Yes Signed by Zombie Yeti and believe me the dogs aren't starving LOL

I missed this year but half the fun will be watching what others get. Have fun all.

Dear Secret Santa,
I’ve been told my gift has arrived but was place with other gifts to be wrapped for Christmas.

My gift arrived and I could not wait to open it! I’m so lucky to have Jody from rampomatic as my SS (he revealed himself). He sent new Dirty Harry ramps, rivet set, parts holder, T-shirt, stickers, magnets and coasters. Thanks again SS!!

Who is delivering on a Sunday? The first night of Hannucha, too.

Arrived Saturday, lol

Gift is together, hoping to send it soon, but i keep adding to it!

Got mine all purchased, just waiting for the last item to arrive and to pick one thing up locally. Then will be all wrapped up and sent out.

omggggggg it's here it's here it's here!!! Sizable box arrived, I'm in for a treat -- the packing list attached to the outside (which I almost didnt open for fear of spoiling it) was actually a note from my Santa with clues and indications there several gifts inside!!!!

No way I can wait til Christmas ... but at a minimum I'll wait til the kids get home from school. Some of these clues are very tantalizing....

Full report to follow.

All packed up and ready to ship out this week!

I can not even begin to express how extremely grateful I am for the gifts that I received from my secret Santa. I did not even believe the call I received on Friday saying that I have something coming freight today and when my wife sent me a picture of what arrived I knew that I needed to take my lunch break right then and there, drag my dad from his house to help me, and get this pinball table set up. It still doesn't even feel real to me that, that is what arrived at my house. I will never not be thankful for this incredibly generous gift I received, whoever you are out there, if I could give you a big hug, I would...and dammit, I'm a good hugger.

Nice score! I've been thinking about adding putting some banners in the gameroom for the Stern games I have one of these days.

I'm still patiently waiting for the Secret Santa presents I ordered to arrive so I can finally send my package out.

Hot damn!

I received a package from DHL Sunday afternoon.

The banner was your key takeaway there? Unless I'm interpreting things wrong, it appears that Secret Santa gifted an BRAND NEW MACHINE. Absolutely incredible, this community is amazing.

I think someone got a new machine last year also!

Man, that's going to be hard to top.

Looks like flip n out was involved

WOWOWOWOWOW!!! So Awesome. Congrats to both the Santa and the receiver. Amazing.

Is it behind the pinball machine

Wow awesome!

Congrats! That's so awesome! This community truly is some of the best people!

Woah, wait..! If Petie423 received a Godzilla banner, a T-shirt and a game room rubber mat (which are the best to have, actually!), then those gifts are just fantastic!

But if someone also dropped a NIB Godzilla Pro, then I'm pretty much in awe and speachless..! Somebody pinch me! Lol

Yes, answer to answer everyone's question, I got a NIB Godzilla and I still cannot believe it, I am just completely blown away

That's AMAZING! Congrats to you and your Secret Santa. What a great gift!! Godzilla Pro is simply just a 'wow' game and opening a Stern NIB is a just fantastic.. wow, just wow!

I guess I'll throw in a second chinchilla into the box before sending it

Edited: Secret Santa, you've hit this WAY out the ballpark and you continuously help restore my faith in just how generous people can be!

I knew I should not have mailed my gift so soon. I would have gone in for 3 chinchillas now. Hmm, never to late!

The generosity with is incredible!! Pinside can be ugly, but this just proves what a great place this is, and how many great people are on here.

HUGE CONGRATS! I have been asked not to share the name of your Pinside Secret Santa (wouldn't be so Secret if I did), but this is easily one of the most rewarding things that Nicole and I have been a part of. Not to be too sappy, but when I received the call a few months back to help coordinate this unbelievable gesture it brought tears to my eyes and filled my heart with hope. This individual is among us in the community and wanted to do something special this holiday season. No agenda, no need for recognition, just pure kindness and love. I can tell you that they have been as excited for you to receive this as you likely were to see that it wasn't a mistake haha. I am honored that Flip N Out Pinball could be a small part of it and I am even more humbled by the support and love of this community. Pinball family and friends are the best. And just like family, we all have our trying times, but at the end of the day, we are here for one another. Congrats again Petie423 and play the hell out of that thing buddy!!! Merry Christmas everyone

If you've put in a male and female, it should have worked out by the time your gift gets there! Hopefully, your Santee will get more than 3!!

Myself, I'm just waiting to see who will be the lucky Santee receiving what balt has crocheted this year

Mine just came in Today! now I gotta decide if I open it or wait!

JJ

That is a good thought, I do respect the dignity of the chinchilla and would never ask what pronoun they use. Thus no guarantees of a box full of goodies.

Ah yes, I too await this one!

Be sure to check for air holes or a note saying contains live animals.
Little sucker might need to stretch his or her legs after a long journey.

WOW! they (SS) set the bar pretty high!

I will admit, I kind of figured it out when Flip N Out contacted me and I checked out their web site, and then when Fedex Freight called me and they said it was on a pallet, but I still did not believe it until I saw it and my wife sent me a picture when it arrived, I've said it before, but I am still astonished and grateful for it.

Amazing. So cool

I guess I read it too fast and was assuming just that first pic was the gifts. I thought they already had the godzilla pro. Getting the Godzilla pro as the gift is AMAZING! Congrats to the reciever!

This is what makes it all so much fun. Congrats & when can we come play it?

I can't tell you how much this means to me, when I first saw it I was shaking from pure excitement, this is something I will remember for the rest of my life

So freaking cool! I knew the sky was the limit, but that's just absolutely incredible. Congrats Petie423

Congrats Petie423!

You must have been a good boy this year!

I know everyone is thinking it so I’m just gonna say it, should have got the premium

**Obviously this is a joke, but you have to spell it out these days, fingers crossed someone else uses flipnout for my SS gift lol**

Y'know...I just can't stop thinking about this.

What an amazing thing to do for a fellow pinhead.

Whoever you are Sir/Madam......Thank you for not only giving Petie423 an epic Christmas, but also giving some of us Pinsiders a smile on our face.

Also, Kudos to Zach at FlipNOut.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Mine came in today from my SS and I’m super excited but think I will wait til Christmas to open it if I can. Love the Godzilla drawing on the side of the package..
Huge smile on my face when I got home and saw the package and realized what it was..

Holy crap! NIB pin!!!

This is beyond awesome I’m just as happy for the receiver as I am the giver. Great for you both!

I hope that feeling you both got carry’s on for years.

Cheesy… yes but this is awesome!! Love it!!

incredible kindness out there. I am hoping my gift stacks up. Looks like I might have to up my game a bit to even register on the scale thanks to the incredible kindness presented thus far!

so unreal and exciting. I'm so happy for you and extremely happy for the Secret santa that was able to facilitate a gifting like this. I would love to be able to pull something like this off.

Just to let all know…the gift is a gift. Don’t let the monetary value weigh us down. I know the person who gave a pin wouldn’t want it to become a competition…that said, so cool! But, anything given is a gift and should be cherished…can’t wait for mine, and hope I’ve hit the mark with my santee!

Thanks for saying that. It is a good reminder. I want to make sure that the recipient knows I took the time to consider them with all they receive.

Agreed^^^
