N1ck Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hello Everybody!It's that time of year again, that's right it's the 5th Annual Holiday Miniature Exchange! Now you are probably thinking, "Hey you're not Rameses! Why are you doing this?" Well Rameses had to step away this year, and has asked me to organize the exchange this year. Not to worry though, I come here today to open up the Holiday festivities for 2015. Sign up starts now October 19th through November 20th. You will recieve the name of the person you are giving a gift to on November 22nd. "What am I talking about" you say?This is the Official UnOfficial 4th Annual gift exchange for the Malifaux community! Here is how it works...Send me N1ck a Personal Message or PM via the Wyrd forums with the following information Your NameYour AddressFaction or Factions that you wish to receive a gift from.Answer this question: Are you willing to ship Internationally? Now understand this is not a contest for gives the best gift. Give what you can afford. But please understand; if you are asking for a Crew box for gift, it would only be fair to be willing to gift the same. That said there is a minimum dollar cost for the gifting process. I only ask keep the gifts cost to a minimum of $20.And lets be fair as gamers $20 is a drop in the Hobby bucket. So the lets cover legal mumbo-jumbo. This is not a Wyrd Miniatures sponsored event, so Wyrd Miniatures and it's affiliates are in no way responsible or accountable for this Exchange. This also is not a Miniature grab. Please do not sign up for this exchange then disappear. While I can't hunt you down and make "Bad Things Happen" to you (afterall I am a decent "Being") I can prevent you from participating ever again in the Holiday Miniatures Exchange. Gifts are expected to be in the mail and delivered to their recipient by December 31st.So yes this Exchange is also a shameless plug by me n1ck to get Wyrd more sales during Black Friday aka last Weekend of November. That said. Sign up exchange gifts and make a new friend in this wonderfully Wyrd community. FAQQ: Can I make some thing for my giftee?A: Yes feel free to, but it is nice to contact them to verify with them that it is ok to do so. Q: Can I paint something for them?A: Againt contact your giftee. Q: Do you have a list of International Miniatures shops that I can buy and ship from?A: Yes. Give a few minutes to get that list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawg Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Oh, this is interesting. Simply giving gifts, as in unopened items?The forum I use to be most active on had a similar exchange like this, Christmas in July I believe it was called, but the express purpose was to model/paint a figure so the person receiving would then own something unique crafted by another person's hands.I mean, a gift exchange is cool, it's just.. I can buy/receive new models in the mail already. Is it typical that people don't hobby the item in question for their giftee, or is that something more common? I'm just curious, because I find that interaction a bit more interesting, although it is of course potentially more time consuming to build/paint a model for someone, so understandable if that is not the case.

It is the in spirit of the holidays, and who does not like a gift? Also it may help build up your collection of models for a specific faction, for example maybe you just started out in the Neverborn fatcion by getting a Lillith Crew box, someone that received your name may know a lot about Lillith and get you models that work well with her (i.e. Waldgeist) Also as long as the person you received give you permission you may paint or base the model but again you would need there permission first.

Myyrä Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Heh heh, I remember that promise to add an international miniatures shops list from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquer Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looking forward to it! May the Yuletide bring forth the horrors that were promised.* *Historically, Germanic pagan belief held that the Autumn Equinox marked the thinning of the vale between the mundane and supernatural, which reached its zenith during the Yuletide. Yay! Hallooween is really three months long! You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 So it is that time of the year, huh? Might be able to join in again this year, but I will learn from my mistake last year and not try to get something from the Black Friday sale on the Wyrd site. Sorry guys, but it just takes too long. I was a week late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeblerpowell Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Can we REQUEST a person that is ok with getting a painted gift or with getting a painted gift. I think it would be rad to be able to say "This model/cres was painted for me by a fellow hobbyist that I have never met. And they are playing with a model/crew that I painted for them also!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtitan Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I do like the idea of the painted gift also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeblerpowell Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Hey Stormtitan where are you based? If you're in the US maybe we could just pick eachother? I will paint something up for you and you can paint something up for me! Edited October 27, 2015 by Keeblerpowell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1ck Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sent you a message to say I'm up for this with all my deets Thanks, you should have received a response back!Can we REQUEST a person that is ok with getting a painted gift or with getting a painted gift. I think it would be rad to be able to say "This model/cres was painted for me by a fellow hobbyist that I have never met. And they are playing with a model/crew that I painted for them also!"You would need to ask permission from the person you received if you could send painted models to them. if you want to receive painted models then send me a message that you are willing to receive a painted model and whoever receives your name will be notified of same along with the factions you prefer. Please keep in mind though that whoever receives your name is not obligated to send a painted model but it is an option if they so choose.

cursingbulldog Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Anyway to group those of us who want to put in the extra bit of painting or basing or whatever into a separate group from those that prefer not to so we can be better matched up?

N1ck Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Anyway to group those of us who want to put in the extra bit of painting or basing or whatever into a separate group from those that prefer not to so we can be better matched up?Unfortunately we can not group these for painting or basing as it would make everything too complex. However if you would like to receive something painted then list it with your choice faction or factions you would like to receive from. However it can not guarantee that you will receive someone willing to send a painted model or receiving someone that would want a painted model.Hey I'm just making sure this is still happening?Yes, yes it is! it is not to late to sign up! November 20th is the deadline to sign up. If you wish to partake send me a PM before then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1ck Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 With the Black Friday models announced, it is still not to late to sign up! Remember the deadline is this Friday (11/20) at midnight EST. Don't miss out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I signed up. Should put some warning on buying something from the Black Friday sale, might push you past the Dec 31st receive date. That happened to me last year.
