just get your wish list done on the other thread & PM me your address'

OK, end of October is soon To all you kind Santas please get your wish list posted on the other thread & PM me your address'. Thanks To make things easy for your Santa pretend you got given $50 and you had to spend it on ebay within a fortnight what would you buy

Dear TIG Santa

I would like an (ungraded) MOC C7 condition upwards is fine (no missing pop or bubble cracks though lol) bubble needs to be clear (yes i know its OCD). I would be happy with any figure except Klaatu and Klaatu Skiff also any cardback issue

To add in relation to the $50 Max budget many Tri Logos can be picked up easily in C7 - C8 Condition with clear bubble for $30- $40 so its should be easy to find something in budget

Just to try my luck lol a clear bubble ROTJ Leia Boussh MOC would blow me away (is the last 2010 item from my want list) but that may not be possible (unless your a savvy buyer the last which was a Palitoy 65 back went for £35ish)

Cheers Jay

We got 13 so far to sign up. We need at least one more to make it even or someone will be their own Secret Santa. Any more takers? One day left to sign up.

As Chris said 1 more person needed for the nice even number

Come on guys opening a suprise vintage SW item purchased by a collecting bro on Xmas day is the business

An odd number will actually work but the more the better.

Can everyone please send me your address' so we can get the ball rolling. Thanks

OK, the draw has been completed. Once again thank you for being Santas' this year I think you should all have a PM notifying you who your 'child' is to get a gift for ? Let me know if I've missed anyone/anything

Thanks again to all the Secret Santas

Not sure if you were going to start a thread on when the packages were sent, but SANTA HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! Hopefully it will arrive in time for Christmas.

Im half way through sorting my Secret Santa out now and i hope to have the items posted by next Friday

Jay

OK, I'd like to think every Santa has sent their parcels by now. Please let me know they are in the sleigh. If for whatever reason anyone is having problems please let me know so I can help sort it out. THANKS

I have received mine and mine has been sent.

Roll on Crimbo!

I sent mine out begining of Dec as its going overseas

Ill keep an eye for mine arriving

Jay

Mine was sent out yesterday!

Mine came in today And it is still sealed up. :sadwalk: :crying: I promised I would wait.

Mine arrived today then lousie has hidden it until Xmas Day LOL

Got my SS pressie this morning so a BIG THANKS SECRET SANTA and hope you have a great Xmas! Many happy returns.

Had to open mine sorry guys but not gonna be around tomorrow. Dont think I'll be doing SS next time as mine knew what I was getting them as had to ask and this is what I got. Thanks but no thanks and maybe trying to tell me something??

Shame the figure popped through Ham, are you upset with the present? I don't quite understand the post sorry

Doesn't matter Joe, just wont be doing it again. Thanks.

EDIT: Moved to new thread

Your post has a lot of potential to make you look like you're being ungrateful and whiny. I think you might want to re-examine what you wrote. I see a Biker Scout MOC (which sadly looks like it came through the bubble) and a real Kick-Ass Card which was hand drawn which is super - cool!

It's a shame your gift got damaged, but it reads like your mad at the sender, the concept of Secret Santa, or something else.

Were you expecting a LL Scout MOC?

Dude I'm not ungrateful never am BUT after him knowing what I got and paid for his I was a little dissapointed specially knowing that I was sent a beater which already was broken and cracked with no weapon as the broken bits and weapon were not in the package which I might add was not wrapped up, dumped into a box with some foam bits along with a card which wasn't even sealed. Hardly the same effort which I put into there's and others have put into mine. So think what you like guys I know you all think highly of the great Man himself so I leave it at that and wish you all the best and a Happy Xmas.

In part there lays your problem bud its a secret santa so the person you buy for shouldnt be involved in the decision or know what your deciding to spend on them. Its only after Xmas day that people can choose to disclose who they bought for if they so wish. Personally i would consider it a bit rude to tell my secret snata what i spent on them but thats just me.

Remember this thing had a £30 gbp budget (you dont get many MOC's for that) yes some people go a bit over board on the prezzies but thats a choice i certainly wouldnt overspend to expect the same in return. Xmas can be a tight time for all so expect some people to stick around the budget mark as well.

Looking at the pictures shows me a hand made card that someone took real time to produce and craft (the type of thing that i would appreciate more than a quick pull the trigger buy item anyway) plus a decent bikerscout MOC where the figure has unfortunately gone through the bubble? Unless your saying you think it was sent like that?

I remember one secret santa (different forum a few years back) where the gift i sent must have cost double (at least) compared to the gift i recieved i wouldnt have dreamed of complaining about that though for me ultimately its a bit of fun and the thought that counts so i am a bit saddened to see this post.

The comment about Jimmy "the great man himself" gets more stupid the more you reread it mate seriously. Honestly i would reread your posts at a later date once you have calmed down a bit to try and understand how the come off.

Regardless bro i genuinely hope you and your family have a great Xmas and i hope you dont let a MOC been broken in the post sour it.
