Secret Santa VGCollect 2013 reveal thread

[soera]

All right, 1 day till Christmas so I figure its time to set up the reveal thread. This is where everyone can 1)post pics of what they got 2) thank whoever their Santa was and 3)mention if they want to tell their person who they bought for.

I will start : Kenny was my buyer (Disgaeniac) and he hooked me up pretty nice! He got me the last game I was missing for my PS1 collection as well as some super cool swag items to display in my room.



Thanks buddy! You made me pretty happy with my package.

[disgaeniac]

No problem, Brad (aka: Soera) - I know that finding a cib of that Rhapsody game w/ the OST for a decent price had been driving you nuts for awhile now!

In a twist of irony...Brad was my Santa as well 

However, since I'm such a tech-NO-phile - my previous listing of my gifts will have to stand 

Needless to say, I was well pleased w/ all of my gifts & swag, too buddy!

Scott was my buyer for VGCollect Secret Santa this year.  He got me my favorite Baseball game that was tossed out with my old Nintendo, Ghostbusters, and @!#?@! Q*Bert 3!  Thanks again Scott!

Go-go-copy-and-paste magic!

When I said I would be fine with Steam credit, I didn't think I'd be taken seriously...



I just picked it up this morning. I've been curious about Looper... but uh, I don't have a Bluray player! XD Oh well, I guess this is my excuse to get a cheap player soon. But honestly this was miles ahead of what I was expecting so thank you, whoever it was that got this for me. I don't recognize your name...

Copy paste for me too. I think I know who my Santa was, but I'm not exactly sure.

-
I'm extremely weak willed when it comes to curiosity. The box was under the tree and tempting me... finally I gave in. Totally awesome stuff was in there and had me grinning super wide. Thanks Santa, you're bad ass!

Well, I already did this in the regular Secret Santa thread. So here it is again:



Got mine today, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised!

I got the game I actually least expected to get off my list, and thanks to my Secret Santa I know have Megadeth's greatest album in my music collection once again! (And it was a brand-spanking-new remastered copy!) I'm listening to it right now as I type this.

Xenogears was also complete, and not even a Greatest Hits version!

Thank you Secret Santa!

BTW, my Secret Santa was PacPix.

No Idea who mine was but seriously thank you.

I have no idea who my SS was but they nailed it!

[desocietas]

I've been out of town, so I hadn't had a chance to sit down to write out my SS gift opening!

So jcalder8 spilled the beans that he was my SS    but he was nice enough to wrap the gifts!



Here they are under my tiny tree (but at least it's real <3 ):



First one... WHOA !  Great condition



Package 2... DOUBLE WHOA!  A beautiful brand new Kid Icarus!



Since these are coming from Canada, I'd never seen the game art from the great North before...  Thanks so much, jcalder8!  These were beyond anything I expected, especially from another country!  I'm looking forward to trying both!

Apparently my Secret Santa must not have liked his gift.  :'(

No report of any sort.

I very much enjoyed my gift this year, so many thanks to my secret santa, it was a wonderful mix of snes, genesis, and atari games as well as a classic gaming magazine.

There would be an array of pictures, but I unexpectedly had to move over the past 2 days, and now everything is in a box somewhere, but rest assured it was a great gift, and well appreciated.

thank you, and I hope we do this again next year.

[disgaeniac]

No report of any sort.  :'(

I'm always inclined to like a rhymin' line by a friend o' mine; I approve 

Also...sometimes...remember that No News Is (Can Be) Good News

You're not alone, I didn't get any news yet either  I suspect he's quite busy though.

To my SS: I have not received my gift yet.
My government has decided to put a bigger control on packages coming from foreign countries and I have not yet received packages I have ordered two months ago, so this make take a while.

I promise you I will put pictures as soon as I have them!

I am very happy that my giftee liked his gift!

Cheers!!!!

Man, what a load of crap. I cant believe how long it takes for customs agents to get things through. Sorry its taking so long man. I really was hoping that this would be 100% completed by Christmas morning.

Its not just your country though. Ive ordered a few things from Japan for my DQ collection and half the time it takes 5-6 weeks to come in. Im still waiting on a game from Europe I ordered a month ago myself.
