If you;re interested in signing up make sure you actually, you know, sign up. Right now there's only two of us, which is fine I guess but it's sure going to ruin the surprise.

Don't tell me what to do!!!

I just did it. I will create a wishlist of expensive and hard to find stuff later. Also, I am in Canada and don't mind shipping to the states.

I have added stuff to my wishlist. Some of it is even affordable. I kind of swung for the fences with my wishlist though so don't be freaked out by the Batman PJ's.

I just noticed literally every other person is not in the United States. I changed my setting to agree to International--not sure how else this would work!

Unless you are sending a handmade batman of zur en arrh costume to your Santee Amazon is probably the cheaper and easier option. Also as much as I like sending personal handmade boxes for it, Amazon also makes sure your gift arrives while regular post overseas might not be as trustworthy.

I listed my stuff on wishlist in elfstar. If no-one can see it let me know. You can assume the 800 dollar lego deathstar is on there though (it isn't).

drat you keeners. Anyway I am waiting for next paycheck this week before I do anything, and I still don't know if that anything consists of going to second hand book shops and looking for out of print stuff or just going to Amazon. In other words my gift will probably be more dependent on how much time I have more than anything else, but don't worry, cool stuff will still be sent to my santee.

To my santee I will probably be sending out the package by the end of this week. Still need to add some finishing touches but I think I got most of the stuff I wanted to get. Maybe I will order some other stuff to pad it out. Or not. Anyway, it will be coming through snail mail so expect some snail mail in the future.

Update on my gift. Even though I got most of the stuff second hand (figured I can give more that way) I did order an awesome title new because it is an awesome title. Just waiting for it to arrive now and then I will send the gift out. That will probably be this Friday so you should get your gift next week.

Hey Santee. Your gift was just sent. The nice lady at the post office said it will take 10 days. So expect something in 10 days

I got home last night after having a bit of a family dinner, and what do I see waiting for me:



A big brown package with superhero stickers on it

Sweet! I am intrigued. Time to see what is inside



Okay, clearly someone sent me the wrong gift, or a gag gift or something. I mean I have watched Paw Patrol with my wife's nephews but I am hardly what you would call a fan of the show. Is this a joke gift? Did someone accidentally send me a gift thinking I was secretly a 5 year old boy?

Nope!



Clearly my Santa knows I am not a 5 year old but a mid-30's man instead. Instead of being flooded with Paw Patrol gifts that I would have to repackage and give to my wife's nephews, I received Fantastic Four Volume 1 by Hickman, a sweet Spiderman snapback (that my wife asked me "why the hell did you put that on your wishlist"....if she only knew), and Stan Lee swag. The Lee swag kind of took me back because I can honestly say that I would never expect Stan Lee swag ever, but know the Stan Lee pin is on my backpack along with a whole bunch of other pins, and the Stan Lee sodaz figure is chilling on my work desk with beach time Homer, Alex Burrows and surfing Batman.

Thank you Santa goon for some awesome gifts.

NB: not pictured is the digital copy of Mr Miracle by Kirby. I am getting more into reading digital comics now that I have a tablet and am looking forward to plunging into that one.
