VGCollect 2025 Secret Santa!

[dhaabi]

Mine is safely packed away waiting for just a few more days! Cartagia did you end up getting yours yet?

I've been waiting for tracking information first to provide an update. A tracking number was forwarded to me on 12/5 but was only received by the carrier the following day. And late last night, the estimated day of delivery was finally stated: Monday, December 15. Unfortunately, the gift parcel will not be delivered by the posted deadline.

November 09 Update
Please plan ahead to have all shipped items reach their final destination by December 12.

Silver lining: at least it's before Christmas Eve and Day?

[dhaabi]

On that note—I may be able to attend a gift-opening meetup then, but I won't know until later on.

Should a group unboxing still be planned for this week, I'll definitely be unable to attend. I'll now have unexpected company visiting from Wednesday through the weekend.

Kashell and I will still be hanging out over Zoom to open our gifts and we'll record it and post to YouTube for anyone that's interested! If there are any last-minute attendees who would like to hang out just DM me and I'll send you the Zoom info

Reminder opening will be this Wednesday at 8 Eastern!

I'm still down, regardless if my package is here or not.

Sorry for the absence here...
Are you meeting today at EST 8h00 AM? (That would mean JST 22h00 for me, am I right?)

Can't promisse, but there's a slight chance I may be able to join...

[kashell]

We're looking at 8:00 PM Eastern/7:00 PM Central.

[dhaabi]

To clarify further to avoid any confusion, the planned meeting is at December 10, 20:00 EST, or December 11, 10:00 JST.

[telly]

Yes Dhaabi/Kashell are correct, I'll just send you the zoom info and you can join if you'd like!

Here's the link to our hangout this evening!

Sorry...
I really wish I had the chance to join you guys today.
I hope I can join the hangout next year.

I'll open my gift when I get back home today and post some pictures here.

It was great hanging out last night! For those that don't watch, dhaabi was my gifter and he was extra awesome. I was given 13 Sentinels on Switch, the entire .hack//SIGN series on DVD, and probably my favorite gift of all is the gorgeous soundtrack to Final Fantasy VIII from DigiCube.

Very thankful, and very happy that I was able to get back into participating this year.

My package arrived yesterday.  It had a couple of extra pins and some perler art as well as several title from my wish list (newest Assassin's Creed, Nier Automata, and a DBZ game I wanted) and Metal Arms for the PS2 (a game I aware has a positive reputation, but no much else about it, so I'm excited to try it out!).

Thanks, Santa!
