SoulBlazer Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Very kind of you to help to make sure everyone gets something, Ax. I also have some good stuff I can 'donate' to someone who went without, but I can't mail anything till I get back home in about nine days.

AtariNerd Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) It's been a difficult year for many.. let's hope the new year is a more hopeful, peaceful one. Can't have SS orphans.. I can help, but it probably won't be until the New Year... maybe a Secret Birthday Buddy?

hex65000 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I don't think I put candy in your box. If you ate anything in there, see a doctor. I know the Generation 2 Transformers were kind of simple, but they are pretty cool. The clear figures were Japanese PVC figures. They came painted and in a 'clear type' variant. Beast Machines took a lot of flak, but the Vehicon figures were honestly pretty cool looking. There also should have been some Animal Crossing E-readers in the Tenchu box. I can't remember everything I put in there anymore either, but seriously, there was no candy in there. Again, glad you enjoyed it. Also a thank you to Keilbaca for the DS spinner. Space Invaders Extreme 2 is a ton better this way! Hex.

Jimmy Yakapucci Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 IT CAME ! IT CAME ! And it was soooo good ! ! I have been collecting Atari games for 10+ years and have a lot. I am proud of my collection and the latest updated total is 595 major label varioation games with 184 boxes. I am at the point where I don't get to add much to it anymore, so when I sort of crossed my fingers and asked for a boxed 2600 game from my SS I knew that there was a shot I would get a duplicate game, but I figured what the hell, right? Maybe I'd get lucky. Well, my SS is the bomb, the stuff, this shiznit, all that and a bag of chips, the king of Atari land and my new hero. I do not get to add a new CIB game to my collection... I get to add three ! All three Mythicon games, boxes and manuals! Helllzzzz yeah ! ! ! Better yet, ALL THREE games are in WAY better condition than my loose ones, so instant upgrade. I had ZERO Mythicon boxes OR manuals, and now I have ALL of them! I couldn't be happier. Today was my last day of work until the New Year and I already had a big grin on my face from that. Getting home and opening that box put me over the top. Thank you so much whoever you are. That was one hell of a gift. (And they threw in a bag of Peanut M&M's too... I mean... wow...) MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ! ! ! ! Glad that you liked them. At least I think you did, I can't really tell. You said you wanted boxes from a company other than Atari and Activision, and I figured that this was about as far out as you can get. Although I am sure that some people would be offended to get what some people believe are the 3 worst games for the system. I would like to thank my SS, whose name I don't have handy. I was provided with a pair of complete Saturn games to add to my collection as well as 2 tins of Altoids. If you think that the original ones are strong, try the licorice flavored ones.

Austin Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I would like to take a moment to give my thanks to the Secret Santa Emergency Response Team. Thanks to them, I received a $15 Amazon gift card. This is actually pretty sweet because I do a lot of shopping on Amazon. Thanks S.S.E.R.T., you saved Christmas!! I was never excited about the 3D glasses until I got a chance to try the Vectrex ones recently. Ceb, have you tried the Vectrex 3D and is the SMS 3d more or less striking, visually?? I'd like to hear peoples' opinions on this. I haven't tried the Vectrex ones but I used to have the SMS 3D glasses and thought the effect was excellent! There still hasn't been anything quite like it on a home system outside of the VB.

I haven't tried the Vectrex ones but I used to have the SMS 3D glasses and thought the effect was excellent! There still hasn't been anything quite like it on a home system outside of the VB. The two 3D systems are 100% different from each other as far as "player experience". I would have to say that the Vectrex 3d Imager is, hands down the coolest 3d system out there. It is just mediocre as far as the 3d goes, but the WOW factor is off the charts and the execution was novel and the system looks... well... just too cool!
