Normally I don't do this, but if anyone is thinking about sending Papa Elf something this CCIJ, that Memorial Day Special at BuyRocketMotors.com looks real sweeeet.

Now back to our normally scheduled programing
 
So far only 6 people have signed up for Secret Santa CIJ. Less than 2 weeks to sign up! I would love to see more people sign up.
 
One week left to sign up.. and still only got 6 people sign up. People just not interested in CIJ? I might extend the sign up deadline, but I wanted allow plenty of time for shipping due to packages still taking forever to get to their destination.

Bummer to hear, I'm not sure what to say... maybe I scared everyone away? I agree allowing plenty of time for gift selection and shipping.
 
I'll be joining. Just trying to get a list together.
Why is no one putting their lists here? Don't wanna be called out for all the expensive stuff? Ehh?! 😁
 
Well I have put L - O motors on my Wishlist, so if there is anyone deserving a call out, that would be me :p

WHAT!? Are you nuts? Nobody gonna get ya those. You are just wasting time wishing for that! Sheesh. :wavingsanta:
There, you have been called out.

same as Christmas I am willing to make deals on loc stuff, quest and aerotech.

Good ta know. Just to clear it up, Quest and Aerotech rocket kits, motors and hardware, or all of the above?
As always there will be LOC on my list. Still waiting for the generous Santa to get me that IROC, Big Nuke or Bruiser; and now I'll wish for the Skinwalker as well.

Historically, CIJ always draws a smaller crowd. Probably because people would prefer to advantage of the holiday sales around Christmas time.
 
Okay email away. I am officially in.

Here is my wish list. As usual it is a living document so I will probably update it over the next week or so. I am recovering from LASIK and my vision hasn't adjusted quite yet so I am limiting my screen time and there is likely typos.

Gonna farther branch out in CTI. I have a cluster in the works that would love some Pro29s, either 1, 2, or 3 grain. A couple of my rockets have flown most, if not all, of the other 38/240s and 38/360s, now they need to fly on CTI. And who doesn't love 1grain 54s?
CTI Pro54 1grain case (I have a closure), Pro29 starter set, Pro38 2grain case, Pro38 3grain case
Eggtimer Telemetry Package with LCD; Eggtimer Quantum; Eggfinder Mini Tx
3" Quantum Tube, 4" Quantum Tube
LabRat Shockcord Protective Sleeve for Eggtimer Mini, with eyebolt

I am pretty set on kits, but there are a few that I will graciously accept of course
LOC: any size (Nano, Micro, Mini) Magg - bigger the better; T-Loc, Onyx, Lil Nuke --- Bruiser, IROC, Big Nuke
Binder Design Jackhammer
