I've seen DriveThru take about two, two and a half weeks on average. They do have a really good turnaround time, especially given the (good) quality.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
Also, here is my absolutely amazing secret Santa gift! Thank you, fellow goon, for the best board game I’ve ever gotten as a gift! Also for likely going above and beyond the price, which you totally didn’t have to. If you’d like, I’d be willing to donate the difference you paid above $30 to a charity of your choice.

Ok! After a brief SNAFU with miniaturemarket running out of the larger half of my gift, I have reordered the item they ran out of for my santee. I don't think there will be any problems with it arriving after the deadline, but I'll be on top of the tracking number once I get it to make sure my santee and leperflesh are kept up to date.

I have received my gift package! I'm going to open it a little closer to Christmas, so for now I stashed it in my secret stash of presents for family and friends. But just seeing my name on a package from across the continent is enough to make me giddy, so thanks, Santa!

If you feel like donating to a charity, go for it! But I just like to give (hopefully) good gifts =) Enjoy!

BTW Santee #1 gift #2 will be mailed tomorrow and I'm just waiting on one more item to arrive to mail out Santee #2's gifts.

And I got my first gift, yay!

Shiny packages!


Foreign language cards!


And the best gift of all, a Mantic item cunningly not ordered directly from Mantic! Now that's smart thinkin'


Thanks, COOL CORN!

Will be sending out my package this week, got it all together at last.

I got a box in the mail today!



It contained a nice selection of colored clay and some great monster manuals. The Catspector General seized Creatures Anathema for customs processing but I am hoping it will be released if I pay proper Fancy Feast bribes.

Thanks Pyrolocutus!

A package arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm planning on opening it up a little closer to Christmas, but I took a quick peek to make sure it was what it seemed like it is, and everything looks good. Pics will be posted then.

Thank you, Santa!

We do!

However, it's been going since Sunday and nobody has entered it. So you're welcome to jump in! But at the current rate, it's possible it won't fill.

My last gift for Santee #3 arrived yesterday, so all gifts have been deployed and should arrive by 12/8, per USPS; this is a final gift for Santee #1, and a box o' gifts for Santee #3. Please note I messed up which Santee was which in my previous post. Santee #2 is complete.

A package arrived today! It was, of course, thoroughly inspected before opening:



Inside were several weird games! Awesome! One of them seems to have gotten Rosemary's attention, though...



It's the Armageddon RPG, and it contains a secret message:



Thanks, clawed reaper Santa!

Hope you enjoy the weird game! Sorry about Sovereign Stone - your roommate told me you already had it but I couldn't return it. Having run Microscope I can tell you it's actually a good game, but the art in Armageddon can't be beat.

I had a busy weekend but I'm caught up on TGSS emails and posts. We're doing pretty well! So far only about 11 Santas haven't posted to say they've at least procured or shipped a gift; and 26 and two halfs gifts have been received. That's not bad for this point in the month, really. I'm proud of you guys. :)

I haven't been feeling well so no cool pics of my cool gifts yet, but I received some walking dead minis and some crazy playing cards in two packages, so I'm going to assume they're from my two remaining santas. Thanks santas!

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...
Grimey Drawer
Gift(s) procured, now I just need to prepare the package. Too bad all shops with package material close around the same time here, and too late for me to get anything today, which means I'll need an extra day to get the stuff I need after work tomorrow. If nothing else goes wrong (part of my gifts was a local specialty, which I made on Sunday, but it separated back into its constituents over night in the fridge, so that was embarrassing), I should be able to ship it during lunch on Wednesday.

Copies of Gatecrasher, Cyberspace, Undead (the Mayfair module), and Khaotic!!!

And the best of the best...a loving box copy of the mindhurting Christian RPG, Dragonraid. I am in awe.

EDIT: A fully complete boxed copy that even has the crystal d10 and gray d8!!!

Someone else, coincidentally, sent a really cool gift!

Airdrop has landed!


A foul xenos beast breaks open the armored casing, keen on destroying the materiel within!


But the might of an imperial armored squadron drives it away. (Or he got bored. Mostly that.)


A personal note from the magos responsible for these reinforcements:



I've been building up an armored company, and another modern russ to go with the 5 old style ones I bought recently is very appreciated! Battle cannon, lascannon, and two heavy bolters is a pretty good loadout, but somewhat lacking in variety! Thanks for the generous gift, Humbug Schoolbus!

In other news, my gifts appear to have landed, and hopefully have been received by my santee!

Grey felinid. Unfortunately I got home really late from work and had no natural light, so everything is super orange, even the corner of a pillow in one of the pictures, which I swear is white.
