December 22nd is the last day for Express Mail from the USPS to get your gift to your person by Wed. December 24th by 3PM.  I know I just went through that today. So if it isnt out by December 22nd and you cant drive to where they are then they are probably be outta luck unless you overnight it.


UPDATE 4-12/19/14
According to the USPS website, TOMORROW SATURDAY DEC 20 is the last day to ship a package via Priority Mail for expected delivery by the 24th.  If you haven't shipped your package yet, please ship via Priority Mail by tomorrow.

UPDATE 3 12/3
If your match is in another country, you should have send your package out already.  If you haven't yet, please get it in the mail this week.  It should still get there in time, we just wanted enough of a buffer to avoid Christmas disappointment.

If you match is in your country, you should be finalizing your package and shipping it out no later than a week from today on Wednesday December 10th

UPDATE 2 11/20
All letters received.  Matches will be sent out by this evening.  If you don't see anything in your E-Mail inbox by tomorrow morning Friday 11/21, send me a PM (after you check your spam/junk folders;)

UPDATE 1
The cutoff for signing up is this Friday November 14th.  Santa plans to have everyone matched up by Saturday morning so that everyone has enough time to shop.


It's Secret Santa time again!  I had a lot of positive feedback about how we did the Secret Santa last year so we aren't changing anything.  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

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

Wildbil52-USA-USA, Canada

Copy and paste this text 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 10th 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 2013 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.



Participating Members

a bold member name signifies that Santa has received and reviewed your letter and no further action is necessary.  Please allow a few days from when you send your letter for your name to turn bold.

I like the rando pairings. It made things very surprising and fun.

Agreed!  I can't believe I haven't opened my package yet.  It's been 2-3 weeks!

I suppose, since I am posting pics tonight, I'll let everyone know what I got.  Don't be afraid to post your goodies, fellow early openers.

First off, this year's SS package was awesome!  I was smiling throughout and talking to myself like a crazy person.

Some Dennis Miller for 3DO
Two label variations of Athletic World for NES
Ghostbusters for 2600
Random toys, including an original construction set Transformer from 1984 and DK and Pac-Man goodies.

I'd be willing to bet that the football player goes with the Ghostbusters game. That is Touch Down Terror, from the Real Ghostbusters toy line.

I know I'm a hard one to buy for, but Russ did a great job! Found me a CB copy of Tetris 3D which I was missing for my Virtual Boy collection, made this awesome painting that took me and my son far longer than it should have to assemble (your instructions confused us, lol) and definitely my favorite part of the gift is this "Rock"'n Mega Man controller Smiley I'm anticipating it'll get a lot of use in 2015. Thanks so much Russ!!

My Secret Slackur Santa had a list that must have made his shopping much easier. What I wasn't expecting when I shook the box around a bit before opening it were these nice art books, with the Suikoden V one still being sealed!

My SS did a fantastic job.  All I asked for in my SS letter was CIB hockey games that I don't own.  He started off with an oldie but goodie

[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/UfYYX6p.jpg[/img]

Nice.  I had a copy of 2001 but I didn't bother entering it in the collection because the condition wasn't great.  Now I have a copy I can be proud of.  I was this happy:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/qC4tRqi.jpg[/img]

Next up, I got a copy of NHL 11 in VERY nice condition.  I have this one but not for the PS3.  Another pleasant surprise.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/2MCzdZh.jpg[/img]

Saved the best for last.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/4tPeXDi.jpg[/img]

Wait a minute...That looks like...

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/UnYml86.jpg[/img]

Yes, that's Patrice Bergeron... But that would mean...OMG!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/xhqLFjQ.jpg[/img]

NHL 15!  The brand newist NHL game there is!  And it's sealed!  I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.  Members of this site have a reputation for hitting things out of the park. 

I know it's supposed to be a secret but since I matched everyone up I know who sent this.  Have to think of something cool to send his way.  Another package showed up on Christmas day, that one will go in small scores.

You're welcome, Techie.  I was hoping you'd recognize the name, since I did completely forget about adding it somewhere for some stupid reason.  Tongue

Now, here's what my SS sent to me:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/Jeremy_Bosco/KIMG0014-2.jpg[/img]

That's 3 more steps closer to that licensed NES set I'm looking for, and now even if it isn't the "correct" color, my grey Game Boy Pocket now has a home to stay in. Smiley  Thanks so much for another awesome SS gift.
