    Hint #1: Shipping west (as always)
    Hint #2: My target joined BA over a decade after me
    Hint #3: I can hit about 7 of my targets wants within the theme of this BIF
    Hint #4: I'm not shipping all the way west. My target's state lacks a coastline.
    Hint #5: My target has more wants than gots (don't we all...)
    Hint #6: My target has more posts, beer karma, and likes than I
    Hint #7: While my target's state is over 10x the size of mine in square mileage, it has less than double the amount of residents.
    Hint #8: My target has added wants to his list in the last week, but none are directly associated with the theme of this BIF.

    Keep forgetting to post hints. I think I'm up to around 8 or so.

    Updated 'Not Shipping to These States' list:
    I am not shipping to Alaska.
    I am not shipping to Hawaii.
    I am not shipping to California.
    I am not shipping to Wyoming.
    I am not shipping to Utah.
    I am not shipping to Nevada.

    I have about 200oz and will be shipping no later than next Monday unless something ridiculous decides to come out in the very near future that I can get my hands on.

    I'm finally going to have a chance to do some shopping tonight.
    I'm not sure that I'll be hitting many wants, but since I know what they SHOULD want,
    my target will be ok.
    Speaking of my target, they seem to have forgotten that they are part of this--it's been more than a few days since they've posted a hint.

    Hint 1: I'm shipping east
    Hint 2: I'm shipping to a higher latitude than I
    Hint 3: My target has been on BA longer than I
    Hint 4: My target lives in a state smaller than mine, both by square mileage and by population
    Hint 5: My target has updated wants in the past 7 days, and just made my job easier than it already was. Wants are going to get CRUSHED
    Hint 6: Including this hint, I have posted more on this thread than my target.
    Hint 7: My target is in a blue state.
    Hint 8: I am currently in Minneapolis, and traveling to Chicago today. Hypothetically if I were to ship later today, Hint #1 would still be valid.
    Hint 9: My target's state does not have teams for the top four professional sports.

    I've only done minor shopping, more so because I am waiting on some big releases my target will want.

    I've got 7 possibilities, leaning towards 1 of 2 strong candidates--both rookies. I'm probably
    completely off base, I usually am.

    I'm down to 4. One hasn't posted any hints. It really could be any of the remaining 3, but one is a very strong candidate. If he isn't shipping to me then I know who he is shipping to
