We at ISY are starting a 2014 Secret Santa Christmas Exchange!


What we ask of you is to reply to this thread with your username and say "I'm in" for this and include your primary email address. Tip: use _at_ instead of the @ symbol, to prevent your e-mail from being picked up by spambots, malwarebots, spywarebots, Autobots, or any other kind of bot.


Since we have quite the international community here at the Yards, also state your country and if you're willing to cover international shipping costs. We're mainly referring to intercontinental shipping, such as USA -> Europe, Europe ->  Australia, etc.


So, if you're in, reply in this thread like so:


I'm in (exclamation marks to emphasize your enthusiasm are allowed)
Username:
E-mail:
Country:


This is a general Secret Santa Exchange. While ISY is pretty customizing orientated, we want everyone to be able to participate. This means you are allowed to create a custom (or pick one that's already finished), but you can also choose to buy a nice gift for your recipient. It's up to you.


Participation is open for every active ISY member, provided you have been a registered forum member prior to September 1, 2014. We do not want to risk anyone signing up for this just to get a free gift from another forum member and not fulfill their end of the deal.


If interested, please email me (Mr. Black) a PM with the following information:


Subject - Secret Santa 2014
Username
Your Real Name
Your Mailing Address
A short wish list
Int'l shipping: yes/no

About the wish list: this is optional. You can name up to three subjects you like and also name those you don't like.


Example:
I like Jedi Knights, Jawas, Imperials
I don't like astromechs, Gungans, CW Animated style


Anything goes, but only Tamer can ask for a scratch built 6" scale All Terrain Armoured Transport


Then in early October, 2014, you will be contacted via PM with the information of another ISY forum member who is also participating. You will make or buy a gift for that person and mail it to them in time for Christmas. Please email me a PM with confirmation of shipping (i.e. the date when you have shipped your gift).


To all, please remain patient, even if your gift hasn't arrived yet by the time it's Christmas. Postal traffic is insane during the holidays and with international shipments added, its not unthinkable you'll receive your figure in January.


Remember, this is in the Holiday spirit, so remember not to look a given TaunTaun in the mouth (seriously, you don't ever want to do that. Ask Han). Be grateful, say something nice about your gift and show respect. And above all, have fun!


Thank you, and for those involved I will let everyone know who their "Secret Santa" is in early October.


Please note, the deadline to sign up will be 11:59 PM CST, September 30, 2014.

Sorry man, we're sure your intentions are good, but we need to set some boundaries. If we'd allow you to participate, we really can't exclude others who have registered post September 1st. Hope you understand.

Wow, we're already at seven participants, awesome!

Editorial note: I have moved the option of international (intercontinental) shipping to the private message. I have edited all of your messages by removing your preference from the public eye. I felt there was quite a bit of peer pressure if one'd rather not ship internationally. If you're not comfortable shipping internationally, that's just fine. Some of us have had one bad experience too many, so it's completely understandable.

[Mr. Black]

Kelcken, Ron, be sure to send me a pm with your addresses and such

I have a quick question. What happens if we buy an item for a member and that member already owns it? I would hate for that to happen and me personally I would feel bad.

Heh, if you'd buy me a Gentle Giant Royal Guard statue (which I already have), I won't complain

Seriously, how about contacting me once you know who you have to get a gift for? I could contact your recipient with what you have in mind and ask. Although that would spoil the surprise, of course.
