keilbaca Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 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 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. Thank you so much :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! I have played a real PinBot, but not the NES version. I can't wait to play it I'll be out for the weekend, so I can't play it till Monday. Ahh ok, sounds like I'll have to find me a NEX then. Wireless NES controllers are amazing in its own right, so finding a NEX will definitely be worth it I always enjoy fixing things... usually enjoy fixing them than playing them. (but from what I heard about the Lynx, this will be the exception) I have not had one before, I have acquired a couple games, but not the system. I'm super excited, I have been wanting a real copy of Feet of Fury for a long time... just by time I remembered to get a copy, I had ran into issues and couldn't get it. Everything was surprising and perfect, it really made me smile super big Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Between vacation and being in the hospital I haven't been able to get mine out yet. I'll do it before the month ends. Didn't have any luck finding the candy that my SS most enjoys so I may need to skip that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariNerd Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm stopping by the post office and dropping off my package, this morning. Unfortunately one of the items (the one I was waiting for) has gone awol, so I'm replacing it with a geek toy, instead. Hopefully, you will find some enjoyment in it.

bennybingo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mine is shipping tomorrow! I'm just adding the final touches - ie: jar of cat piss (per RT's advice) Note to self: Next year, do not wait until the last minute to harvest the cat pee.... Cats don't really appreciate having their pee harvested! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I received my gift today! I got The Wall by Pink Floyd. Thanks, SS! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I gotz a Arthur C Clark book, a Missile Command Record and a Crunchie (British Candy) The book looks cool, I haven't read sci-fi in awhile (more of a mystery person) but I think I'll enjoy it Missile Command record looks good enough to play (a few surface scratches but nothing that looks major) sadly I have no record player, but I think it would look good on the wall in one of those album frames And a crunchie, woot!!! I'm guessing my secret Santa has a grocery nearby that has a small selection of British candy (or even better a British store, if so he needs to get me more ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My gift should have been received yesterday/today... Hope my recipient likes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Mailed mine today by Priorty Mail. Couldn't find the candy that my SS likes so to make up for it I threw in some bonus items that hopefully they will like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Finally got it dropped off. With all good luck it should arrive by Friday or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahuffman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm glad to see that my ss got their package and enjoyed it. I was worried that they would be disappointed. I am starting to get really excited myself, waiting patiently for my package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Got mine! AWESOME! I got two of my favorite candies and....even better..... Almost the ENTIRE Activision cart library! I am ecstatic about that, I think the only cart missing was Commando, which I did keep from before. I ended up using all of my Activision carts for a project a while back and after 2 days was really sad that I didn't have them anymore, but for some reason never got around to getting them again. Now I have almost the entire library I was missing again in one fell swoop! Thanks a ton, Secret Santa! I love it! I was actually just about to buy a big lot of them on eBay next paycheck! Alright! Time to go play some Spider Fighter again! :thumbsup: Still waiting on 3 items from mine to get here, then I'll ship out. Hopefully it won't be too much longer or I'll have to Express them!

SoulBlazer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My SS should be getting my package either today or tommorow, mail permitting. Tommorow is the deadline to get that stuff in the mail folks! Really can't wait for mine to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
