Holy sh!t, I just got my package yesterday, but I had to go work for Black Friday so I didn’t even get a chance to really look at it.
I’m going to actually wait till Christmas (or Christmas Eve) to open my gifts since last year I didn’t and I think it sorta makes it “less exciting”
The anticipation is really part of the experience.
Thank to my extremely ahead of the game secret Santa, I’m still trying to pick out gifts!!

Quoted from Jawa:I'm waiting for one more thing to come and then I'll be sending out my secret santa box.
Mine arrived yesterday and had some pretty cool stuff in it. My Secret Santa sent some candy, a neat pinball t-shirt, an Ash vs Evil Dead/Walking Dead tote bag, a 50 sci-fi movie dvd set (which my husband really appreciates since he loves old sci-fi movies both good and bad), a pair of cat toys with catnip, an awesome glow in the dark Tron figure, a Tilt amusements keychain and some pinball flyers and stickers. The stickers are particularly cool because I wound up with an Asteroids arcade game (not currently working but I plan to fix it) that had a bunch_ of random stickers on it and looks cool, so I've kind of been collecting stickers to add to for when I get it working and put it in my gameroom area at home.

I got very different reactions to the cat toys from my cats. Beaker wasn't interested.[quoted image]
Marvin on the other hand loved it and went for a full on mauling.[quoted image][quoted image]
And the little Tron figure fits right in with my other classic arcade figures. Thanks Secret Santa, you rule. [quoted image]
STICKER BOMB!!!! Those are always really cool, coat it with a polyurethane to protect it when you’re satisfied with the look

Very happy my SS got their package! Haven’t checked this thread in a while.
Only 5 more days till I get to open mine! I think it’s been worth it so far to wait till Christmas. Every time I see them under the tree they seem to remind me “oh shoot I still need to get gifts for <family member>!”
Quoted from Fezmid:I got a box from Amazon and my wife said inside it says from secret Santa... But she said it's not pinball related at all and thinks it might be from the BGG SS... So she gave away what type of gift it is... But I don't know who it is from.
Guess I'll ask my BGG SS if that any a second package or not! (They have a cool system where you can interact with your Santa and Santee but still remain secret).
UPDATE: Confirmed from BGG that the package isn't from that Santa, so it must be from here! Can't wait to see what board game my Santa got me!
I was worried about letting a good wrapping job go to waste, but last year I had the issue where my package was just filled with unwrapped gifts and spoiled it by opening.
I had a family member open the box to check if it was wrapped or not, and in case they weren’t wrapped, they could tape the box and the excitement was preserved 
It also gets the family excited for pinball which NEVER happens haha

Quoted from JayDee:You make them yourself. Get some keychain picture blanks, print your own art, and then install into the blank. Done[quoted image]
Where can I get key copies? :b I have so many freaking arcade locks and keys that don’t match up, drives me nuts. I wish there was a place that you could just find all the ones you need. Although I know that would defeat the purpose for arcade owners. One of my associates had that issue, at one of his arcades some patron got a copy and was going into the games and taking all the money.
