Secret Santa 2016 - Closed - Let me know if your gift has arrived!

Thing is, when we started this years ago- you could get vintage for £25.

2 years ago I thought paying £22 for a complete today and £30 for a complete Leia was a stretch. You can only get a Ewok drum now under £25.

Do you, or anyone else, think we should increase the budget?
If so what to? £30 all in? £35? Or is that getting a bit high?

Let me know please boys and girls
 
I think £35 is fine and puts you in the beater Moc range which many will put on their wish list. Alas £20 can barely buy you a figure these days.
 
Last year I did not inc postage in the price. I was thinking is £25 not ok if it is not inc postage. I know the rules say £25 (again), inc postage
but why just not change it to the gift should cost about £25 and how much money you will use for the mail is up to the the guy who is mailing the gift.

If I should mail as a packet from denmark to some of you guys in the uk then there would be no money for a gift. So I would do as I did last year. Try to find a gift for £25 and then just mail it.

But increase the budget sounds fine to me, but as I write if you only use the £25 for the gift and do not use the that money on the mail then we have some extra money.

I know some will have to use more money for mail because some live far away and some packets are more heavy than others. But why should this guys have cheaper gifts because all the money or most of the money is used on the post office :?
 
The good boys and girls list has been updated and PMs have been sent about increasing the budget slightly. The messages have been sent in batches - please respond individually rather than reply all with any concerns, thoughts etc

Merry October

Santa :p
 
Also registration closes on Saturday 15th October for anyone wishing to join in the fun with the proposal for the gift to be £30 plus P&P
 
No complaints received so the present cost has gone to £30 plus postage for this year and we'll see how it goes - incidentally there are just five days left in which to register

Santa could I get either: £30 worth of beaters for my daughter. Any paint condition and loose limbs not a problem. Nice to have clothing accessories and no limbs missing but guns and weapons not needed.

Beaters needed as follows.

Leia Organa
Ben Kenobi
R2 Solid
3PO Solid
Han Solo
r5d4
jawa
dsc
hammerhead
gonk
red snag
blue snag - LOL
Gonk - PD
greedo
walrusman

ig88
yoda
zuckuss
CCP
Biker Scout
rancor keeper
8D8
All Last 17 except Paploo and Lumat.

She got quite a few of the common ships and playsets. Once again parts missing not an issue.

Needs :

Jabba + Throne. Missing bowl & pipe etc fine.
Any TIE Fighter. Glued wings fine.

Although If you manage to locate any foreign Panini ROTJ sticker album in displayable condition for £30, I will buy her £30s worth of beaters myself. :D

The beaters are fine and she'll be delighted just to get a mystery present.

Cheers

Santa
 
I think my vintage wants have all jumped over the £30 mark but if you can find them any of the following

Palitoy ESB boxed MTV7, VME, radar laser canon or any boxed ROTJ Palitoy minirig.

Boxed Hoth Wampa cave micro collection

A loose die cast x wing with good paint

A modern vintage style three pack with Han Hoth - or any modern 3 3/4' modern Han Hoth other than the vintage collection one

Any oddball items

Thank you santa!
