It's that time of year again. Our annual tradition of giving a bit of star wars joy at Christmas is just around the corner.

For those that don't know how the secret Santa works basically we get everyone to do a wish list confirming they are in for the exchange, the wish list is locked up after a certain time period, you are given the name of one person who is on the list to send them an anonymous gift. The gift sending limit is around $50.

I will make a separate wish list thread in the vintage chat section and link it in this post. For now please sign up in this thread and begin your wish list in the other one and I will send you a pm to get the address information. Please understand if you sign up, someone else will be getting you a gift so don't forget to get theirs. Also in order to be more efficient I think we can lock the wish list thread around October 15th, and that way hopefully all presents can be bought and shipped out by November 15th. This will allow adequate time for everyones gifts to make it around the world in time for Christmas.

**Not a requirement but part of the fun is sharing pics of your gifts here after we open them. We generally wait until Christmas Eve or Christmas day depending on your own tradition of when you open gifts.**

Here is the wishlist thread:
*To be created tomorrow*

***Please be vigilant that the item you buy for your fellow Tigger is not reproduction or paint touched up. Mistakes do happen, so you wont be hung if it is, but you might get a pretty good flogging. ***

*-----Usual pics will be added tomorrow, to hard to deal with on phone-----*

With the board being so low we will use this as a sign up and wishlist thread. If you want to take part please sign up and make a wishlist here by October 15th.

Going to message previous participants in the case any want to take place and may get a notification.

or vintage weapons, oddball stuff, anything vintage Star wars ( or even modern Ewoks ) Ewok movie DVDs. Thanks champ

Or maybe not so fit...




I am in as always! My wish list is below.

Dear Santa,

Instead of a lump of coal, I hope I haven't been that naughty, I would love to find any of these vintage goodies under the tree.

- Any Kenner U.S. mini rig, or creature with box, except dewback.  Doesn't have to be mint as long as they display well. No inserts  or other contents needed.

-The Kenner U.S. box for any vehicle, playset, creature, or mini rig except, Snowspeeder, Creature Cantina, AST-5, Speederbike, and Rancor. (Decent displayable condition please)

- Beater figures to populate my playsets and vehicles.  The more the merrier. Duplicates are fine.  They can be incomplete and condition doesn't matter at all as long they aren't broken.  Unless it's a one armed walrusman!  

- Kenner U.S. Instructions for any vehicle, playset, or mini rig, except Jabba playset

- Any Kenner U.S. Card back with POP and in displayable condition.

Here is my wish list.

I need the following

jawa gun x1
bespin/hoth leia gun x1
bespin Luke saber x2
Imperial tie fighter instructions
Jabba the Hutt dungeon instructions (ROTJ)

Few days left. Everyone generally enjoys being part of this if your on the fence and haven't done it before.

I got a new phone and it is incredibly hard to type on. I am gonna leave this open till wednesday when I can get to the desktop to send out mails.

All participants should have gotten a message from me today. As explained in the message you will get another in the next 24 hours with your childs name on it. At that time I will also ask for addresses. This is to keep it fair, as I will randomly draw names since we have participants from various countries.

All participants should have gotten a mail with their "child's" name on it. If you didn't receive yours let me know so I can send another.

Please try to have all gifts purchased and shipped by around November 15th so everyone can get them in time for Christmas. Addresses will be sent out as soon as I get all of the confirmations of them. Have fun shopping and a big thanks to all the participants.

Everyone should have their "child's" address now. If you didn't get it let me know so I can resend it. Please get wishlist in if you haven't done so.

Dear Santa

Please throw these down my chimney lol.

No Coo Squid Head, Bespin Luke
Taiwan Fett
Scar Coo Snow Trooper
Brown Snake Yoda

My super wish is a carded Squid Head

Thank you Santa

Worked in a late comer. Darthberizing is gonna be in the secret santa. His we ish list is:

Dear Santa

I'd love a donation made for any amount to either (or both) wonderful charities

National Marfans Foundation
Hope for Paws

sent message on the ones who haven't contacted yet to see about shipping. also please let me know when you receive your gifts. thanks.

My Secret Santa Gift arrived today! Surprisingly it made it through the post without even a tear to the wrapping paper.

Pretty sure I have gotten confirmation from all that they have shipped but not all have said they have recieved yet. Please let me know when items arrive so i can cross that off the list.

I have a package from GW acrylic that I did not order so safe to assume Santa has arrived

I just received a package with a Imperial Gunnery Sticker on it so I’m thinking Santa showed up!

I got mine, thanks Santa!

Due to my phone limitations I had to crop the donation for John's secret Santa a bit to remove the sender. He may guess who it is anyway, but this was the best I could do to help keep it a secret. The request was for a charity donation and the secret santa certainly fulfilled that with a nice donation as well as he sent a physical item to John also I believe.

Hope everyone enjoys their gifts and thanks for participating in the exchange. As usual it was a pleasure to be able to help TIG have another secret Santa exchange. I look forward to seeing what everyone got.

Thank you secret Santa for the much needed items!  Happy Holidays!

Santa thank you for the donation , plus a nice surprise for me!!

Thanks Bryan for putting this together!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Santa was very generous this year! Love the 49 p price sticker.

Thank you santa! Know it wasn't Star Wars and a bit off for the forum, but it did expand my small Nintendo Collection. Thank you very much



Now its just to figure out how to fit them in there


Edit: I've already tried both Marmite and Vegemite so not falling for that one my sisters boyfriend wants to try it, might come some good entertainment out of it
