Official Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex Thread!!

[Frogman]

Or maybe I'm crazy.
Too easy!!! ;) :) :D j/k

GO FROGS!!!

[Bryan316]

Ah, the candy section. No wonder I can't find them.

Anyone stay up late Friday night to watch Super Jamario run for 203 yards?

[Bryan316]

Finally!!! JFC, I finally found the 3" NFL figs.

Grabbed:
Terrell Owens (bright sun + magnifying glass = fun)
Deuce McAllister (extra for possible dashboard custom)
Brian Urlacher
Ray Lewis
Jake Delhomme
Brett Favre
Randy Moss
Michael Vick

Hopefully I can find Faulk & Brady. Looking at the 2-pack list, most of these singles are staying in the package since I want both players in the 2-pack.

Anyone have a list of the NBA singles that are supposed to be out there?

[Iamgoodyy]

NFL 10 still hasn't hit the wearhouse, it should be any day now. And NBA 7 is on order to the wearhouse. I haven't found the SKN for the Sosa/Ryan 12" figures.

[Bryan316]

Nah, they had 1 Holmes (which I already have from the Harrison 2-pack) and 1 McNabb, which I don't want. They also had Ricky Williams and Mike Alstott, and I readily passed on both of those.

Are the Portis and Ward available at Target, or just from singles dealers?

[Bryan316]

think those single dealers packages are different looking...arent they??? uglier in my opinion.The dealer ones are like the SGA Ming, and look pretty bad. I really like these since they're in the theme of the regular clamshells. That's probably my main reason for wanting some of them for my walls.

[jaguarfan16]

hey ajamisonmavsfan i am in schoo so i cant go searching for figs but since you go around looking can you hook me up with these variants if you see them only 3 i want

raiders sapp
terell owens 49ers
ricky williams orange variant

thanks man

[Iamgoodyy]

Anyone planning on seeing Dan Patrick on Monday at Buffalo Wild in Fort Worth? Me and a buddy might turn out. Can't believe he is actually coming to the metroplex, I'm stoked.

[Iamgoodyy]

Just wanted to make a correction its in Irving instead Fort Worth. Here is the info:

[The Mars Volta]

...any other NFL 10 sightings? Just one Wal-Mart?

I need a TO Eagles...but...I know he will go fast! ;)

[DIRK]

Anyone know if Roy Williams still does his radio show?

[Bryan316]

North Texas (5-4, 5-0) will try to extend its 23-game Sun Belt winning streak against Idaho (3-7, 2-4) at Fouts Field in Denton Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CST. The game will be broadcast live as part of the Sun Belt ESPN Regional package with Sam Smith and Geradie Mercer providing the call. It can be seen in the Dallas/Fort Worth area on KFWD Channel 52 and it can also be heard live on KWRD (100.7 FM) and KNTU (88.1 FM)in Dallas/Fort Worth.

After starting the season 0-4, North Texas has now won five straight games and is one win away from clinching its fourth straight Sun Belt championship and New Orleans Bowl berth. The Mean Green is averaging 33.8 points in conference games and is led by true freshman running back Jamario Thomas who leads the nation in rushing and has rushed for four straight 200-yard games. Idaho is playing its last season as a member of the Sun Belt and will become a member of the WAC in 2005. The Vandals are averaging 42.7 points in their three wins and 9.6 points in their seven losses.

[Frogman]

that's a pretty good haul. hopefully i'll be able to find them around here soon.

[jaguarfan16]

hey ajamisonmavs fan like i said last night could you hook me up with one sapp raiders since ya have 3 now and maybe that 49ers to

[slubros]

No phone call yet on my Gamestop reserved NFL10 case.

[jaguarfan16]

ajamisonmavsfan i PMed you

[Iamgoodyy]

Just got back from LoneStar Plano with a 49ers Owens and Roy Double Star for Jaguarfan. There is a Trent Green variant I left behind I think it was 15.95. Surprisingly the prices weren't bad for the figures this time a dollar higher then Gamestop. I think the Dallas store still has a 49ers Owens and both Roys.

They also had the 12" MLB figures but at 34.95 it was too high.

[The Mars Volta]

Dallas Store has one 49ers Owens, and no more Roys...

[Bryan316]

Dallas store smells like fish...

[Iamgoodyy]

Really... I haven't been. I didn't think there would be that much of a difference anyways.

[Bryan316]

Well, it's right next to a fish market, and there is some major seepage. Factor in the Comic Book Guy smell, and it's hard not to just put your shirt over your nose...

[The Mars Volta]

Dallas store smells like fish...
\
I worked at the fish place next door. Try cleaning out a shrimp steamer! ;)

And that location moved a couple weeks ago...so NO MORE FISH SMELL.

[Bryan316]

And that location moved a couple weeks ago...so NO MORE FISH SMELL.Ah, didn't know that. Now there's nothing to cover up the BO.

[Iamgoodyy]

Well darn I was hoping to get some salmon and new punisher comic books soon. Also, the Dan Patrick show was great on Monday, scored me a VIP pass to from a lady. Anyone go out to any of the other local radio shows? Also, as a restaurant review Buffalo Wild Wings has the worst wings in the metroplex IMO, only crappy wet sauce that really didn't have any flavor.

Check your TRU's for NFL 10 tomorrow morning, it should be the day. GL on your search.

[Bryan316]

Looking at what night crew rolled out tomorrow, there might be a case of NFL8 on the pegs McFarlane-wise...

What's everyone looking for in 10?

Me:
Blue Delhomme opener
White Roy opener
Blue Roy mint

Everything else I'm sure I'll find on the pegs.

[jaguarfan16]

i got a case today and iamgoody helped me get 2 figs so the only 2 i need are

sapp raiders
ricky williams orange jersey

[Iamgoodyy]

Please don't harass the employees to see all the cases, whats on the shelf is what fits. Hope that helps anyone. NFL 10 should be at all stores Thursday morning, but Frisco is sold out already since it came Tuesday night.

[Frogman]

i still need white LT, 49ers TO, and white Moss. a couple extra Roys wouldn't hurt either.

[EasleyK]

ya'll leave a few white roys on the shelf for me. i don't get out much and want a few to customize for myself. 1st up, thanksgiving throwbacks.

[Bryan316]

If anyone could help me out with a few, I'd be much appreciative.

[Bryan316]

"North Texas (6-4, 6-0) tries to extend its 24-game Sun Belt winning streak at Arkansas State (3-7, 3-3) tonight in Jonesboro, Ark. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CST. The game will be broadcast live as part of the Sun Belt ESPN Regional package with Sam Smith and Jim Donnan providing the call. It can be seen in the Dallas/Fort Worth area on KFWD Channel 52 and it can also be heard live on KWRD (100.7 FM) and KNTU (88.1 FM) in Dallas/Fort Worth.

North Texas leads the series with Arkansas State 7-6 and has won the last three meetings. The Indians lead the series 4-2 in Jonesboro although North Texas squeaked out a 13-10 win at the last meeting in Indian Stadium in 2002. In that game, redshirt freshman quarterback Andrew Smith hooked up with George Marshall for a touchdown with 53 seconds to play in the game to secure the win. Four of the six games in Jonesboro have been decided by a touchdown or less.

North Texas will be making its fourth straight trip to the New Orleans Bowl thanks to its championship clinching win over Idaho Saturday. It will be the seventh bowl appearance in school history, with the Mean Green also playing in the Optimist Bowl (1946), Salad Bowl (1948) and Sun Bowl (1959) in addition to the last three New Orleans Bowls. Only 28 teams have been to more consecutive bowl games than North Texas with Nebraska leading the way with 35 straight."

[Bryan316]

[mikedanger]

[rx3732]

[Frogman]

atta boy! :D
only because i'm a completist ;)

[Bryan316]

yo dudes...i got my roy williams SP signed last night at circuit city in hurst and it looks sweet! thanks to frogman for hooking me up with the figure in time for the signing! you da man!!A story isn't a story without PICS!

[jaguarfan16]

hey ajamisonmavsfan would you trade me one of those raiders sapps you have

i got tomlinson white/terrell owens 2 reg/randy moss 2 reg all from series 10

let me knwo or if you want to sell me one how much, thanks

[Crickett]

I'm in just contact me I'm in Arlinton!!!!

[Bryan316]

My TRU seems to have put out the 4 remaining cases of NFL10 last night. There were many RWs to chose from, but I only grabbed the one with the best paint job. I also grabbed one of the 2 Vinatieris and the only chase figure that was out there, a white Randy Moss. There was a case on a pallet Friday night, already cut, but when I took a looksee, there was already one figure missing. Probably the same with the rest of the cases. Damn seasonal hires...

[jaguarfan16]

are the 12" nfl now $9.99 at tru bryan or iamgoody can u confirm?

[Bryan316]

are the 12" nfl now $9.99 at tru bryan or iamgoody can u confirm?They are $19.95 each as of today.

[Iamgoodyy]

Damn seasonal hires...
That's why you need to establish your turf Bryan. Everyone knows not to mess with the Ballas in the boys departments. I didn't get the price change form on the 12" figures today so I didn't check. If Bryan says they are 19.95 I would go with his answer, but I'll confirm tomorrow.

[Bryan316]

Well, my turf is walled off from the rest of the store, so no backroom beatdowns for me. But if someone wants a game held for them, there better be some compensation...

[mikedanger]

A story isn't a story without PICS!
that would imply that i have a digital camera...and that i knew how to use it. :(

[jaguarfan16]

ok heres the deal sapposbaly im hearing all the trus the 12" are 9.99 but for some reason until the recipt prints or some thing liek that the 12" nfl turn out to be 9.99 but at first they are 19.95 it takes 10-20 seconds they said for it to take an additional $10 off! if this is true i am going to tru tommorrow to get 4 or 5 of the 12"

[Bryan316]

First I've heard of it. Though, if it's true, I might have to test this out...

[Bryan316]

that would imply that i have a digital camera...and that i knew how to use it. :(:D ;) mikenopics

[Bryan316]

After reading the other thread, I'm grabbing a white McNabb tomorrow, and maybe a few others.

[mikedanger]

picked up a 12" nolan ryan last night

[Bryan316]

Grabbed a Ryan last Thursday, and it was $29.99. I'd be surprised if it was on sale since it just came out.

[mikedanger]

did they charge full price?
didn't get it at TRU...sorry bryan, but i'm sure you understand. :D

[La Lone]

ok...


Who needs black Gretzky's? Three extras as I type

[mikedanger]

holy crap! a la lone sighting!! you get your prize from clintonportis.com yet?

red wings suck! :p

[La Lone]

Hey Mike,


Thought I would grace the thread again.

Got my figs awhile back but no sign of my "prize". Looking forward to it as I collect autographed mini helments also.

Don't bring up hockey. I'm so bummed about this season. Actually found myself watching a basketball game the other night.....how depressing. But hey, you gotta love them Detroit fans. :)

[Bryan316]

sorry bryan, but i'm sure you understand. :DI'd support them too if I could get down there more often.

[The Mars Volta]

I know it is not a sports figure, but has anyone spotted a 18" Jack Sparrow around the Dallas Plex?

Mikedanger found one. :)

[ledzepp_2000]

I spotted two of the 18" Jack Sparrow yesterday at the suncoast in Collin Creek Mall in Plano.

[The Mars Volta]

I spotted two of the 18" Jack Sparrow yesterday at the suncoast in Collin Creek Mall in Plano.

Awesome! Any idea which ones they were?

[The Mars Volta]

...and Suncoast and not Spencers? I am a little suprised. Suncoast is usually a week behind with NECA.

[The Mars Volta]

I grabbed a smiling Jack at Suncoast in Valley View Mall. I believe it was the last one.

Great figure. Thanks for the heads up Led...

[DIRK]

Picked up McNair and Holmes this morning at TRU Frisco. Anyone know if Wal Mart still wants 30 for their 12" figures? I'm thinking of pulling a little trickery.... :p

[mikedanger]

found a blue roy and a white roy last night. haven't picked up any of the 12 inchers yet...i'm still undecided on those.

[slubros]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the DFW boardies. :)

Picked up a white Roy Williams at Plano TRU on Tuesday night - looked like about 3 cases total in the bin. Watch out because the employee who was putting them out knew all the NFL10 variants so I assume he grabbed them all.

Guess I won't worry about finding any variants at that TRU any more.

[Cowtown]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

mikedanger--good to see you back. Was the Roy Williams Circuit City event crowded? Matthew & I wanted to go but we had other obligations.

[The Mars Volta]

Anyone spot the Ben Wallace/Garnett figures yet?

[The Mars Volta]

Any good finds for the people who hit TRU early this miorning?

[Supertayt]

Hello People!!!
My name is Tayt, I live in Lewisville and I am uhhhhhh 30. Yuck. Anyway, I'm in on any meetings/gatherings or whatever. The way I see it, any edge I can get on getting hard to find figures works better for me! See ya!

[jaguarfan16]

i really need a sapp raiders anyone found one in the area yet?

[mikedanger]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

mikedanger--good to see you back. Was the Roy Williams Circuit City event crowded? Matthew & I wanted to go but we had other obligations.
hey stooks...i just couldn't stay away. :)

the circuit city thing was VERY crowded...i got there about 4:15 and i was all the way behind the building. it only took me 4 hours of waiting to finally meet roy but it was worth it. luckily he stayed late to sign for a ton of extra people. :)

[DIRK]

What was Roy dubbya doing at Circuit City?

ANYONE KNOW IF HE STILL DOES THE RADIO SHOW?

Also, anyone know when NBA7 comes in?

[The Mars Volta]

Still no Garnett Vs. Ben 2-Packs from my search tonight.

Any sightings? Nothing new to report otherwise. Tons of NHL Legends all over the place.

[jaguarfan16]

mars volta do you have a raiders sapp? i need one to complete my nfl 10 set and i cant find one anywhere!

[Bryan316]

think one of the boardmembers works at TRU in plano...lamgoody i thinkHe's at the Frisco one.

Nothing new here. We have a lot of the 12" Nolan Ryan at my store.

[La Lone]

The Mrs. found a pile she wasn't suppose to while getting the Christmas stuff out. Anyone need any of these?


NFL 8 McNair, J. Lewis, Green, Holt

NFL 10 R, Williams (white variant :rolleyes: ), Owens, R. Wiliams (aqua mask)

NHL L One of each Gretzky's

I need NFL 9 Plummer, Bell, Holmes

And before anyone says it, I know this isn't the bst board.......

Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday. I'm up four pounds since Thursday. Might hit 250 by Christmas :eek:

[Cowtown]

hey stooks...i just couldn't stay away. :)

Wish we could have been there. We would have been even farther back in the line--Matthew gets out of school at 4:00.

[Iamgoodyy]

I still need to get a Ryan the 1 case we had was beaten to a pulp, so I didnt't bother. I can guarntee that plenty of variants hit the shelf at the TRU in Frisco I make sure of it.

He's at the Frisco one.

Nothing new here. We have a lot of the 12" Nolan Ryan at my store.

[mikedanger]

What was Roy dubbya doing at Circuit City?

ANYONE KNOW IF HE STILL DOES THE RADIO SHOW?


he was there with jay novacek for the grand opening in hurst. i know eddie george and tony dorsett have signed at CC grand openings in the past. you might keep your ears perked for the grand openings.

as fas as i know he's not doing the radio show this year.

[Iamgoodyy]

Another update for the DFW crowd.

TRU Frisco received NBA 7 and Wallace/Garnett 2Pack along with Portis/Lewis 2Pack.
Tonight I also uncovered someone's apparant stash of Roy Williams 5 whites were in a valance, they were put on the shelf. NBA 7 the entire case was unloaded to the pegs. Not sure when the other stores will be getting more NBA7.

[La Lone]

she wasnt supposed to find that pile so she made you get rid of them??? yet you're asking for other figs that you need????

Yep, what don't you understand ???:confused:

[Iamgoodyy]

La Lone are you needing the variants of those figures or regs?

[Iamgoodyy]

Yep.

[Iamgoodyy]

No idea I didn't crack it.

[La Lone]

La Lone are you needing the variants of those figures or regs?
Just the regular figs

[DIRK]

I need a Red VC if anyone comes across one.

[The Mars Volta]

If I see a Red Vince, he's yours.

Any other new NBA or NBA 2-Pack sightings? I need the reg. Ben Wallace.

[foots mcgee]

Hey guys!! I thought I'd stop in and say hi. It is cool to see so many familiar names are still around.

[The Mars Volta]

Hey guys!! I thought I'd stop in and say hi. It is cool to see so many familiar names are still around.

I have not seen you around in a while! :)

I used to be CGSPAWN...but that changed with my e-mail.

[mikedanger]

foots! i still need to get with you on the MOTU micro busts! how you been?

[foots mcgee]

Ah yes I remember CGSPAWN. How ya been?


Oh btw mikeydanger I still have your MOTU busts if you still want them.. if not I understand.

Oh and Titanhorns check your Paypal account. I can't apologize enough. I never intended to rip you off. I still have the figures somewhere if you still need them.

[foots mcgee]

foots! i still need to get with you on the MOTU micro busts! how you been?
lol you beat me to it. I still have them.. we just need to meet up I suppose. I've been ok. Life has been crazy of late but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

[Bryan316]

There were only 4 figs left yesterday when I got to work, though Reggie was among them. However, his paint job kinda sucked, so I left him:(

I think I still want that ugly yellow version.

[mikedanger]

i still want them...it's just a matter of finding the time to get them...what was the total on it again?

[foots mcgee]

I don't remember. I'll dig through some old emails and find out.

[The Mars Volta]

There were only 4 figs left yesterday when I got to work, though Reggie was among them. However, his paint job kinda sucked, so I left him:(

I think I still want that ugly yellow version.

Which figures? You still work at the Walnut Hill TRU don't you? I have not seen you there in a while.

[The Mars Volta]

Ah yes I remember CGSPAWN. How ya been?

Been pretty good. Where did you go?

[foots mcgee]

Well... I got frustrated with SPs and moved on to exclusively collecting MOTU. Mattel ended that and around the same time some guys at work convinced to me to try this game called Lineage 2. I innocenlty started a guild which grew to 90+ people and we took a castle (the ultimate goal in the game in my opinion). Yesterday I woke up and decided I wanted my life back. =)

As far as my non online life goes I've moved 3 times in the last three years, am still in school, working at the same place, and recently broke up with my girlfriend of 3 1/2 years.

That is it in a nutshell I suppose. So how the hell are ya'll?

[Frogman]

wow!! first mikedanger comes out of retirement, and now foots is back!!! add a la lone sighting into the mix and this has been quite a week for the dfw crew!! :)

[Bryan316]

You still work at the Walnut Hill TRU don't you? I have not seen you there in a while.Hells no. I got out of there after I started having issues with management. I'm in L'ville now since it's closer to school. Granted they work me 30+ hours a week, but it keeps me going.

[The Mars Volta]

Hells no. I got out of there after I started having issues with management. I'm in L'ville now since it's closer to school. Granted they work me 30+ hours a week, but it keeps me going.

Good. Now I can officially say that the managment sucks *** at that TRU.

The guys that work toys are really helpful and nice, but their are a few bosses that are jerk offs. I was even told by an employee once that I would have a better chance getting an Evil Lynn online than fighting with managment over who get's to crack MOTU cases first.

We complained to the bald boss, and he finally acted like they had just gotten her in. He had 4 Evil Lynns and some Man-E-Faces in his stash...and he acted like I owed him for the one Evil Lynn. :rolleyes:

[The Mars Volta]

Hells no. I got out of there after I started having issues with management. I'm in L'ville now since it's closer to school. Granted they work me 30+ hours a week, but it keeps me going.

Speaking of school, I am giving some serious thought to heading to UNT next year. I got to see if A&M will accept me this time though.

[rx3732]

"Yesterday I woke up and decided I wanted my life back."
lol, is it THAT easy?!

He always gave first shot to these "collector" guys that just oozed scalperness. And that store is dirty and small, and that's just the store. The parking lot and the level below need a good pressure-washing or 2. I haven't been in there since June when I grabbed my last paycheck, and I don't know if I want to bother stopping in.

You would be SUPRISED to know you weren't missing anything. :rolleyes:

That place is the worst with Marvel Legends. My God. I have seen a BRAND NEW CASE out and it was still missing figures. This case couldn't have been more than 20 minutes old they said, and the employee could still not explain why the hell their was no good figures. I am not even talking about chases! I wanted a ****in Deadpool and a Juggs like everyone else...yet all I would find are Punishers and Wolvies. I ran into the same problem w/ ML 7...tons of Weapon X Wolvies and NO Visions or Apoc's. I am not one to moan and cry scalper when I can't find what I want, but their was always something very fishy and low rent about your old managers.

They have gotten better with Sports figures. They have NHL Legends and some of the newer two packs. Still no Garnett/Wallace or NBA 7 that I know of yet.

Speaking of which, has anyone else found NBA 7 or the NBA 7 Two-Pack at TRU or Gamestop? I may hit the newer, better Lone Star this afternoon and see if I can find a Wallace since I won't have a lot of time to find one otherwise.

[The Mars Volta]

nba 7 is scheduled to arrive 12/7 or 8 @ gamestop

Nevermind Gamestop in that case. I should be able to find some at TRU for cheaper before they show up at Gamestop...if that is the correct time.

Gamestop release dates are not always 100% correct.

[The Mars Volta]

usually they are because im always hitting them up now because lately they've been the first to get anything around here.

I have noticed that also. They seem to be first with all McFarlane, and seem to have been first to get these for a few years now.

I am giving TRU the benefit of the doubt because they are the first according to sightings. I also read a CNN article saying that a lot of toy companies are giving new toys and HTF toys to TRU first to boost the X-Mas season and hopefully salvage the store from going under.

[Frogman]

i saw nba7 at fw tru today....all chase figures gone. they look great though!

[Iamgoodyy]

Volta come to Frisco we will treat you right. Plus we have the 2Packs.

[The Mars Volta]

If they are hitting Frisco and FW, I should have my Big Ben by the weekend!

[Iamgoodyy]

Out of curosity how many stores do you usually hit up a night?

there was a case of nfl 10 at walmart lancaster...got another ds roy williams...also there was a case of spawn 26 at walmart irving...crap to me cause i dont like those figs.

[mikedanger]

usually 2-3...more if i know something is coming out...it used to be when a case hit one walmart they hit all the others on the same night...not anymore....i live in arlington..so i used to drive up to those walmarts off of george bush turnpike through farmers branch...down to irving..down to cedar hill..then lancaster...then waxahachie...then ennis...4-5 times a week...not anymore.
you must not be married...

[Cowtown]

MAVS fans: Josh Howard (Dec. 3, Northeast Mall) and Eric Dampier (Dec. 5, Golden Triangle Mall) will be signing autographs this weekend. See link for details. http://www.nba.com/mavericks/news/Players_To_Visit_Simon_Malls.html

I found "kind of" Found NBA 7!!!

TRU on Walnut Hill had 2 LeBrons left! That's it! LeBron looked good...but I passed.

They also had about 10 of the Garnett/Wallace Packs. I would say about 75% had the Ben Wallace Afro Version, and their were only a few that had the cornrows. Oh well. The piece is AWESOME. The interaction is great, and they happen to be two of my favorite players.

[mikedanger]

dang how did i miss devin harris yesterday...i meant to check the site for any signings but i forgot...thanks!
ditto...i can't believe i missed that one. :(

damn, guess i missed that too.
me too...i guess i've been slacking.

[The Mars Volta]

Funny. I always miss special events but I find ways to run into players out of luck.

I was picking my friend up from work at the Addison Rink, and he had told me that Mike Modano and some other NHL players were playing pickup. He said Modano tipped him a couple bucks to fetch the Gatoraid and Hydrate drink. He said everyone appeared to be having a great time.

[slubros]

NBA7 at TRU Plano this afternoon. 9 regulars left on the pegs and the only player missing was Ben Wallace.

[mikedanger]

anyone going to the josh howard signing tonight? i'll be at the mall but i'll be buying pants instead...i've been wearing shorts all week and the wife finally said enough!! :)

[mikedanger]

i might head out there for dampier...depends on if i decide to go to the southlake/denton ryan game instead...or just sit on my rump after a busy week. :D

[Crickett]

next time yall get together contact me. I am Dunbar alumni

[The Mars Volta]

went to the josh howard signing tonight...not too crowded when i got there..got him to sign on my ball and he also signed a color 5x7 action photo....nice guy...didnt get pics though sorry

then went to TRU and got a miller and lebron chase out of nba 7.

Which TRU?

I have heard that Josh tends to be a little shy at signings, and sometimes people confuse that with being a jerk.

[Bryan316]

Anyone ordering the Sharpes? I'm kinda miffed about the 1-per limit, personally. I probably wouldn't open it anyways, but still.

[mikedanger]

bryan...just the person i want to talk to. i bought my dad an airhog for his birthday and i was supposed to get a free $20 airhog but they were out of stock. the stoner that was working told me i can just take my recept to any other store and get one for free...is that correct?

[Bryan316]

Basically, they'll refund the Airhog you bought, and rering it with the free one. That way, it's all reflected in the inventory. I'm not sure if you'll have to bring the actual Airhog with you, or if just the receipt is fine since it's dated and you obviously didn't get the free item. Iamgoodyy, am I right?

Heh, stoner. We have a few like that here, but they're not seasonals. I love this time of year:rolleyes:

[Bryan316]

i wasted my money on the kincaids, the 49ers rices, and every other exclusive...sure ill be able to pick them up off of ebay if i really want them....production is so high everything they make now, so i wont have troubles finding it.Actually, I had the current uni Sharpe yanked from my cart b/c it wasn't available any longer. After that happened, I flew through the checkout pages so I didn't lose the other one.

[mikedanger]

thanks bryan...i'll run over to irving tonight and give it a shot. :)

[Bryan316]

no prob! I'd call just make sure you don't waste a trip if they're out, too.

And since one Sharpe was jacked from me, I'm grabbing the 12" white Favre.

[Iamgoodyy]

Yes Bryan is right its much easier it bring the AirHog you purchased in too. I've got plenty of those things in stock too. Did that a ton on those freaking Terrain Twisters this past week.

Frisco TRU received 4 cases of NBA 7 tonight.

Also, I heard a rumour that ESPN will be doing a setup at the NorthPark TRU in the coming weeks before Christmas in support of Toys For Tots and the military. Won't be a live broadcast but I imagine giveaways and gameday girls. Manager friend down there informed me of that this morning.

[Iamgoodyy]

ha. Nah that would be hell with those hotwheels collectors. I was referring to the AirHog Mike needed, we probably have 15.

[Bryan316]

Grabbed my reg. Reggie today. When I got there at 1, I passed on a white Wallace, but after we closed I checked to see what was still there, and a white Lebron was staring me in the face. I guess that'll work.

Cowboy fans: MEL RENFRO appearance, 18 December 2004, 2:00-3:30 at the White Settlement Rd Home Depot Grand Opening (West Fort Worth I-820 & White Settlement Road).

Also, NFL HOFers Joe Montana & Mel Blount have been in Fort Worth (Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum) the past week or so for the NCHA World Championship.) The kids and I went out last night. We saw Blount in the stable area before his ride, and met Montana in the stables after his round. Montana was very nice; my son was able to get a few things signed.

Man, this just dropped. I guess Friday would have rejuvinated the thread, but why not do it early? Grabbed a Rangers Leetch and a 3rd jersey Sakic Tuesday night. Anyone see any SPs as part of WMs reset Clearance sweep? I saw a few Nascar ones, but nothing good.

[mikedanger]

devin harris will be signing this saturday at the AAC NW fan shop from 3-4pm.

[Iamgoodyy]

Whats the date on the Josh and Marquis?

[Iamgoodyy]

sweet I'll be there.

[Iamgoodyy]

Now I have to go buy a ball to get signed.

[mikedanger]

i'm gonna try to hit the harris signing but i'll probably pass on howard and daniels...i got them last year.

[mikedanger]

i can't believe we're getting a julius jones...pretty unexpected if you ask me. hopefully dirk2 will be in a shooting pose...i can't take another lame duck pose for him.

[Bryan316]

I think Mark said that it would play to the strength of his game, which I took as shooting. But yeah, the JJones was a blindside. A welcome one, but still totally unexpected.

Only 1 rule, though: LEAVE YOUR POLITICS AND SHOES AT THE DOOR.I believe this is political, and definitely not any of our business, so please don't let this become your battleground or your sniping post; you already have a thread for that. Thanks.

[Iamgoodyy]

Josh and Marquis were great, unlike most signings I've been too they showed up almost on time. The folks at the dentist's office were nice giving away free crap. My cousin won a pair of sweatbands, and I know Dirk's brother got a fancy vibrating toothbrush. All in all it was fun except for the freezing wind.

I'll check the status of NBA 8 on Monday.

Cowtown Jr and I plan to be there--he's pretty excited about Reggie Jackson being there. We're trying to decide what to get signed--I'm leaning toward a 70s-era Adirondack bat.

Friday, 2/18

Bill Guerin, 2:30-5:00

Saturday, 2/19

Darren Woodson, 10:30-1:00

[Bryan316]

If I can be tempted to wear shorts in January, I'm thinking there should be a few days in Feb. that are nice.

[Bryan316]

And if anyone wants to grab me an extra Ravens Deion or 2, tha'd be great!

[Iamgoodyy]

I might show up for TicketStock since woody will be there and witten.

[Bryan316]

Hmm, Ticketstock board gathering?

[Iamgoodyy]

Hmm, sounds interesting. Time for me to take off from work.

[mikedanger]

looks like reggie jackson has double booked himself...he's supposed to be at a tristar show the same day that he's scheduled to be at ticketstock. his tristar appearance is at 2pm central and his ticketstock signing starts at 4pm central. something tells me he's not gonna make ticketstock. :(

[Noleman]

I'll be in your fair city next week for business and will be at the Mavs/Bulls game on the 8th. If anybody is going let me know and maybe we can meet up at some point.

Also if you are coming here for the NFL Experience let me know and maybe we can meet there.

[mikedanger]

i'll check and see if we have those tickets...i have a 1/2 season plan and i can never remember what games we have.

[mikedanger]

they're playing the bulls on the 8th and i don't have those tickets. :( i do have the heat game tomorrow night though. :)

Mike,
Have you heard anything more about this? I'm not too optomistic. I checked Jackson's booking agent's web site and it has him in San Francisco and not at Ticketstock.

I emailed The Ticket, I'll let you know if I hear anything.

[Iamgoodyy]

The only person that interests me at Ticketstock is Woody, and I'll probably stay for Witten.

Reggie Jackson
Category: Baseball, Hall of Famers

In brief The only player to be named MVP in two WorldSeries, Reggie Jackson earned the nickname "Mr. October" by setting a World Series record for slugging percentage (.755). He's also baseball's all-time strikeout king, fanning 2,597 times, once every four at-bats.

Fee Range: $30, 001- $50, 000

I wish had cc a copy of the email to a few Ticket execs. I would feel better about the response if Jackson's booking agent had Ticketstock rather than TriStar listed on their appearance schedule.

[Cowtown]

do visiting teams for the Mavs stay at the Anatole? anyone know?

Some stay at the Four Seasons, others at the Crescent.

i just got the same email from the ticket...we'll see.

[jbtoner]

Four Seasons and Crescent...never the anatole?

[jbtoner]

crescent seems more logical since its a lot closer to the AAC...you ever go down and try to get autos at a team hotel?

[Cowtown]

Four Seasons and Crescent...never the anatole?

I didn't say never. Depends on the team. You'll have a better chance if a team is at the Anatole. If your looking for Shaq; he has a home in the area and will most likely stay there.

[jbtoner]

Miami Heat is in town to play the Mavs...i always see local people on ebay with autos they acquired at hotels.

[jbtoner]

ferguson jenkins is having a book signing at Barnes & Noble down the highway from Ameriquest Field on Feb 4 at 6pm.

[Cowtown]

crescent seems more logical since its a lot closer to the AAC...you ever go down and try to get autos at a team hotel?

I've done some (mainly hockey), but not much since the AAC opened. Reunion Arena used to be very easy when teams stayed at the Hyatt Reunion--most players would walk from the hotel to the arena, so autograph seekers just waited in the park between the hotel & Reunion.

The Crescent is a waste of time--the team bus parks in the hotel courtyard, thus on private property; hotel security quickly removes autograph seekers. I would imagine the Four Seasons is the same--the Wizzards stayed there when Jordan was with them so he could play golf.

[Iamgoodyy]

On the subject, where do visiting baseball teams stay in Arlington? At the hotel next to the convention center?

[Cowtown]

On the subject, where do visiting baseball teams stay in Arlington? At the hotel next to the convention center?

Either next to the stadium/convention center or across I-30 at the Hilton--both are extremely difficult locations to get autographs & neither one allows autograph seekers to hang around. Your best bet for baseball is at the stadium; unless you like running from hotel security.

Did anyone head out to Barnes & Noble in Arlington (I-30) to see Fergie Jenkins tonight? There didn't appear to be a big turnout.

If anyone is interested, he will be at the Ballpark tomorrow for the Pick-a-Seat event--he's raising money for his charity.

Oh nice work dangerman.

Good find this morning @ Super Target in Cedar Hill off of 67.Found a Lebron James series 7 (White) and a Vince Carter series 7 (Red) and all I went for this morning was MILK :eek:

[Cowtown]

Ticketstock stories anyone?

Went out for Reggie Jackson today. Things got pretty ugly late this afternoon when Jason Whitten left his signing early for an announced family emergency; however, before he left people were pretty cheesed off at him putting initials (JW & his number on items), This was preceeded by an announcement 30 minutes prior to Jackson's appearance that he would only sign baseballs and flats (8x10 and under). A bunch of people had brought bats (my son & I included), jerseys, mini-helmets, etc...; plus vendors were selling these items like hotcakes. Fortunately, we had some backup items with us for such an event. After the announcement vendors refused to make refunds on the premium items (at least that was the situation when we left about 4:15). Things were pretty tense to say the least.

Just wondering if anyone else made their way out today and was caught offguard by the events?

Sounds like Ticketstock is a bit rough this year. Too bad, because it was sounding like it would rock.

Sounds like Ticketstock is a bit rough this year. Too bad, because it was sounding like it would rock.

To the Ticket's credit they are trying to work out a make-up appearance with Whitten for those who were still holding autograph tickets.

Overall, it was a good event--minus the Jackson snaffu. The autograph lines for Jackson and Woodson were huge.

I wondered if you made it out. There must have been another 200+ people in line when they ran out Jackson tickets. The line was so long that folks in the front didn't even bother with going to the back for the chance at a second ticket.

We now have 2 bats that we'll try to get signed at Spring Training--hopefully we 'll run into Santo, Banks, Williams or Sandberg at the Cubs facility.

I didn't make it out due to coming down with food poisoning. Glad you had a good time.

Talk about opposite ends of the baseball spectrum.

[Iamgoodyy]

I received the same information. Froggy I'll keep an eye out for your Marion.

[Cowtown]

Just thought I'd help and pass on the info; wish I could make it to the Ripken signing.

My wife knew about the Ripken appearance and did not tell me.

[Bryan316]

Anyone coming up here for the Canseco signing? And why Hastings? That place is expensive as it is. Couldn't he have at least gone for the B&N across the street? And why no Dallas or FW appearance?

[Iamgoodyy]

I might try to make it out to Ft. Worth for Ripken, I'd have to bust my booty to get out there after class. Does seem odd that Canseco is in Denton. Bryan we need to hook up for that trade.
