@poken00b88, I am glad you enjoyed :blush: and sorry, the postal worker told me I needed full name and amount for the customs form, which triggered a mini panic. Happy new year!

Hi everyone!

first of all to @fivesetgo, I’m so glad you liked my gift, this year has been so challenging and I really tried to get the best out of this gift, the way I would like to receive so I tried to give.

I really appreciate your appreciation.

Thank you.

And secondly to @genosha
Like I said, this year has been so challenging for me (and for all of us lol) that your gift is the icing on the cake.

It has a thought, interest and cards that I really like!

And the painting !!! He’s amazing to me

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it

And to the whole community

This thing amazes me over and over again, it’s only the second time I’m participating, but I watched from the side and it’s just fun to be a part of it.

Thank you .

Incredibly thankful for my secret Santa gift that arrived safely today. So many awesome items and the binder has a ton of togepi’s from each set along with an expedition charizard!

Togepi is my favorite pokemon so seeing this I am blown away by how generous and well thought out this gift was.

Thank you very much beyond happy and thank you to everyone here on E4 for helping to make such an amazing community thrive.

@zaishen I am so glad it arrived safely!! I’m sorry it arrived after Christmas, but I hope you had a wonderful holiday! This was so much fun to participate in.

@imakuni I am glad it all arrived safely. Tracking info said (actually still does) it was received and in-transit at the same time.

@originalera Your package arrived last weekend but really didn’t get to post until today. You really did some searching on the forums otherwise the Trubbish would never had shown up. And it is also kinda a Shiny Trubbish! Looking at the photos right now, my desk is a mess which really takes away from the gifts!


I actually did not had the Ditto Bulbasaur so that filled an empty spot in the binder right away. I couldn’t believe I didn’t own the card yet while I have the Japanese Ditto-Bulbasaur on several watch lists, guess I have to pull the trigger on that now too. The boosters were cool, but a dud. Didn’t open Rebel Clash at all yet so had no clue what could be in it. At least got one THICC Wicke :grin:

I hope the chocolate taste as good as I think it will, but due to the holidays the stack of chocolate bars became quiet big so might take till next month before I dive into them :grin:

Not to derail but more s an aside idea inspired by this in case anyone wants to take the reigns in a separate thread. I actively wonder if we could have a drawing/art contest for an E4 annual contest of some sort? Not sure what it would look like but I absolutely love the different variations of artwork people have come up with. Maybe have our own E4 card/sticker of the year type deal with a special stamp for different categories of artwork (that way it’s inclusive of all people on all different levels)?

There are some amazing gifts in this thread.

Something like that would be awesome! I believe someone on here made an e4 stamped magikarp but I don’t know who

Haha, I seem to have misplaced my markers, I could only find 3 or 4 colors when I made the drawing so I had to improvise a bit. Glad it arrived safely!

Ah, you’re thinking of PapaFrankGod’s custom card I believe. But I’ll stave off from talking about this so as not to derail.

A big thanks to @queendrifloon – they knocked it out of the park!

I’ve never opened a single pack of modern pokemon cards – until today! In the package was a bunch of Vivid Voltage, Darkness Ablaze, and a few other packs! I pack battled my housemate and lost every single time, lol. I think that’s a karmic hint to me about opening packs—but it sure was fun! :blush: If any of y’all play the online game, feel free to use the code cards!

Among the many packs, they also included a beautiful Charizard that they painted, a ā€˜Charizard Trapped in a Pipe’ card, which is an apt metaphor for my life, a Champion’s Path ETB Charizard V promo, and an awesome laminated Charizard artwork print from an artist in France!

Thank you so much, @queendrifloon !

@hypernova I’m so glad you enjoyed the gift! Wish you had gotten more exciting pulls, guess I didn’t bless them hard enough :sweat_smile: The artwork from France took ages to arrive, but if you like it then it was well worth the wait!
Happy belated holidays! :christmas_tree::star2:

My Secret Santa arrived! I was surprised when I opened it because I was expecting something in a decently big box. I realized it was my secret santa when I started pulling out sitting cuties!!

I said I wanted Gen 2 stuff, and @e2d2 delivered! Three sitting cuties!!! I love the starters, and will have to pick up a typhlosion to finish the trio :blush:. Next a sealed japanese neo file! A cosmos holo starter blister! I’ve seen these but have put off picking them up! Then the chikorita deck card is so cute, I didn’t even know it existed until today! I know you said you weren’t the best artist, but I think you did a great job on the typhlosion! The wreath was a great touch

Here is a picture with the sitting cuties I have already! Thank you so much, it was such a fantastic gift! Thanks for all of the thought and effort!

Also, I will update this when I open the blister! I didn’t have the time now, but im going to do it sometime later!

EDIT: I pulled an umbreon gx! Very fitting haha

@rybatony Yay! So glad you enjoyed everything! And I’m really happy I could contribute some new items to an already amazing collection! :relaxed:

Thank you @dizzylochs for the awesome gift!

I just love everything about it. From the beautiful drawing of a majestic Perrserker to the Feraligatr Scale World figure.
You were spot on since I didn’t have any of the cards already (probably our biggest fear every year haha).

So far I’ll keep the stickers sealed since I like how good it fits in that card saver and I like the artwork.

Thank you so much for the gifts, @dunsparce0p you nailed it! All the items i love were included, and you even get bonus points for finding a low grade japanese card with .5 qualifier… incredible… the drawing of pikachu is awesome, looks a lot like wb creator pikachu. The art board is a forever display item, and i want to collect more of them now. Thank you for everything… the mountain of tomokazu komiya cards will fit nicely in the komiya binder, the sticker will find a home to stick to soon too. Thanks!

@slippingjimmy Glad you like it, it was a pleasure! :grin: Haha that was indeed my fear, so I certainly tried to find some of the most obscure cards and items that included some of your favourites. I was happy to discover that Feraligatr promo, i’d never seen it before or anything like it. Glad it made it to you safely and hope the rest of your xmas was good too.
