Will keep it under the tree until Christmas so I get something pinball related for the holidays Happy holidays to everyone!
Quoted from jazc4:Tracking says my SS recipient will be getting a big box tomorrow!
Lol your post for sure got everyone walking in circles that are still waiting, I know, I’m all excited as I’m still waiting.
Quoted from PinBobF:I am a bit late to post this. Got it a couple weeks ago. Excited to open it but waiting to open with a friend when he gets his. Can’t wait!!
[quoted image]
If I can wait long enough after I get mine for us to do it together :-p

no, it's not you
my recipient has been on here regularly since its delivery. if they hadn't, I would chalk it up to being on vacation, but at this point I don't know what to think.

Hopefully porch pirates did not abscond with it, leaving recipient in the dark it delivered?
Quoted from jazc4:TroyS, you aren't mine. He's a little more north and definitely more east than you. But I hope yours arrives soon!
I see what u did there.. he's playing great

You can always ask Lesmanley to reach out to them to make sure they actually got the package. Could be lost in the mail or stolen and they dont even know they were supposed to receive anything which could be why they havent posted.
I'm in the same boat. Said it was delivered a week ago, and no post. I'm still waiting on mine also. Doesn't matter, cause I'm not opening until Christmas. Nope I'm not!
Quoted from 6point5degrees:Just received this in the mail. I mentioned that I was shopping for a Rush pinball machine to replace Godzilla. Must have read old posts of mine to know that I have low ceilings for the topper. Incredibly thoughtful.
Thank you so much!
[quoted image]
That RUSH topper is way rad!
I think I just got my Secret Santa gift. I’m running some errands and will check it later, but pretty sure this is it!!!
Awesome package from my awesome SS, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Really like the game room sign, and hoody - basements get cold here in CO .
In addition you somehow knew I was planning on changing out balls on one of my machine, and got ninjas here just in time.
I maybe a touch intimidated by Grenade Gum.
Thanks again and hope you have the best holidays ever.

That be cool if the Starman logo could be made small enough to fit on the playfield.
Another post. And a GREAT FOLLOW UP
So first off, I think I got another 2022 SS gift show up today! It came from over seas, so either I got a Euro or someone’s drop shipping.
And now the CRAZY follow up. I was informed recently that my original 2021 Secret Santa had not received the gift in shipping time to send to me. None-the-less he sent me some fantastic Deadpool art and other gift.
The gift did come wayyy later on. Well, he boxed it up and has sent it for
This year also. How Fuckin cool is this??!! I’m going to wait for both for XMas eve or day.
Digging that mini pin, I started collecting those myself after first being introduced to them on this thread a few years back.
Whoa whoa whoa... I posted receiving my package a few days ago of the 9 gifts, that I'll start opening tomorrow. And I get home today and another package! A food item??? I better open it! Crab cakes sent overnight from Maryland crab cakes company. Santa...let me tell you I love to eat! And I'm in Michigan..so there are no crab cakes here! I will be sure to post cooked pics of these.. either tomorrow eve or Sunday. What an awesome secret Santa!!! Thank you ..happy holidays!
PXL_20221216_222636356 (resized).jpgThere I was, deep into a great game of pinball, when a helpful elf brought in a box that was just delivered from the North Pole. Believe it or not, I let the ball drain. (Crazy, I know!)
The box was from Santa, from what must be his (or her) snowy pinball palace at 123 Outlane.
I got a box of pinballs (the candy). Never had those before. Very yummy. Yes, I tore right into them. Of course I did!
And Belgiam truffels from Trader Joes! Always the best. If they last a day, it'll be a Christmas miracle.
On the tech side, Santa brought me a large set of wireless outlets with two remotes. Santa must have known that I have pinballs in two rooms and could use two remotes. My local pinball buddy has been suggesting I get wireless outlets for ages. I really needed them.
And, a pin cup for my new Cactus Canyon! The one thing my game room really needs is better places to set down your drink. The perfect gift.
And, Santa thoughtfully provided nice microfiber cloths. Very handy for cleaning the glass and polishing metal. Which I plan to do a lot of over the holidays.
Many thanks, Santa, for your generosity and wonderful gifts! And, tasty, too!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Wishing everyone here at Pinside a very merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and health, fun, and prosperity in the new year.

santa pic 2 (resized).jpgsecret sant (resized).jpgThank you Secret Santa! My gifts have been received and opened early.
I planned to wait but didn’t want to keep my Secret Santa in suspense. My very own Gold Bar!!!! Seriously!!! A gold bar!!
Every year I am humbled and grateful to be a part of this awesome community and this year didn’t disappoint. Thank you Santa for the personalization and context of the gifts you gave.
*Note: one box of candy is missing as it was delicious and didn’t stay safe for long after being opened.

By far the best bbq chips I've ever had (not they I'm an expert or anything). Sooo good. The local food gifts are the best!
I still have the two wrapped presents under the tree, waiting for Christmas.
Thanks Santa!
20221216_161942 (resized).jpgDang Secret Santa Thank you so much for the killer presents.
I received a Deadpool Translite that will look great on my game wall and an original piece of Guns N Roses art by Dayne Henry Jr that will be getting framed asap. It's amazing.
Ill be sure to post once both pieces are up. Thank you again secret Santa for making this a great Christmas.

Quoted from Habermania:Dead Secret Santa, the package has arrived. I can’t wait to open these!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Santa is dead!?
That's worse than hearing he's not real!
Looks like I have to wait some more. I can’t make a word out of these letters. My wife is not happy….she really, really wants me to open them. We leave Sunday for a week and I want to wait for the full experience.
This is my first year of this and I’m already blown away. I’ve got to pick my game up next year. Everyone put so much effort. This is so fun.

I’ve said it many times… Pinball people are the best people.
Thank you John and I will put it to good use!
My package arrived!
Had my little helper help me to unwrap things!
To my Santa, it’s evident you really put a lot of thought into my gifts and I am extremely thankful for everything! The note was very touching, what touched me the most was that I felt like I was invited into your Christmas traditions through “the favorite things” you chose to send.
Sometimes it feels like no one understands you, your gift really made me feel understood.
The book I have already thumbed through a few times and it’s funny I almost bought this myself about a week ago. The chocolates, chocolate pretzels and cinnamon pretzels are all amazing, the pinball wax is much needed! Just thank you for absolutely all the thought!

Oh fun way to open!
Also let’s talk about this pinball coffee table,… kinda want to do that in my basement
EDIT: man FedEx tracking is all over the place. It was supposed to arrive, was delayed then it’s back to no detail at all, just in transit
