Stern, 2021Quoted from hanford29:My Elves were slow to produce. My person will get his Monday at the latest. Shame on me and my elves.
Cool, yet another reveal ccoming then! It's been fun! Myself and my girlfriend are always looking for new posts!
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Anyone still left? If so, obviously your SS will go on the naughty list next year..!
i'm still waiting, patiently... but no problem... as long as I get it before secret santa 2022 season's opening 
Quoted from Pinballlew:Those Tokens are so cool! Ok whoever that SS is, can you please DM me where I could find these tokens, I love collecting them and I have several tokens that I put them on my Pinballs playfield glass as if people are waiting to play. Thanks!
They were given as a gift last year too, I believe someone had the mold made for Lionman tokens, and to my understanding there’s a minimum you have to order, like 2 thousand or something. So they’ve been spreading the gift of LIONMAN! They giftee last year brought them to Allentown and letting people take a token or two. It was awesome! I’ve now got one in my token collection. He’s on Pinside, I’ll try to find it and PM you
To my Secret Santa receiver (my gift to you) - I hope you received the gifts (2) sent separately, I sent them direct from the person I brought from. I verified you supposedly had them delivered....
Hope you like the stuff...

Oh awesome thx for the info, hopefully I can get 1 or 2 of them, they are sweet!
Ho Ho HOLY CRAP! Pinside Santa came through guns-a-blazin this year!
First off, sorry for making you anxious, Santa! I have been out of town since before xmas. Was finally able to get home and open the awesome package that your little elves delivered for me to JJP HQ in Chicagoland.

Digging into the box (with a present from my brother KingPinGames from a few years back), and what do I find?
photo_2021-12-30_08-51-11 (resized).jpg
A box STUFFED FULL OF PRESENTS!!! All individually wrapped, with a couple awesome wrapping paper styles. Solid A on wrapping as well. I do all the present wrapping in my house.

Santa wrote a nice card, and shed some light onto what I would find inside! COMMENCE THE UNLOADING!!!

If I had to guess, I'm thinking Santa spends every minute away from the North Pole somewhere in Virginia? 
Above we got some local chips (6 varieties!), local peanuts and apple butter, bbq sauce and spices WITH MATCHING SHIRT! WOOTY WOOTY WOOT WOOT. Pictured with the shirt is an awesome (seriously awesome!!!!) xmas tree ornament and sticker pack.
photo_2021-12-30_09-23-48 (resized).jpg- Fun Fact, one of the stickers is now on the back of my work laptop.
photo_2021-12-30_08-50-48 (resized).jpg Next gift is a cool up-cycled pop bumper night light, which looks awesome in the bedroom of my little dude. He's 4, and legit is a good pinball player. Watch out Sharps. The Meuniers are coming for you in a few years...
photo_2021-12-30_08-51-16 (resized).jpgNext gift has an out-of-this-world cool factor. Pinball themed super hero comic books? BE STILL MY HEART! The artwork in this thing is wicked cool. And, it's signed by the artist/writer! WHOA!
photo_2021-12-30_08-50-46 (resized).jpg Here we have another cool up-cycled pinball part. An original Jokerz plastic turned into a wall clock? So dang sweet! Thank you, Santa!
photo_2021-12-30_09-00-49 (resized).jpg Pictured here, in use, is the Pinshield cover that Santa sent me. Looks pretty good keeping dust off of CE001 GNR....

Very fun piece. I sent a picture of it to a couple of my pals who made pins last year with these themes....they both got a kick out of it.
photo_2021-12-30_08-50-42 (resized).jpg Quite the haul! Santa, if we're ever at a pinball show together, please unmask your secret identity to me. I'll fill your bowl-full-of-jelly-belly with some tasty adult beverages. Cheers!
Quoted from Hogbog:Above we got some local chips (6 varieties!)
I'm not your Santa, but Route 11 Chips is about 45 minutes north of me. We often make it a point to stop by their factory when we travel that way because the chips are AMAZING and you can get giant bags of them fresh off the line.

Great reveal!! And what a good job SS! Godzilla playing Ultraman, priceless! 
The day started off rotten. I'm not feeling well and was just texting people to cancel my NYE plans when a package arrived at the door. Gift #3. This custom made metal sign for my arcade is perfect. My SS did some digging into my posts and this gift took a lot of effort, planning and thought which makes it that much more special. I appreciate you SS and may you have a very happy new year!
20211231_104320 (resized).jpgQuoted from Axaios:Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Forget about crappy 2021, let's hope the next one will be better!
My package arrived when I was heading out of town for Christmas, so I delayed the opening until I got back. Here it is...
I played the guessing game: figured the large one was pinball artwork (only half right) and second one had to be a T-Shirt. That's 1 and 1/2 out of 5. Disappointed I didn't guess those always practical bulbs - and the good ones, double 2835s.
Wish I knew where that picture is, but must be from SS's locale: Alaska. Seems to be a river, there's a raft in the distance. But it equally looks like and could be here in WA state.
I'm ringing in the New Year with one of those chocolate almond bars, ha. Happy New Year all! Thank you SS!
So Les just informed me that the gifts that my secret Santa send for me are being held up in customs.
Hopefully they will be released without problems but with customs you never know.
Hang on there my SS, I am sure that is worth waiting.

I'm not up to date with flags. What country are you from?
Quoted from dirkdiggler:I'm not up to date with flags. What country are you from?
It’s Greece
There's been no word from my recipient, except early on to say he received my gift. I sure hope he is ok and not stuck in a hotel somewhere unable to come back from vacation. It took a long time to figure it out and make it. I’d like folks to see it.

Quoted from Axaios:Yes, Greece.
Will check back.. let us know when Marathon FedEx has delivered

My recipient never posted they received their gift either, which I know they did. Such a bummer. Happy new year everyone!

Santa is making a naughty list of pinsiders that didn't follow through.
After some research my gifts were in the local post office for some days but it seems that no one there bother to update the trucking path. I guess that it's logical with what is going on during Christmas and with covid and all.
Anyway, I drove there today and pick them up my self.
Both of my ss packages are finally here and they are Epic!!!
My ss not only took into consideration parts that I really needed for my Star Gazer repair project but also took the time to see what I like as a person.
Waterworld means a lot for me not just because I am a fun of the movie but also because it was my first pin and one of my most favourites.
... and this poster is really awesome!!!!!
Dear SS,
Thank you so much.
Happy new year to you and your family.
I wish you good health and success to what ever you do.

A call from my better half indicates a suspiciously Secret Santa looking package appeared today!
Presuming that the Monday disasters allow me to get home at a reasonable time, I’ll be posting the ‘goodie shots’ later this evening.
Happy New Year!
Quoted from Mitoska:Santa is making a naughty list of pinsiders that didn't follow through.
I count 12 Pinsiders who have not posted having received a gift and five Pinsiders who have received a gift, but not posted opening it.
Some folks may be waiting until the 6th to open.

Unfortunately I know of one person who hasn't received their gift yet and their Secret Santa has been seemingly ignoring my messages via PM and e-mail as I can see he logs in everyday. I sent him another message today just asking for tracking and/or any update on his gift, but no response to any of them yet. I'll give him a couple of days and then I'll make it public if it has to come to that, but I am still hoping that there is just a misunderstanding and that he is ok. I would really hate for this to be the first Grinch blemish in 5 years. I know things are different for everyone and I know stuff happens, that's why I just ask that people contact me if there an issue so we can get it worked out.

That's too bad. Hopefully this person wasn't in it just to receive. If so, may they get coal next year. If they don't follow through I will secretly volunteer to take on their recipient.

Uhhhhh, it's less secret now
Finally made it home, and indeed there awaited a package! Guess the best part about it arriving after Christmas, is there is no excuse to wait!
A thoughtful little note on the side of the box in regards to the slight delay. Given the current state of the world, can’t really fault anyone for unexpected delays in getting things in…
87C6F1FE-D3FD-44C8-8BEA-E2713FDDBE5E (resized).jpeg
And then we dive in! Some thing a bit “Atari” looking atop other items? Or is it?
1595AE49-54C5-4077-9AAF-728A6BA99155 (resized).jpeg
First clue that my Secret Santa did his research, or read the crib notes…. Or both!
I am all about all things TRON! And I do love a T-shirt! And nice nod to the history as well.
5066F231-5D31-479D-8832-AE3A36199265 (resized).jpeg
And equally a sucker for things E.M., pinball, and related things with a bowling theme!
Hitting all three (call that a ‘turkey’ perhaps?), an original flyer for a Gottlieb “King Pin” game!
67A37E4B-8E5A-4EAE-9D52-095544139801 (resized).jpeg
And then a very nice (and rather vintage looking) miniature bowling pin and ball keychain.
Suspect that the keys for our shuffle bowler will end up on here!
06C12F13-34F7-4F38-8BBF-67FA9D2ACCB4 (resized).jpeg
And being one of those who frequently is stuck searching for the proper socket for the fastener of the moment that needs loosening, tightening, removing, or??? A universal socket! (Always wondered about these things)
As I am working on a couple of games at the moment, it will get put to work straight away!
D659F794-B664-45EA-BADD-76FEA54DB678 (resized).jpeg
And then the most unexpected item in the set…
On the verge of being ridiculously well packed…. (Respect tho, with all of the horror stories of shipping damage one hears)
It took me a solid 15-20 minutes to carefully remove all of the foam, and then as it is rather cool and dry around here at the moment and it took another 15-20 minutes for the static to dissipate so I did not get knocked on my can by the next doorknob I touched….
86A42C39-757A-4BED-B057-C8444377BB68 (resized).jpeg
A beautiful neon (yes, proper, actual, neon!) Pinball sign!!!
01E595C6-B436-4CB7-B6ED-32F2806568FB (resized).jpeg
This will hold a place of honor in the game room!
Have wanted to add a neon sign or two around here for ages, but there was always something demanding of the “spare” money from the toy fund to fix or acquire or …
Many, many thanks to my Secret Santa for the amazing and thoughtful gifts!
And of course to LesManley for coordinating the event yet again!
Looking forward to next year as always…
Cheers;

This has been a great little toy. Don’t know whether it would stand up to everyday use for someone's work, but it has been great for me as a hobbyist at under $300.

It certainly looks it!
Quoted from pinballjj:it looks great ! you can order a custom real neon sign from internet but it would be amazing if someone made this at home
By chance i just stumbled across this exact sign on facebook pinball marketplace
The seller wouldn't happpen to be from Cayuga,NY would he?!

the one on facebook is being sold by someone by the name of schnoozer serzer or something
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Any word?
No unfortunately. I don't know what the problem is, but it appears we have our first ever Grinch in 5 years of Pinside Secret Santa...Pinsider Penguindeity .
I've sent e-mails to him directly and multiple PMs on Pinside and no response at all. I'm about as laid back as they come and I only asked for communication if there is a problem so we can get it worked out, but it's been nothing but radio silence from his end. I initially thought that I hope he is ok and wasn't in the hospital or an accident or something, but he logs on everyday to Pinside so he must be seeing my messages and still never responds, so I don't know what to think. Do any other Michigan guys here know him or are able to get in touch with him? I didn't expect this since he participated last year, is a long time Pinside member with lots of games and even an arcade apparently, but he gave me all his information in early November and I haven't heard anything since then. At this point I'd just like to know what happened.
I've had some people reach out to me to get the information of the Pinsider that got Grinched and I know one person even already sent him a gift. I'm going to send him something too and if you would like his contact and idea information to send him something as well, please shoot me a PM and I will get it to you. The Pinsider has been more than understanding about the whole situation, so hopefully we can give him a nice belated Christmas and at least this way we will have more present opening pics to all drool over.

Quoted from LesManley:No unfortunately. I don't know what the problem is, but it appears we have our first ever Grinch in 5 years of Pinside Secret Santa...Pinsider Penguindeity .

Wasn’t there a Pinside moderator grinch a year or two ago, or did I miss the update on that situation?
