    Bobcat en route, in 2 parts.

    Bobcat received as well, but not yet opened, because my wife has Views about opening gifts before Christmas.

    What does the Great Cardboard Tube in the sky have to do with Christmas? Besides it's bobcats we're talking about here, not a pair of sodding socks!

    Good thing these aren't Christmas gifts then. It's close enough now that it probably doesn't matter, but in general we *heavily* encourage people to open things and post immediately. Show her this if she doubts you.

    So I found a package notification in the mail. I exchanged it for this:
    mod edit: image removed, re-add without home address

    What's this? What's this?

    I open it up and pull everything out:

    I received my gift in today and love it @dashD. The box(es) were hysterical. Pics will be up when I can get my card reader to actually read a card.

    Apologies to both @dashD and @smalllady, my bobcat arrived during the busiest time of the year at work combining with me becoming rather ill. Any how, onto the pics.

    I came home from one particularly long shift to discover a box with curious writing on my porch.
    [img][/img]DSCF5813_zps6329bd68.jpg

    Inside was a beautifully wrapped gift
    [img][/img]DSCF5824_zps8a72a73c.jpg

    containing another box with curious writing:
    [img][/img]DSCF5821_zps07561224.jpg

    and this goes on for a while before I finally reach a box containing many other smaller wrapper boxes!
    [img][/img]DSCF5833_zps120fa1ee.jpg

    Bobcat the first a Zelda key chain

    Bobcat the second: a Batsignal for my desk

    Bobcat the thrid: Fluxx

    Bobcat the fourth: We didn't playtest this at all

    Reminder: IF YOU DO NOT POST PICTURES OF YOUR GIFT, YOU WILL NOT BE MARKED AS RECEIVED.

    Seriously, please open, take pics and post right away. Making a post of "i'll post pics later" doesn't help anything.

    I have received my gift just about an hour ago! Will be opening later tonight and pictures to come.

    As for MY gift to my giftee: it was sent, and then returned for some reason due to the USPS near me being completely terrible. I will be sending it out tomorrow, and while it should arrive before Jan. 1, I am truly sorry if it doesn't. :(

    Dear Santee,

    The Bobcat barrage will not stop until you post pictures. Do you want to be up to your neck in irate bobcats? I wouldn't.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Bobcat Santa

    I think Royal Mail tried to deliver my parcel, but that have charged me a customs VAT of £20 ($US35) before I can receive it. It would appear the UK's border agency don't believe in The Great Cardboard Tube in the Sky....

    Hey, @BombClancy‌, did you happen to get me a CAH Holiday Bullshit set? I can't figure out where it came from.

    I got a "Part 1 of 2" bobcat. I shall wait a couple days for part 2, and if part 2 doesn't come within a day or so I will post pictures of part 1 on their own.

  • soozerellasoozerella Registered User regular
    I've not received any bobcats yet, so hopefully that jibes with what the status of my pkg should be at this point. :) I'm always paranoid about PO delivery errors (they've given my stuff to the wrong house before, alas) and/or crummy neighbors making off with things.

    Part 1, picking my weakest stat is probably the best plan to give me a more well rounded set of abilities. It's good to be S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

    Apologies for the breach of protocol; this was my first Secret Bobcat experience. The upside, though, is it gave me enough time to assemble my gifts!

    I received my bobcat some time ago and thanked my gifter via twitter but have been slow about posting here.
    My cats got toys! First up was a scratching pad. A must for any cat-parent.
    IMG_2182_zpsa85c623c.jpg
    They are intrigued by the tissue ball in the underside.
    IMG_2184_zps42c8c97e.jpg
    And that came with catnip so they were ALL over the packaging.
    Next, felt on a string.

    Clearly it must be defeated.

    The human (me) was also gifted Apollo Justice for my DS but that doesn't come with cat pictures. :3
    Thank you @bubblegumnex <3

    Edit: The bobcat I shipped has successfully made it over the great waters so it will hopefully arrive in a day or 2. Dang that's cutting it close to deadline. *bites fingernails*

    Today is a very auspicious day as not only is it my Birthday but it is also the day my gift from the great Cardboard Tube in the sky arrived at my humble home. The agent of this gift is none other than @Punzie who did a sterling job of getting these gifts to me before the deadline of 1st Jan 2015 and actually on my anniversary of my existence in this reality, which I have now celebrated 44 times. Here is the picture for evidence:

    The woolly item is a PAX emblazoned dice bag, which I initially mistook for a teacozy for a teapot, for I am that British!

    A Bobcat Appears.
    Firstly I must say it's nice to know someone else gets robbed when shipping stuff. It's a box addressed to me from a Land Down under Awesome!!!
    What trove of riches has the Great Cardboard Tube in the Sky instructed his Emmisary to send? Also who is The Emmisary?!?
    Aha! A Note the Emmisary is none other than @Manic2k‌
    Appropriately Australian a Cute Koala Keychain it only bit me once :)
    Under the heading of Weird there are these kinda rad Animals of Australia Cards from Taronga and Woolworths
    A Pinny Arcade Pin! one of the limited editions and coincidentally one I missed somehow. So this was awesome!

    and last but not least... Vegemite.. umm ...thanks? Somehow I've always believed vegemite to be a prank food item to feed to tourists but that said I'll try it at some point.

    Thanks @Manic2k you did well.

    So, I've been incredibly slow about posting my bobcat, and I would like to say an extreme, heartfelt sorry to @draklan, who was my AWESOME gifter. I was in the process of trying to move, so posting pics became a distant thing in my mind. However, without further ado, here they are:

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get any pictures of the wonderful individually wrapped gifts, as I have a little sister who loves gifts to no avail. So, after letting her help me unwrap some, the first things we came across were these two guys:
    jnmnjgmpa028.jpg
    The Ren is admittedly a bit unnerving when you first see him, but he's still awesome nonetheless.

    Next up were two awesome blind box figures, one from The Walking Dead series, and one as one of the turret guns from the Portal series:
    cz3xpiih90di.jpglvdpzla3ta62.jpg

    One of the more practical items that came was an ice tray, but it wouldn't be a REAL ice tray unless it served up batcubes!
    v8we1nkciajx.jpg
    I haven't used them yet, but I cannot wait to try.

    My sister and I were very excited for these three, as they gave us both something to do together, and something that flexed our minds!
    io8u7612911i.jpg
    td9oiqx10fpl.jpgd162z6q3somf.jpg

    Two of the last things I unwrapped were some awesome POP Vinyls, and of course one of them was of the best (sort of) hero of all time: Deadpool!
    jimj26zo6fvo.jpg

    I wasn't able to snag a picture of EVERYTHING that came separately (my sister snatched the glasses, and the candy was gone almost immediately :P) , but here is a picture of all the amazing things received:
    6e84egfs6zie.jpg


    They were all awesome gifts, and I'm sorry if I made you anxious by not posting. You did an awesome job, @draklan!

    So I just went to check on the bobcat I sent. Turns out it never got sent. I ordered through ozgameshop, since my person is in australia, and apparently my credit card company canceled payment on it a day or so after the fact. I never got any emails or contact of any kind saying that it got kicked back, or that I had an outstanding order or needed to pay or anything like that. Just logged in, and it said "awaiting payment on this order." I've tried paying again, and it says it went through.

    Sorry @Squire_Pug‌

    It's coming now, I think, if this website is to be believed.
