Ive seen this work in a forum before, so it IS possible. Here's how it would go: Everyone that is participating all sends their names, addresses and possibly a list of HH figures/2-packs we'd like (within reason - we can work out more specs later) to someone else who's sitting out, but willing to help. That person then secretly assigns the Santas randomly by private messaging them the persons info & list. I think we're all pretty comfortable with each other that this could be done. Id be fun. What do u guys think? Im keeping a list of who's willing to participate:The7thCynic YayaDad Legofan25 jestergoblin docfairday I say it should be better than your generic office santa. At least we're getting/buying toys rather than junk.

I WANT BLACK PANTHER / STORM SANTA CLAUS!!
I'd be up for it. Is it okay if we include loose stuff cause I don't have a lot of MOC.

Id assume that we could all agree that loose is fine. Altho buyin a 2-pack thats readily avail could also be an option. So we could say 2 figs, loose or packaged.

I could volunteer to be the "Keeper of the Info" for you 7th.
And in case anyone is wondering...Yes, I do accept bribes!

You cant be keeper of the info if youre participating. Then you would know who YOUR Santa is. Anyone else in? We'd need a few more for this to work.

That's cool, I don't have to participate is what I'm saying. Works out since I don't have much MOC.

I'm interested, but I don't quite understand how it works. I send in a list of what figs I want? And how do I know what figs other people want? A little explanation would be helpful. Thanks

I'd like some more info too. Everybody wants the rare figs but no one wants to give up what they got or pay ebay prices for a gift. Besides, I don't really want anything specific. I'm in it for the fun and the gift of giving.

Why don't we make it something other than SHS figures then?

Theres not much to it really.
Someone who isnt participating is the "Keeper of the Info" Everyone thats participating then sends him their info: Name, Address and list of figs u want Then the "Keeper of the Info" randomly assigns people (ex, I get jester, jester gets florida, florida gets Yaya, etc) and sends em all the info on that specific person.
We'd have to be reasonable when asking for figs. In fact, we may wanna post our lists on this thread so we can approve that its doable. The list SHOULD include some figs that we could possibly get AT THE STORE but loose is also ok. I figured where most Secret Santas have a price limit we could just do a figure limit since theyre all abt the same. So 2 fig - loose or in a 2 pack. And we should have a deadline for entering, a date for assigning and a deadline possibly for shipping. What do u think? Did I miss anything?

Ding ding ding! Reasonable is the word of the day.
I'd prefer going beyond SHS for one simple reason: I have them all already. Short of a few test paints and unreleased figures, I've got the entire collection.
Deadline for getting address information to the Keeper of Info.
Deadline for shipping items, including sending tracking number to the Keeper.
Item shipped should be either a two-pack, two loose figures or some other toy of equal value (around $8).
Keep this exchange to US users only for price constraints.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm good. Here's my list: Any movie Iron Man. 2-packs Iron Man and Doctor Strange Thanos and Captain Marvel Deadpool and Taskmaster Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch -or- whatever anyone wants to get me. It's a Hero Up Christmas ;D
