Quoted from fosaisu:What's the "GOLDEN SAO RACK,"
I think it's says "Golden Sac Rack". I think it is a holder for Sacagawea Dollar coins.

Quoted from action76:I think it's says "Golden Sac Rack". I think it is a holder for Sacagawea Dollar coins.
Read all about it in the TNA thread. Scott Danesi is a genius.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Eight days ago, I paid to have my package sent to the east coast in 2-3 days.
Just checked the tracking and it hasn't even left California yet!
If it was USPS, you used to be able to get a refund for that.
LTG : )
so... the origin story of the golden sac rack goes to the Chicago boys, scott danesi, terry dezwarte, dino naber, robot, yancy, kevin (I may be leaving out a few) and their constant betting of "dollar" matches. the dollar coins are a lot easier to deal with on a pinball instead of bills
I'm not sure which one 3D printed it up initially, but at the ann arbor pinball museum, whenever the boys are in town, it's "pull your sac's out" game time on jungle hunt and the genco lucky seven rolldown games 
Quoted from fosaisu:Nice! What's the "GOLDEN SAO RACK," and did it come with a bag of dollar coins or something?
Probably the best explanation is tge below post. It’s for a friendly wager with your friends.

Thank you pinside secret santa, I will be keeping the box as well
My gift to ship out just arrived today.
What are most of you doing about the return address?
If you live in a large city it probably is not a problem.
But if you are one of few pinsiders in a city, not really hard to figure out your Santa.
Guess it is really no big deal, just wondering.

You could use your work, or a family members address. Even your own, but put a secret Santa or pinball name as sender
If someone really wants to be nebby I'm sure that they can find out who their secret Santa was but I think part of the fun is the anonymity of the whole thing. To each their own but I exercise restraint and don't try to find out.
Quoted from Jgel:Could not wait so i opened mine. Got a nightlight with a bumper cap on it, some random pastic key fobs and a signed Maiden flyer.

Those promo plastics for keys are awesome! I want an Orbitor 1 plastic :b *wink wink*
Dear Secret Santa-
I got my gift today. It is awesome, and I love it. However, since I have a cold at the moment and have barely gotten out of bed today, you'll have to give me a day or two for the requested modeling pictures.

packing tonight and posting mine overseas tomorrow, my early apologies to to my giftee as going to be tight to receive before Christmas due being Down Under
Anyone order anything from ArcadeMade? I did, but the order still hasn't been shipped. I've mailed them twice, no response. ArcadeAction (https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/arcadeaction) hasn't logged in since Nov 25th... Glad this isn't the main gift I bought. 
Quoted from mario_1_up:Just did my order. Estimated delivery date 12/03-12/24.
Glad to see they left themselves a little wiggle room on the delivery date!
I received my SS gift on Saturday. I will wait until Christmas to open it, cause I'm weird like that.
Quoted from dnapac:My wife just sent me this at work! I was gonna wait to open it, but the little kid in me is having second thoughts.

LOVE the socks!!
Quoted from PghPinballRescue:I received my SS gift on Saturday. I will wait until Christmas to open it, cause I'm weird like that.
I like to wait too, nice to have a surprise on Christmas and the anticipation can be fun. Last time I got a number of separate shipments, one just before Christmas, which may have been by chance, but it built on the effect.
Nothing yet this year, so no temptation either! But it might be one of the boxes stacked in the spare room: I ordered so much crap Black Friday weekend that I haven't opened yet, might be hidden in there.
Woohoo! I was home for a few hours on Saturday with just enough time to swap out dirty clothes for clean ones and go thru some of my mail. Found my Secret Santa gift and couldn’t wait to open it!
Inside was a sweet Spock shooter rod that will be going on my Stle (along with a custom set of mirror blades I picked up from a Black Friday sale)!!
Thanks Secret Santa! This is an excellent gift that will look great on my pin!!
I also saw the item I was waiting on for my recipient finally arrived, so I’ll be able to get that package in the mail next week when I’m home again!
Quoted from HighVoltage:Oh man, people already receiving their presents. My homemade LEDs project is progressing too slowly, but I'm not giving up on DIY yet. I'm switching gears, check out this pinball mobile I got going. Winner, right!
PS: I bet nobody knows what this really is.
In case anyone was curious, that mobile was something I rigged up to dunk my parts in my Evaporust leg bath. Couldn't help laughing to myself imagining sending it to someone though...
Quoted from Pinsterwmass:I got excited and couldn’t wait. After opening the box . What’s a few more weeks!
Oh KUDOS to your SS, that's genius.

HOLY MOLY!!!!
This huge MF box arrived from Germany! The wife nagged me thinking I'd bought more pinball parts! LOL!!!
There are three things in it, two that are wrapped and one is a light stand (I guess they know I'm a streamer!) The wife won't let me open the other two until Christmas, but the card says its a GOTG something! 
Many thanks Secret Santa! Will post pics on the 25th!
Cheers,
Neil.
