2014 Brickset Secret Santa

msanders · January 2015

Oh no! I need to get the detectives from the detective office to find my secret Santa....!

@margot the tin appears to be Lego City? It has a best before date on the bottom (30.10.2000) so I'm thinking it may have been full of sweets / candy rather than Lego? If anyone can shed any light on what it was used for as I couldn't find anything on the net.
My Santa did a great job, the tin was full of quirky old school sets, modern poly bags and chocolate minifigs - yum yum! Thank you once again santa :wink:

^I have that same tin. I had it in 1999 (so the 2000 expiry date sounds about right!), from before my brother was born! If I remember correctly, it had chocolate chip cookies in, but I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time...now it has my brother and my collection of angled/round/wing/bow spare pieces! (And is in significantly worse condition...)

[Edit] Now that I think about it, it came with a free polybag of #2884, which I also still have somewhere. Look at the description on the set details and it says it was packaged for free with biscuits from Tesco's, which sounds about right.

^ @plasmodium‌ Tin mystery solved, thank you very much :smiley:

margot · January 2015

I just looked up #2884 on Ebay and so funny how many times I find myself in @prevere 's shop.

HangedSanchez · January 2015

Just a rather delayed note to say thanks Secret Santa! Its just want I wanted! :smiley:

cjorgens · January 2015

I'm finally catching up on things after all the holiday festivities and traveling and I just wanted to give a belated shout out and thank you to my secret santa. I loved all my goodies, especially the retro spaceman!

Also, thanks to @CapnRex101 and @rancorbait‌ for organizing this for everyone.

EKSam · January 2015

I would like to thank my secret santa for the #31021 Furry Creatures:-), it is cute and much appreciated. My apologies for the late update, I picked up the package from my neighbor this morning.

Bumblepants · January 2015

Well Guy Who Can't Remember His Zipcode finally got a package! Thanks @Thanos75 for re-sending it and for all the great goodies!

samiam391 · January 2015

^Just look at all those clearance stickers. @Thanos75‌ you really do live in the LEGO promised land.

TheOneVeyronian · January 2015

Sorry, I've been very out of the loop here lately so I must apologise for not doing this sooner, but better late than never to thank my Secret Santa for their generous gift of:

#44028 Surge and Rocka Combat Machine
#40116 Hero Factory polybag
the 2013 1 of 2 seasonal set
A new style polar bear from the Arctic theme
Gwaihir eagle from Battle of Five Armies set

Looking forward to doing this all again next year hopefully! :-)

ColoradoBricks · January 2015

Take 2, while I had received my Secret Santa gift and posted about it, to my surprise I got another package today with:
#5002145 Rocket Raccoon &
#851003: The Joker Key Chain

And a note saying that those items arrived too late to be in the first package.

Thanks again Secret Santa, I feel like I signed up for a LEGO a month club :)

^WHOA...... cool!!!
I want to buy one of those.
I know! Its brilliant. Whilst I was building I thought it would be great to have as an official Lego set. After Christmas may be the Secret Santa will submit it to Ideas or share the instructions.

OK, I think @msanders has been wondering who his SS was for long enough so it's time to come clean. And I must say I was overjoyed at the reaction to my MOC. So much so that I have indeed submitted my first model to the Hover Scout and Recharge Dock project on Lego Ideas.

I can't say I'm expecting much, but if a few hundred people were to support it I think I'd be quite thrilled, as this is the first time I've really sat down and thought a project through from start to finish for possible submission.

Who knows @margot, with the right support, maybe one day you *could* buy one ;-)

Shib · January 2015

Nice one @iso3200‌ - added my support :-)

Thank you so much Secret Santa! It was such a great present and so much thought went into it. I'll definitely be adding my support. It's still on display with the Exo suit. Love it!

LegoKip · January 2015

@iso3200‌ adding my support for your project too in the hope we Yanks get a chance to own one.
Good luck!

CapnRex101 · January 2015

Today I received final confirmation that all gifts have been received, so this year's Brickset Secret Santa is officially wrapped! We will probably make a couple of minor changes to make the process a little bit easier next year, but if anyone has any suggestions then feel free to send me a PM.

I hope everybody has enjoyed taking part and will be back for next year!
