[Hulkster]

[Gooker1]

[sremmaz]

Hulkster - yep. Born and raised down here. Moved to NorCal 6years ago and then over to AZ.... it feels good to be back

I second that. I used to check that store every day I had class (CSUF) and never saw squat. That's mindboggling that someone actually found something there.

[Fatcomike]

went to RSM big 5 and found 3 chases. tim brown, drew bled, steve mcnair. left all the regs.

Check your local BIG 5!:D

[Hulkster]

if you guys all knew what I pulled at 8 or 9 Targets out here you'd probably all shoot me!! I had the DPCI#'s and had cases pulled from the back for me, total one time fluke because of the toy resets!!

[sremmaz]

Anyone interested in a separate board for So-Cal - I had one running for NorCal when I was there and it is awesome - everyone helps each other on the board and we would have gatherings and such.

I can start one if anyone is interested

[Terbayr]

Paul, that would be great. The closer the better for trading HAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[So Cal Fan]

sremmaz...that is very cool of you. i would be interested.

[JayL0c]

I am interested.. just as long as Ernie is not involved... You do mean, one tottaly seperate from on here. Right?

Why are you hating on me Jay? :D I was going to bench half my team in fantasy football to give you a shot, but now it looks like I have to open an entire can of whoop *** on you. ;)

[J3-M8]

Welcome back Paul. Hey when your back in OC we should get together with other OC/LA guys and go to an Angel/Dodger/Duck(if there is a season) game.

[WingNut 25]

I'm down to go talk s--t about the Ducks anytime!

[JayL0c]

OMG, I still cant beleive that about Ricky, and Boston... Where have you been hidding?Why are you hating on me Jay? :D I was going to bench half my team in fantasy football to give you a shot, but now it looks like I have to open an entire can of whoop *** on you. ;)

[JayL0c]

What about a Raider game? Ohhh, that's right they moved up north.... :D Welcome back Paul. Hey when your back in OC we should get together with other OC/LA guys and go to an Angel/Dodger/Duck(if there is a season) game.

[J3-M8]

What about a Charger game, they suck, but its still the NFL.

[sremmaz]

I'll be back in OC on the 27th. Here now - but heading back to AZ tomorrow to pack the house - loading the truck a week from thursday and driving in on Friday.

I can't wait to be back in OC - and an Angels game sounds awesome - I haven't been to the stadium since the redesign.

JayLoc - I was in San Jose and then Sacramento.

[JayL0c]

Im new to the area, and Im down to get together, and watch a game or two. I dont care for Hockey, but with the right group of guys im sure it would be fun.

I checked out the GameStop on Beverly and Garfield in Montebello the other day... lots of Greens, McNairs, and Mannings... all regs. While I was looking, the guy behind the counter hollers out "hey there's more over in that bin, 50% off!" I took a look... haha, all returns no doubt, a whole bunch of MLB4, old NHL... terrible.

[tealfan]

A get-together for a hockey game or something sounds good. Followed by Hooters (or similar) afterwards. :D

[Jigga4Dub]

Does anyone know when the 2-Packs and the 12" figs will hit the stores?

[JayL0c]

Sorry, dont know when they should hit stores, but there are a few dealers in So Cal that have them already. Now that I think about it, I had a friend told me he picked up the 12" McNabb and Moss.Does anyone know when the 2-Packs and the 12" figs will hit the stores?

[JayL0c]

Trojan Power..... Bump

[WingNut 25]

Only 12"ers I'll be buying are the Gretzkys.

[JayL0c]

I am going to get the Moss x 2 maybe make a custom, once I learn a few more tricks from Donnie lol

[JayL0c]

2 Packs.. I just spoke with my brother, and he told me that he put 3 2 packs aside for me. I recall Jason ( possibly), Ed, Gooker, and Joe may have been interested in them. I m getting one for me... and then the other two for 20 dlvd to F&S or make arrangements.

He also told me that 2 more NFL 8 Cases were coming in tonight, and that he has them on hold....

[WingNut 25]

I am going to get the Moss x 2 maybe make a custom, once I learn a few more tricks from Donnie lol
That Donny makes a mean custom. :D

I no longer need a McNabb/Strahan, but please do LMK when the Lewis/Portis hits.

[JayL0c]

will do... LoL Its more like.. Donny gets mad while making a custom

[Gooker1]

Still interested in a McNabb Strahan set. :)

[14lalo]

Who? Makes customs

[JayL0c]

We are joking about Donny "making" customs. Donny thinks he can make them... lol He was called out by us. I guess he has experience customizing hot wheels, and says he could do SPs. We were just ruffling his feathers.

Who? Makes customs

[14lalo]

Here's my entry... :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/14lalo/Sanders.jpg

[Masahiro714]

Saw a 12" Moss and 2 12" McNabb at Target in Norwalk.

[sremmaz]

I've done a few customs

http://pbase.com/sremmaz

[So Cal Fan]

14lalo...that is real nice. what parts of other figures did you use to make that?

[So Cal Fan]

sremmaz...nice collection and pics. it seems that you and the nor cals had a good time together.

[sremmaz]

So Cal.

Yeah we always had a great time at the get togethers. They are a great bunch of guys - hopefully all the so-cal folks will start using the other board and we can get some so-cal stuff going too.

For the customs - depends on which one you mean.

[J3-M8]

Hey Paul can you email me or PM me the address for the SoCal board. Thanks

[sremmaz]

wouldn't mind a white mcnabb if you can get more

[Gooker1]

Wherabouts in LA are you? I live downtown and work on the westside. I'll probably be at F&S this Wednesday or Saturday too.

And is the 20 for the McNabb set or the Manning. If the 20 is for manning, I'll just keep hunting. Don't need it that bed yet. Thanks though!!

[tealfan]

Just got back from visiting my folks, too. Since I don't do football figs, I'll just watch you guys do your trades.

On our way out the door to Raw bump. I'll post pics when I get home.

[JayL0c]

I m sure they will get more, and ill tell my brother to get one for you. wouldn't mind a white mcnabb if you can get more

[JayL0c]

I might be going to F&S on wed too. The price was for the 2 pack set, that is what I paid for it. I understand they cost 25 at F&S. I dont really want to sell the chase pieces. I am looking more to trade them. However, if i did sell them, it would nt be 20.

[tealfan]

We could have car pooled.
Nah. No offense, but I like making these monthly trips alone. It's my chance to get away from it all I guess...lol. Thanks tho! Maybe I'll bump into you next time I'm at the toy section out there. :D

[JayL0c]

Im 90% sure im going to be there wed. I am making some other trades with friends there. I might even take my no towel Brown chase, to see what I can get for it.

Most likely, you'll get low-balled on your white no towel brown. No one there will pay you eBay prices for it, but you might be able to trade it for something nice.

Did you go to SC?

[sremmaz]

JayLoc - post that no towel on the other board in the general section - I know some of the Norcal folks are trying to get those

[JayL0c]

Im not looking to sell it. I would want to trade it. I just dont know what I would get. There is not much I want right now. Maybe more the reason to hold onto it.Most likely, you'll get low-balled on your white no towel brown. No one there will pay you eBay prices for it, but you might be able to trade it for something nice.

Did you go to SC?

[JayL0c]

Are you refering to the regs or the chase no towel? I dont like shipping stuff out. :confused: Seems like it take too much time. Then before you know it, you are paying more for the figure, than what you would pay at a shop or F&S. Then you have to worry about the condition.

I prefer face to face contact. However, if it is for something I really want, or I have dealt with that person in the past, I might just ship it out. Who knows, maybe Ill give Nor cal a try. I just dont have a huge want list right now.

Did anyone from the boards beat me to the west hills wal-mart? I went this morning at 8:15 AM and found a regular no towel tim brown, and when I paid for it the lady at the regiester said that a guy just bought a bunch of the NFL figures. I hope there was no White jersey TB.:(

question for you guys.. .looking to get rid of some chase pieces, is 15 dollars to much to ask for? Just need to get rid of some figs. LMK Ill be putting up a list of stuff Im looking to get rid of. Thanks

[So Cal Fan]

Met up with JayLOc tonight at his house. He showed me his great collection and introduced me to his cute little kid. All I can say is thank God his baby took after her mother.

In all seriousness, Jacob was awesome. We made a little trade and talked about sports and figures for quite a while.

Please. Do not hesitate to do business with this guy. I for one look forward to meeting up with him again in the future.

[JayL0c]

Very funny ErKNEE.... Its funny that everyone uses the same " Thank God his baby took after her mother" line.... Im looking forward to getting together again in the future

[Gooker1]

Jacob,

Do you still plan on going to the F&S tonight? I'll be there. It's a ***** of a drive, but I don't mind. Let me know the time and I'll be there.

Where do you live in LA again?

Regarding your question about selling chases. I guess it really depends on what the chase figures are. So, start w/ $15 and work your way around there.

[So Cal Fan]

Thanks for recognizing my originality. :D

SoCal, I agree Jacob is a class act, we've done some trading and he's A Ok, for a Cowboys fan.. Where in WLA are you , I work a stones throw away from Sepulveda and National. For all hiiting F&S tonight see you there.
Ed

[Gooker1]

14lalo...I work up the street from you on the corner of Sepulveda and Santa Monica.

I've never met any of you guys so where's a good spot @ F&S to meet and what time?

[JayL0c]

I plan on showing up at around 630 pm. I know Ron is going to be there, he told me you were the first one he sold cases to. I am meeting up with him to hook him up with a 12"white Nabb.

Ill pm you my cell phone, and you can call me. I Live near the 710/ 60 / 5, they are all with in less than a mile from me.

Hey, just curious, who won the Cowboys/Raiders Game? I forget. :D

Ed, if you want, since im off of work today.. You can swing by for the other 12"Nabb, either on your way to F&S or on the way back. Since, Im not going to be there until later. I just dont think my daughter can hang for 5 hours at F&S.

[14lalo]

GOOKER, I get there early (about 4ish) to beat the traffic, I know Jacob's getting there later, I normally hang out around Donny's booth (GOT-TOYS) or Albert's.

[JayL0c]

Ed, get back to work...

[Jbomb]

I can tell you this. every store that sells figures of any kind,along the 210 fwy, is dead from the frank and Sons monster. I know for a fact that atleast 15 guys at F&S work,or have somebody work at Wal_marts,TRU,or Target,that get them varaints. I work graveyard,and I hit a few 24 hr Wal Marts. One of them have not had baseball figs in 4 months,period. I have nevr seen a baseball variant on a shelf,period. During X-Mas, I found a pallet of 20 or so cases of football,and grabbed a Vick and Schoky before I was yelled at for trying to purchase goods form a retail sotre. ***. The olny good thing about F&S and figures is getting older figs that are not in demand anymore.You can get good prices on stuff that people bought in bulk,and now cant get rid of.

[So Cal Fan]

14lalo. I am basically on Sepulveda and Santa Monica which is pretty close to you. I saw some of your customs last night at Jacob's, and they were really nice. Maybe some time, when I finally have time after school, you can give me some lessons.

[So Cal Fan]

14lalo...I work up the street from you on the corner of Sepulveda and Santa Monica.

I've never met any of you guys so where's a good spot @ F&S to meet and what time?
Gooker1. I actually met up with you at a Toys R Us about a year and a half ago. I asked if you had a Ladanian for trade at that time (I wonder if you remember).

You were actually the first guy who recommended talking to people on the board to help me out. Oh. Those were the days when my collection was small and my wallet was a little thicker. And, I owe it all to you. :D

You guys have fun at F&S.

[Gooker1]

Oh yeah...at the La Cienega TRU. I remember the encounter, but trying to put a face on the board name. LOL...either you owe me or hate me for it. =)

I still blame my friend for getting me into this crap. Damn you Random Task!

[tealfan]

FYI, the standard place to meet at F&S does indeed seem to be Donny's Got-Toys booth. There. That's my contribution to the thread for the day. :D

[JayL0c]

Hello everyone. Here is a list of figures I am looking to get rid of. I need to clear up some space, as lalo14 and So Cal Fan can atest. I do have a brother that works at TRU.

However, alot of these figs i have bought off the BAY or at Gamestops, and I will be taking a loss on some of these figures.

How did you like East Los.....?

Ed, had a good idea, maybe we all should get together at Frank and Sons and sit down and work on customs.?

[JayL0c]

Hey guys, ever think about getting together for some poker?

[JayL0c]

I call, and I raise you ONE white brown no towel no mouth piece

[tealfan]

I might stop by F&S real quick today to grab the latest Amazing Spider-Man. Can't find any comic shops in my Walnut phone book, so hopefully there's a dealer at F&S that sells new releases. It's only a 5 minute drive for me...hehe.

[sremmaz]

FINALLY, Paul has come back........home

Welcome back Paul.
Thanks Jorge... I have a padded envelope here with your name on it. I made sure to leave it in my "not to storage" stack. Lets hook up sometime soon. I'll be at the NASCAR race next weekend - but maybe we can catch an Angels game or something.

[sremmaz]

Hey guys, ever think about getting together for some poker?
As long as its texas hold em and not all them weird games - I would be game.

[WingNut 25]

We play poker every weekend after our Sunday softball games. We have a tournament tomorrow nite.

[JayL0c]

Paul- That is what I love most, but I do like changing it up a few rounds with 7 card stud, and Omaha.

Jason- How late does it usually run to? I have to be up early Mondays. Do you think your friends would mind a few outsiders?

Maybe we can setup a time once a month, just to get so cal boardies together. Anyone else interested?

EdBSip...ask and you shall receive. Rep given.

[JayL0c]

How does the rep aspect of the board work?

[JayL0c]

EDBSIP- I got 2 Cooperstown boxes, for you to store some figs in.

[So Cal Fan]

How Rep works: There is a little scale icon on each post. Click on that and you can give positive or negative rep. The value of rep points given is dependent on how many posts you have and the number of green boxes. You can only give a certain amount of rep each day.

(Jacob...I actually have repped you at least 2 times.)

[JayL0c]

kool, Ernest, thanks for the heads up. For a second there, I thought you said ... You had rapped me at least 2 times. lol

[So Cal Fan]

kool, Ernest, thanks for the heads up. For a second there, I thought you said ... You had rapped me at least 2 times. lol
WHOA!!! Do I look like I play for the Lakers? WHOA again! I think we just need to end this. That was pretty low on my part. :D

[JayL0c]

To be honest with you I dont think you have the size to play for the lakers. lol Get my PM?

EDBSIP, I am all repped out today, but will hit you tomorrow. Hit me if you can when you get done with your list.....

[Terbayr]

Where'd you settle, paul?

[sremmaz]

I'm settle up in the heart of the OC

[JayL0c]

up

[Fatcomike]

mlb 11 guerrero 2 YES!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[JayL0c]

Sweet line ups, but where is my Eric Chavez???

[14lalo]

Jacob, now is your chance to make a custom of Eric Chavez!!!!

[WingNut 25]

I was very disappointed with the MLB lineups. No Chavez and no Hudson yet we get another A-Rod (he is one of my fav players, but just repaint his #2 pose for now and push fig #3 back) and another Piazza. Why another Piazza anyway? Not thrilled with a Johnny Damon either. He is deserving of a SP, but Chavez or Hudson should be in there instead of him right now since we are getting a David Ortiz.

[Terbayr]

Congrats. Nice to be back home?



I'm settle up in the heart of the OC

[JayL0c]

I was looking forward to a Eric Chavez. Im sure donny would love to have mutiples of that guy, since it probblay reminds him of someone dear to his heart.

I guess Im going to have to make a custom of him. Ed any ideas?

[gotskilz32]

Hey EDBSIP

I see you like Jason Kendall. Do you want a reg kendall? LMK

[14lalo]

Jacob,
Do you want batting or fielding? Maybe something out of the Rolen pose?

[JayL0c]

probbaly fielding at 3rd

[14lalo]

Rolen or Hinske would work

[JayL0c]

I was thinking rolen, but they dont look the same

[14lalo]

AWWWW! a simple face swap would be in order.

[JayL0c]

Face Off?

[14lalo]

HEAD swap

[JayL0c]

Ed, the pants on Aikman and Irvin are sweet

[tealfan]

[sremmaz]

Looks like we will be there sooner. Leaving in about 15 minutes.

[JayL0c]

Paul, those are Ed's (lalo14) customs. One day I will be as good as him.. maybe even this apprentice will out duel his master one day.....

[sremmaz]

Sorry I missed you all at the show - was a good time. Met Brandon (Barrets Toy Chest) - One of the other dealers had a bunch of NFL9 already and the 12" Urlacher and Mannings.

Saw one dealer with a bunch of customs - pretty decent work too.

[14lalo]

Hey sremmaz, I saw you there, at Donny's booth (got-toys) I was the other big ugly guy. Thanks on the decent work comment, I hope to only get better on my customs.
Ed

[JayL0c]

Ill be getting my cases. Hopefully manana. WOOT for the Phins Seau

[sremmaz]

Hey sremmaz, I saw you there, at Donny's booth (got-toys) I was the other big ugly guy. Thanks on the decent work comment, I hope to only get better on my customs.
Ed
You should have said HI... what the hell. That was the booth over by the magic area right? Those customs were pretty cool from where I was standing - I wanted to get a better look, but wasn't in the mood to shop - since I am broke as hell. I was more going for my buddy who was down from NorCal

[sremmaz]

Ill be getting my cases. Hopefully manana. WOOT for the Phins Seau
The guy who had his NFL9 there - said the Seau was coming out 1 per case, and each case had a complete set. just FYI

[sremmaz]

We should get together and have a west coast custom fest. I'll have to dig out my supplies from storage though

[So Cal Fan]

sremmaz...did they mention or did you see any other retros out there or is it just going to be the seau?

[gotskilz32]

I still have not been able to make it to F&S yet. I really want to check it out but my wife always wants to spend "quality" together on the weekends. Do they sell any Disney stuff.

[sremmaz]

just a seau is all I saw there

[sremmaz]

Yes my buddy walked by a booth and said if my ex was here - we would spend 30 minutes at that booth. And I said why - which he replied "Disney ****"

not sure what they had but it was disney something

Cool because she collects WDCC and almost anything Mickey. Thats one cool thing because she can't complain that much when I buy my SPs because of her hobby is quite expensive also.

[JayL0c]

I'm buying 2 cases from a diffrent friend of mine, and I hope there are the same pack out, but I doubt it. If I dont get one, Seau Phins, Ill but a case from Dave in aisle 100.

Paul,

Me and Ed (lalo14) are planning on going this Saturday to F&S and sitting at the Magic tables, and talk shop, and work on customs. You are more than welcome to stop by and say hi, or give us some tips and advice. If you are going to be there.

[sremmaz]

Bummer - I'll be in Fontana at the NASCAR race - maybe next weekend

[JayL0c]

NASCAR? I dont know how some people can endure that. Im not knocking it, just amazes me. We shall see if we can hook up next weekend, or some other time.

Jacob
JayL0c

[Gooker1]

I made it out there last night. Must have missed everyone. Dave was the only one that had them, and he had the Seau and Chase Holmes. He opened up about 10 cases for last night's show and all of them had the same case pack. Some of the stuff they found later on that night were a White Plummer and Black Johnson.

I was able to score a reg Plummer so I was happy. :)

[14lalo]

Hey that custom fest sounds like a good idea.

[ejones06]

just found tons of 12" white mcnabb and moss over at the tru in thousand oaks. just to let you know.

[Gooker1]

The 12" McNabb would be nice trade bait.

[14lalo]

I might stop by myself to say hi and take a peek.

Hi everybody I went to F & S today and I think I saw Jayloc and a couple of the boardmembers painting some football figures. I wanted to sto and say hi but, my wife wanted to leave. I hope that I get to stop by and say hi the next time i go there. By the way thanks for the rep points EDBSIP I left you some. I also got me a Jonathan Odgen It seems that there are only getting one per case or none at all for some reason so if you find one grab it.

[JayL0c]

Yep, that was us. Ed (lalo14), Tae (SteelSpawn) and Myself. At least you know what we look like. Next time you need to stop by for a few minutes.

Yeah what Jacob said, I think we were doing more talking than painting, but it was all good. I never was at F&S that long but we are planning on doing it again when the weather cools down it was HOT in that bad boy. On the Ogdens, I p/u one in my case , a couple at $10 ea , the price rose during the day to $12, $15 then $20, nice piece to customize though

wow! it seems like you guys had fun at F & S even though it was bit hot.

and ogden selling for $20. that's ridiculous. i hope i can find it for retail.

p.s. rep was given. enjoy.

[Duckmyster]

I managed to get mine at $15.00 which is good if you figure that is is tax free and if you would have bought one at retail or ebay you probably would have pay about $13.00 or $14.00 and hell yeah it was hot, that is the reason my wife wanted to leave.

[sremmaz]

I almost stopped by there on my way home from fontana today - it was about 1:30 - but figured you all were gone by then. Maybe next time
