    Quoted from j_m_:

    I still can't get over the fact that someone copied my gift idea and now two pinsiders will end up with a spider-man pin!

    Thanks to you, at least two are getting Lexuses too.

    LTG : )

    #152 6 years ago

    Are multiple Lexus called lexi?

    #153 6 years ago

    Nah.. Lexuses.

    Ex: "the new Lexuses were hidden behind SS Billiards."

    Hope that helps!

    Always open the card first, it is good manners

    Along with the card a sweet Corvette flyer. A true collector must be my SSanta as they even put it in a plastic sleeve.

    Nest go for a smaller box (they always have the good stuff )

    Luckily, the age limit is not based on mental but chronological so I can open it...
    A nice tie in to my obvious love of the simpsons. I probably was supposed to keep the box unopened but no way! A sweet figurine that will now adorn my desk at work!

    They obviously did their research. Something for a sweet game in the collection and even something for the pups (yup look at all that dog hair on the carpet )

    At the best for last. A sweet blueprint type tshirt with a pinball machine (BRUN), both pinball and the nerd OCD in me love this.
    Plus some light up flipper buttons (the only tough part will be deciding what game to install them on!)

    I sent my package yesterday! I think the recipient will be very happy

    #169 6 years ago

    I sent my package today! Merry Christmas

    #170 6 years ago

    The final pieces of the gift I am giving are out for delivery to me, so I should be able to drop it in the mail tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

    #171 6 years ago

    UPS dropped a big box at my door last night. I got so excited that it may be my SS gift. I brought it in the house and was about to open it, then I saw it was actually my neighbors. UPS dropped at the wrong house.

    Mis-delivered packages are the ultimate secret santa gift!

    #174 6 years ago

    I don't know, but it was heavy.

    #175 6 years ago

    Box just sent. Tracking info sent to John.

    Thanking John for doing this. And making everyone's holiday better !

    I got a 30lb box from UPS earlier this week myself and I don't remember ordering anything. I thought, wow... my SS went all out!! Turns out the wife ordered dog food from Amazon. Crazy cheap prices (same as Walmart) and delivered right to your door.

    #177 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinzap:

    delivered right to your door.

    And your dog will turn it into a 30lb gift for you.

    My SS gift arrived today. I decided I would wait till....I could grab a knife to open it. To my surprise I received two DMD glare eliminators from Comet pinball, a can of Jolt cola, a bottle of Virgil’s Black Cherry Cream Soda (yum) and a brand new Coffee Cup....Robocup! Too cool....thanks for livening up my Christmas SS!

    My gift came today! Wow, great job to whomever my santa was!!!

    I got this awesome Who Dunnit neon clock. Who Dunnit is one of the games that is pretty high up on my wish list!

    clock (resized).jpgclock (resized).jpg

    I also got a cool set of coasters like pmWolf did, which is awesome because I was kinda jealous of his! Mine had different games though, which came out fantastic! F-14 is seriously one of my favorite games, and not only was there an F-14 coaster, but the base of the holder is the F-14 playfield. Also a Who-Dunnit coaster.

    Woah, I didn't know Virgil's makes a Black Cherry Cream Soda! They make the best root beer, by far, so I'll have to look for the black cherry! Your Secret Santa gave me a gift too!

    my secret santa gift arrived yesterday just as I was leaving for pinball league night so the pre-xmas unboxing had to wait until this morning

    now why would I send myself something? unless it was from future me that went back into the past and landed in virginia by mistakenow why would I send myself something? unless it was from future me that went back into the past and landed in virginia by mistake

    apparently, santa has access to a buttload of tape and spared no expensive to ensure that this parcel was securely wrapped and no carrier foolish enough could attempt to "steal" its contents without me knowing. (note to self: purchase stock options for the 3M company adhesives division)

    2 hours later... with the use of a hacksaw blade, an x-acto blade and a laser I finally have the outer wrapping off
    f*ck! a box with more of this [human proof] tape!f*ck! a box with more of this [human proof] tape!

    Today I got my not-so-secret Santa gift! The personalized t-shirt is awesome and I love the phrases - quite the conversation piece!

    I also got some chrome decals for my T2 bumpers. I'm torn on that one because I'm afraid it's going to make me want to do the full chrome upgrade because I've loved seeing what others have done, but for now, I'll resist and just do the bumpers.

    Thanks Brian, my not-so-secret Santa!
