Thanks Astro! Great job at posting this and all the pics!
The toys were most excellent
Loved the way they all turned out...except the blue sled, which didn't turn out at all
Maybe something went wrong with it at the end. Dunno. Weird for it to disappear...and for VFK to remain 'tight-lipped' about what happened to it.
Awesome that everyone got a Santa hat and scarf...at the same time, bittersweet for those who tried for days and days, and spent hours and hours languishing in the Santa room queue trying desperately to get the hats and scarfs (while many clones and other people who had already seen Santa were going back in to see him again and ask for rare...). I'm so glad my family didn't have a problem...but I can imagine how those other poor folks feel. VFK should have made it known early on that this was going to take place. Instead, they stayed 'tight-lipped' about that, too. They really need to be more open with their players. They must realize that lack of communication can (and usually does) lead to a very unhappy experience and much inconvenience for players. Let's hope that they have this sorted out and inform the players of this ahead of time if they choose to do it again next year. -gets down off soapbox-
If I had to list one thing I wished for that we didn't get...it would be a prize for completing the Advent calendar. I really was convinced we'd get something special for completing it....although I was pretty sure we'd be getting pins up to that point. The pins are nice...but I guess I was expecting more at the end. Not that they told us anything about the Advent calendars at all in the first place. Oops...soapbox again. LOL. Sorry 'bout that!
The hats/scarfs/Santa room fiasco aside, they really did an excellent job on Christmas
