Hey Trapper!

I've still got your Blues Hull, I would trade it for either of your Legends Chase (You might want more for the Fuhr, so I could increase the offer.) or I can sell it to you like the original plans. It's been a few months, but I've still got it and it's still mint!:D

I'll be at the Richardson building tomorrow until about 4 pm. Can we hook up? I don't mind dropping by your place. If this does not work I'm off work next week and we can hook up for sure. If you don't want the Hull anymore, that's cool too. I can trade it or open it.

LMK either way, sorry it's been so long, but we're both pretty busy guys.

I went to Transcona Wallyworld today for groceries and stopped by the toy aisles. 2 old guys were ripping it apart, they had some black Gretzs and all the Fuhr regs. I guess that's the game nowadays.
That's why I just order the figs I want, Hunting is way too frustrating.
They also seem to be pretty chummy with the lady working in toys.

Question for you guys: my buddy runs a toy store and currently does not order a lot of hockey (for Legends 2 he only ordered 1 case). If I got him to order more cases for NHL 11/10/Legends 3 would you guys be interested in purchasing from him?

With all the scalping and ridiculousness these days i'm just trying to find ways to make things a little easier...

zoomer
04-20-2005, 08:47 AM
tell him to charge 15 flat for regs and 20 for variants, low margin + high volume.

he'll want to be sure he has the customer base to move them tho..........

btw, does 'he' happen to have my blue bossy? :D

lol - i havent talked to 'them' yet, have been waiting to hear from you first :)

freezerbox
04-20-2005, 08:48 AM
6five, As far as I'm concerned I would be interested but would never commit until I knew the lineup. I'm finding I'm picking & choosing a couple from each series now compared to buying everything a year or two ago. I do think one can profit from them (a retailer), but modestly bumping the price of a chase lowering the cost of the pegwarming type players and an average cost for the rest. Just my 2 cents.

Joe, if he does like $20 for chase and like regular price comparable to Wally I would shift there completely. Be even nicer if customers could call up a list of A chase they really want in a series and if possible go to the first call first serve basis, any additional chases being left for the masses. Kind of a customer program. Seriously though I only really look for 1 or 2 chase per series so something like this is more up my alley. Might not affect those that collect a lot more. Of course he would have to make it so that you are not allowed to just buy the chase fig on its own. Must buy at least 1 regular fig. This would help with some of the would be pegwarmers. Cuz If I'm there to buy the figs and he has em for a comparable price, then I'm going to buy it there. Heck I'd even start buying my comic from him as a one stop shop.

Crashz

yeah Vernie and I went out today. Unsuccessful. would have been great though cuz NO ONE was there. Just that Brian guy who struts around like a f-en c-ocky little bastard cuz he knows if they are out or not. Not all of us are quite so obsessive about getting toys that we would enlist our spouses to work just to get info. Fact that his wife is an a-s-s-hat, talentless wench doesn't help either. Seriously I dont know what they do in the mornings, Walk into the dept, and all the aisle look pretty much exactly the same as it was yesterday. w.t.f. have they been doing all morning besides restocking a couple hotwheels so her husband can come down? /rant

Hi Crashz,

I feel your frustration and anger. It sucks that Donna is married to Brian. That Brian really needs to get a life, does he even work??? The guy is there everyday, he picks up the SP's to give to the scapler Ernie in exchange for Hotwheels toys. Donna is just not too bright, but whatever. What a joke over there and it doesn't seem like the bigger managers of the store sees it as a problem. Kind of a conflict of interest situation. Nothing we can do about.

Just keep in mind that these things a toys.

04-20-2005, 09:47 AM
and it's not like there isn't room on there shelves. i wonder if she just 'foregoes' any bonsuses she could make , in order to have time to cherrypick the cases. Brian told me himself yesterday " so the esposito and beliveau's are the hard ones to get"

i swear they are *** crooks. me and ernie were the only ones at st v. this am.

i asked him point blank 'do you keep any of this stuff?'

his answer 'No' - i said okay, i guess you're just in my way then? - i'm not sure if he heard this :)

That they are but we the consumers are burning gas and our time to try to get something that they aren't giving us. I can go to another Walmart but I shouldn't have to. It's my right as a customer to at least expect a grain of customer service when I ask for it. When someone asks you to punch in a sku to check on a product you don't say "No" point blank especially when You have the scanner in your hand. We shouldn't have to check with other employees in other dept in order to get this done

there's a good point to this.

just because we're buying toys, we get knocked for it.

but if we were looking to see if a new cd was coming, or if they had stock of anything else - they would go check for us. i don't see how you can serve some customers, but not the others... lol imagine calling rogers and asking for a movie and them saying "i don't go looking for Ben Stiller movies". well what the fuzz cos.

it ain't right :)

this is practically a hate crime ;)

and 3 darth vaders at the bay st vital (crappy toy dept - no marvel legends). cheaper than buying at tru tho

i could coat hanger a car open in broad daylight on portage avenue, and everybody would assume its my car (i've actually done this - was my buddys car. if you tried it an night acting sneaky, someone would call the cops.

u guys are all crazy!!! funny but crazy. Gary and I do it right. we let everyone else waste gas and there time then buy them at 20-25 bucks 6 months later. its way easier and u knowwhat the figure is still new to me even if its been out for awhile. plus I don't know if u guys know this but there is no added value or way of proving if u have the first figure. The only people who should be upset about not getting anything on the first run are the scalpers cause they are the ones who lose out money by not getting something on ebay right away.

Don't get me wrong the chase is fun but really the added stress some of u guys put on yourselves is just not worth it. Be patience good things come to those who wait. I know this cause I've been waiting for GAry's Theodore and it is going to be mine some day!!!!!!

I agree with you Peaceshark. It's a joke chasing figures. My mom used to go out and try and get me stuff in the mornings. But she had no luck cause the guys at the Mandalay flea market would have "contacts" who hooked them up. I couldn't wake up that early for figures, especially with how bad it can get in the mornings.... especially when I can get them for next to nothing later on.

It's not a personal/private phone number.

I went to the Wallyworld at Polo to check on the figures and complain. Bad timing, none of the managers including Donna was again, lunch break of course. I think we should all complain, the service sucks there.

For the Star Wars Unleashed fans, they have General Grievous, Ankin and Obi-wan figures at the SS St. James Location. I was very surprised to see them there.

If you are wondering, SS had no Legends figures also.

If the Kings Gretz you have are both from Legends Series 2 (1 White Reg, 1 Black Chase) and they are both sealed and minty, I'll take em' for 34. I'm on holidays next week so we can hook up then. I had an interview with CIBC today at 1 Lombard for a PB position somewhere in the city. I'm considering moving back to the branches, so we may end up working together!

that's sexy. ...except i thought the game started at 8? :confused:


still looking for espo at the top of my list (and it's a short list consisting of one) :D i'm sure he'll be used as trade bait for someone else's needs which is aight.

team canada 12" gretz announced... i'll wait for the $20 version.

and with that in mind - if anyone is ordering a case of Team Canada (is that next on the list or is it NHL 11?) i would be willing to buy a gretzky (hopefully a white one - not sure if they'll be 4 per box, the name power is pretty solid in that set), and both versions of sakic for a semi-reasonable price. holler at me on that...

who here wants a chase Kipper? i think i'm pretty happy with just a red one, but i haven't decided if i should want a white one (i assume that would be it). but a red one means i could probably get one from someone chasing, and not have to get up myself... hrm. we'll see if the fat one is still employed at walmart at that point.. if so, i'm not going to bother.

It looks like they're down at the $20 CDN range. That is, unless a bunch of people start sniping in the last few minutes.

some updates -

portage superstore says they aren't sure if they are getting any in they "very rarely get new toys in the summer" or something... and it was'nt the normal lady that works there (the black one that's biatchy), so take it for what it's worth...

bumped into a fellow at TRU - both looking for legends, asked me if i knew Ernie... lol i said "the collector or the seller?" i guess the dude knows ernie the scalper... seemed like a nice dude though. any interested parties can PM for the extra information. (trying to keep the lurkers at bay).

I wonder if Todd's words on cutting production is holding true? What I mean by that is it appears Wal-Mart certainly at this point is getting a shorter supply of SP's relative to other recent hockey releases.

ShakesO
04-21-2005, 02:55 PM
if todd cut back THAT much on production, he's ***.

seriously, we have like 30 gretzkys at each walmart, and 3 of each other guy.

how are we supposed to buy like 4-5 figures of the series if we can't get them?

there's gotta be a second wave. there's no way it'd be this small... and if it was - i'm just going to start ordering my figures individually from mctoys or something.

freezerbox
04-21-2005, 02:58 PM
Sometimes they'll flirt with "rarity" but cutting back on a single series then bumping it up to a happy medium. Considering the time of year (even though the Cup run is usually on) it would be a good time to make a shorter run to inflate interest.

freezerbox
04-21-2005, 02:59 PM
Also with all the recent releases (Coop 2, MLB upcoming series can't remember #, NBA recent release, Leg. 2 hockey, NHL 11) Wal-Mart may have cut back to make room for these products.

ShakesO
04-21-2005, 03:01 PM
the only thing a short run will do - is give me the closure of knowing i'm not getting a chase esposito. and then i won't be up before 8am for two weeks.

and i'll still have $15 in my pockets...

works out well for me.

what's the order of release again?

NHL 11 then Team Canada?

i seem to have survived legends 2 with only one goalie purchase. so that's cool. i know i can hold to just a Kipper in NHL 11... i was a bit disappointed with the rest of the figures as they came out...

i hope for a new edmonton goalie soon - i was looking at my shelf, and i could do the canadian team goalies (lalime, cloutier, belfour, kipper) but i don't really want my salo to go up. i just don't like that figure anymore. the only other question is to go Theo2 or stick with my white canadiens roy.

naw... if you if you look he's been buying and selling for awhile... i doubt it's the unicity kid, or it'd be way more selling, less buying.

but sweet jesus - take a peak at the deals he's been getting on those figs...

in other news -

was kinda looking over my collection, and my loose figs are really outnumbering my momc figs... i think i'm going to move a few of the extra goalies i don't really want anymore... well see what happens.

back on topic to what i was saying before jerknuts called me out for some odd reason -- i currently have a goalie shelf going - would you guys rather have the old school white roy as your montreal goalie rep, or have a Theo2 as the guy in there? (my avs roys, and eventually aebi - are gonna get bumped over to my avs shelf).

i know for sure cheevers is going down to the bottom shelf with fuhr...

crashz - he must've been talking to me... ain't nobody else here :D (seriously though, i can't figure out what other post he was referencing if it wasn't mine...)


i think i'm gonna order some more marvel mini mates... come in sets of 6 (3 2packs)... and they don't take up much space. but if i build too big of an army that might look a bit ridiculous :D

october of last year and 'treasure hunter?'
that couldn't be funnier. i just figured it out - maybe hotwheels themselves are to blame.
they call their dinky cars 'treasures' instead of chases. this breeds ill will.

and btw big E, get some new white tshirts, gettin a little threadbare, y'know? spend some of your pirated booty. you have crappy shoes too. maybe that's why you walk like there's a stick up your arse. and all you old bastards could answer one question - doesnt hotwheels make hats? and do you ever replace yours or do you wait until they rot off your heads?


and also BTW, i believe mr 'treasure hunter' is one of the lurking 'guests' i told to pissss off. learn how to reply with quotes.

Hey, I just got my hands on the Legends 2 Fuhr, nice figure!!

If anyone has the Sony PSP, I suggest you get the Logitech Safe Case for it, does a sweet job. Also if anyone is thinking of buying a PSP, get one!! Lumines and Ridge Racer are very addicitive..Have you tried any of the memory stick hacks or the web browser hack yet?

Kurt was pretty accomodating with us when we spoke with him but he is an assistant mgr for a reason, none of the things he was saying meant anything and 90% of it was just him trying to think on his feet to get the customer to back off. Nice tactic, I'm in retail I know the run around answers. Though today in age most of us are educated enough to realize that inventory systems aren't quite as unreliable as he was trying to pin WalMart as having.

ShakesO

vic - i think espo is up there because it's probably the nicest fig in the set (imo).

i can't wait for NHL 10 to eventually poke itself out... i'm pretty close to feeling closure on my collection. not sure what avs we'll see next. the real test will be if i can handle it when heatley and spezza start getting figures :)

soon i'll be able to move on to the wallace and gromit, and some more JLA/Batman type stuff. still trying to be selective....

They only sting when you're warming up, you turn your head to grab a ball you just saved, and a player takes a slapshot that hits you on the side of your mask. ;)

has anyone looked into options for getting some, other than ebay? i'd love 2 sets, for me, and my mother-in-law. she probably hasn't missed a jays game on tv in .......... cripes, maybe EVER :) ditto her mom, grandma-in-law - lives in Whiterock, can only see colours, NEVER misses a game. i love them for their perseverance and dedication, and loyalty. mariners fans too cuz of the B.C. connection.

and speaking of baseball - tru polo had mays/bonds 2packs on the shelves today - not bad, but not for 34.99 plus taxes!!

i would Guess that a better price could be found. even 35 flat is a lot better imo. the giants 2pack is not for me, but i want to see the world series set.

had a funny dream last nite - it was like a 'mission impossible' type-dream where myself and some other boardies busted a bunch of scalpers and saved-the-day. i got all the girls (:D !) and let you guys take the ml/nhl legends chases - cant remember whether or not i was holding a 13 selanne or not. was having 'flashbacks' all day. hard to remember dreams completely tho.

also, for those of you who liked my 't-shirt' post :) - i do Try, i suppose i have my moments. wish i could come up with one-liners like espin or astrodave tho.

espin & vicnsand - assuming yous all are still reading, i'll have yours guys's figs 'on-me' (& no, i wouldnt copy espins secret stashole) but my pit-bull will be guarding them in my car - i let him crawl back and forth thru, the trunk pass-thru. i dont really ski, so it works out good.

so, just pm me if you need my cell #, and we'll hook up whenever :)
