The Official He-Man.org Secret Santa Thread 2011

[Judith]

Hello Secret Santas!

It’s that time of year again! The annual He-man.org Secret Santa Season kicks off today, October 20th 2011.

Eligible Santa’s have until November 3rd to sign up. So, in order to sign up, you must be a registered member who then sends me a PM with your real name and mailing address (which she will keep private and only share with your Secret Santa).

IMPORTANT: If you have signed up, but change your mind about participating, you have until November 3rd to PM me to remove your name from the list without being marked as a Bad Santa.
No new names will be accepted after November 3rd.

In order to sign up:
1.) You must have been a member of He-man.org for at least 1 year (your signup date must be on or before October 20th, 2010).
2.) If you have not participated in the He-man.org Secret Santa in the past, you will need to have another He-man.org member PM me to vouch for your reputation. This needs to be someone with who you have done a successful trade or sale.

After you send me your PM, you may also post a wish list in this thread as a purchasing suggestion for your Secret Santa. Do not be offended if your Secret Santa gift is not from your wish list as there's no guarantee you'll receive what you asked for. Also, please ask for generalities. For instance, you like Star Wars or LEGO, do not list specific items as this puts pressure on the Santa to find and deliver them. Instead, just say Star Wars or LEGO. If you are looking for specific items to fill out your collection, that’s what the Marketplace forum is for.

On November 6th, another board member’s name will be randomly selected and sent to you in a PM, along with their shipping address. Be sure to keep that info a secret and not tell the user you are buying them a gift! Otherwise, it won't be Secret Santa! Sorry no special requests to purchase for specific users will be granted. Also, by signing up you agree that you may have to ship your gift internationally.

Gifts sent within the United Statues will have until December 9th to buy and send your package to your recipient! International gifts will need to be sent by November 25th to ensure a Christmas delivery. As an example, if you live in the USA and need to ship your gift to Germany, you will need to send your gift by November 25th to ensure a Christmas delivery in Germany.

Fans shipping within the United States MUST use delivery confirmation, and they will need to send me a PM with that delivery confirmation number as proof of shipment by December 9th. International gifts must send a scan or photograph of their customs form to Judith@she-ravers.com by November 25th as proof of shipment. If postage confirmation is late or there is a failure to provide an active tracking number or scan of the customs form, it will result in you being listed on the Bad Santa list. Bad Santas are added to our Naughty List and will not be allowed to participate in any future Secret Santa gift exchanges!

Even if you get marked as a Bad Santa, you still need to get your gift out for this year's Secret Santa. The absolute final deadline is December 27th, 2011 for Bad Santas. If a Bad Santa missed that date as well, they will be banned from the He-man.org forums permanently! This is a new rule to ensure that everyone sends a gift. It’s not worth losing your membership over a free gift.

Please package ALL gifts securely to ensure they arrive intact and undamaged. Do not wrap the shipping box in gift paper! You can wrap the gift inside the box if you want, just NOT the actual box with which you use to ship the gift!

If your gift arrives late or not at all, but you followed all the correct steps, we'll address that when the time comes. Everyone should note gifts may be possibly lost by the postal system. This is a risk that everyone must face. A replacement gift will not be sent if a gift was lost in the mail.

The below list includes all of the Santa’s signed up for the 2011 He-man.org Secret Santa gift exchange.

*Santa names will appear in Black until shipping confirmation is received. Names will appear in Red once confirmation of shipping is received but their gift has yet to be received by the recipient. And finally, once the gift is received by the recipient the sender's name will appear in Green. When your gift arrives please post in this thread to inform your Santa the gift was received. But please don’t open the box with your gift until Christmas to keep with the spirit of Secret Santa!

Gifts should be between $10 and $20 USD before shipping. If you are only participating to receive a gift equal in value to what you sent, do not participate. This is about giving, not receiving. If we determine that you spent less than $10 USD before shipping, you will be placed on the Bad Santa list and not eligible to participate in the future He-man.org Secret Santas. If you spend more than $20 USD before shipping, please do not be upset if your Santa stayed within the $10-20 limit

Please do not sign up if you are unsure if you can participate. While we understand that the unforeseen does sometimes occur, you should be able to gauge at the present moment if you can complete your end of the exchange. Don’t plan on buying Secret Santa gifts with money you don’t have!

Any further questions or concerns may be addressed in the Secret Santa thread.

Thanks!
-Judith

You need someone to vouch for you or someone else?

[cyberv]

I'm glad to take part again. Always a pleasure to make someone's day. Of course, last year I almost gave someone the Toast Shield for Wun-darr as a gag. Ended up going with the axe of destruction and the space pirate set instead... I think that was probably a good call...

Don't forget, folks, that you CAN ask your giftee for SOME specifics by using Judith (or another designated member, whomever they might be) as a go-between (worked wonders last year for several of us).

Interests:

Manga (current titles collecting: Fullmetal Alchemist, Excel Saga, Rave Master)
GNs (mostly Marvel Essentials and DC Showcase)
Transformers bio books (the only ones I have are Beast Wars and the first Allspark Almanac)
Or gift cards are always cool (I'm generally much more into the giving than the getting. Just the way I am)

[bcrduke]

You need someone to vouch for you or someone else?

For me

I have to ask someone I've traded with recently! It shouldn't be too hard.

[Mye-Kah B]

Ah, it's that time again.

Count me In once again!

I will just post up a few ideas for what sort of things I like. I am going to stay away from being too particular.

Well For Starters I do collect MOTU. Thing is I get all the MOTUC figures from my sub so....

-Anything MOTU other than MOTUC stuff.
So basically anything MOTU related. Pens, Sheets, Pillows, Cards, Old Loose Vintage stuff. Whatever.

-Any NA Stuff.

-Any Horror, Dark, Gothic, Scary type stuff.
Halloween is my favorite Holliday, I probably collect more Halloween decorations than I do figures. So anything that would fit Halloween or Gothic is what I Love, Call me twisted!
Some Examples.
Halloween Decorations Type stuff, Shirts With Skulls Or Scary Stuff on them, Horror Movies, Gothic Looking Clothing or Acessories, Scary or Gothic Home Decor (Like they have at Spencers) Ect.

-Anything with Skulls.
I collect anything and I mean Anything with Skulls on it so anything is fair game.

Weird Oddball and Unusual Things.
People have givenme a few weird things over the years.
A Mini Guitar Made out of an Armadillo, A Shrunken Head (Wish I hadn't lost it) and a Neon Green Rabbits foot just to name a few.
I love to be surprised with weird stuff so if you stuble upon something, that works for me.

I Also Collect.
Transformers
Thundercats Classics ( Have not found Lion O or Tygra yet)
DCUC 2011 and on (Don't have anything from 2011 yet)
Movie based figures ( like the figures you find at TRU or FYE that are based on Movies, Teminator, Scream, Robocop ect.)
Wrestling Figures WWE Mattel, TNA Jakks, and Luchador Playmates.

Oh Yeah and I am a Musician and I like to hear other people's stuff. If I happen to get a fellow music person as my Santa, and I know there are a few on here, I would LOVE to just get a simple cdr of some of your stuff.

And if all else fails, JUST SURPRISE ME.
I am always ready for the big surprise.

And for sizing if it involves clothes, and XL or Xxl works.

I am glad you guys have it set up this way this time.
I was kinda bugged by the fact that you guys were probably blowing a lot of $$ to re-ship the stuff.

[Judith]

Thanks Mye-Kah B. I think Val just considered it his gift to the board.

[AdultCollector]

I always wanted to participate in this! Can someone please vouch for me so I can get in?

[Son of Keldor]

=)
