Post by: wildbil52 on November 11, 2019, 11:01:32 AM
Update 1: 11/19/19 - Signups are closed and all letters received.  Matching users right now and you should receive your match in the next few days

Update 2: 11/21/29 - All letters have been sent.  Send a PM to WildBil52 if you did not receive a letter or  if you have any questions

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST, PEOPLE MISS DETAILS EVERY YEAR AND IT LEADS TO QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO TRACK BITS OF INFO FROM A DOZEN OR SO PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T READ THE POST

If you were looking for Zagnorch's NOT So Secret Santa 2019, you can find it here:  http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=19215.0

It's Secret Santa time again! Here is how it works:

Step 1 Reply to this thread with something like "I'm in" and I will add your name to the list

The cutoff for signing up is Saturday, November 16th

Step 2 Send an email to rfgensanta@gmail.com The subject line should look EXACTLY like this:

User Name-Your Country-Country or Countries you are willing to ship to

EXAMPLE If I am in the USA and I am willing to ship to the USA and Canada:

Wildbil52-USA- Will Ship to USA, Canada

Copy and paste the text below for the body of your email and fill in the blanks:


Dear Santa
I’ve been a VERY ___________ boy/girl (choose one) this year, so I feel like I have earned all of the __________ that I will probably get for Christmas from all my family and friends.

But I also want video games.

If I could get just one box of video games and/or video game related items with a total combined value of at least $20 before shipping costs, I would hope that the box would have___________ in it.

And I would prefer that it didn’t have any __________ in it.

Since I am a responsible collector, my entire collection has been meticulously entered on rfgeneration.com (OR i is entered at this location: [link to your collection here]) so that you can see what I already have.  You can also check my RFGeneration wishlist to see what I really want more than anything in the whole wide __________.

Please remember to send out my domestic package by December 9th or my international package by December 1st so that I don’t receive my package late and have to resort to _________________ on Christmas morning.

Thank you, Santa!

Sincerely
(RFGen User Name)
(Real Name and Shipping address here)

A note on writing your letter


As far as your wishlist goes, Be as specific as you want or as general as you want just remember that the more options you give your Santa, the easier you will be to shop for.  Say things like:

I would like any NES carts not already in my collection

or

I would love to get some spare controllers for NES, SNES, Genesis, or Saturn.

or

I would really like to get any of the following SNES games: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, etc.

Add as much room as you need, you don't have to say what you would like to get in just a few words.

Step 3

Once your package arrives, or on Christmas morning, post pics of your Secret Santa package here (and in Small Scores if you like)

The MINIMUM value of the items you must send to your Secret Santa is $20. You may give more if you choose, but $20 is the minimum. There have been issues in years past with people feeling a little short changed so if you are unsure about what you are sending, give a little more, after all, it’s Christmas!

Due to the scams of years past, The RFGen Secret Santa 2019 is available to established RFGen members OR to anyone who has an established member vouch for them.  If you are unsure if you are an established member, shoot me a PM.

Yeah, I'm a little late in getting mine out as well, but it shipped today. I received mine from Santa a few days ago, so it came early. I'm torn as to whether or not to open it now, or wait until Christmas day...

Images are being strange so I'm not sure this will post correctly, but my SS box came in!
Thanks so much, I know it can be tough hunting.  If the pic doesn't work we got Lego Star Wars II for PSP, Cate West: The Vanishing Files for DS, Sonic Unleashed and Bard's Tale for PS2, and my favorite, an awesome custom Glitch Corp Castlevania NES controller that is totally going to be my main from now on.

Thanks a ton Santa! :)

Believe it or not, that's what I kept trying but in the preview it would revert to something else. My phone and imgur are not talking to each other very well. Tried just copying the image address directly and it seemed to get different results from the same process.

Anyway, appreciate the help :)

I've listened through the album a couple of times while driving, and I feel like Healing Waters of the Tigris is one of the standout tracks. That is definitely an epic solo! I've mostly only heard Marty Friedman through Megadeth and a little of his Cacophony stuff years ago, but his style is so distinctive that it's very easy to recognize.

He's one of my favorite players. Love his Cacophony stuff as well and his new instrumental stuff is pretty great.

Just a reminder to PLEASE record a video when you open your gift.  The community really enjoys them and it makes the whole Secret Santa a lot more fun when we can see the joy on your faces.

Been loving the videos so far this year.  Someone should gather then into one vid on the RFGen YouTube Page...

Thanks! I've been eagerly awaiting my gift, and Santa didn't disappoint. (Even though I probably didn't make myself the easiest to buy for)

You're very welcome! Was dealing with some stuff and wasn't able to get to the guides early enough to ship back out on time.

I went looking for Mario Golf at a local chain. They told me another store would have it on hold. Showed up, looked around a bit, saw Sky Kid in the case.

Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure if you saw yet, but there's a little extra in the Mario Golf case...

Glad you like your gifts, Crabby! I figured you'd dig that Mega Man figure, and I was really hoping you didn't already have one, so I'm glad that you like it.

Got some really awesome stuff from my Secret Santa this year! Shawn had talked about The Girl and the Robot on a previous show and it's a game I really wanted to try out. Awesome Mega Man variant for GB, and a Corecast shirt!  Thanks Racer Santa!

Another Core-cast shirt! Now I know where that other sale came from  :slick:

Ok here's my unboxing video.  When I added the games to my collection, i found out that I had received a Snowboard Kids manual from my secret Santa back in 2016.  So now if i get the box from Santa next year i can complete the whole set from Santa.

Nice! It wasn't easy finding N64 or Zelda games you didn't already own, but I hope you like what I picked out. Happy holidays!

No kidding, a lot of VB love!  I should go for that one next?  I think I only need 8 or 9 games for it.

sorry my video is a little late, guys, my wife took it in a weird format and as a video editing novice it took me some time to figure out how to edit it in Vegas.

AMAZING gift from my SS

I was so excite for my gift, I got them in my collection on RFGen and put them up, forgetting to take a picture. This, I believe is everything, if I missed something let me know, I dont want to short change my awesome gift.[img width=687 height=467]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200110/e388de7ca17c059dfea1ec04f8015446.jpg[/img]
