Quoted from pmWolf:Dumb question, but why keep the SS identity secret?
Gonna be hard to hide that one when they open up that autographed 8x10 of me...
I think you're forgetting the 100 copies you "gifted" me that one birthday. ...I've been regifting them ever since. Alright, recipients, now there are two possibilities for secret santas when you receive your sparsely clad PMWolf 8x10" glossy.
Quoted from j_m_:ok, so now I'm bored.
Shipped my SS package today.
Quoted from j_m_:where is my gift!!?!!
I've been meticulously illustrating bow ties, top hats, and undergarments on all the pron you sent me. Hope you enjoy your regift. 
Quoted from BubbaBeast:So after a great trip to the movies with my family I came home and was psyched to see my Secret Santa present had arrived! I’m an instant gratification kind of guy, so waiting for Christmas was a non-starter. I opened it ASAP and man – what an awesome gift.
Many thanks to Ryan Claytor for the original Pinside artwork! It will be framed and find a place of honor in my game room. I also love the Todd MacCulloch Arcade T-Shirt (very cool design). I enjoyed checking out Elephant Eater Comics and learning more about your art and other work Ryan. Thanks again!
Happy it was well-received, despite my Santa-ness being not-so-secretive. 
Great product photography, BTW! ...might need to hire you to shoot some more of my stuff. 
Happy Holidays, Bubba!
Hey hey, guess what showed up today...

...an unexpected package from myself!
Inside there was a present I forgot I wrapped.

In fact there were a number of presents (you'd think I'd remember packing at least one of them...but nope):

Nevertheless, I picked a fabulous gift for myself, one I'd always contemplated adding to my collection of Pinball Magazines BUT NEVER HAD!!! WOO!!! It's full of giant, well-shot, high-resolution reproductions of a great many games, even some gorgeous shots of Bingo Pinball machines (here's one of my favorite bingo titles reproduced on a huge double-page spread:

And now I have a complete set of Pinball Magazine titles:

In all seriousness, thank you to whomever plopped this in my lap. It was the perfect gift. In fact, I was so excited that I didn't even make it out of the car before I was opening the loot-box and pouring over it's contents.
Very

...
...
VERY
cool.
Merry Christmas to all, and especially my thoughtful Santa.
I know this kinda goes against the secret part of this whole gift exchange, but I was not-so-secretive about my identity in my Santa-ing and, I gotta say, it's been pretty awesome to chat privately with my giftee and get to know another pinthusiast in another part of the country. To that end, if my secretive santa feels like revealing themself, I'd love to thank you non-anonymously. If you don't fancy revealing yourself, that's okay too. I'll just go on believe that I sent myself a wonderfully curated hoilday package.
Quoted from LesManley:Ok, here is the updated shipped list as promised. So far so good though, with 6 days left to ship before the deadline we already have 44 out of the 62 secret santas that have checked in. If you have shipped your gift and don't see you name on this list, please let me know so I can update.
Please also remember to post in this thread that you received your gifts when they arrive, as the sender is usually a little curious if it made it to you and definitely keep those gift pics coming when you open them. Everyone loves seeing what people received.

Thanks for your dedication to this thread, Les, and congrats on your new Ghostbusters.
Quoted from stpcore:Secret Santa hit St Charles, IL. Thank you very much for the variety of items! Im going to have to research what some of this is. The STP concert poster is killer and very well thought out!!!
My items will be shipping out on Monday!
Haha! Wow. I HAVE to know the story behind the Super-Dinosaur comics. Artist is a good friend of mine.
Quoted from HighProtein:Due to plans tomorrow so they were opened today.
So Santa knew of neat things I'd totally need someday! I totally needed some new 904 pinball zine stickers too!
...and is that a box full of organized fuses in the background? If so, way cool!
