They had McNabb and Strahan 2-packs for sure and there was a sealed box of NFL 2-packs but I dont remember if it was the same ones or not.

Man, I had the greatest time playing hockey last night. Great atmosphere, the guys were easy-going, lots of laughs and cheers. What a blast!

We put up all our X-mas stuff tonight and it looks rather festive in here. I have a 1 bedroom condo, so it's amazing that we can get a tree and other decorations up and still have room to move.

Now I'm going to drink Bailey's with coffee and watch Batman Begins....

[ShakesO]

sounds good espin. i can't wait to decorate my own place... i just want to be able to own it inlieu of paying rent on it... looks like i'll be waiting awhile :) if not for christmas 06, for sure christmas 07.

Anyone need NHL 9 variants? I have Sakic, Hull, Datsyk, Leetch and Sundin.

Also did anyone get any cases of the NHL 2 mini's? I'm looking for a cheap set if anyone has extras.

Last night I had a dream that I was killing zombies in this small western town and I was some azz-kicking cowboy priest guy. I blessed the towns water tower and we tipped it over so that the water would flow down the street and kill the zombies. (Holy water killed zombies in this particular dream...) Then we went house to house with shotguns and finished off the leftover zombies with head shots. Then my dream switched to The Rock and Kurt Angle kicking the crap out of each other and The Rock grabbed Angle's head and his bald cap came off and he had hair underneath. Then the other wrestler's were laughing that he had been pretending to be bald. I was sharing a hotel room with The Rock, but he asked me to get a separate room for the night so he could bang his girlfriend...

I think I should not have eaten nachos at midnight..........

[vicnsand]

Whew. It's been a long road, but I'm slowly climbing up the pool to respectability again. When gratzi changed the goalie stats, I'd nearly written myself off in the pool.

[ShakesO]

no worries espin - anytime im out past two am, whatever i was doing then - continues on in my dreams...

needless to say watching Dr. No at 2am was not the best call...


on a more topical note:

i'm looking to move a LW for a RW in fantasy hockey

please make an offer if you're interested in someone. i dropped darcy "minus 10 and counting" tucker, and my lw/rw switching system is kinda out the window now.

thanks :)

[Stiller 35]

On a side note if your looking to cash in...

US is having major shortages for the XBOX 360.... invest in 3 or 4, sell them on Ebay, some are going for $800-1000 just for the premium system alone. Thats like a 300-500 profit.. not to bad!!

[GAMAX1001]

I cleared out my PM box.

Turco, thanks for the offer for playing in net, PM your number if you want, just in case I need you another time.

Stiller is still my main back up, barring injury

I went to the card show 2 times on the weekend, the 1st time was with my 3 year-old, he made the experience really rough for, so I come back and picked up a Iggy auto and 2 Nazzy auto's, spent $35.

A guy there sold me the Hemsky/Hejduk 15/25 dual auto from All World for 20 bucks! I was pleased considering they usually go 35-60 US on ebay.

[GAMAX1001]

There are deals to be found at the card show, you just have to know who will bargain with you and who won't, some guys refuse to budge on their stuff. There are some guys that will accept 50% book value of Beckett.

The Iggy Auto card I got books at $30, I paid $10.

Nazzy Sign of the times auto from this year $10, books at $20
2004 Priority Signing UD TO Memo. show signing # out of 50, paid $15 , books for $30

are they easy to get in the city?

i'd be down for that... it'd sure help me pay for my camera stuff.

[CTO Inc]

I know all the EB's are sold out of the XBOX 360.

[ShakesO]

bestbuys and walmarts should have at least *some* on hand for tomorrow. there would be riots otherwise...

anyone know if they are putting a limit on the number you can get?

i'd stake out walmart i think (just because it's closer - tho bestbuy will probably be better prepared for it). that, and maybe after i could check out the SPs :p :D

[GAMAX1001]

Does anyone here know when McDonald's is going to be selling their hockey cards again.

What company did they go with this year and pictures would be nice.

If anyone knows, can they post the link.

Thanks

[ShakesO]

gamax - there is a link to the mcdonalds card in the hockey cards thread i think. you might have to scroll a few pages back. but it's in there.

I looked, but could find it

[GAMAX1001]

I was in Hangers at Portage Place, they also have NBA and NFL 2-packs for $16. Picked up a few NHL chase figs as well.

Gary - I'm considering your Kipper. I'll let you know when I decide (dont hold it for me, if i decide I want it and you still have it, we'll go from there) Thanks.

Just let me know on the Kipper, I have lots of others figures too, so just keep posting what you want and may be I might have it.

Thanks

[gratzi]

Gary, which Iginla card was it that you picked up?

[TURCO_35]

UD made them and they were available today

[AstroDave]

Yeah the limits are one.I'm comming strapped tommorow just in case anybody is scalping before I get one.

[AstroDave]

Plus once the flood of Xbox 360's hit ebay tommorow they will go for regular price or just above!

[Stiller 35]

LMAO!!

I was driving home from work... already 3 people in line at Best Buy for XBOX 360, what a joke!!

Like Astro said, once these are flodded on ebay prices will drop, but on the other hand once people have no system in hand in the USA, they will do anything to get it!!

[AstroDave]

Dude your kidding right? They always release units staggered when hyping a new system just to add interest!

[zoomer]

Yeah the limits are one.I'm comming strapped tommorow just in case anybody is scalping before I get one.


going to buy a 360 on the first day? are you sure you have permission ? :D

or, when's the trip to europe?

sad and shocking news/footage re: jiri fischer (D - Det)

doubly sad because he's been doing so well for me in fantasy hockey

- the rest of the squad will have to pull up their socks :P

[bigsexy_j]

morning, who's getting the x-box?

[ShakesO]

i read about the lady at bestbuy in line at 745 yesterday...

i'm so glad i decided to sleep in.

even if i was a gamer, i'd still sell it and wait til january.

unicity walmart only had 10 last night when i called. staffers probably bought them this morning :p

i shoulda told my gramma in flin flon to go get in line and buy one this morning :D

[ShakesO]

zooms - you have a 70 or 80 pt lead on me in the FH. i have no idea how you're getting the consistent contribution... i need those sens to start getting their 10 goal games back in order :D

[ShakesO]

that fischer thing is crazy. it's good thing rescheduled the game... that's classy.

i'm not sure what microsoft is doing with the xbox, unless they are just downright lying about the supply to build up hype (think of all the free advertising they are getting right now)... but why not start the launch in august and flood the market for christmas?

on a side note - i've come to the conclusion that i want to own a running store. i really like running, and working with people - i've got the schooling to be able to setup a chain of stores if i wanted to. i have connections to be able to get running clinics and stuff going on, and i would love to organize races... it would be good.. plus i'd have to run all the time.

needles to say, i don't think i'm gonna be able to do a deskjob the next 40 years. i must aquire capital... (my other preference of being paid to watch hockey doesn't seem likely)

[GAMAX1001]

Gary, which Iginla card was it that you picked up?

I believe its the Be-a-player Ultimate Memorbilia Auto from the year before. Iggy is in his Red Jersey, :D

[GAMAX1001]

Anyone here see McD's selling hockey cards yet??

If yes, please post the location you saw them at.

Thanks

[ShakesO]

Yup.....I like scalpers!! N.....O.....T......!

[madcracker]

Crap. Missed out on Moose tickets. Congrats to those who scored.

[AstroDave]

This is the kinda ******** I hate about people that have inside connections! You couldnt be happy with getting just one? I guess your no better than any of the other ******* scalpers winnipeg has! Sorry for the rant this just pisses me off!






http://members.shaw.ca/jbatalle/EBAY/pyr.jpg

my cousin and my haul yesterday.:D :D :D :D :D

[himalayan25]

And you wonder why you can never find any chase figures at these stores!!!!! I would love to send this to a few people and hear their opinion on this! Motherf******!!!!!!!!!!

[tru25]

hey man this wasnt bought at tru(my store only got 3 premiums to cover presells, and 5 extra cores to sell), this was preordered at futureshop

[tru25]

no inside connections what so ever. my cousin just has the money.

[tru25]

And you wonder why you can never find any chase figures at these stores!!!!! I would love to send this to a few people and hear their opinion on this! Motherf******!!!!!!!!!!
and if your assuming i get chase figures from my store, i dont.

[AstroDave]

I can see how your cousin needed to preorder 9 systems. It's funny that I was told at Future shop that pre-order limits were set at 1 and they couldnt even honor me the one I preordered.

[zoomer]

**** xbox
i'm gonna go look for an atari 2600. love those joysticks. 1 button ! man oh man those were the days



...btw that picture is way too big

[moosefan98]

hey shakes any luck on the preorder password for brooks & dunn?

[ShakesO]

sorry dude... no password yet.. unless i've missed it. i'll scroll through tonight and make sure it wasn't sent to me before the announcement.


further thought has me actively pursuing my running store agenda... the business model is starting to come up in my head.

after finding out yesterday that someone actually went a head with a GPS tracking system for pets (so they don't get lost) - i've seen two of my ideas go live since college. i get the feeling i should move on one of my own eventually...


zoomer - i totally agree with you. i love my nintendo. i hope it holds true that the next generation will allow for downloads of all the previous nintendo games ever made. it would be the best system ever.

[GAMAX1001]

Atari 2600 was the boom.

The best was Kaboom with the paddle instead of joystick.

That was a fun game

[bigsexy_j]

there is absolutly no need for 9 systems! Maybe an extra 1 or 2 but 9. This sorta crap is why people who wanted one don't even have them.

Also I have yet to see a PW for Broks and Dunn as well so I don't think one has come out yet.

[moosefan98]

thanks guys

[himalayan25]

tru25 your so full of sh@t it isnt even funny !!! Dave just for your info Future shop told me the same thing !!! It was the same limit all over! Well I will cut out going to that toys r scalped ooops I mean us . Not wasting my gas to only find out that all the good stuff is in an employees trunk!!! I cant wait till I get ahold of some upper management at tru and explain this to them !!!! or is that just the perks at working at a retail store ???????

Nice pull, so far I've pulled 4 of them

[Stiller 35]

Ya I feel bad for all the people who didn't get a XBOX 360 on their pre-order, that's just wrong that people were allowed to get like 9 systems...

I could see getting 2 or 3, but not anymore... You gotta feel bad for the gamers that enjoy the XBOX 360 for gaming and not for selling, but hey who am I to say not to make cash, as I posted earlier on how you could make money selling them..

I didn't actually go out and get 360's, I just posted an idea and how you could..

Astrodave, if you want, I have a system at Rogers Video when it comes in, I could give it to you if you want, just pay me cost for it.. get back to me, not sure when its coming, might be in tomorrow... and yes it is the premium pack, as I would not even consider the core.. not sure what Future Shops policy is for pre-orders?

[tru25]

[tru25]

and its things like this that get people all PO'ed and leave this board, i came to this board to meet fellow collectors and let them in on the insides and let them know what we get. and here you are assuming people like me are scalpers. what just cause i work at TRU? o0o0o0o0 i scalped my whole 5 figures.

[himalayan25]

yes the boardies here are real impressed with you moron! Trust me they all think the same of you !!!! jerk off!!!!

Dood, I'm pretty interested in it. I might have to wait until payday. As long as it's not too smashy, I'll take it. Is there damage on the card or the bubble? The cards are hard to keep nice on Unleashed, but the bubbles are pretty sturdy.

Would any of you wrestling fans out there be interested in an auto'ed Jericho figure and an auto'ed Benoit figure? Both are auto'ed on the clamshells and both cards are still pretty mint. I have pics of both figures if you are interested.

Thornton's now a Shark!?!, if they can move him there's hope for Luongo to leave Florida

[GAMAX1001]

Hi Zoomer,

Are you playing ice hockey this weekend???

Please call me or leave a post.

Thanks

[ShakesO]

Thornton's now a Shark!?!, if they can move him there's hope for Luongo to leave Florida

c'mooooon luongo to the Oil :)

[GAMAX1001]

Luongo should go to the Canucks, then they can will the cup

[ShakesO]

Luongo should go to the Canucks, then they can will the cup

if by "will the cup" you mean "win the cup", and by "win the cup" you mean: get involved in a horrible bus accident causing the permanent injury of Todd Bertuzzi (but no other canucks) and spurring a chain of events that sees Spezza make the Olympic team, Phaneuf win rookie of the year, and the Oilers make it to the Stanley Cup finals to lose to the Ottawa Senators in 6 games... then sure, Canucks can have Luongo.

we're completely on the same page.

[zoomer]

need one of those joe thornton 2 retro bruins black chase figs

i guess its a little late for a sharks chase

[ShakesO]

the chase have been found already?

[zoomer]

i just need a Clemens for red sox figures. lmk :)

[zoomer]

so

topic of discussion to get this board moving along (and in anticipation of nhl 10, and to a lesser degree nba 9)

what's everybodys favorite figure they currently own?

sportspick, non-sport, 6", 12", 18" , etc?

i'm really liking my loose datsyuk lately, just an awesome pose!

[freezerbox]

I really like my Garnett 2 figure. I'm kind of partial to the Bettis figure, although I don't own it. I also like the Kariya figure, I wish they'd make an update to scale of that with another player.

[zoomer]

damn retail employees buying all the white beliveaus bump

[zoomer]

for momc sp's , i think my fave is my logo brodeur. selanne/jets card may be a close second. basketball is definitely 'pistol' pete hawks. football, well, i only have favres (need a white favre1).

non-sportwise, i really like my celtic stealth predator (looks even better than the first stealth predator), also family guy death 'skull'. marvel - phasing ghost rider, and also the new marvel select carnage (i need an ultimate venom - anyone?)

18" art asylum Eddie (iron maiden) and 18" marv sin city (one tough SOB)

[zoomer]

also, i know someone who may be wrestling in an AWE battle royal this week. or he may be on the lower card (not sure yet). it's cool to have wrestling back in winnipeg.

does anyone remember watching rick martel run around assiniboine park with mean gene on his shoulders, way back in the day on AWA ? too funny.

i'm almost interested in wrestling again. screw vince

edit - 'watching' wrestling again

AWE is shooting at u of m tues/wed for tv/payperview.

[zoomer]

espin - did you ever get Your white beliveau?

help...

[Crashz]

Trying to get rid of the rest of my un-needed figs. I have pretty mcuh and entire set of NHL8 so if anyone needs anyone from that set I'm selling em off for $5 each and the goalies $7 flat. Anyone want a Macinnis or Roenick $5 each. Hossa Chase $8.

[davetheking75]

anybody know anywhere with outdoor ice yet?

Freezerbox and Astro - still interested in leftwich?

[zoomer]

outdoor ice at mayfair recreation centre (out front). kinda bumpy, no nets yet. i just went and checked and the lights are on tho. so should i go for a skate........hmmm

[bigsexy_j]

out door ice at river heights (some bumpy spots) and heritage.

[ShakesO]

heritage is online? badass.

zoomer - my current favorite fig is my joe sakic 2 all star custom circa 2001 in colorado. it's so great.

otherwise i'm eagerly awaiting my aebischer. at which point i'll call it a collection until further avs are released (for update sake) and my spezza and heatley sens role out. my hasek sens is in the mail :)

in the meantime, i'm buying hockey cards (i think i'm done except for a few rookies until UD series 2), i have disney world on boxing day - and then i have to start saving for my business :) eventually i'm going to have to go P/T to get all my research done.

[bigsexy_j]

wow the Eagles did great last night:rolleyes:


the white Aebi looks great:)

[espin]

Nash and Aebi chases look great!
