The Glyos Connection

If you're unfamiliar, this was an annual (and sometimes more frequent) event at our previous digs, where members of the community would submit their names, receive the name of a boardie in return, and send some holiday cheer in the form of Glyos gifts.

We got a late start this year, so let's keep it simple and play off of some old rules!



Interested board members, please PM me by 11:59 pm Eastern Time, December 15th with a current mailing address and "Secret Santa" in the subject line. The drawing for who will be gifting to who will happen before midnight on the following day. (Folks should also let me know if they are willing to ship internationally or not.)

Anyone who enters is asked to try and have their gifts mailed out by December 28th, if possible. This does mean that there's a chance that folks won't receive their gifts by a certain holiday of some renown, but there's nothing wrong with a little surprise after the fact.

Once we start receiving our gifts, please use this thread to post pics and celebrate the season!



To keep things simple for everyone, all I'll ask is that you try to keep the cost of your gift down to $20 or so. You can give customs, but keep in mind that this will be open to folks who want to give parts for an Accessory Set build or an older Traveler, too. Basically, give what you feel comfortable giving and try to be fair to your recipient, too!

I'll also be keeping track of things, so please let me know if you have any issues once we get to the gift swapping part itself. At the old place, we never really had more than one or two problems in the five years doing these swaps, and I hope that we can have an even better record here!

Hey there, everyone!

I tweaked the deadlines because, hey, we're getting a new drop on December 15th, and someone might want to use it for getting gifts! I've also tweaked the mail-by date accordingly, and even though it might mean that gifts might not arrive by the 25th, it might make it easier for some to get something together.

We still have time for more folks to sign up, so don't be shy!

Hey there, everyone!

All participants should now have a PM with their recipient's information. Remember to please try and have your gifts mailed out by December 28th, if not sooner!

Please feel free to use this thread to discuss, share, and otherwise hype the gifts you'll be giving!

Crap! how did i miss this thread.. i'll have to catch it next year. Have Fun everyone!

Pics or it didn't happen

Got a very special package today from Ken Goff. My Ankram obsession continues . . . Thank you so much!

Why no pictures ?

I'm hoping it's a combination of holiday shopping nightmares and people being busy. I put tracking on my secret santa and I know it arrived at its destination, but I haven't gotten mine in yet at all.

I need to check the tracking on my SS gift and see if it's been delivered.

I haven't received anything as of yet, so I'm assuming my SS shipped out last minute like I did.

Kranix has been the man around the forums since before I started collecting and he's a great guy on top of that!

Ambassador Kranix has a nice ring to it. Maybe something for a future Onell drop. Just saying.

Aww, guys! It's the community that's so awesome! Seriously, you guys are great! (Also, I'm, like, 99% certain that if there ever was an "Ambassador Kranix" figure, Hasbro would slap a C-a-D on it right away... )

Just a quick thing: if you have yet to receive your Secret Santa gift, please PM me right away! Similarly, if you haven't sent yours out yet, also PM me right away! I'm going to try and keep track from this point forward, just in case there are any issues. Thanks!

Got my stuff in!



This is actually my first experience with Weaponeers, so that's super awesome. Also, I love this card!

Thanks so much, Venenor! And Kranix, thanks for putting this all together for us!
