Looks like I received mine in the mail today, very tempting to open but I can wait. Should have mine ready to send out some time mid next week.

Damn this crept up on me.

Went on vacay (limited internet) and just returned today, is it a hard shipping date of December 10?? If so, I might just have to order and send straight to the persons house but I rather package it all nicely and add a loving touch before sending it out.

I am sure that if you message nubbinator and let him know that there might be a slight delay, there will be no issue.

Tracking says awaiting pickup from PO... UUUHHHNNNG

Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Aaand it arrived!
Here are my unboxing picture: http://imgur.com/a/BF1UK  :)

I have to admit I was more than suprised to find such a huge package arriving and even more suprised of it containing great things like these!  :eek: I almost feel like I cannot accept all this!
I will definitively give the SSK a special place on my desk (probably as daily driver), and will post some pics once I cleaned it!

And OMG my first clack, even for BS, can't believe it...  let alone the bros! :eek:
Also I LOVE the stickers!  :D

Thanks again! <3

About 2 months ago I announced that I would post some more pics of my Summer Santa gift! It took me quite a while to do the mod but i finished it some weeks ago:

I only found a small number of rivets broken,  but usually prefer to clean new old boards as much as possible!

But you have to open them to see the notes.  I already opened one too early for that particular secret Santa because I didn't know what it was.   And I only figured out which one it was for by posting up.   Not that big of a deal,  but made me glad I put forum Nick and forum on my notes.
