I opened my care package finally, and much to my surprise here were the contents:   Awesome! The Schwalbe Graze will hopefully look awesome painted up and assembled, and those Raptors will slot in quite nicely in my Daemonkin army. I'm going to have my kids help me put the PVC together for the pipeline. Thanks so much, boom boom boom. This is fantastic.

NovaLion posted:Oh hey, you got it all at once! I had ordered you the Seraphs only at first, but MM said that they were a pre-order when I called about it not shipping very quickly. I didn't realize they had sent it out already! Happy Holidays! Thank you so much! This is seriously one of the most extravagant gifts I've ever received, let alone from a Secret Santa kind of thing. I didn't have any Akalis before, so now I'll have to build a new army around them. That was I can be fully Sikh

Woo! Thank you, TGSS. I actually got this stuff on Sunday but have been super busy until today. What might this be? The catte is uninterested.  A note sheds some light; I sympathize with my Secret Santa as I don't know what to get the Little Man either.  Two thoughtful choices for the future, though! That's Love Letter (which will probably not be played with the Childe until he's quite a bit older; gonna put that conversation off as long as I can) and Space Alert (which WILL be played with him sooner, I hear it's awesome!). In closing, we put on our wizard hat:  Thanks, Secret Santa, whoever you are!

Here's that list of aussie retailers, although it would appear it's no longer needed: https://www.thecombatcompany.com for a wide range of popular miniatures and some board games https://www.gamesempire.com.au for miniatures and board games https://www.thegamescapital.com.au for board games https://www.milsims.com.au for board games and minis https://www.goodgames.com.au for board games https://www.joedodgy.com.au for board games https://www.gamesparadies.com.au is a good store, but they're very slow to ship and even worse during holidays and sales, so not great for a lightning wave 4 venue https://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au is good for more general hobby stuff like model kits, some gundams, etc https://www.eurekamin.com.au has some eclectic minis lines, majority aimed at historical gaming

Dr. Clockwork posted:Cover blown! Kai_Tave please check your PMs ASAP because there has been a hiccup in your delivery. PM sent, sorry about the difficulties. I haven't heard anything from my other two Santas so I'm assuming that their gifts have actually made the delivery transit and simply need to be picked up out of the clusterfuck that my local postal situation has become. I'll be going and checking the office that mail is being routed to today and if I receive anything I'll be sure to update ASAP.

And if I have any sent, they may not have been moved from my local PO to the alternate one, or simply not arrived yet. Honestly it's a mess and though I didn't exactly cause the drat flooding, I'm nonetheless sorry about all this.

My gift was sent (to a distant land) the other day. Not sure how long it will take to get there, depends on the vagaries of the warp. I received my gift. It is awesome and ostentatious, a rare space marine captain festooned with eagles and skulls. I will be painting it up as a heresy Alpha Legionnaire (nevermind the fact that errant armor didn't exist then) very soon and will post images then. I'm not joking about the skulls on this thing. The sword: crusted with skulls, the cloak covered in them. Huge eagle shoulder pad. It's completely over the top and awesome, thank you secret santa. Edit: The bolter even has skulls on the magazine. THERE IS NO MODEL MORE GW THAN THIS.

Ack! Sorry Santas I haven't checked in with photos before now--tis the season to get slammed at work for me.  I timg-ed each of my photos, because there are so many--they aren't particularly big, but click to make bigger!MAIN ROUND SANTA: What's this? Gifts??  Gray cat, are you going to inspect these?? ...ok, thanks.  Sage advice.  What do you think, gray cat? Can we complain?? (No, we can't... 7 Wonders is great) Ohhh, mannn!!  Oh, nice! This looks like a game I'll love, Santa! Thanks!!   ...are you loving kidding me? That was on the floor for MAYBE five minutes!  The packaging continued to be loved the next day:  Thank you, Santa thegodofchuck!! I love 7 Wonders, and I'm always excited for a new game with a peaceful aesthetic!BONUS ROUND SANTA: You'll notice your gifts merited inspection by the far more lazy inspector... and he loved your choice of shipping container.   What do you think, yellow cat? Does it pass the sniff test? ...ok, thanks?   ...ok, this one passes inspection right out of the box!  No, there's nothing left for you to rub your face on, you jerk  Oh, nice!!  I didn't know this existed!! (And it doubly passed inspection, apparently?)  Thank you, bonus Santa!! Again, I'm a huge fan of 7 Wonders, so I can't wait to try out the new expansion, and a two player version sounds amazing!! Leperflesh: my main round gift has been sent! I sent you an email about the bonus round gift.

Cheers for the Imgur info guys, old-man NeoAnjou remembers back in the days where you used to have your own web-space to host images! It's nice you don't need to have an account or anything. So here everything is delightfully wrapped (gotta love the muppets wrapping paper):  And all unwrapped!  I apologise for the absence of any cats.

Leperflesh posted:Special Request: Board Game Shopper lets you price check most of Australia's stores. I usually shop from Games Empire, the prices are good and they're run by excellent people. (They're closed December 25-11 Jan so the goon might want to order fast?) If they don't have what you need: I've had good experiences with Good Games, OzGameShop, Mighty Ape, and Games Paradise, but price check first because they're usually more expensive and have different shipping rates. I've heard good things about Mind Games, Milsims and Advent Games but I haven't tried them. Everything except Mind Games is on Board Game Shopper.

Actually, there is one more thing to be anxious about : potatocubed, I'd appreciate it if you dropped a word on whether the trip to deli was successful, as those guys, while friendly, are a bit of a pain to coordinate poo poo with. Unsuccessful, I'm afraid. I showed the ticket to the girl on the counter and she was all "???". Is there someone specific there I could show it to?

Try asking for Mr. Michał (read: Mikhau, or Mikhal), who I presume is the owner, as he handled most of this stuff. You might try also just explaining you're that guy supposed to get a remote order from Poland.It'll probably be the best for your sanity to google their telephone number, ask for Mr. Michał, explain the poo poo, and then go to the place and ask for him again. They're apparently not the sharpest operation around. [edit] You should be ok pestering them over the weekend. Lichtenstein fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Dec 18, 2015 |

I just got a package from Mantic, so I assumed I was finally getting one of the many things that I need replaced because Mantic isn't all that swell about fulfilling their Kickstarters perfectly. The customs declaration said "Cards" so I thought oh, finally my AI deck for Deadzone, about time, I've only been promised it twice now. $32 is kind of a high declared value though. Hm, this isn't an AI deck at all? How'd they mess it up like this?! Oh! I bet this is from my Secret Santa! Thanks Secret Santa!

Oh, thank God, it finally arrived! I ordered this back in November, because I'm not a minis person and didn't know Mantic had a... reputation. Now I do. You're welcome! I saw you had an interest in unusual decks of cards/card games on Kickstarter, and when I found that on the Mantic page, I figured you might enjoy it. It can be used as a stand-alone game, a Tarot deck, or a standard card deck. I hope you enjoy it!
