Lmao ham, you went in on a secret santa for fun but don't like asking for things and when you do they are expensive or hard to find because you are picky? lolol

Fun and games and its only October I am glad I can sit and watch this one play out this time around haha

think you did the wise thing!

Sounds like someone needs to hit the lottery before Christmas this year.

Who, my Santa?

Me and your Santa both.

Like Joe said it's only a bit of fun, just new to this as aint done it before :nailbiting:

Me and you both, this is my first too. I think its going to be a blast either way.

I have been pretty good this year Santa so could I have a MOC of some sort? C-7 or better if possible, but I am not picky.
Not sure about $$$ but a Trilogo At-At Driver, Trilogo Tie Fighter Pilot or really any vintage Trilogo MOC you wish to send would be awesome!

Ok so seriously now If I'm a good ickle boy I want Santa to bring me minty loose Scouty's preferably the Macau one as don't have that one No mini rigs as not my cup of tea. Argh this is hard as I'm quite picky and dont wanna sound ungrateful but like my sis said to me many years ago, whats the point in getting something for someone if they're not gonna like it and then it's gonna be tucked away out of site.

So anything Scouty related would be a safe bet I guess. Don't feel right asking for this as never really ask for anything at Xmas, just feel rude!

LOL Ham i would probably consider the Macu Bikerscout pretty far out of the budget bro the last one (about C7ish) sold for around 100$ - 150$ within 5 mintues of it been listed its one of the pretty hard to find variants and i know at least 8 people desperate to land one and only 1 or 2 come up per year.

The best way to think if Secret Santa is just a bit of fun and comrade between fellow vintage collectors whats its not is a platform to try and get someone to hunt down find that rare / hard to find item thats been eluding you.

This is to be seen as a little extra at Xmas i.e something vintage (or vintage related) to open on Xmas day that was sent to you by one of your fellow bros Its more about the thought and the time taken to get you something rather than the value / desriability of the item itself.

Its worth noting theres a good chance your secret santa could live in a different country so you need to factor in the postage costs as well as items need to be sent tracked so we dont end up like previous secret santas on other forums where individuals didnt recieved anything after buying for others thats a situation thats stinks big time and we dont want it to happen here

Oh and dont worry about been rude lol as a figure focus collector you should be easy to buy for Ham as all your santa should need to do is find you something bikerscout related Yes you may own the same figure or even MOC but as Jimmy said once you can never have enough Scouts

I once had a secret santa a few years back who listed 3 very hard to find items as his choices i spent months trying to track them down once i finally found one of them only to see its final sale price come out at over triple what the set budget was (i was prepared to go double but just couldnt afford / justify going any further). In the end i picked them up a very nice MOC (unrelated to the original list as i was running out of time) that still came out at near double the budget but i felt guilty that i couldnt source his listed requests. If im honest the amount of time i invested (im talking months of endless searching) trying to track the rare items they listed really put me off every doing a secret santa again Xmas is a busy time of year and it became an extra stress that i didnt need.

I have since took part in other secret santas and thankfully had to buy for people who had put together an easy to find / extensive list of items that were in budget and its made the whole experience much more enjoyble as a SS Buyer which is why im gonna take part again this year

Cheers Jay

So Jay are you saying I should reconsider putting a MOC Ledy Boba Fett on my TIG Santa list???

lol, sorry dude forgot on the price of them. still see them as a loose variant Me bad!

OK I'm only missing Christian's & Hansole's(Michael) wish lists: BUT Santa needs to be reminded of your address' so please PM me with your details- Thanks

Dear TIG Santa

I would like an (ungraded) MOC C7 condition upwards is fine (no missing pop or bubble cracks though lol) bubble needs to be clear (yes i know its OCD). I would be happy with any figure except Klaatu and Klaatu Skiff also any cardback issue

To add in relation to the $50 Max budget many Tri Logos can be picked up easily in C7 - C8 Condition with clear bubble for $30- $40 so its should be easy to find something in budget

Just to try my luck lol a clear bubble ROTJ Leia Boussh MOC would blow me away (is the last 2010 item from my want list) but that may not be possible (unless your a savvy buyer the last which was a Palitoy 65 back went for £35ish)

Cheers Jay

Dear Santa,

Apologies for the late arrival of my wish list. I would be very grateful to receive any of the following:

1. 19 year old heavy breasted pot smoking bonus-earning female derivatives trader with a penchant for risky outdoor sex

failing that...

2. Vintage (non-repro) vehicle sticker sheet (most needed other than AT-AT, MF, Y-Wing, Tie Interceptor, Landspeeder, Rebel Transport & Mini-rigs)
3. An error MOC - anything would be great - miscard - wrong weapon - paint missing.
4. Doll stands for my 12" figures These things!
5. One of the spray operations error figures I am missing: Here's a list of the ones I need
6. Anything vintage Harbert (Italian) - cardback? paperwork?

However, my most wanted item by far would be a 'Premium Offer of Collector Stand' Mailaway Coupon/Paperwork from the Early Bird Set - you can see one on my avatar (bottom RHC). I would love you forever Santa if you could find one!!!


Cheers,
Christian
