several completed ebay auctions for under $40, so SSS is definitely doable, especially for peeps that are okay with huey only or if Santa shops on yahoo auction, surugaya, etc.

JoshTurboTrollX · 12/01/2016, 02:48 PM

All set and wrapped, waiting to ship in a week for some "sensitive" materials for my recipient. ;)

I had it sent quite awhile ago (person hopefully received by now) but I feel bad about it now because I should have had the games ship to myself first so I could wrap them in festive wrappings like I did with the other secret santas I signed up for.

Gypsy is officially The Grinch.

Gredler · 12/01/2016, 04:56 PM

The reindeer are in flight, santa's package on it's way - enjoy!

bartre · 12/02/2016, 08:18 PM

Well I'm gonna be cutting it close on the shipping, but I've got my Santa's stuff together (or ordered)!

Would have been out last week, but the ebay guy decided not to ship the game and try to take my money.

johnnykonami · 12/02/2016, 10:53 PM

My gift for my SS has arrived in my zipcode according to the tracking info, should be here tomorrow. I'll have to grab some wrapping paper and get ready to send it out!

esteban · 12/03/2016, 05:49 AM

It's too early to mail stuff! Plus, I have to make some things. Holy shyte, time is running low!

TRUVIA: Every dingle time someone says "SS" I think "Star Soldier" ...

Around the holidays too, I guess he was desperate for cash. How shitty.

Medic_wheat · 12/03/2016, 03:50 PM

I have everything. Packed up. Said that a few days ago. Just haven't gone to mail it.

Plus I am residing on what extras to add that were not on the list. What fun is it to just give stuff on the list kny? I say throw a little of your personal flavor and see if the other person likes it. Worst case it gets re-gifted. Lol.

Budget has always been around $35 i thought and I always like to do more than just 1 game. I usually go over but not by much. That also doesn't include shipping. I just like to hope I keep it fair but get people what they want.

blueraven · 12/03/2016, 09:38 PM

Santa Stuffs arrived a little over a week ago... Been too busy to get it out the door. Should be Monday before the elves will be back in the office.

780racer · 12/05/2016, 01:35 PM

I sent mine out today to the lucky person. I hopes they likes it!

I went over budget by about 10 bucks I think, but meh. No huge deal, and I didn't wanna just send 1 thing.

Super excited to get my stuff as well!

Gredler · 12/05/2016, 01:40 PM

I checked the tracking today and the package I sent should arrive today, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!

This reminds me. Whoever is sending to me, it will say it's available at my PO box a day before it is. So fear not that I didn't receive that day, I will get it.

IT WAS YOU! If it was you, I got it the same day I got a bunch of parts I had ordered in. It was a nice surprise because I was like WTF!? When did I order this?... then I realized it must have been jolly old secretive St. Nick. It immediately became an unsealed game and a VGA grader perished because I did this. The screams of enemy soldiers will fill my holiday.

Gypsy · 12/05/2016, 06:02 PM

No, it wasn't me. I drew someone else.

bartre · 12/06/2016, 06:35 PM

I sure hope my Giftee likes shitty N64 games.
