So I got a package from the uk, while I did not order anything from the uk. I immediately thought that that must be my secret santa gift, and it was! Some wonderful gifts from @thurco
I have started to fall in love with plushies lately so that wailord will be put on display for sure! A Kusube skarmory for the Kusube binder and some new wailord, thanks a lot!
the secret wonders suicune is only the best suicune artwork out there, and with this reverse the secret wonders dogs are complete. This was the only card I missed from them, thanks a ton!
I guess I can definitely say I enjoyed the gifts, I wish you a very merry christmas as well Thurco! And everyone else as well of course, merry christmas!
Really hope you enjoyed opening it as much as I enjoyed putting it all together. Was a really fun and a great first time E4 secret santa experience. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family . Definitely stay warm from this lovely winter storm we are currently having
P.S. - also noticed the komiya magnemite has a bit more black ink on its name compared to the other reverses I looked at. Just a little fun tip
Huuuge thank you to @vic for being my Secret Santa this year! I got a box about four days ago and waited till Christmas Eve to open it and was blown away by the gifts.
The Umbreon and Espeon Plush look great on my shelf along with the Absol Plush from @shockerb37 that I got during last years Secret Santa! They also look so much better than that derpy Umbreon plush above them.
The raw cards look great. I can never get enough of that Japanese Espeon! Love the choice of Flygon art for the signed card. Probably the best art for Flygon.
Lastly, I flinched when I saw the Umbreon and Espeon Primes. I actually sold my PSA copies during the hype for an inflated price and I never bought back. It’s like @vic knew that I needed a pair of these cards! Thank you so much for all the incredible gifts!
I’m surprised I had the patience to wait until Christmas, but my wife really encouraged me too. I’m glad I did, because it was a great morning to cap it off with my secret santa gift.
A huge thank you to @Gus for the amazing gifts! I had a ton of fun opening it, and I now know I need to step up my presentation game. Each gift being wrapped was a ton of fun to open! All of the cards, especially the promos and the Gengar model figure are awesome, and my wife already said she wants to be the one to put it together!
@codyto1999 Thank you for the amazing gifts. I’m a huge fan of old gaming magizines and flipping through this one was a huge wave of nostalgia because I remember reading this specific one when I was a kid. My daughter loves the pikachu too! The raichu picture is going to go up on the wall in the man cave.
Got my package from @bash2112 ! Love all the cards and the drawing, and this is my very first funko pop! My favorites are the Carddass cards and the Team Rocket Returns Dark Magneton, and who doesn’t love ripping a few packs too. Thank you!
Huge thanks to @mrpandachum for the amazing gift!! Seriously each item is so perfect and staying in the collection forever!
I actually don’t have any piplup psa 10’s yet so this will be the first one in that goal, and I still needed the blastoise for my nishida collection too! The wishmaker deck is probably my favorite one of the movie decks because of the altaria and flygon (and absol) specifically so it’s awesome to have graded copies now. I also actually needed the japanese CP5 celebi (only have it in english) too so i’m super happy you chose that one to include.
Thank you so much to my secret santa @Tapp! I so enjoyed your gift, card, and sketches! And now I have a signed card from the general of the torchic army himself
I started off with the card, which was very kind, and had amazing sketches on it! It included some of my favorites, Celebi, Arcanine, and Metapod.
Then onto the cards, which were some amazing promos! The first one was Celebi from the Pokepark promo set, which I have been meaning to start! Now I have the kick start needed. That was with an awesome ex era promo which I had never seen before! Love the artwork on it with the clock theme.
And finally wrapped it up with some amazing Plusle and Minun play promos, still sealed! I have had these two ln my watch list for months wanting to start the play promos. Now there’s no stopping it, play promo set is happening.
Thank you so much Tapp for the kind and thoughtful gift. This was already a fun year for me with Christmas and Hanukkah overlapping, but add on my first time participating in E4 SS and it’s really something special.
The deadline was just a few days ago, and some people are still waiting on a few late items to ship their gifts! With international and holiday shipping delays, we usually have gifts arriving until mid-late January. Nothing to be worried about if you haven’t received your gift yet!
Somehow I managed to wait until Christmas to open this, thank you so much @zards_r_us for the fantastic gift. It’s clear that you put a lot of thought into the things you sent me.
The first thing that caught my eye in your gift was the 10th Movie Commemoration Set. The artwork on these promos is stunning, with the Lugia being my favorite. I am thrilled to add these cards to my binder collection.
Both of the graded cards you included with your gift are wonderful! I had fun with the challenge you gave me of figuring out why the Pikachu received its grade. I adore the Family Magikarp, it is one that I don’t have and it is the perfect addition to my growing Magikarp collection.
I am a huge fan of your Snorlax drawing, it is excellent. This was such a great gift, thank you so much for your generosity. I will treasure these cards for the rest of my life.
I am continually amazed at how many incredible people this forum has managed to bring together through a shared interest. I am thankful to be a part of this community, Merry Christmas everyone!
I save it until christmas but I really should have dug in immediately after seeing what was included. Thank you @candle for the amazing gifts. Seeing the amazing drawing first was awesome, absolutely love it! The tail ornament was a nice touch.
Thank you for the amazing cards! The mareeps are immediately with my mareep collection and the archeops is one Ive had my eye on for a long time, so kind of you to send one as a gift.
Lastly, I was blown away by the assorted figures and pins that you included. I love them all and they go great in my really random stuff I like collection.
Merry Christmas y’all! Thanks so much to @oldskoolpokemon for my secret santa gift this year! He absolutely blew me away with his generosity and thoughtfulness! Absolutely perfect gifts!
I didn’t have this pika yet for my delta species collection so it was perfect! These are so hard to find in good condition so this copy is beautiful to say the least!
The two Darkrai slabs are absolutely beautiful and they bring me right back to opening packs when I was a kid. I never had any Japanese cards then and I’ve definitely been getting into them when I got back into the hobby. I love them!
Lastly got a few packs to crack open! Always a fun time! Thanks so much Nick! I really appreciate it! Also I love watching your videos and I have been for quite sometime now. So it was super cool to see OldSkoolPokemon on the label of the box! Merry Christmas!
. Definitely stay warm from this lovely winter storm we are currently having 
sorry getting antsy lol, merry christmas everyone
