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.

Big thanks to his secret santa!
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
California Raisins & Space Invaders are now sitting comfortably in my NES homebrew/repro shelf . Thank you SO much
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!
Nice little lot of mostly CIB games, needed all of the boxes. Thanks Jonebone
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

Looks like it found a good home jonebone, Merry Christmas!
I got a loose copy of Fish Dude & a bootleg game (rockman world 3 & jurassic park 3)
I wouldn't have known who sent it, but they put their sign in in the mailing address too
Thanks Skem!!
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
Thanks Tusk!!!!
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!
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 you 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.

Jared, you really out-did yourself my friend.
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!

I had a feeling that something like this was coming for whoever "custom nes guy" got. Awesome!!!
Thanks a lot !damage!
HOLY CRAP!!! Never expected to get something this good. Mission Freakin' Cobra! Thank you so much to Jon (nes_guy). And as if Mission Cobra weren't enough, I get a couple bonus items too. Too bad I don't have a DS, lol. Also, I'm not sure what the monkey is from, but monkeys are always good in my book. I hope you got something rad yourself Jon. Thanks again.
I'm gonna go play this right now.
Looks like everyone got some cool stuff. I'll have to participate next year
That's what I was thinking.Great gifts everyone.
