NintendoAGE Secret Santa Gift Thread!

Ho Ho Ho!
It's already dark here at the North Pole, and some people won't be available tomorrow - so let's see what Santa brought you!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for participating, on my end it was really great to see what people collect, and talk to new people and help new people come together. There was a huge turn out this year, and I'm hoping next time even more will sign up.

I'd like to maybe do one these again in Spring, just for fun so keep your eyes open.

Just a quick note that once your Secret Santa is revealed, you're more then welcome to make a transaction with them so that you can raise your feedback!

Thanks again everyone!

-Free..err, "Secret Santa"

ps: I'd like to make a special thanks to !damage, really big help in all of this.

    Just a note to secret santa's - feel free to reveal yourself in this thread!
  • Second reveal is from burdger, who also couldn't be here to post. He received:

    -Donkey Kong Country

    -A Custom painted Zapper

    -A Custom painted controller

    -Super Mario Bros. 3



    Big thanks to his secret santa!
  • HA i am sure Arch is loving the Obama photo image



    anyway I am away from home until the 26th but didn't want to seem ungrateful, so I apologize for no photograph.



    I received two GREAT NES Repros from themotherbrain, so big thanks and props to the man in NY image



    California Raisins & Space Invaders are now sitting comfortably in my NES homebrew/repro shelf . Thank you SO much image... my first repros NOT from retrousb (other than Ditka). I sat down and gave space invaders a round... VERY cool on the NES. I will get to the raisin's this weekend when I am doing nothing at all image Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.
  • I don't really collect a lot of SNES... just games that I either like, remember from my childhood, or would like to play in the future. Games like RPGs, Marios, Contra III, TMNT IV, etc. Anyways, I had the first two Mortal Kombats and needed the third. Low and behold, now I have it image



    Only catch is that it is sealed and I don't collect any sealed games, at least not yet. I really hope I don't look back 5 years from now bankrupt with a closet full of sealed games and think to myself "I remember that damn Christmas in 2008 where I got my first sealed game and ever since that's all I've wanted"... ha.

    And then going on the shelf where he belongs:

    Merry Christmas to all!

    I wouldn't have known who sent it, but they put their sign in in the mailing address too

    Thanks Skem!!

  • Man these are some REALLY sweet gifts so far!
  • It just so happened that I was in the middle of a trade with Tusk-man and he picked me as a Secret Santa. I was blown away when I opened my parcel from him image A few of the items were part of the trade I had going with him (such as the signed NWC poster, the duck hunt box and I think the Super Jeopardy) but it was so amazing finding everything else in the box.

    When I found the first NWC poster in the box unsigned I was thinking to myself  "Awww, he seems to have left the signed one out...everything's nice, but I though we had a deal going..." Little did I know that the signed one was hiding at the bottom of everything else image He's stared me along a journey of spiritual enlightenment with some Wisdom Tree games too image

    Thanks Tusk!!!!

  • Wow, those are some amazing gifts!
  • Nice gifts everyone..
  • Awesome guys! Keep them coming.
  • Mine hasn't shown up yet.... soon hopefully! Can't wait to see if the gift I sent was enjoyed too. I had like nothing on the users list so it was quite a grab bag.
  • Please PM me if you've yet to receive a gift so I can double check if it has been sent or not. I have a bunch of tracking numbers.
  • Hey all! I got quite a thrill when I opened my Secret Santa present from Custom NES Guy. He combined my love of Metroid and custom paint and made me my very own Metroid themed NES! If that wasn't ridiculous enough, I open a bubble envelope and there is a matching cartridge! I am truly humbled by your generosity, Jared. The work you do is fantastic. It is hands down the coolest present I will get this year. This will never leave my collection.

    Check out the video that homeboy made for me to show it off. This thing is as beautiful in person.


    Thank you and Merry Christmas NA!

  • ^that is really nice looking

    I knew this was coming to you, and couldn't wait to here how excited you'd be! Glad you really like it.
    Jared, you really out-did yourself my friend.


  • Dude, you have no idea. There is even a hint of silver metal flake in the orange that you can only see in direct light. Right down to the smallest detail. It is an amazing gift.

      I got a nice copy of Mega Man 2 from pslamalfa. I already had a copy of this CIB but out of the 150 or so CIB in my collection it was by far the worst looking box I have so this worked out great! My old box had almost the entire back of the box ripped off and was also crushed a little. Thanks Paul!

    Merry X-mas!

  • Thanks and your welcome Rob! Yeah I wish the pics would show the silver flakes in the orange. I thought they were a nice accent to the silver trim. Im glad it arrived okay.
