Winnipegers......post here!

[vicnsand]

Well, I figured we should start this up as a temporary thread and just sit and wait. Maybe the original thread can be salvaged from the purging.

Time for a head count. Who's present?

[vicnsand]

Also, if any of you pm'd me before I could respond to you, please send me another one. All my pms got wiped out.

[zoomer]

present

[6five]

whoa, original thread got wiped out? Has anyone emailed Mark about this?

[davetheking75]

this is such bull and im here

[davetheking75]

we were almost up to 400 pages and the poof gane

[AstroDave]

That sucks guys! Zoomer any luck anywhere else today? 6five is toommorow night good for meeting?

[jwtragic]

Im' still here.

Was anoyne at the Juniors today? Got a chance to talk to Crosby and got a couple wicked pics of him. Really nice guy. Also talked with local boys Nigel Dawes, Cam Barker and Dustin Boyd.

Anyone doing any hounding at the Juniors? I'd love to hear some stories

[6five]

tomrorrow is cool, i'll give you a buzz...

[AstroDave]

sounds good dude after 7 would be best!

[peaceshark]

What happened to the thread? any news?

[espin]

Man, the thread is gone? That's really sad!

I swear that thing was like a diary of the last year and a half of my life!

Let's hope it turns up...... :(

[vicnsand]

The loss of the thread is ridiculous. How could it get wiped out when it was always among the active threads?

I'm surprised that Turco isn't on here yet.

Btw, is NBA 7 in the city yet?

[gratzi]

I'm here, did anyone contact Mark and ask him what happened? If it's gone, I hope they wiped away anything else that was really big. At least ours was useful!

[gratzi]

You mean the rep threads are still here and our thread is gone.....g-ay. I emailed Jon Goff and Mark so hopefully they can fix this.

[moosefan98]

I'm here (if anyone cares!!)

crashz I hope u got my post about not spending 100 dollars on skates.if u didn't I'll re write it for u.

[6five]

sounds good dude after 7 would be best!
you got it...

[6five]

Btw, is NBA 7 in the city yet?
haven't seen anything yet, but hopefully Jay will have my case this weekend otherwise it's another two week wait...

[zoomer]

no luck anywhere today but i didn't look too far. wanted to strangle someone at zellers. lets just say i have a good idea that the boxes are being cherrypicked and scalped by employees. wish i had evidence to pass on to mcfarlane. very unfair to honest collectors who spend A LOT of time looking and waiting (reasonably patiently). spotted 2 roy williams variants at unicity walmart (didnt know they were variants until i got home-they're hidden with the hockey, but not by me)

this missing thread is total bs.

end of rant

[zoomer]

i think my rep is wiped too but not that i had much or really care....

[ShakesO]

just got back from the exhibition game. each period viewed from a different seat - got some half decent pictures (for a camera with a 2.2 optical zoom :P) hopefully i can get them up.

i plan on hounding next week a bit during my holidays :) i will almost for sure be at sunday's round at the highlander... not sure where the players would come from, so not sure how to get anything signed.

hopefully if one of my player bench pictures turn out, i'll print it off on a 8x11 deal or whatever and get it signed up.

bought a canada car flag - friggin' $29. i think i got robbed.

[ShakesO]

what's marks e-mail again? i can't even believe we would get pruned... that's horrible.

[ShakesO]

well my pictures look reasonably decent - unforunately i didn't white balance... i have some photo shopping to do. i just have to take it to a quality picture printing place.

ps. WinnipeGGers - two g's ;)

[ShakesO]

we could start a revolt. reply to every thread posted with a "bring back the winnipeggers thread" post. :)

[AstroDave]

Nice hat dude love 2 see people all over wearing Jets merchandise!

[AstroDave]

Hey Zoomer are you sure you saw Roy Williams chase's? The white ones are the regs.

[davetheking75]

i started the revolt by posting in the update

[ShakesO]

see the Arizona thread... :)

[gratzi]

I emailed btoh Mark and John Goff so we'll see what their excuse is. :D

[ShakesO]

post the addresses so we can collectively "ask" them :)

[gratzi]

jgoff@mcfarlane.com
mweber@mcfarlane.com

[ShakesO]

1 page down... 399 to go.

[gratzi]

I forgot to make the comment that the rep threads are still around but we got deleted, I just said some other threads.

[goOILERSgo]

Well I guess it's goodbye to the old thread...

I'm here
I was so excited last night when I sniped an auction for a MOMC Black Vick for 80 (had 60 in there from a corrected gretzky)...but alas there was a stupid reserve on it

Joe, selling any extras from your NBA7Case?
AstroDave, just let me know when you want to pick up the Pujols

[Crashz]

Jeebus, did any of the other big threads get knocked off?

[Crashz]

Did they say why it was removed?

[ShakesO]

i don't know why us over the Rep threads that are at 15,000 posts... it's brutal.

oh well, we carry onwards with winnipeggers v.2.0

[zoomer]

astrodave - thanks for the heads up. i kinda thought so, but some dumbasses on ebay are selling them as variants and threw me off... beware of ebay.....

[zoomer]

maybe we should race our way back to 400 pages in revolt

[ShakesO]

well anyhoo - we have NHL 10, Legends, and NHL 11 to beef up the thread before the slow summer...

World Juniors too...

tim - which WHL jersey were you looking at for christmas?

[gratzi]

I still have all my rep.

[Crashz]

This new phone is giving me a hard-on
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/hellomoto/experience/v3/flash/features.shtml?

[zoomer]

would likely take an extra vc2 from nba7 if one were available. just to open. doubt i would pick one up off the shelf at a store though. well, who knows what the hell i'll buy some days. always keep the receipts!!

[zoomer]

has anybody emailed? should I? (i guess i realize this is my choice, just curious who's said what so far)

[espin]

Mourning the Peg thread........:(

If I locate an Alfie chase and a retro Leetch I'll have a chase set from NHL9. So much for me not liking this series. Damn plastic addiction..............

[gratzi]

This was my email:

Was wondering why the Winnipeg thread was deleted today? There are a bunch more threads that are still there that probly weren't as useful or needed as much as ours. Any chance of it coming back or is it gone for good?

[zoomer]

gratzi - thanks

looking for some help with my biggest grail - team canada box sets
doesn't necessarily need to be unopened, but would like the whole set
can anyone suggest a fair price to pay, or know of any available in town? any feedback would be appreciated. i've seen them going on ebay for $200 usd for the set (+30 insured shipping from ontario/quebec)

just might be able to afford this one for a happy happy new year (also anniversary present to myself - i deserve it though as she may be getting the ring i mentioned on the ahem, previous winnipeg thread)

[zoomer]

gratzi - just emailed to both addresses - quoted your email (in appropriate quotation marks and attributed to you, hope you don't mind), typed 'ditto' and signed my name

this is how my subject line read:
winnipeg collector disenfranchised by scalping store employees and wounded about missing thread

[Cvette]

Well, my 2nd jets jersey, white one this time is on its way finally.

[bigsexy_j]

Well I sure missed an interesting day, board goes down and we lost the thread. I really hope Mark responds to his e-mails. We should make posts about this

J

[zoomer]

which jersey did you get. i have a kris king that i got in 1996 (ccm replica). it's in great shape and has all the numbers and the 'C'. people may have seen me in it at the 50 cent concert, or more recently at the tragically hip. i was wasted both times

[Cvette]

i just got the regular white jersey. i already have the blue one and i'm looking at picking up the one with the older logo

[ShakesO]

morning bump...

[zoomer]

good to see people voicing their displeasure on various threads......keep it up!!!

[zoomer]

any comments on this?:

[vicnsand]

zoomer, I think Mandalay has the Team Canada sets. Don't know what they're going for, though.

[RILEYSROMPERS]

I cant believe they lost the peggers thread but keep the REP thread??? Crap... Is anyone getting Junior autographs???? Id like a Crosby stick blade... if anyone can hook me up id be forever in there debt..

[Senk]

A guy I work with is looking to get rid of 2 tickets to the FIN - SWI game on December 21.
They are good seats - 2nd row beside the penalty box. If anyone is interested, let me know.

[CTO Inc]

damn that V3 phone is sweet. i think i found my next upgrade.

[GAMAX1001]

Thanks to 6five(a-Clause) for the 4 more jerseys today, only $200+ out of pocket. Stupid NHL.com sale, I just went nuts.

Oh well, the Jets Selanne jersey looks pretty sweet, too bad it doesn't have the goals for kids patch on it. What do you think Crashz???

[zoomer]

crap and mandalay's not open during the week right?

can anyone advise the exact address (can likely find it, but not 100% sure of location lol)

[zoomer]

seen goals for kids patch going for like $30 or so on ebay. not to boast but my king jersey has one....

see you found us gary...any good icetime lately?

[gratzi]

Got my email back from Mark. He doesn't know what happened, it was only supposed to get threads not responded in for over a month. Thread is gone for good thoguh.

[zoomer]

page three (you just can't stop us)

sorry for all the posts , but if we keep pointing out things like this it will help build up our post count ; )

[zoomer]

gratzi - thanks for info - did you ask him for some compensation for us? (i'm sure we all have ideas lmao)

[GAMAX1001]

Thanks

[gratzi]

gratzi - thanks for info - did you ask him for some compensation for us? (i'm sure we all have ideas lmao)
No I'm gonna leave that one to you.

[espin]

I'm gonna have to come out of "post *****" retirement to bring the Peg thread back to life. We should delete the Hockey Card Thread and that would get Turco back over here to get this thing moving at breakneck speed.

Has anyone got a retro Leetch or chase Alfie?

[6five]

crap and mandalay's not open during the week right?

can anyone advise the exact address (can likely find it, but not 100% sure of location lol)
don't know the exact address, it's in the strip mall just north of Inkster on Mandalay -- right beside the video store.

[Cvette]

I'm still looking for a Jets Selanne or Canadiens Roy.

I also have chase Raycroft still available.

[ShakesO]

well it's good to know we weren't formally targeted...

in other news SENK you got PM re those tickets...

making reasonable progress with my school project - got 2 big industry contacts, now we just need to find someone that knows how to make the stuff... at least we're getting somewhere :)

[ShakesO]

sweet - i think i just landed tickets to the canada - swiss game, right behind the penalty box!

i was going to order through ticket master, but the tickets were $26 (with the print ticket option) for the 306 level!!! the other tickets were 32!

anyway - just waiting to hear back from the guy and i'll be picking them up hopefully :)

[zoomer]

looking for leetch and raycroft to complete my chase set. of course i won't have the alfreddsson (all my sens go to my brother) but i can go visit it (he wont be opening either)

haven't heard back from the ebay seller trying to pass off an apparent roy williams reg as a variant with BIN $40. when and if i do i'll post the reply (and my email)

[zoomer]

and i was right about mandalay location. was only there once - about 12 or so years ago!! and not looking for hockey figures. thanks a lot for responses. anyone have an opinion on fair price for team canada?

[CTO Inc]

I think he's asking at lease $200 for the set...maybe higher. i haven't asked him about it for a long time.

[bigsexy_j]

Can anyone give me the links to the NHL.com super sale. I'm having trouble finding the nordiques unis, and my buddy wants a Theodore.

Thanks

[GAMAX1001]

I got 2 Winnipeg Jets jerseys in 1 day.

It's been a sweet day.

[fooge]

Wow, quite the sale at NHL.com I think the reasoning is to get rid of all the CCM/Koho stuff to make room for the new Reebok stuff once the NHL decides to play hockey again.

[GAMAX1001]

Wow, quite the sale at NHL.com I think the reasoning is to get rid of all the CCM/Koho stuff to make room for the new Reebok stuff once the NHL decides to play hockey again.
Yup, that's where I bought all of my jerseys from, then I made 2 deals with the guy at Uptown Sports for a Vintage Canunks and Winnipeg Jets (Hawerchuk era) jerseys. :D

[freezerbox]

Did every long running thread get deleted?

[espin]

NHL 10 wants:

Nash both
Aebi Reg
Theo Chase
Thornton Chase
Iggy Reg

[davetheking75]

who on here did i buy my ser 1 brodeur from?

[zoomer]

gary: you truly never stop working! good work and nice take on the error hull. did you get what you were hoping for?

[zoomer]

half the stuff i want on nhl.com is not avail in my size. damn, guess i waited too long. do have a few things in my cart tho, bad news is i don't get $$$$ til friday. hope the stuff is still there : |

looking at 2 jerseys - nyi rep w/#22 (they won't do 22 and bossy - so i guess i'll have to get the name done in town) - kings auth white jersey w/#15 and my name (gary could maybe guess? it'll be a sweet jersey) - and a nyi slam hat (to match the jersey)

[ShakesO]

sweet! landed a steal on the can/swiss tix. even cancelled the auction to save on ebay fees, should be picking them up later tonight.

it's gonna be my girl and i's 2.5 year anniversary (it's fun because it's right around christmas time), it'll be the last time it's considered a 'big deal'. we'll do dinner downtown and then head to the game, which'll be a lot of fun.

anyhoo. i'm stoked :) now i gotta get some friggin' homework done.

[GAMAX1001]

gary: you truly never stop working! good work and nice take on the error hull. did you get what you were hoping for?
I got a lot more that what I was expecting on the Hull error, which was nice b/c I've been spending way too much money lately. Time to slow down.

[Trapper7]

DTK, you got the Brodeur from me.

Zoomer, I'd say a fair price on the TC sets is $130-170.

I picked up 5 jerseys from NHL.com as well, went back this am to grab the 83 Fuhr Campbell jersey but it must have sold between last night and this morning, oh well, saved myself $180.

Astro Dave, T.O is still waiting for you.

6Five, I still owe you a fig, need anything these days?

[TheRaven1569]

hey guys if my shannon sharpes arrived in winnipeg at 1:23 pm any chance they will come today?

[zoomer]

Trapper7 - great to know. don't suppose you got some for sale? (i think i know the answer). i guess i'm not in a huge rush if i can save $50, but what if they put out another team canada set and the price of the 2002's jumps? (guess i'd be screwed because i want them to make more sets lmao)

anyone who can help me find a good price will be rewarded (i promise)

[Trapper7]

Zoomer, mine are not for sale.

[zoomer]

i'm also eyeing the red alternate team canada jersey at nhl.com - no customization

as far as that delivery, if it's canada post it'll be there between...... right.....now, and sometime next week (but not trying to jinx it lol)

[zoomer]

the thread is starting to smoke.........where's that 190 proof grain alchohol gone.....

[GAMAX1001]

From nhl.com I got:

Turco white away jersey
Luongo Blue home Jersey
Lehtonen blue Third Jersey
Fleury white Away jersey
Miller red 3rd jersey
AND team jersey's
Turco, you spend more money than any other 15 year old kid that I know off. You spend more money than most of the adults I know. X-mas must be really nice for you.

[zoomer]

yeah turco, why didn't you buy that freakin sweet roy lot from minnesota (incl 3rd jersey) - $450 (or so, i think) is nothing -spend that mouldy money!!)

i think i smell page 4

[zoomer]

my exact question to ebay seller and their exact response:

Dear ,

You asked:
"please advise the variant on this figure. from what i can tell this is the regular version. i hope you are not being misleading in your listing"

he has a white jersey on the blue and white is the regular

(??)

[ShakesO]

man oh man that jersey load is steep tim!

i'm looking at some mini helmets - too bad the zambonis are on sale lol i like those :)

[ShakesO]

i didn't realize the prices are so low... what were the shipping charges like? are we gonna get killed on duty?

[zoomer]

had trouble tracking down a sens zamboni last year, and a sens hummer (gotta love those ; ) this year - but found em both

the sens semi-trailer is the funniest - honestly lmao

[zoomer]

that's cool turco - not intendin to harass - but i have to wonder what will be under the tree to open as a surprise. anything you've asked santa for that you don't know you're getting (besides hockey tickets i suppose - sorry, guess that hurts)

[ShakesO]

i'm looking at a Blue Jackets authentic (the reg only comes in XXL)... too bad personalizing is so expensive :(

looks like a lot of stuff is already gone...

[davetheking75]

the personalizing is soo worth it

[davetheking75]

my kovalchuk, zetterberg, and gaborik jerseys agree with me too

[zoomer]

shakeso - agree with everything you said (cept i looked at em half an hour ago)- which one you lookin at - white?, or 3rd? i liked em both.......sucks to find things you like and then click and they only have med or xxl........

[ShakesO]

DTK - did you get a shipping quote on it?

[davetheking75]

i bought those jerseys at RCS, i was just saying the customizing is worth the money

[Trapper7]

Shakes, no duty, ships from Canada.

[ShakesO]

im' getting my All Star Joe custom... from the 'rents and a Arena chair from my g/f...

after that - i have noooo clue.

[AstroDave]

Hey Turco dont mean to sound rude but sounds like your parents are pretty good to you! I wouldnt complain too much about not going to the WJC's. Appreciate before its too late!

[davetheking75]

im pretty sure that i am getting a jets selanne jersey after that no clue

[Crashz]

damn that V3 phone is sweet. i think i found my next upgrade.
Some dude on ebay emailed me wanting to sell for $270 USD dlvd but with Western Union transfer. I dont trust anything outside eBay channels especially bnot with the Western Union fees. Paypal maybe. Maybe I'll see if my friend in China can find a cheap one over there. Cell phones are cheaper than water over there.

[zoomer]

does your friend work at mcfarlane. tell him to learn to paint lol

[AstroDave]

6five tonight still work for you give me a call!

[ShakesO]

Crashz - Western Union doesn't have any fraud protection either... so watch yourself.

i think i'm going to hang on to my money for a bit and see what happens with the world junior stuff.

[GAMAX1001]

If you guys are going to personalize your jerseys, go to Uptown Sports in the walkway b/w the Bay and Portage Place. It will be much cheaper than River City. He outsources the work, it's probably the same place where River City gets them done, but at a fraction of the cost. He charged $10 above cost for getting my Iginla done.

The embroidering company is really busy right now, so I sugguest that you wait until the new year.

I plan and will get a Naslund in the new year.

[zoomer]

cheaper than getting my kings jersey done at nhl.com? 6 letter, 2 periods, #15 on back and sleeves

[zoomer]

is quality the same?

[zoomer]

i'll bet. i wonder if it would be better to order blanks and get them faster (i assume?) and get the lettering etc. in town. maybe gary knows the turnaround time for uptown?

[zoomer]

cvette - you get my pm? (not sure about things working around here)

[ShakesO]

Yes, I did. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you today. Had a hectic day. I'll try to get in contact with you tomorrow.

[6five]

sweet! landed a steal on the can/swiss tix. even cancelled the auction to save on ebay fees, should be picking them up later tonight.
cool, me and GAMAX are going to that game too, seats in section 215, maybe we'll see ya there...

Trapper, I'm not really looking for any new stuff other than anything i'll be missing from NBA 7. I'll let you know.

[Crashz]

Uptown cost me about $40 after taxes for my Bomber Jersey. Would have cost well over $60 at the Bomber Shop. Dunno bout the NHL Jerseys tho

[Crashz]

I think we got decent seats for the Can/Fin Game. Sect 127 Row 14 seats 7-10. Not right behind the goal but in the corners. Should get a pretty good vantage point from there.

[Crashz]

NP Dave, hope the figure is to your liking.

I need to get my hands on a good Superman bust.

[ShakesO]

crashz - there really aren't any *bad* seats in there.

i'm behind the penalty box... i know it's exhibition - but maybe we'll get all crazy dressed up :)

we forgot to get face paint during halloween again - but in grand forks we're gonna tear the roof off.

actually - my friends went with a group, there were 40 of them, and they got sponsored by some company i guess, and they all got red canada jerseys to wear to the game... they will likely be the loudest group of people in the arena in GF.

[Crashz]

I'm gunna wear my Jets Jersey

[ShakesO]

i personally would prefer to get my hands on wonder womans bust... but hey, take what you can get right? :)

[ShakesO]

lets take tim to the game and get him plastered :)

"anyone seen a 15 year old kid screaming profanities about ovechkin? yeah, we're missing him..."

[TURCO_35]

Sounds like a plan

[ShakesO]

"canaja... can.. a jaaaaaah... cann..naaa.. ja?" screams tim running down the concourse with a canada flag cape... heading straight for a poll...


which reminds me, i need to dig up my flag for cape wearing purposes :)

oh wait - we're doing anniversary dinner first lol, we may not get to dress up.. that'd look pretty funny in a nice restaurant... head to toe white... maple leafs everywhere.

[ShakesO]

i would like to take this time to point out that tim and i, are nearing on new milestones - post 8000, and 3000 (respectively).

well i can't just go to bed now... lets get this done :)

[Crashz]

You know I've never counted my actual posts before

[ShakesO]

Crashz - it says in the corner... you're at 3,863 (and counting).

7 more to go :)

[Crashz]

This is the *****
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/wickedcoolstuff/sustbyjimlee.html

I think that is my new non-sports grail

[ShakesO]

those busts are pretty cool... maybe when i graduate i can buy some comics again.

did you read the Hush line?

[gratzi]

I really wanted to cash in on that nhl.com sale but there weren't any Calgary jerseys on the site. Oh well I'm happy with my red one, just wanted to add to the collection.

[ShakesO]

yeah - i want the columbus - but who knows. money is a bit tight. maybe it'll still be there around christmas.

i have money in the bank - but it's like, you can only spend it once :)

NHL 10 is coming still...

[espin]

Went to the Cad/Bisons exibition game at Morty's Phonebooth tonight. Pretty cool! Juniors won 6-3.

I'm going jersey crazy on NHL.com. I think I'm going to buy five of them....

[ShakesO]

espin - let me know if you do, maybe we can save on the shipping or something?

[Crashz]

Yeah I have both the hardcovers for Hush. I just completed the entire Superman/Batman line as well. Actually first 6 I have in the hardcover format and I have the rest from 7 onwards. Sperman.Batman is an awesome read too. Cool stories, a few What-if's mixed in. Right now they are in the arc where they are seeing what would have happened if both Superman and Batman were brought up to Rule the world. and the arc is about the 2 ruling earth

[espin]

Sharks 3rd
White Panthers
White Blue Jackets
White Thrashers
Black Caps

[ShakesO]

...superman batman? i only ever saw a toy thing for that... so it's just messed up stories?

the last line i read was Cataclysm.

my two favorites ever are the Age of Apocalypse, and then the Onslaught... kinda tied together in the really longer run... but amazing. then i went all DC and got into nightwing :)

[gratzi]

espin buddy, I picked up that Rise and Fall of ECW DVD today. Me, you and razkor will have to get together some weekend and have a few beers while watching it.

[ShakesO]

so, who wants my 3000th post to respond to their post?

2999... i only get one crack at this.

[Crashz]

Trying to stage a No Limit Holdem game on Boxing day after work if anyone is interested. Will probably be like a $10 buy in. Winner takes all, 2nd place gets their buy-in back.

[Crashz]

Amazing it took 2 days get up to 5 pages.

[zoomer]

hey shakes , got a question, my screens a little blurry, um how many posts have you made?

[ShakesO]

THREE FRIGGIN THOUSAND :D

[ShakesO]

and page 6 too boot lol

[zoomer]

i'm planning on buying thursday night after midnight, when i get paid. 4 jerseys, 2 hats = 450 approx (inc ship of 30). regular price shipped i worked out to about $960(!!!!)

would be in for combined shipping if anyone wants to meet me friday - don't want to wait too long as stuff disappears.....

[ShakesO]

only 390 pages to go.

[zoomer]

good morning and i slept horribly and feel like **** (not sure why) bump.
could be anxious that somebody's got their eye on my jerseys! less than 16 hrs til i can confirm my order!

[zoomer]

8 thousand for turco - much too quiet this guy lol. look at me approaching 200

[zoomer]

It was $68 for putting the Iginla on the back with numbers, the "c" in the front and a Stanley Cup Patch in the front also.

[GAMAX1001]

Yes, Crashz is right, his replica jerseys are a bit expensive $110.

[GAMAX1001]

i'll bet. i wonder if it would be better to order blanks and get them faster (i assume?) and get the lettering etc. in town. maybe gary knows the turnaround time for uptown?
Right now, your are looking at about 2 to 4 weeks b/c of the X-mas rush.

But after New year's, it might only be a week. That's why I'm waiting.

[6five]

espin buddy, I picked up that Rise and Fall of ECW DVD today. Me, you and razkor will have to get together some weekend and have a few beers while watching it.
hey Gratzi, where did you pick that up? i've been looking everywhere and I can't find it...

[6five]

Trying to stage a No Limit Holdem game on Boxing day after work if anyone is interested. Will probably be like a $10 buy in. Winner takes all, 2nd place gets their buy-in back.
i'm in.

[zoomer]

just noticed a white gretz i got in a lot off ebay has this odd variant: inside the bubble, taped with his titan stick - a 2 inch black hair. i assume it's chinese. may not be safe to open.......(biological warfare?)


edit-no offence intended by 'chinese' remark (just that that's where toys come from)

[moosefan98]

hey zoomer maybe someone had a little "fun" with your gretzbefore they packaged.hahah first ever sexualy molested mcfarlane. thats gotta fetch some cash on ebay!!!!

I cannot believe the juniors cut Ryan Stone. That guy is awesome to watch. heis always checking somebody. I was super excited to watch him this year. ohh well if they for some reason lose though u heard it here first. not physical enough because they cut Ryan Stone!!!!

[GAMAX1001]

Hi Zoomer,

I found a Sakic error on Ebay, just like your and he's a fellow Winnipegger, not sure if he is a boardmember, from the amount of stuff he has on for sale, I'd say he's a scapler

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48979&item=5943579236&rd=1

[ShakesO]

nice too see three winnipeggers on the team...

i gotta get my photoshop up and running and get my picture printed off... hoping to hound on sunday... will likely head to a practice sometime this week and work on getting a stick signed.

[Trapper7]

Peglegbri current high bidder on that Sakic too, Zoomer, you should email Brian directly, he's a top boardie with too much $ to spend.

[zoomer]

yeah, just seen that on ebay myself. might see what Peblegbri has to trade (3rd jersey roy maybe?lol). in other news, OMG, this is my shopping cart atm (may still need pruning, cripes i hope i don't find anything else):

anyone have contact info for Peglegbri. not on board atm - need an email address.....

edit - never mind, i just sent him an email through ebay (duh!)

[zoomer]

just a thought. if they packaged the players with the actual players hair, then sometime in the future we could all clone our own superstars!!! imagine the competitions then!!!

(not interested in cloning whatever species of mammal that packages mcfarlane nhl (monkeys?, child sweat labour? hmm, black hair, could be trained cats....). wonder if Peglegbri collects these....

[ShakesO]

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

man, i need something to eat. it's gonna be at least 120 minutes before i get anything into my tummy...

on the plus side the teachers have decided that if we "just so happen not to show up" tomorrow, that it wouldn't be a horrible thing. :) sweet for early holidays.

Team Canada looks pretty good, I was right about the goalies. Glass will be the starter IMO

[MakaveIi]

bigsexy ... did you get the right figures? in good shape?

please tell all.

[TURCO_35]

Just got some mail and boy did it suck.... bought a bunch of Harding cards but the guy shipped them inbetween cardboard and in a bubble envelope but no cases...

[ShakesO]

tim - what are you up to this weekend, i want to get cheevers to you :)

[TURCO_35]

Well we were planning on going out to Gimli and skipping Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's school and go to morning skates. But would you want a Kovy for it (MOMC)?

[ShakesO]

i'm probably going to be at the Monday skate - i have a breakfast meeting at 7, and then i wanna go to the Small Business office thing that's right down there, so i might as well make a day of it.

monday is at the mts centre isn't it?

and sure, i'll take the kovy.

[gratzi]

hey Gratzi, where did you pick that up? i've been looking everywhere and I can't find it...
I got the ECW DVD at St Vital Wal-Mart. We only got 5 copies in on Tuesday, I got mine yesterday and the last 2 sold this morning. You can try the other Wal-Marts but I don't know who else got them in. Music World in the St Vital mall is usually pretty good for getting the wrestling DVD's in on time.

[Senk]

Sweet my Sharpe figures arrived today and are in great shape!
Same here

[TURCO_35]

On a good note I officially only need 4 more Hardings

[TURCO_35]

Bump

[TURCO_35]

Well I was wrong about the jersey's I was getting. Rather then getting numbering and names I just got regular jersey's. I will put up what I have after Christmas. More then likely all for sale.

[RILEYSROMPERS]

Any peggers have 3rd salo and raycroft regs????

[ShakesO]

wowza. i hit pay dirt at the gap today... i'm normally against shopping their, they pin their clothes up on the mannequins (which drives me insane), and stuff is like only sale for $10 cheaper the day after you buy it... i excercised some mean discipline since the fall and i hauled BIG today...

$200 casual pinstripe dress coat thing - $49.
$69 brown zip up sweater/hoodie - $29
$80 brown pants - $19.

all sizes - perfect fits. i'd been eyeing the jacket since it came out - and looks like someone finally tossed me a bone on this sweet deal :)

[TURCO_35]

Nice haul shakes.... the gap...wow they suck

[zoomer]

rileysrompers - I have the 3rd salo and the raycroft reg. could maybe work out the right deal for them? (not sure i want to sell the salo, but will possibly trade). btw the salo has the neck protector still attached as well.....

you coming to town soon?

[zoomer]

i've bought gap stuff really cheap at winners before. but you gotta search through like racks and racks and racks!

[RILEYSROMPERS]

Zoomer im from Moose Jaw and would trade.... What you looking for?? Ive got a bit of everything... Post or pm me a list of your wants...


PS guys i thought i would share my HAUL with you... This morning at Taylor field they has a GAME USED sale .... They were selling game used jerseys, helmets, balls and other crap.. I scored a Henry Burris game used Jersey,,, Tried for a helmet but all of the cool ones were gone....!!! 300 bones for a game used helmet.. jerseys were 175$!!

[TURCO_35]

Any Nealon green stuff?

[goOILERSgo]

Cheering for small market teams sure sucks sometimes...Tim Hudson to the Braves. Meanwhile the freakin Yankees, Mariners, Angels sign big name after big name. Thanks for everything Huddy.

On the plus side I found a Red VC and a white LeBron at Wally today. Cashier dented my VC putting it in the bag. Oh well. 2 cases. Sorry Joe couldn't find a chase Redd for you. Selling any extra Yao's and KG's from your case. Still need Reggie...

[gratzi]

I hear that dude...........:D

[ShakesO]

goOilsgo - do you ever just watch in fear as the cashier handles your haul, wondering "my god, she's going to smash them all together"... lol. i'd never say anything - but god do i want to.

tim - not a huge gap fan, their clothes don't fit me properly, but sometimes i'll luck out with a small - and damn i did good today.

[gratzi]

It sounds bad I guess but I would have been PISSED if a cashier did that to one of my figures.

[ShakesO]

gratzi - oh well totally. it's not like it's easily replaced... one of the prime reasons that i don't let many people touch stuff of mine lol only friends that collected hockey cards or comic books... and even then, my one friend still holds SPs by the floppy part of it - instead of actually supporting the weight of the thing - and he knows better. :)

[ShakesO]

watch for progress pics of my all star sakic by nucksfan - should be up tomorrow :) i'm quite excited....

[Crashz]

I usually just go to Old Navy. They essentially are the same clothes at a fraction of the cost already and their sale prices are about half of the Gap's sale prices. Only time I buy at the Gap is when I have a friends and family shop day. Bought a neat sweater there a couple weeks ago. Tha's bout it.

Just finished watching 3 hours of Apprentice. Geez, they could have done it in 2 hours. Dragged way too long. Kelly is the man. Wouldn't have had it any other way. Dunno why it was such a hard decision. I thought it was pretty damn clear cut. That Jen was all talk IMO. Next season looks pretty damn cool though. Booksmart vs Street Smart. My prediction is that someone from the Streetsmart will take it down.

[bigsexy_j]

Yeah that apprentice was way too long it could have been done in an hour with a half hour reunion show. Also did you notice that there were way to much commercials

[bigsexy_j]

Oh and my Amazon haul is great, both are the chases and in great shape. The Cheevers has a little ding on the hooky part, but other than that they are great.

So now i've got an extra chase Gretz as I never really expected to get these and the great Shakes got me one long ago. (ps thanks again)

J

[zoomer]

shakeso - i do talk to cashiers, then i apologize for seeming like such a geek........

i took a 12" gretz in to bs for a discount at polo walmart. some old hag stuck a sticker on it(proof of purchase thing) as i was walking in (didn't notice) luckily i found a replacement on their shelf.

[ShakesO]

good morning bump...

the wind outside sounds vicious... bad day to have to be running around :P

[RILEYSROMPERS]

Any Nealon green stuff?
Nealons Helmet sold but there is still a game used jersey there!!!

[vicnsand]

I didn't know they had a second series of 3" NHL. Last night I saw a Naslund/ Stevens set, Theodore/ Kovalchuk set, and a Belfour/ Chelios set. They look quite nice.

[Crashz]

bump

[zoomer]

superstores seem to all have the new 3" (tru to , i think)

is it just me or does this board go down a lot (from 11 - 1 today?)

[Crashz]

They wee trying to fix problems so threads like our and the PMs don't get removed for no reason.
The loss of our thread was a byproduct of forum mis-management. Quite sad. I still dunno why there wasn't some sort of backup. Hard for me to believe that everything just disappeared without a trace.

[Crashz]

Picked up the Logitech LX700 wirless keyboard and mouse(rechargeable). Sweet deal. Lovin it. Old wireless keyboard bit the dust. This is very much a worth replacement. Way less costly on Batteries.

[Crashz]

I need some green points 75K to 100K mark

[Crashz]

Time to get a haircut and go for a comic run

[Cvette]

hey zoomer when you get that selanne let me know how it is.

[bigsexy_j]

Hey guys just found a Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix variant on amazon. 8.99 plus shipping let's hope it comes in as good of shape as my Legends.

[zoomer]

cvette - are you looking for an opener? would trade straight up if i get an opener.....

lol - trying to resond to Peglegbri's PM - typed a long(ish) reply - can't send because his box is full.(and he's not on the board atm) guess i'll have to cut and paste to outlook....

[moosefan98]

does anyone know where I can get mcfarlane backboard??

[zoomer]

get a buzz cut. you'll feel 10 pounds lighter lol

haven't had mine cut in about 11 months either btw - gf nags once in a while...everyone else seems to like it long

thanks zoomer. hopefully someone will have an extra one locally. but if not that will be the route I go!

[zoomer]

yeah can't say i've SEEN any myself, not that i collect nba, but i've just been at WAY too many stores lately....trying to cut back - been striking out a lot lately. scored a couple mcfarlane 12x6 empty boxes. need a couple boxes for my 12"s though. thought i might check at outer perimeter...

[ShakesO]

progress pics of Sakic are up! *yay* it looks fantastic.

[gratzi]

Don't know if anyone cares but at St Vital Wal-Mart had series 1 of the NHL 3 inch figs on for 1.92 or so. I picked up the Iginla, Lemieux and Brodeur packs. I have no need for Koivu, Jiggy or Thornton so if anyone wants them just let me know.

[ShakesO]

well... i spent the whole afternoon at the C/MSBC today (small business center) researching my idea for school... and holy smokes, there is way too much stuff to figure out. coupled with an interview one of my group members did today which said a bunch of people have already tried this idea and failed - and there's no way i can complete the project on time, correcting where others have gone wrong...

looks like we're going to fall back on our service idea (which really isn't very exciting), i'm going to have to take it as a learning experience - and do research on the side, and spend some time after school trying to get my thing off the ground.

a lot of people will fail before someone finally gets it right. for right now though - i need to cut my losses, get through the year, and worry about it after... anyhoo i'm going to go mourn now.

ps. what do you guys think of the sakic so far?

[freezerbox]

Ebay or the Spawn store. I just ordered one with my Sharpe. It will arrive on Monday.



does anyone know where I can get mcfarlane backboard??

[gratzi]

Sakic looks pretty sweet Shakes, maybe I should get an Iggy done. How much is he charging you?

[ShakesO]

gratz - $50 for the paint work, cost for fig, cost for ship. i had to help a bit with the research given there aren't as many all star pics as normal ones... what kind of iggy do you want done?

[gratzi]

I don't know, just throwing that out there. Team Canada or All Star one might be cool. So it was 50 bucks total or 50 plus fig and ship?

[ShakesO]

50 + fig and ship.

i don't know if that's a good price or not - i just liked his work... probably should've shopped around - but so far it's been a great experience - and i didn't even pay up front..

[zoomer]

hey - i need the koivu/iggy and forsberg/sundin - will check wallys tomorrow cause i'll be near polo, but could someone pick up these 2 for me if they see at the sale price?, i'm not sure i'll find them.....

gratzi - are you near st.v? think you could help me out?

[gratzi]

sorry dude, I'm not near the mall. But they had a pile of them so if you are by Polo, they should also have a bunch.

[zoomer]

just went nuts AGAIN on nhl.com again today. (roomate did too) won't bore you with the whole list, but he got a niiiice oilers 3rd jersey - authentic - size 48 - for like 68 bucks (plus tax and ship). suffice to say we'll each have 6 jerseys , plus lots of hats, and other crap - spent something over 800 altogether (total), but saved Well over probably 1800-2000!!!

wish i got that # 15 mitchell & ness vintage nucks jersey in a 48 tho - missed by 15 damn min ($140 from $360) i'll never stop thinking about that *** jersey.......lmao

[Cvette]

zoomer - i'd much rather have a closed one MOMC

[Cvette]

if zoomer wants the full 2 pack i would take Koivu off you for sure since he is my favorite player.

[zoomer]

just want those 2 2packs at that price. already have the other four and one case is cracked (got them all for, like nothing). so i want to complete the set and open them all

[gratzi]

I have a Koivu that I don't want, but he doesn't have a visor.

[Cvette]

I'll take if off you.

saturday morning cartoons! bump

[zoomer]

did somebody have a white habs chelios in wpg? thought i remember seeing - probably on the old thread. i would be interested

[espin]

Hi guys... s'up? This is Espin's GF...

Does anybody want a dark Hejduk, Nords Forsberg, or a Hawks Chelios?

[bigsexy_j]

Just got home from the morning mandalay trip. Got rid of a raycroft chase and got the Leetch i was looking for.

[ShakesO]

Espin's GF - what's the damage on a dark Hejduk? :)


bsj - who was the 4th guy with us at unicity for NHL 9? Hedge, yourself, and i - is that other dude jay mandalay? i've never put the face/name together... ps. how much was that Leetch (if you don't mind me asking)

[bigsexy_j]

Shakes, at Unicity I know you myself and Jay (from mandalay, the guy who got the only Leetch). I didn't know who the other one was.

Total the Leetch cost me less 20 bucks (Gretz $21.88 Raycroft $16.00) but i traded my amazon Gretz and chase Raycroft (from Unicity) for the retro Leetch and a Marvel Legends 6 Deadpool.

[freezerbox]

I gather you have a US conatct for the Amazon.com purchases?

got my raycroft chase (bigsexy_j?lol) and leetch retro at mandalay today. also picked up a mint vc2 reg at wally's and a bunch of 2packs (freakin sweet price). polo seemed to be low on the koivu/iggy packs......returned a chelios habs reg to ss for 15.82 (not....sure...if i paid that much for it lol) so i'd like a chelios white habs for 20 (think i may have seem someone offering)

few things for sale......threw up some prices but always open to offers
