Opened my secret santa package last night to find some absolutely amazing gifts! Absolutely love Umbreon and Espeon so seeing the Sun and Moon boxes were awesome. Huge thank you to @shockerb37 , for these amazing gifts!
Absolutely love the Absol plush! Absol is my favorite underrated pokemon. I used to play with these marbles all the time when I was a kid. I immediately showed my brothers after opening it and we reminisced about the times we played with them. And having a Mew on the bag makes it that much better!
The themed boxes were fantastic! I’m collecting the Sugimori Carddass, Vending 1 & 2, and VS Sets right now and was so happy to see cards I needed to complete them as well as my favorite pokemon. The Annie’s Espeon is definitely my favorite card here! For some reason that Vending Jynx just speaks to me even though I’ve never been a huge Jynx fan.
Lastly, I thought my secret santa was reading my mind somehow because I have been wanting to buy a Magma Vs Aqua Umbreon as it is one of my favorite Umbreon Cards that I didn’t have! And the signed Hitmontop was so cool because I sold @shockerb37 , a holo bleed one a little while back this year!
Again, thank you so much for these amazing gifts. They really made my Christmas. One last pic to show everything off. I hope everyone had a great Christmas this year!
I’m glad you liked it. I suck at drawing and even that took me forever lol. I wish I could have given you more but from what I could gather about you those seemed to be fitting gifts. I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Received my SS gift a couple weeks ago but waited until last night to open. Really want to say thank you so much to [mention]lhh [/mention]for the cards and the amazing drawing! Seriously, kudos to you for drawing with a pen and with so many details! If that was me, I definitely would’ve gone through so many iterations because I’d make so many mistakes
As for the cards, I have always wanted to collect the VS series set but never got around to it. The artworks are legendary and this may possibly kickstart me into finally working on the set!
Lastly, I really love the tag cards you included! That Sun and Moon Base artwork is everything, I just love how happy Dragonite looks and the holo bleed on the other is crazy sick! Great pieces to add to my PC!
Thanks again, [mention]lhh [/mention] ! Happy Holidays and stay safe!
Thank you so much to my first Secret Santa for a really awesome gift. I love all of it but especially the Blastoise Capsule Toy(1995) and the DPPT Posters. Killer.
I wanna thank @parkermrparker for this awesome Secret Santa all the way from British Columbia, CANADA!
I know how difficult it is to find stuff from the Neo era and you deff. triggered some nostalgia here so thank you!
The Pikachu and Charizard sticker are getting stuck to my desktop screen
Also this suicune drawing deserves the Art Academy card treatment for sure!
Thank you thank you and Merry Christmas all the way from Orlando, FL
Merry xmas all! And thank you to the person who sent me an ETB as secret santa, it’s much appreciated - I’ve never gotten one of these, so it’s really a ‘first time’ experience to have one!
Thank you for the cards! All of which I did not have yet! I had fun opening the ETB, didn’t pull anything noteworthy, but its still very fun to open cards all the same! Also, a mysterious note was included about something else, so I guess I’ll have to wait and see. Thank you for the gift @trainerjack !
Big thanks to @xianahru for this great Christmas present!
A little background here: Despite being on the forum for 3 and a half years, and a little longer on the discord… I still don’t qualify for Secret Santa! My own fault, I’m rather forum-shy, and prefer the discord as my pokemon home
But I wanted to join in the spirit of things, so I hope I’m allowed to post this here, but myself and Xianahru decided we’d send each other gifts in the same spirit as E4’s SS and do our little bit to spread some Christmas cheer for each other.
Soo happy to have done this, even though I’ve been slow on my end -Sorry Xianahru!- but thanks again for the cards, the treats, the custom treecko artwork, which is soo stunning! And of course, thank you for all the marzipan, which I promptly munched through
I feel like I’ve gained another friend in the community through this activity, which after all is what it’s all about
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the UK everyone, this year’s participation looks great and warms the heart.
My secret santa package arrived in the mail today from @thatpikachuguy and it was fantastic! That you so much thatpikachuguy, I loved every part of it!
I’ve never seen these before, but thought they were pretty neat, Seel & Dewgong “pixel pins” from the Pokemon Center. Along with that a signed card (which definitely will find a spot in my binder) and the Gen 1 First Partner Pack!
Last but certainly not least was the stack of Seel & Dewgong cards. I’m working on a 100% set for each of them, and these will definitely come in helpful. There quite a few new ones for my collection in here. I especially like the Firered & Leafgreen holos, they’re beautiful cards!
Thank you very much for an awesome gift thatpikachuguy!!! I couldn’t have asked for a cooler present!
I’d also like to thank the mods who took the time to arrange e4 Secret Santa this year, it’s always such a treat to participate. Hope everyone has a lovely holiday season!
I came home last night to find a package I didn’t remember ordering. It was my secret Santa gift from [mention]vic [/mention] and he did an AMAZING job! I absolutely loved everything
He sent two graded cards. The flygon is a card I remember getting from my childhood and I’ve been hunting for in a high grade. I honestly can’t believe he included in in my gift. It is my absolute favorite in my collection now!! The salamence is another perfect pick!! It goes great with my delta species collection as I did not have it yet.
And lastly he included an amazing art work of flygon! The salamence, dragonite and tyranitar on the card were an awesome touch as well! I loved everything! Thanks again Vic!!
@binx345 Thank you so much! Binx hooked me up with so many things, tons of cards and packs, but these were definitely my favorite part! The shirt is really nice, a great Pokemon Center exclusive. I gotta say, Cynthia had a hell of a team. The custom art is really cool too, I love how gible is peeking around the corner of the door catching santa. (I cannot figure out how to add images unfortunately so here is a link for now)
Glad you liked it mrtz-NY! Garchomp, swampert and rayquaza are tricky pokemon to find merch and Im really glad the shirt fit! The art is happening in middle of the night, so little gible is being naughty by peeking! The candy/dice dish was from an ichiban kuji I did. Which is Japanese lottery where you buy a ticket and open the ticket, and get a prize. A few rare shops in the US and other non Japan countries do them. Kinda like a gashapon or blind box. The candy/dice dish was also a blind box item. To my own santa, I hope to get photos of everything up soon. In the meantime, Thanks so much for the gifts!
and the holo bleed on the other is crazy sick! Great pieces to add to my PC!
