A few Cliff bars (snacktime!) honey roasted peanuts (more snacktime!) and chocolate covered berries
Dill Weed (great for making dips, works well on chicken too used correctly)
Seimitsu LS-33 (my first Seimitsu joystick, believe it or not). When El Guapo gets redone I may replace the JLW I currently have in there. Nice to have options
Leatherman Micra. Now I feel more manly. This goes on the keyring right now!
Animaniacs SNES game. I need to see if my brother still has his SNES (or see if I have the ROM). Either way, I’m a huge fan, so this is super cool
A lovely card, and most importantly, the Rowlf challenge has been answered for another year. Time to change the avi
Street Fighter Alpha CPS2 cart (and it’s still alive!)
Nice little JAMMA power supply (will be perfect for re-building my supergun!)
Kidrobot mini Fei Long (pretty neat!)
3D printed Rockman helmet with button installed in the top (Gummy said this was actually his way of salvaging a botched print, but I think it’s cool :D)
3D printed Rockman E-Tank (whee!)
3D printed Dreidel (Jewish spinning top action!)
A Gummods button keychain with Rockman insert (these button keychains are neat!)
Mini microswitch joystick (not sure what this is out of, but it’s cute :D)
Yugioh mini DVD (secret modder training video?)
Dick-to-Cool conversion kit (obligatory)
There was actually a nice hand-written note and another 3D printed E-Tank (about 2x the size of the other one) that got lost in my room somewhere
Here’s a close-up of the Megaman helmet with button installed:
Great thanks, Gummo-Santa! I didn’t think anyone would take seriously my request for CPS2 stuff

Fun fact: I found the yugioh cd in the empty box I used to ship the gifts in. I got the box from my girlfriend’s mother after helping her move. Noticed it under the folded box flaps and figured I’ll make it a super secret present.
I acquired that figure as a give-away at Otakon. Many of the vendors in the dealers room often give away items rather than pay for the return shipping of unsold product.
I have no idea who it was until now. I also got a cheap metal Katana for free that way too…
11 piece Dremel EZ Lock Cutting Kit . Note says “How did you NOT have an EZ-Lock?!?”. I used to own one, but lost it years ago. Love getting dremel gifts!
Saul Figure. Note says "Dual mod gone bad? Dremeled off more than you can chew? Better Call Saul! (coming soon to AMC). Loved the BB series. Might have to go out and buy the half face Gus Figure! Oh and sorry SS but the following day of receiving the gift Saul was standing too close to my soldering iron stand and accidentally left a burn mark on the top of his head.
Package of strawberry koala cookie thingies. Ive only ever had the chocolate one. These strawberry ones are amazing.
Bag of Shrimp Chips. I don’t know if this was a gag gift, but I don’t like seafood. Unfortunately I sliced through the bag with my box cutter as I was opening the box. I swear I didn’t mean to do it! I would of gave them away to a friend if I hadn’t. I did try one at least and so did my girlfriend but we both didn’t like them. They also smell really weird.
Board game of Arkham Horor. Note says “The game practically chose itself!!!” with an arrow drawn pointing to the words on the box “A Call of Cthulhu Boardgame”. Going to play it the next time my girlfriend and I go to my brother’s house for board game night!
Thanks Secret Santa for the gifts! Even though I cut one of them and burnt the other! Who would of thought it wasn’t the dremels fault!
Oh man, Arkham Horror is great! Read through the rules ahead of time: It’s complicated! But once you play a few times, it starts going pretty smoothly. Nice!
I’m so sorry everyone, im awful! I should be shipping my gifts in the next few days. This weekend has been insane, 650 miles driven, 2 tournaments entered, 1 capcom cup watched and a partridge in a pear tree… I’ve just not been home to actually organise it. gifts are all sorted tho, just have to find a suitable box and lots of bubble wrap!!!
The white buttons and balltop are EXACTLY what I need for the stick I need to finish, and the Neutrik is going to lend a whole lot of polish to my next stick. I’ve also been meaning to pick up a Dremel for ages, so this is perfect. Now I get to drive the girlfriend nuts buying ends. :3 GamerGloves are hilarious and I obviously will be many higher ranks at KI thanks to them, and the Lego boxes are perfect! I can’t wait to fidget with 'em.
Obviously it is now my goal to get everyone to use the new, Moonchilde Unknown-inspired “Cooler” low-position joystick. I really sense some potential here! Thanks so much dude! The PM about the Dremel tipped your hand, but you’ve blown me away. Now I feel bad I only sent my Santee so little! Next year I’ll have to do better.
I got my SS gifts today! Yay! It was really two gifts in one because some delicious smelling BBQ sauce broken in transit basting the box and everything inside Unfortunately, I don’t know who to thank because there was no indication of who it was except they are from an Army town in TX. Pictures coming
Back from a loooooong shift down south to find…a package from Phoenix, AZ!
Got some work to do first, but will open and document shortly!
Thanks SS! Haven’t opened it yet, but it’s already something nice to come home to after a tough week!
DOH it was from me… did the sauce not stay in the bag? I put the bbq sauce inside a ziplock bag so that if it did break it wouldnt go everywhere… Im sorry dude… hopefully the other stuff wasnt ruined. They must have really fucked with the box because I put a bunch of bubble wrap and everything else in there.
Its all good @TRiXWoN - I got what I wanted… the SS to fess up Thanks a bunch dude! The gifts were perfect. The sauce, as you will see soon… all over the place. It smelled delicious. Never wanted to eat an amazon box before tonight!
