in arnes, on dialup (quelle drag...)

but wanted to jump in and wish everyone merry xmas. leaving around 1 to drive back to the peg. ******* xmas in the country is the best!! peace, tranqulity, the only sound is birds singing (listen carefully and you can hear the sound of their wings...)

mother - in - law LOVED the clemens retro blue jays i got her....and gf seems to think the family guy bendies/diamond earrings/much more are pretty ok

didn't 'score' too much myself so far, but xmas is more about giving for me this year. did get 'america the book', tony hawk underground (1), and red dead revolver, amongst other things.

gotta go - hope everyone's doing good - will likely be back on later this evening

good mornin' and merry christmas guys -

just so you know bestbuy and futureshop have their sales online already - i was on at 1205am and picked up NHL 2005 for $29, beats waiting in line. most of the really big savings were gone by 2am tho...

finally got my arena seat in and it's looking pretty cool. highlights include my Muhammad Ali "soul of a butterfly" book (...it's like his life philosophies or something...), a polar bear painting on one of those funky rock kind've deals, and Risk ! :) my parents had problems deciding what to get me, so i have various "gift certificates" that read "exchange for ______ money" towards weights, or a fleece, or other stuff lol. kinda sucked not to have actual stuff to open, but that's ok.

anyway - hope everyone has a good christmas dinner and stuff. lets not forget - puck drops at 338 for the Canada game!

Crashz

I seriously need to get one of them foldemup Poker tables.

Did anyone else get gift certs from Best Buy and Futureshop? I have one from each. If anyone has the same dilemma an wants to swap so they have certs to the same place let me know. Only problem is I only know the amount on my Best Buy Card. It's $40.

It's from Sears. Looks a lot like this:

http://www6.sears.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?categoryId=11895&catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&langId=-1&productId=157837740

I assembled it tonight and I'm going to use it for a week or so and then it's got to go into storage or I'll sell it...

Really nice gift from my Step Brother, but I have no room for it.:(

good job juniors on their first win. too bad they fell apart for awhile. strong start, big lead, strong finish!!

have lotr ee, for the first two movies for sale (cuz i'm pissed off i didn't get #3). these are really nice box sets. i know that one set (i believe fellowship...)has never been used, and the other has been played once.

i typically watch my divx/xvid's rather than playing an original dvd (or music cd for that matter) because i don't like scratch's/fingerprints/and crap on my beautiful discs. i only get retail of ones i really want (usually gifts from other people tho...)

also have malcolm in the middle season 1 for sale - has been used, but in v.good shape imo

Crashz
12-26-2004, 09:34 AM
So buy the 3rd movie. I only bought them for the commentaries and the appendicies. That's more what I watch than the actual movie itself. THere really wasn't that much added into the movie, but the parts that did made the story flow a bit better IMO. The ending was still a bit long for my liking though

lmao he might take the pens too (if its one he hasnt got) he already had an 'older style' white jagr, and just bought two more off nhl.com (one pro, one replica)

but he would only take size 48......

any other good boxing day deals. got my 'good :) deal' by staying in and making good use of my brand new queen size pillows/250:) thread count 'superpercale' cases & my new books ('america', s.kings last 2 'dark tower' books). still have lots to read.........too bad about all the sad news today. don't really have any way to try and track down my neighbor in malaysia :(

Thrashers White
Caps White
Panthers White (Putting Bouwmeester on the back, then get auto)
Avs 3rd

That was my X-mas present from my GF. She paid half the cost. Wanted a Blue Jackets too but they sold out pretty fast.

Had a look into Futureshop and Best Buy. Not a lot of huge savings. I thought about buying an eMac for a while, but I'll have to think about it a little more. I'm tired of the Windows OS, so the OSX platform might be a more welcome (and stable) change.

whoever buys that 'bloody' garbage must worship manson too. *** morbid imo

maybe someone could make a point by sending him a 'dead' toy dog with it's head cut off. not that i have anything against dogs. but *** is next? moore? thiesman? and what the hell does he 'use' for the blood?

i know of a junior player that lost half is *** face way back in the day at the civic centre when they had wood/chain link for 'plexiglass' on the end boards. nasty injury, mostly to mouth/nose/chin/jaw and he only played for maybe one game after a long convalesence (recovery to you vicnsand:)). i've seen plenty (way too many) serious accidents in person and on tv.

and it's not funny in any way. or cool. or tolerable based on my opinions. however, freedom of speech and all, i guess i can't be a hippocrite, so i'll stop at that.....

and the models sound cool , but would like someone's opinion. and price. may be interested (just one though lol). that's about all i'd want. don't really have room for ALL the pucks. and just too much to buy for my brother - little bit spoiled.

gave him three chase sens, plus a reg lalime for xmas (not sure he really understands about chase/variants...). he's very *careful* with his stuff tho (unopened). aside of mcfarlane's, he's got damn near everything licensed and avail from the sens (needs more jersey but can't convince him to go to nhl.com and buy a white pro with his own money - too much for me at 80)

and a bloody smuckin lot of other nice swag (incl bobbleheads/pucks/etc)

he's currently helping manage for john taylor varsity boys basketball team. real nice kid :)

12-27-2004, 01:31 AM

too bad he had no comment on my *filler* ; )

sure hope he isn't *ignoring* me already :eek: :mad: :spawnorb: :p

and how about mcfarlane sp's. who's in for the 2fer on exclusive basketball figs? would be interested to combine shipping, or may not bother.(might start to wish i'd waited for my backboard lol)

maybe gary hint hint or astrodave hint hint or somebody else wants in. the new nba figs are sweet (do check them out) only got the vc2 reg, and restraining myself from 'chasing' yao and vc2 chases - lmao lets just say domo really like me in december. and i enjoyed the 15 or 16 nhl9 and 2 (gretz/cheeve) legends i *chased* and *** caught!! (and traded/sold@20 more than half of, so far...)

update on my time here - met 5 traders (incl jay mandalay) lots more pending, suppose i'm going strong and desperately reaching for pull cord to slow down the train..... but somehow the cords been cut and i can't quite reach......

gonna go play my new ps2 games. lookin for a 30 buck deal on nhl2005 if anyones seen any around (+ still avail, duh)

also got heritage 2 pack , and mayyyyy have an extra. much will depend on condition when it arrives :rolleyes: . other highlights include nhl2005 for 30 (usd tho). simpson helloween bendies (cool - too bad some of the other sets - ie. 'krusty show', 'power plant' were sold out tho )

on the plus side gave my gf family guy bendies - she opened (told her - her choice) i think she made the right choice cuz they're freakin sweet!! :cool: we *both* like them (hid her .20ct diamond, 14kt gold EARRINGS (wrapped) [hidden inside the 'bendies' box] &....she picked IT to open on christmas eve (11:30 ish before bed - slept like a gdam log its so quiiiiet out in arnes......)

F word. I've been having some awesome computer problems lately. It all started with the kind gesture of my buddy and his wife buying me that mp3 player for X-Mas. That inturn made me find out I needed drivers for my USB ports, which made me play around and play around and FINALLY be able to install Service Pack 2, which made nothing work on my computer, which made me format and then get like 200+ viruses and spyware crap cause I had forgot to turn my modem off. Luckily, I think, I got rid of the crap and not I just need to reinstall all my programs. I'm scared to try install SP2 again but we'll see how I'm feeling later tonight.

big thanks to gary and vic for inviting me out to clifton c.c.
sorry about jammin on robins, and also my *liberal* use of language when i found out my skate was broken :(

got some nice nike skates on amazon for 150 (reg 450) now, this seems like a good price to ME, and i know my size in nike (11E-11EE) so think i might go for it . will be routed through georgia, unfortunately.

will make some phone calls tomorrow around town. looking for sweet deal on 'higher end' skates that will last for looong time...:)

any tips on sales/stores?

and tim, think you could grab me a pin too, or shakes? sorry for trouble, but just can't go. may check moose store tomorrow for pucks (may just phone them too) and will advise if i get a good price on pucks here. still curious about 'value'/price of 'rink model' - sounds interesting.

how's your raycroft chase situation turco?

just got back from sport chek. ccm 952 supertacks for 180 :)(from 450!)
good luck finding sizes (i got 10.5 D). i likely would have got '1052's, but didnt have my size. i feel like i 'lucked out', probably one of the best deals in the store.

also picked up an easton cyclone graphite stick/blade combo for 70 :)(reg 150). don't like the 'lidstrom' blade, but have a thornton i'll swap it for.

the lidstrom blade may be available. brand new right handed graphite. reg price on these is 50, but l'll let it go for half that. pm if anyone in town is interested

Fuhr looks awesome. i'll reluctantly add him back on to my list. at least i don't want to open it tho.

Tim - no problems getting seats. i picked up a single for $20 from a large canadian covenent, and we were joined by my g/f's dad 5 minutes into the period... the game was a bit of a snoozer. i didn't think we were too inspired.

we actually sat with the dad of the first overall pick from finland (drafted by the rangers...)... don't know the name off hand. number 25 for the finland team i think it was.

picked up 5 shot glasses, will likely have an extra for sale if anyone was looking.

on a more pressing note - it seems like NHL 10 is on hold, whereas Legends 2 isn't... kinda bummed about that, i was really looking forward to Nash, Thornton, and Aebby (i *could* live without the rest.. but still wanted a few more).

on a sadder note - everytime i see a packaged Legends 2 fig... i want it... friggin hell. gotta stay focused. :)

my aim in attending this forum was to develop contacts with good 'traders', and i feel i've accomplished that somewhat. could very easily just * *.

we're taking an SUV and those things give me the heebieejebbies.

worst case scenario - we miss work on friday, get a hotel, and pick up extra tickets to all the games on the weekend :D (they were planning on staying down there anyway over saturday night)

To all those interested, here is the response I received back from Mark regarding Canadian shipping:

Hiya Joe -

Thanks for writing! The current shipping options include some new ones
(http://www.spawn.com/news/news1.aspx?id=12506 (http://www.spawn.com/news/news1.aspx?id=12506)) but I don't think they
changed things for Canadian collectors much. I don't have much to do with
the intrinsic workings of the collector's club or the Spawn Store, but I
forwarded your message to Dion Bozman. Let me know if he doesn't get back to
you and I'll follow up.

Thanks,

Mark Weber
Sports Manager
McFarlane Toys

sunovabiatch... well, just got the official word - we're not going down today, the wise ones have ruled that the storm is too much of a risk :( kinda sucks, but i'll live. the worst part is we get hit in the pocket for a Canada AND a USA game... which means i'm out $80 US. i'm gonna try calling the arena and see if they're feeling charitable, but the whole "no refunds" on my ticket kinda concerns me.

anyhoo. looks like i'll be watching movies all day. now that i'm up and all...

espin - guess that means i'm available today for a pickup/dropoff if your still around.

in lieu of going to the games... i'm going to empty my bank account on game worn world junior stuff...

i'm currently winning all the Barker stuff (realizing i could never touch the Phaneuf or Crosby stuff)... all though i'm thinking my bids won't last for a really long time.

we'll be dumping tickets to both games.. if someone had wanted tickets and wants to brave the weather, PM me asap.

Shakes: I'll be home in the afternoon so I should be able to drop off Hedgeduck later today. $15 is cool. PM me your address and I'll let you know a time later. We live pretty close together so it should be easy.

Espin - sounds cool like school... gotta find me some canajun cash.

and a friendly update from those people that predict the weather...


Winter storm warning for
city of Winnipeg continued

Heavy snow, freezing rain, strong winds and blowing snow to develop
across southern Manitoba.

This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are
Imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions...
Listen for updated statements.


A winter storm currently moving through the northern plains will cross North Dakota today, reaching northwestern Minnesota by evening. Precipitation associated with this storm is already spreading across the international border. Many areas of southern Manitoba, especially in the southwest and along the US border, will see significant snow, possibly as much as 20 centimetres and locally up to 40 over the next 24 hours. There is also freezing rain accompanying this system and some areas in southeastern Manitoba could get an hour or so today. As the low approaches and then moves off toward Lake Superior, strong winds will develop, as high as 50 km/h, and these winds will produce widespread blowing snow and near zero visibilities. Conditions will begin to improve Overnight in the Swan River and Dauphin regions and will proceed in A south and easterly direction as the day progresses Friday.


hopefully it'll be a slow day at work tomorrow...

just got back from the card store, decided to try the Heroes and Prospects.

didn't do too bad.

i got a silver Ryan Miller jersey card NP-7 (one of 60.. not sure if it's a serial number.. doesn't look like it)- two color black and white (diagonally across the card). it says it's a piece of a Buffalo Sabres jersey, which explains why his picture has a white americans jersey that has no black on it at all :)

and a heroes auto, of some guy i'd never heard of Elmer Lach...

i have two different fleurys too... lol apparently i ended up with 9 packs, (bought the last two from one box, and the rest from a new one). didn't do too bad - restrained myself from buying a box. although i had fun with these ones.

Still think you're a big baby. Kick the driver's backside:p (hoping it stays south. It's snowing pretty damn hard down here right now too, but not too much of that freezing rain stuff. Best part of working down here is I get to follow the storm home:rolleyes: )

Actually the Patrick Marleau Auto that I pulled is a Rookie Prism Die-Cut. It books for $25. Not bad for a 4.00 pack of old cards. I actually kinda like Marleau, so I was pleased that I got it.

ShakesO
12-30-2004, 07:16 PM
yeah but can you *sell* it for $25... i think the beckett is really there to make us feel like our collections are worth something lol.

my dad was pointing out to me that the purchases of all of Barkers gear would amount to the laptop that i want to get.... i friggin' hate logic. :)

Oh yeah, tongue in cheek for sure, I wouldn't wish that crap on my worst enemy. One hour and forty five minutes back from Carman today:eek: Good day not to be in Winkler, Espin. Most of the road was snow covered, about 3 inches deep. Traction was horrid. South perimeter by the bridge was strictly one lane, like driving through a cabbage field. Most people were sane, except for a couple of yahoos in four by fours, go figure. Just plain nutty, 40-80 KMH max, visibility was maybe 100 metres.

Your driver made the right call.

Barker is out for the remainder of the tournament with mono... that sucks. and doesn't help team canada with a very small defensive group now....

on the brighter side (for me).. maybe people will be less likely to buy his stuff off of ebay...

I hear you. To get home, I had to go to Canadian Tire and buy some better wipers; my old ones kept getting snow buildup. Then I passed through my back alley a few times and got stuck each time trying to get into my garage. Then I had to shovel my portion of the alley and dig a pathway to my garage......twice!

To boot, everything is probably going to freeze up this way for the next few months.
