Fine Scale 'Send what you like to build' Secret Santa?

id be keen, would help me branch out a little.

Count me in for 2 counts.

Me and my son been participating in a "Secret Santa " exchange for years.

Just give me the rundown again on how it all works.

Im gona wait a week or so, see how many people are interested, and then set up a proper forum for it.

Okies.

like the sound of that, count me in!

Why not? Hmm... this should be interesting. I'm in

Well, thats 5 people already, lets hope for more

SQUEEE!!!, ive always wanted to take part in one of these. what sort of price limit are we putting on it? Im guessing quite high because warhammer stuff is hideously expensive. Well, it is here anyway.

I may put a price limit but Im thinking this.

25$ max spending cap.  If someone doesnt have that much, sends off a 10$ kit, and gets a 40$ kit in return, may make him feel bad for spending so little

I'd be in. Might be better/easier to order online and send direct due to cost of kitsat LHS down this way.

Oh that is definatly an option and I know some sites actually have gift wrapping.

The problem with ordering it and giving their address is that you don't get a chance to make sure its right and all.

What I did when I ran the armor one was ordered the kits (I got a few cheap ones that fit together) and then put them in a box, wrapped it, and shipped it out myself.

Perhaps you could match people that have similar prices? Say I spend $15 on a kit you could match me with a person that spent the same, plus or minus $5.

Well thats why I said 25, not going to find to many kits under 10$ then with shipping and all.  I think 25$ or under for everyone would be best.  If I had to cross reference people by cost and location would end up a bit more work for me anyhow

count me in,  for uk would £25 max for the kit be acceptable? postage on top of.

i have a few ideas brewing.

we could do some sort of january GB where we show off our pressies, and build em.

regardless of schedules or current builds, it would be pretty rude to put it to one side

just because something else is on the wb.

Well the Pound is worth more then the dollar, saddly...  Im not going to say NO YOU CAN NOT SPEND MORE if you really want to be nice and charitable, or if the cost goes to like 26$ or something.

The way I ran the last one I did was basicly. 

You get it, wrap it, and ship it out

they get it, put it away

Christmas day everyone opens it, comes here posts what they got.  Then they build it when they get around to it, just dig up the old thread and post in it.

thats cool, looking at conversion it looks like you can get kits cheaper in the U.S e.t.c,

running down to  £15 in the uk gets you not a lot unless you get a really good deal,

would it be ok to ship directly if possible, post in the uk is ridiculous?!

sorry i seem to be putting this down, im not , i would love to take part.!  heck, even if its international, i could buy on a store based on my Reciever, and ship direclty to them  that way.

anyway im skint all the time  but i am Very willing to join in and spread the sprue...

did i tell you about the time i got passively mugged for £10 by a 13yo girl .....

no you didnt, how prey tell, did she do that?

Would it be ok if we sent something from our stash? Not that im going to, but if might be a cheaper option for someone. especially if they get paired with me lol.

its not a cheaper option in my opinion!,

i personally done have a stash due to financial restricitons,  so mien will be a  purchase, but i dont see a problem with it,

well its Smeags call XD

From stash is fine.  Honestly, that makes it more personal, its something of yours your sending.

25lb is fine with me.  Also if you buy from a usa shop and have them ship it, while its not the best, that would be easy on your wallet.

now dont go buying stuff right yet, we need to get everything set up before hand

So, can I get a tally of who is interested at this point?

Im in.

In as stated for 2 counts. Me and Son.

You and your son are both doing it?

Smeagol.

Yes, he has become quiet the builder and we been doing kit exchanges for some years round this time of year.

Any kit is fine for him, same for me.

So that is four right now, hopefully we get more.

as long as we keep the numbers even, id be keen to do it unofficially if we cant get the numbers

I'm still in if that's what you're asking... any thought on dates?

I wana get a count on the amount of people by the 25th of october, then ill set a must ship by date. and set people to other people

gotcha.
