Some people go above and beyond. I wouldn't buy that much stuff for a friend I knew in real life, never mind someone online. So don't beat yourself up over it :P
My very first Secret Santa I sent my Santee a 750 point tyranid army, complete with converted carnifex and broodlord, but that was because I'd been pondering what to do with the ridiculous amount of excess nids I had.
This year, I just shipped direct to my Santee because there weapons of choice were not something I could paint, match, or convert on my own.
I am uberenvious of Nax, though. That sure nust makeup for a couple of those deadbeat assholes you were saddled with!
Yeah, I definitely had some super deadbeat assholes, thats for sure :P You guys made up for that last year though. I think, basically, all of this forums goodwill reset my deadbeat-Santa mojo, and now I'm normal like everyone else... I just got a very, very generous Santa :P
The following people are amazing and I love them: Wildcat, Timspork, Kias, Denada, susan, Sharp101, [GHSC]Ryctor, Matev, Matrias, ItBurns, Slapnuts, Dayspring, see317, and the unknown poster that sent me a box of Death Company! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!

Wow, my Secret Santa is a badass. Already got my gift of the Assault on Black Reach starter set for WH40k! No pictures at the moment (as my camera is jank), and no card to let me know who to specifically thank, but thanks!
Now I gotta get mine done and sent...

Dear Santee, when you get my Amazon delivery, since I have never ordered something and had it sent to someone else by Amazon before, please disregard all of my personal information.
Since you've mentioned this several times over, I'm beginning to believe you were my Secret Santa. If so, thanks so much it's awesome!

Oops, I'm your santa Alazull. I thought I put my a little note on the receipt thing with my forum name! I hope it gets your 40k off the ground!

Oh, awesome! Yeah, there wasn't any receipt in the box or anything, but it totally will get me started in the hobby. Hopefully you get something equally as awesome dude.

Your item was delivered at 12:01 pm on November 17, 2011 in [redacted].
So, here I was, coming home from a pretty nice day out. Pleasant dinner with my mother, and then afterwards went and helped one of my friends ring in his birthday with dessert and a little booze. I come home ready to wind down and catch up on the forums...
Guess what showed up today???? One of these guys!!!!! Thank you Secret Santa (didn't see your info anywhere on the product, so I've got no idea who you are)! I actually have a Tournament tomorrow I was bringing my Circle to, so I shall be gluing him together within the hour to go wreck some face !

The rest shipped today, Susan. You should be getting it soon. Sorry it couldn't have made it for the tournament also.
I'm going to assume that's me since I don't think anyone else is in the GTA :P
I checked the mail when I got home but it might not show up until monday if it doesn't actually say "delivered". I'll check with the concierge first thing tomorrow morning.

03:47 MISSISSAUGA Item processed at postal facility
Not sure what that means; were you not home earlier today, person who doesn't know I'm talking specifically to them yet?
It means that it showed up at the postal facility and is going through the processing and logging. It'll say out for delivery and not delivered if someone wasn't home.
susan got me Survive: Escape from Atlantis. I really like trying new board games and this game looks like fun. I'm going to get some friends together as soon as I can to try it out.
It seems this game originally came out in 1982 and was only recently reprinted? Very cool.
Hope you like it . It does work best with a full group of friends who naturally tend towards stabbing eachother in the back, and is simple enough to play with a few drinks and snacks and the like. It's one of my girlfriend's favorites, though she does threaten to break up every time I wipe out one of her boats...

The people I play games with all really enjoy fucking eachother over in games, so this should be a blast. I'm going to read though the rules later tonight to see how it plays.
In related news: A Tharn Ravager Whitemane showed up in my mail today, courtesy of valhalla130 . This and the Stalker just made my lists a whole lot deadlier, Val; when I'm cutting through swaths of infantry and my opponent is crying, I'll think of you and smile .

Glad to hear it. I know absolutely nothing about Warmachine.
So, if you're holding off waiting for black friday, I just got this e-mail from Maelstrom with a code for 17% off for the next 10 days...
Hi there,
It's Chriiiiiistmaaaaaas in 2011 - how quick has this year gone - and here at Maelstrom Games, www.maelstromgames.co.uk, we're all happy and jolly and everything. Santa's coming and we'd like to make him arrive a bit quicker by giving you a superb 17% off UK RRP voucher from today for ten days! How cool is that!
YOUR CHRISTMAS VOUCHER
It's a great chance to grab yourself all those lovely new ranges we've brought in over the past couple of years since our expansion as well as all your old favourites! It will work on all the items within our webstore, but:
- not on any Kingdom Death items
- not on any Studio McVey items
- not on any Seeds of War items
- not on any Too Fat Lardies items

Apart from the above, the voucher will work on pre-orders and, crucially, you'll still earn Moneyback - although tiered discounts are disabled when using a voucher of course.
Your voucher code is: ITS-CHRISTMAS-2011
To use this voucher simply register on the webstore, www.maelstromgames.co.uk (if you haven't already), copy and paste the code into the Voucher field in your basket when you have selected the items you want, press 'REDEEM', and the webstore will do the rest.

Remember though that this voucher is intended for the webstore only - it does not apply to any of our auctions or shop inventory items on eBay.
Happy Ordering!

Maelstrom is slow as fuck though. I bought my Santee's gifts on the 9th from stuff that was all listed as 'in stock' and it still hasn't shipped yet. :P
I've been running CF Santa for two or three years now since taking it over from the last CF Santa, but as the poster that is my secret identity is using CF and indeed PA less and less I feel it's time to pass on the holly-coated torch.
I'd therefore like to invite anyone who feels that they could and would like to take over the organising of CF Santa to shoot me a PM, please. Obviously the handover wouldn't take place until after this season's run, though.

(Excited!)
Only one thing more. But I hope you like it.
BTW, I think Santa has a sense of humor in making you my Santee. lol
I like how this is a race to the bottom now. Here's my bad gift idea: make a "macaroni" holiday card with leftover bits and sprues.
