CF SUMMER SANTA MID-YEAR MADNESS 2010!

Or oh hey, maybe Ein's Santa has another present on the way but had also ordered two smaller blisters in case Ein already had what he'd ordered, WHICH HE HAD, SO HIS SANTA HAD TO RETURN THE MAIN GIFT AND WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE?
Oh WAIT, that's exactly what has happened, and I know this because he told me.
No editorialising about whether you feel a gift is poor in-thread please. If you have a problem with a particular gift then PM me.
I'll also point people to the part of the OP which says 'For guidelines, I'd suggest something like $10/£6 (or $15/£9-ish with shipping) as a minimum. The minimum price on the gift is there to mostly prevent someone from sending like a single arm, half a body or the random pages that fell out of someone's crappily produced D20 OGL book. If you wish to do so then by all means go as far above this minimum limit as you want.'
I appreciate that some people can be very generous with their gifts, but Santa believes that the thought counts more than the cash involved.
This has been pretty fun so far.
I still don't know who my santa was! :P
I appreciate Gabe's sentiments, in any case, but I'm sure the fact that I already have a lot of shit makes my Santa's job that much more tedious. In any event, I'm glad my Santa ain't one of those deadbeats who joins up to the event and forgets all about it, and the Winter Guardsmen are appreciated.

10 snap fit cadians!
That'd actually be fine :P
Can always use more infantry squads, heh. Considering I already have... 27 vehicles? At last count, anyways. Although more vehicles is nice, too :P

My mystery Santa got me a box of Knights Exemplar for my Menoth force and a teeny tiny little brush that should help my unsteady hands get to all the little crevices I'm having trouble reaching as a n00b painter.
I'll post some pics tomorrow, busy night tonight.
Thanks!
Which we know now. However, as the situation was presented, no mention of who it was from, no note, no post, not even a funny picture of orks super-imposed over a beach as explanation for why the box had two blisters in it, it looked a lot like someone going, 'man, I have no idea what I should do.' I wanted to be sure if anyone else was feeling that way, they knew that we were here to help.
My lips are sealed!
Hi Gabriel, I'm the one who sent Ein the Winter Guard Officer and Standard Bearer. There is also ANOTHER package on the way with more goodies for Ein from me.
I originally went through Ein's blog at the-warforge.net and found his list of Khador. Somehow, I had a huge brain fart and didn't see the Great Bears listed, so I order that for Ein. I also at the same time sent a message to CF Santa asking him to confirm with Ein that he didn't have this set. This was last Friday (
06/04/10)
On Monday evening, I received a PM from CF Santa relayed from Ein that he indeed did have the Great Bears of Gallowood. So I did the following:
1) I ordered him the Officer and Standard Bearer per his list of things he would like. This was in case I had trouble changing the other order, as it possibly could have shipped at this point.
2) I informed CF Santa of the situation.
3) Although Amazon would not let me cancel or change the order, it hadn't shipped and was due to ship on Tuesday. So I wrote a message to the seller asking if I could change the order.
On Tuesday, they canceled the order, so I was able to change it to something that Ein could use for more than bitz. So, Ein has ANOTHER package coming with a much more generous amount of goodies. I won't spoil the suprise, but I definately think he will be happy. =-)
Please note that I have also provided CF Santa with the tracking numbers as they have been provided to me, as I don't want to be a deadbeat due to some shipping issue.
Also, I apologize for not having put my name on the package, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to add a message to be included through amazon, nor a gift option, as the item is through a third party seller and not Amazon.
I didn't want to come here and post out everything and ruin the surprise for Ein. I apologize for the confusion this has caused.
And Ein, I originally wanted to paint up something for you, but you're an amazing painter and modeler, and I didn't feel it was in the spirit of XMAS to make you strip the models once you received em. =o)
*edit*
Gabriel_Pitt, had I read Ein's post and not known what was going on, I feel I would have had a similar reaction. No hard feelings from me. =-)

I'm looking forward to assembling and painting these bad boys once I get some practice on my Khador stuff first. I'm hoping to make my Menoth stuff my best looking army.
Next to the Errants is a very finely detailed brush, which my santa wisely sent me after reading some of my recent posts about having trouble with the teeny tiny parts that need painting.
Thank you!
As a sidenote, I'm waiting on one more thing to come in, then I can mail out stuff to my recipient!
Fair enough, but in the future I would appreciate a discreet PM to let me know there might be an issue rather than a call-out in the thread, please.
Just as a clarifier for anyone else who is unsure, you all have just under seven weeks left (to 31st July).

Of course, I've done this before when it's really late at night and the impulse buy urge hits when I'm surfing around ebay, so I didn't even expect it to be another gift.
Inside was a Reckoner, a heavy warjack for my upcoming Menoth force. I always thought the Reckoner looked pretty cool, because he carries around this frigging huge stick that he bashes things with. In a world where steam powered robots fire rockets and shoot electricity and blast fire, I have to respect a warjack that just hits something with a really heavy stick.
Thanks, Santa!
Check his other hand...
The one that is, in fact, a huge fucking cannon.
Seriously though, the Reckoner is an awesome jack.
The stick is so much cooler, though.
Now I need to call them on the phone, like some sort of terrible caveman.
Bah, I placed my order using smoke signals!

Back to the drawing board.
