I received my SS package today, but I can't tell who it's from because the writing is very tiny. I might open it when I get back home in a few hours.

 

The gift(s) for my SS will be going out in the mail on Monday afternoon since I didn't actually get them until last night. Yeah, I suck.

I opened my SS package this afternoon. I got a big ol' bag of peanut M & M's and 10 common-ish 2600 carts (including two I don't actually own). A buddy of mine has this ridiculously high-end printer in his shop and I'm going to experiment with printing some reproduction labels on these during the week between Christmas and New Year's. muahaha....

 

The USPS shipping labels shows the box coming from NC. Random Terrain? Thanks!

Nope. Not me.

Thank you, Secret Santa :D, or should I say roberto XD

 

Yep, I guessed it'd would have been difficult to maintain anonymity with a parcel coming from Singapore :P ! Actually, I'm surprised it arrived so fast (a Swiss colleague told me Customs over there are getting more and more strict and I was afraid it could have been delayed, that's why I shipped it so early).

 

Anyway, hope you enjoy the 2600 game and the DVD. the cart was originally from Australia while I picked the latter at the Tokyo Game Show: while I don't think it has any collectible value, it surely isn't something you find easily around there! ;)

 

Merry Christmas!! :party:

Shipped today :)

 

Just for the record, I really enjoy doing these. I read through a ton of my receiver's posts trying to find stuff that he or she didn't have but that I knew of and thought that they might enjoy. With these, I always find trying to figure out exactly what to do the most fun part.

 

Now, I hope that the person who receives it enjoys it!

Still waiting on an item I've ordered, so likely won't be able to mail my package until late in the month or very early December.

 

Usually if its something like that, I just ship it directly to the person. However I am not entirely sure if they the item anonymous or not... :/

Just got my gift.

 

Whoever my secret santa is... you're too awesome. I LOVE DDR type of games, and never owned Feet of Fury. The PinBot was awesome, and the Generation NEX controllers are really awesome :D

 

That lynx is very fixable, it plays in the background. The brightness knob is broken off inside of it. Very fixable, and thank you for Qix, one of my all time favorite Arcade games. :D

 

Thank you so much :D :D

That was me :)

 

No problem on anything -- I really enjoy trying to find unique stuff for other people once a year and sending it to them. I'll admit -- you were one of the most stumping people I've ever had in a Secret Santa type thing with your responses, so I spent like a day cyber-stalking your old posts to try to figure out what to send.

 

If you have never played NES PinBot before, it's amazing and one of the reasons that I got into pinball to begin with. Real PinBot on the other side of the basement can thank it being here because of NES PinBot.

 

Also, just so you know -- those NEX controllers do need a NEX system to play. They aren't perfect because of that, but you said interesting oddities, and those are definitely that, if nothing else :)

 

Finally, with that Lynx, I purposely picked one of the defective ones that I have lying around that I thought was the easiest to fix. Enjoy getting it working -- and, did you have one before? I didn't think that you did, but I couldn't quite tell... :)

 

Really glad you got it!
