Quoted from nogoodnames222:Do you (or does anyone else) know where that shirt on the right is from? Really like the looks of it.

I just wanted thank LesManley again for running this show and my SS for the tremendous pinstadium gift. (was going to try temporarily install them on my STtNG and post pictures, but the mirror blades are not magnetic and so now I'm just waiting for my MMR to arrive)
Add a set of Hover mounts...

Why do you assume they are reformed?

You guys and gals are all very welcome and I'd like to thank you all for participating, taking the time and effort to make it special and for being so generous. My wife makes fun of me in good nature, but I really do look forward to doing this each year now. I loved this time of year as a child and I still did love it before I started doing this, but the Secret Santa program has brought back a little magic to the holiday that was lost on me as I got older.
Still waiting for my secret Santa to post their gift...hopefully they didn’t hate them that much 
. I thought they were neat.

Since I just saw this, I wanted to make a quick comment. I know people are very anxious to see their gifts posted and the reactions of their recipient. I am the same way...one of my people still hasn't posted their gift pic yet. It is a super busy time of the year. People are traveling and with family. Lots of people that participated don't log onto Pinside daily, or even every few days like a lot of us crazy people do. With that in mind, please try to be patient. Don't take it personally if your person hasn't posted pics yet. I doubt it's because they hate your gifts. Some people haven't even opened their gifts yet, they are still waiting. It's more likely a time situation. Let's give everyone some time through the new year to get back in a normal schedule and I bet the post you have been waiting for will come. Thanks!
if my secret santa is reading, i did receive my gift, but forgot the pictures.
thank you for the venison, hoodie and titletown swag!
Quoted from Gexchange:Opened mine last night! Super excited to hang them up! These are really cool!
Thank

Sorry about the late posting but we took and opened our package at my Mom's house for Christmas and just made it back home. Our secret Santas were unbelievable!!! It had 11 individually wrapped and numbered gifts and a detailed booklet that had a page for every gift with explanations.
Gift 1 was microfiber cloths. 2 - magnetic wand. 3 - magnetic parts tray. 4 - multi size hand socket wrench. 5 - super cool and bright magnetic work light. 6 - free light 7 - Very cool pinball photo coasters. 8 - Awesome flipper earrings for the Mrs. 9 - Pinball pillow cases. 10 - NIB Pinball!!! 11 - An amazing custom designed poster for my game room along with several flyer sized versions and a flash drive with the design so I can print more!!!
This was such a great SS package. The wife and I had a blast opening and reading all the clever notes about each gift. Thank you so much Secret Santas, you guys are AWESOME! Thank you also to LesManley for organizing and directing all of this fun.

Hope your feeling better now Santa.
Eagerly awaiting my package arrival
My Secret Santa turned out to be some of my awesome pinball friends, and they really, REALLY went above and beyond. Gifts ranged the spectrum from thoughtful and caring such as a donation in my name to Project Pinball, to downright silly...yes...thats my face on the front of the Captain Meunier shirt. Total list below!
-Two peanut butter candy treats (pb is totes my faves!)
-An E-shaped magnet from Hersey Pennsylvania with my name on it
-Two xmas tree ornaments
-A Mrs Pin woman's top. When I tried it on, I felt it showed a bit to much of my devilishly handsome body, so Mrs Meunier gets this one 
-A set of Pop Bumper Cap earings
-An original engineering drawing from WMS of the "Bad Guy" (Cactus Canyon sculpture)
-An Ugly sweater with a cool band on it
-Matching, personalized POTC shirts for me and my crew of scurvey sea dogs!
-A donation to Project Pinball, an organization very close to my heart (something that I asked for from Santa)
- A wonderful personalized Xmas card
Thank you Santa Mrs and Dr Pin! You guys are my favorite pinball family!

It's in a cylinder that says "GOT Translite", but SS probably just throwing me off. I'll open in couple days...
It was a special Iron Maiden print from ComicCon 2018, a trough lighting kit, and some frosted bulbs - thanks, can't have enough of those!
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I've started growing groot![quoted image]
Is that the chia pet??
Love the follow up posts for people using and/or displaying their SS gifts!
First up, wanted to say a big thank you to the pinsider who sent my family this gift box, that was very thoughtful. It's nice to have something a little healthier in the house besides cookies and candy this time of year. We will make quick use of this. Thanks again!

Second, I got my SS gift orange apron installed on my Iron Maiden Pro. I love it. I just need to get some good custom cards for it now. I also took the opportunity to install the LE art blades I bought in the game too. The overall package looks great. I'm putting in the Premium translite to add to the yellow/orange desert look as well. Such a fun game, I just shopped it out so it's fast as hell. The orbit lock is so fast that the game can barely catch the ball with the post and stop it.

Quoted from Dee-Bow:I see my package arrived before Christmas to my recipiant but they have yet to post any picks.. hope it all worked out and they enjoy it
Same
My Secret Santa sent me a second gift! Must've stalked me in the props forum, and sent me a QMX replica of a multipass from the movie Fifth Element. I LOVE that movie - have a replica blaster from it - and even have the same multipass. But fear not! Now I can display the back of the pass using the second one, so that's an awesome win! Very thoughtful gift, thank you SS, I love it! Will try to post a picture of my setup when I put it up!
Kinda lame that people are not even posting that they got the gift.
I will say thanks to you guys even if your person is not.
This is such a fun thing every year and any gift given makes it even better.
Quoted from Whysnow:Kinda lame that people are not even posting that they got the gift.
I'll post mine as soon as I get it. I hope my secret santa hasn't forsaken me. Anyone else still waiting?
Quoted from pinballplusMN:Im sure this is a lot of work John. Thanks for doing this.
You're welcome John! I can't fix em like you can, so this is another fun way for me to be involved with pinball.
Quoted from docquest:I'll post mine as soon as I get it. I hope my secret santa hasn't forsaken me. Anyone else still waiting?
Yours is on the way, it was confirmed this morning, so I would say end of the week at the latest?
One thing I've learned from seeing all the pictures and reading all the comments over the past three years... I'm the only person who doesn't have a magnetic bowl! Lol. I need to get down to Harbor Freight and get one. I do have one of the "free magnetic lights" and love that!
I've been swamped with work but finally got my gift installed. A really nice mod that Mr_Tantrum makes for Comet the roller coaster.
Connected it to the play again light, if that doesn't get enough play I'll try a different light to connect to.
Love it thanks!

No, you're not, and one of us got a HF gift card from Santa!
After some back and forth with Canada Post on my end and my SS's end, a box arrived today!! I am just blown away and I want to sincerely thank my Secret Santa from the bottom of my heart.
You really went beyond on your gift, and you made a huge laugh and smile come from me. My wife actually cried. I'm not sure if it was because of the extremely personal sign and Latin american coffee she loves... or if she thinks I have an online girl friend .. My kids also loved the bubble wrap, which there was lots... Thanks for that... :/
Seriously, wow...

Quite a wide range of stuff including:
Gene Simmons Kiss demon action figure - I dont have a Kiss machine so I'm not sure why that was chosen. Its definitely cool looking though. If anyone asks why I have that on display in my gameroom I'll say he's my demonic christmas elf on the shelf.
Whoa Nellie T-Shirt - This is great because I love Greg's art. I never got a shirt since I wasn't sure if I'd get the old side eye glance from the wife. Now I can wear it and tell her it was gift so I have to wear it to be respectful of my pinside secret santa.
Vibrating Pinball Machine - This is a neat little blast from the past old school LCD pinball game. I used to have a ton of different LCD handheld games back in the day. I love how it vibrate obnoxiously when it hits the virtual pop bumpers. Not sure exactly when this was made but it seems to ooze 80's over the top excess. After I get bored with it I can pass it to the wife, she'll like it since it vibrates.
Plastic Leg protectors - Nice, can never have to much cabinet protection. Since they are black they will look nice on most any of my games.
Unlabeled Circuit board - Not sure what this is as my package didnt have any letter or card to explain it. Any ideas what this is?
And finally my favorite item is the Roger Sharp pinball book. I've heard great things about it but never got around to getting a copy. Cant wait to go through it.
Thanks Pinside Secret Santa!

I'm guessing it's a 60 in 1 arcade board.... Looks like a jamma harness input on the left side to me

Yup I think you are right. I googled that and it looks almost identical to that.
