The conkers bad fur day image just mainlined nostalgia into my veins. Time to bust out the N64 😄 @TorterraSimp nails it again!

Super cool gift with nice personal touches @lyleberr—and two craft things, at that! (I’d love to see the animation, but we’ll leave it to @gengarbrigade, as it is their gift to share or not share 🙂)

I bought 2 F4F statues from Conkers. That multiplayer was top notch!

I apologize for not posting this sooner, but my Secret Santa appeared last week and Im only now getting around to posting about it. My Santa this year was the great @DeekBoy and I’m so impressed by all of it!

I started off with his letter, may have spoiled myself a bit, but I always read these first.

 ![20260104_170914](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/b/3/b314f0ba01a136ec7aaaa38e1e0050e6ecd0d293.jpeg)

I love your daughter’s work, certsinly better than anything I could do! Also, the photo is amazing! Did you take it yourself? I havent gone hunting online yet to see anything about it. Its almost like a Yuka Morii piece!

 ![20260104_170927](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/8/0/80e3bdd269a0e5223ba7e3a68e6767646d2e1daa.jpeg)

Next, I was just blown away by this 3D printed Dragapult. It is so detailed! First 3D printed anything I have, so cool!!

 ![20260104_171613](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/7/a7bd5efc7aef2cdcbce639bc0489723ecc8615ec.jpeg)

After that was TWO whole stacks of FA trainers and some other cards as well. I love FA trainers, ESPECIALLY the team grunt cards. They are always so fun. My year last year wasnt so great and I ended up selling a large portion of my non-Greninja collection, including almost all my FA trainers I had in binders. The cards in these stacks are a lot of the ones I loved and let go. Thank you so much for these, it really has meant a lot to me.

 ![20260104_172001](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/84fdae2c9db12db0b6a8578a74e5dfa81f4e09f0.jpeg)  
 ![20260104_172214](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0db31c57bc01801c8b6d23f23775ef6525176bbd.jpeg)

The last package was clearly a slab, but Inwasnt expecting a 10! Friends In X are some of my absolute favorites, getting my hands on a Friends In Alola card is a bucket list goal.

 ![20260104_172314](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/3/a300353fe9bd6d94be3303c8d5525af8c4b8b7df.jpeg)

Last but certainly not least, some local meat rub! My wife was certainly the most excited about this! I will be using this a lot!

 ![20260104_171001](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/d/3/d39a974cb7f36698c8eae723117a395bc2f34801.jpeg)

All I can say, is thank you! Thank you so much! I have been pretty removed from the hobby since I lost my job last March. Things have been hard, but they are better now. New, better job now. Family is generally happier, and I am a lot healthier as well. Everything worked out so far, but it was a struggle. Starting the new year off with such a great gift really hit me hard.

I dont think I’ve quite realized how much I have missed E4 and all the great people here till exactly right now, writing this.

No worries on opening it late! I was nervous that I shipped it to the wrong house. Stoked that you love the FA cards I picked out. Some of my favorites for sure.

I did take the toy photo! It’s a huge passion of mine that I rarely get to do. He reminded me of the dilophosaurus after I took the picture

 ![IMG_2497](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/b/f/bf43d36324f84a36df5b95298f8ce558d831f27e.jpeg)

Hopefully the 3Dprint arrived in one piece. He was super fragile and broke when boxing him up so I had to repair him.

enjoy the meat rub! I put it on EVERYTHING!!!

glad to hear things are getting better for you! Happy new year and hope to see you around the fourums more!

Jesus my hand writing is bad. My apologies lol

I miss deekboy’s photos. They are fun. What a cool gift. Imagine being hunted down in the forest by a literal B2 stealth bomber fused with a freaking dragon! I’d just die on the spot from the fear itself before it ever got to me.

Awesome movie reference. I didn’t realize it. I just saw a cool photo with a neat composition. I actually keep a few house plants, and put little dinosaur figures in and around the pots so this was extra cool once I realized it was a Jurassic park reference!

Congrats on your cool gift jax.

this is a very cool idea! Lylberr really got creative and I’m glad we all get to enjoy the result. And well, what other pokemon were we expecting to see in the package? The cool part is, you could try your own hand at a little animation now too! Super fun. Super clever.

Card choices were good. Despite being not so popular due to historical poorly aged CGI, the new ex cards have a lot of hand drawn ones like this gengar, which look really good. And I love how they reach out of the frame.

That japanese gengar is also one of those cards that when you look at it, you realize its underrated. I’m a sucker for art like this. Gengar just has some fun cards in general.

Japanese card sleeves are so abundant too that almost anyone can find their favorite pokemon. Gengar has several. I suggest if you enjoy these ones Lyleberr sent you look at some more! Just be careful on buying as some people sell single sleeves to sleeve collectors!(I almost made that mistake once).

Really appreciate the comment!! I was heading him up and instantly thought about that scene. Its funny because last year’s photo also reminded me of JP.

I keep trying to write this, but the website keeps glitching on my phone…

Ive been away since 26/12, so i collected my present today from the one and only doge master himself @D3F14NC3

 ![IMG_7797](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/3/5365d08efd91470a7abab102ddd6114fe9e08009.jpeg)

First thing to mention, i was a very jealous person last year when @Sleepingfatboi got a 1/1 doge card, so im super happy to get one myself

 ![IMG_7795](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/0/8/08f0b093309d6def66c3d7dcbfa1d6e45ec81ff4.jpeg)

Now on to the present. First up were some kabuto/kabutops coins

 ![IMG_7794](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/4/c/4c261f53a5dc229fc863ce1821c7b5d297715737.jpeg)

And there was also some kabutops stickers and a carddass kabuto!

 ![IMG_7796](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/2/6/26eeb44bf61e29896cddc1b9b7d601c617bb27b4.jpeg)

A super cool painted kabuto card that would make the kabutoking jealous!

 ![IMG_7793](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/b/abfb07951a9e117f8127e0e037bbee64802cbcd9.jpeg)

And i also got this thing, which i have no idea what to call it, but its very cool, even has an aero on it @itsNateyyy

 ![IMG_7792](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/0/50c6e0021c1415976e25e4739e872ea0cd09ed1c.jpeg)

And finally, an overspray error kabutops card that i plan to grade to go with my other error card (does psa recognise this? Or do i need to go to cgc?

 ![IMG_7799](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/e/ae628ffdc9939ceb3072b4566800446564e5ba28.jpeg)

I’m glad your gift arrived safe and sound. I tried to find some unique items which I couldn’t see you already owned. I had a ton of fun finding gifts for you. I’d also like to give a shoutout to @bbobrob who helped me obtain that sticker sheet that has the Aerodactyl on it. I hope you had a great holidays @KabutopsMaster 😃
