No rush, seriously. Take all the time you need.

Would you mind giving us an update on those auction items that haven't been sent and outstanding donors?

Everything that I donated that was going to US based recipients should be arriving.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

No outstanding funds - the last donation was received and transferred Dec 29th. In total $550.05 USD because a couple of donors added funds in addition to the bid totals. Details available upon request if necessary.

I haven't sent my donated items, tho I understand that mostly everything else has been sent - one donor was sick for a while but has sent his items.

A recent close friend's death and technical difficulties (xbox harddrive died when it's mod was nearly finished among other things) delayed things on my end. All except the xbox will be sent Monday.

I'll be compiling and sending tracking numbers for all the items I donated Monday evening.

I've heard from Michi, Flake, JP1, Marurun, and ElkinFencer10 - all their donated items have been sent afaik.

If I screwed up and anyone's unaccounted for, please let me know.

Thanks for understanding about the delays and lack of communication.

I keep forgetting to post in here, but yes, the glass has been sent, Anapan. Unfortunately they gave me a wide ranging estimate about delivery time, so I'm not sure when it'll show up. I bubble-wrapped the crap out of it, though, so hopefully it crosses the continent intact :P

My item arrived safe and sound across the northern border. Now I just have to figure out how on earth to use it.

I am totally up to date on all items except Anapan's - I have never mailed anything to Canada before (that I can remember) and have not had a chance to go to the actual post office. I should get those last two items out soon.

There's nothing to it. Paypal shipping will walk you right through the steps, including the customs form and give you a discount.

Assuming you use Paypal shipping.

All of my stuff has been received, at least to the best of my knowledge, and I am awaiting one item from Anapan which we have already discussed. So all is good on my end.
