I've got a concept in mind and parts for the gift. Just need time to make it.

On top of that the postalservice has been on strike since last friday. Hopefully it won't delay delivery too much.

You had me terrified until I saw your country.  (They can do that there?)

My shipment from eBay the Maelstrom only got sent to the post office TODAY, so I won't get it until Saturday at the earliest.  (USPS running on Friday, anyone know?)  I paid for the stuff Saturday, so this is pretty frustrating.

Ten dollars he's French

Well, not meaning to rub salt in, but I;ve been informed that my primary component has arrived at the store who ordered it for me. Picking up tomorrow, will get working on it at the weekend. Hopefully sent out next week.

Not French, no.

From Finland. Currently it's only the southern district that is on strike, but that's where I live. If it continues to next week it will progress further up the country. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon before clearing all the unsent post takes too long.

You are very welcome my good sir! Best of luck using it all!

Gift ordered today, can't believe I didn't have it shipped directly to my giftee!

Ugh. I've gone and built something, and I want to keep it now..........

That means it's a good build.

Aaaaaaaannnnd, sent.

I just got the components in the mail. 1 star for speed, but the guy sent me extra bits, including bits that DON'T go with what I'm building but ARE things I need. So I guess I can't leave him negative feedback...

I have received my little package, and am just about to send your gift to you.

I won't open my gift until Christmas, of course.

I have recieved a strange rattly packet from Sweden.

Anything to do with you lot?

Courtesy of koshi482, my gift had arrived! To the delight of Archon Naeddre, Archon Koshi sent us a shrine of captured Craftworlders: a unit of Swooping Hawks, already painted in a beautiful dark grey scheme.

We are delighted!

Possibly mine, considering that is was supposedly you who was my secret santa.

Your welcome. The basses survive the trip?

Yep. Lost two wings and an arm, but they glued right back on with no trouble!

Knew i needed more fluff in there to keep movement down. Owell glad you like them.

Honestly, they were wrapped up pretty well, and the original modeler (you said you didn't paint them, so I assume you didn't assemble them either?) didn't pin them, which is probably more the factor at work.

In any event, I love them! Perfect gift--a unit I wanted in my army, but that I wouldn't have paid money for on my own. (And in metal, no less--my favorite medium.)

Well again your welcome. Been sad to see them go but atleast they will get use now.

I guess Tengu shouldn't have rattled it so much - BOOM! - we haven't heard from her since

I have been laid up for several days with the worst cold in years. I know, I know, you'd think I would be immune, living and working where I do, and being older than dirt, but I'm not. Darn it.

This year's Raid is going nicely so far, several gifts have already been received and a few more are on their way. It is getting close to the time when gifts should be mailed so they will arrive in time, if anyone thinks their's will be late, please let me know in advance so that I can advise your victim.

Vaejin the Tailor tells me that the Prophets of Flesh have dispatched their slave gift.

Quick update.

I've sent mine. It's 50/60 to be there in time for christmas.

Too close for my taste.

Mine was sent out Wednesday. Just found out today, as I've been rather sick. It was meant to send out several weeks ago but my cat thought it looked like a fun toy. It tis repaired though.

After sitting in the front seat of mycar Venom for the last month, my gift was finally sent yesterday! Will make it by Christmas according to the USPS

That's some lightning fast delivery you've got going on ESE

I have received my package, which is apparently part one of two. I shall add pics once part two arrives.
