RFGeneration Secret Santa 2014!!!!!!!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

A very large box arrived at the house from NC, with both my wife's name and my name on it - which surprised me, since this person didn't have my wife as his Secret Santa. It was then I realized that her Secret Santa likely piggybacked another deal and shipped it to a certain banana to combine shipping costs...

My suspicions were confirmed when I opened the box on Christmas:

Thanks for the sentiments guys.

Now, how does this go again? You start with a magic box, right?

...and then you open it? Hmm, mine seems bigger on the inside:

'Lo and behold, Skylanders! This plugs in quite a few holes in our collection, and lets me get back on the Trap Team train since I had been missing quite a few elemental masters:

Thanks again guys! Greatly appreciated, and put a smile on my wife's face despite everything that happened that night with our roommate ending up in the ICU.   (She's doing okay now, but still in recovery).

Hope you enjoy Four Swords Wempster. Second time we've gotten you in 3 years, so I'm holding on to more Zelda stuff that you don't own - I'm running out though! Everyone wants Zelda...

Finally had a spare minute after the busy holiday to post my SS stuff.

All I asked for from my Secret Santa (who shall remain secret) was Quartet for the SMS and random artsy stuff, and they delivered!  The Atari carts were converted into Christmas ornaments.  Pretty fancy!

Those Worms plushies are great!

[Fleach]

It looks like my Secret Santa had a very well hidden special surprise for me tucked all the way at the bottom of the box beneath tons of paper.

What could it be?

Hmmm... Another NES game.

Silent Service might be the least desirable NES cartridge. I've seen more of those than I have Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunts, RC Pro-Am, and Tennis

[Shadow Kisuragi]

It's a running joke on the site. There was a Craigslist posting a while back talking about how rare it was, and we ran with it.

Did you get a replacement Swarm amongst that lot?

Silent Service might be the least desirable NES cartridge.

BLASPHEMER!

Get thee behind me, Satan!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Nope, still haven't replaced my Swarm yet. Still pissed off that it shipped without a chip.

Finally got out a post on my RF Gen Christmas.  Check out my reaction to the Secret and Not-So-Secret Santas here:
