Official Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex Thread!!

[Bryan316]

Yeah, so I finally got around to making one. I mean, if these other areas can have one, why can't one of the more heavily board-populated areas have one?

My goal is that this can become anything from a local flea market to a chatroom to a sightings thread to a gathering-planning thread.. Can this work? Yes, if you want it to.

So from west of Ft. Worth to east of Dallas, and all the way up here to my thriving metropolis of Denton, let's post away!

Only 1 rule, though: LEAVE YOUR POLITICS AND SHOES AT THE DOOR.


Anyways, allow me to introduce myself. My name, as I suspect you already know, is Bryan. I'm about to start my 4th year at the University of North Texas and I'm majoring in Marketing. And be warned: I'm very proud of my school and I let it show. I also work at the TRU in Lewisville, so I can chime in on sightings/SKNs and whatnot, but I'm not going to raid the back or rape cases for you. If I can't do it, I'm not doing it for others. However, if you want me to hold a video game for you when it comes in, I'll be happy to. Double standard? Maybe, but ask me if I care.

Anyways, I hope to meet more of you on here, since it seems that our numbers have blossomed recently. And with all the new faces since last fall, we really need another Gathering!

[ledzepp_2000]

I guess I'm the first one to post on the "official" DFW thread. About myself, My name is Steven, I'm about to start my 2nd year of college at Texas A&M Commerce, and I live in Rowlett. I work at a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market (no sportpicks:(). And you can tell by my signature and my sign-on that I love Led Zeppelin and the White Stripes. That's pretty much the basics about me. Let's hear from some more DFW people!

[dharrismavs]

hmmm...i'm sure most of you know about me all ready

[dharrismavs]

oh and i work at target for a 2nd job overnight.

[Frogman]

Good idea Bryan. Let's get another gathering together....who wants to do it??

[mikedanger]

i've done 2...i retire. :)

[DIRK]

Me name is Merv...Its kinda out there, but hey I like it:) Im only 14, as you all know, and well I dont really have a job...Next summer I should be a camp counselor for a camp out in Lewisville near where Bryan works. I live in North Dallas, go to Parkhill Junior High and next year will start at JJ Pearce High School...Oh yeah I start 9th grade Thursday:(Enough of this crap

[slubros]

Guess you all recognize me too. I'm the other one (besides dharrismavs) who gets out and about hitting all your stores across DFW! :D

Probably one of the older guys around here (36) and have been involved in this hobby since the SLU days - over 10 years. From the Midwest originally so my favorite teams aren't in Dallas but I still follow the local teams anyways.

bryan316, good idea to have our own thread; I was getting really jealous of the Houston thread. :p

[DIRK]

He's a Cardinal fan...BOOOO! I was wondering, what pick did they take Pujols with? He was one of those low pick steals, right?

[lolo123]

DIRK, YOU'RE ONLY 14??????????? you have no business with a blue Finley. It's like an adult beverage. It's dangerous! hand it over, young man, and nobody gets hurt!

[DIRK]

Yep only 14! Been on here since I was 12

[dharrismavs]

He's a Cardinal fan...BOOOO! I was wondering, what pick did they take Pujols with? He was one of those low pick steals, right?

pujols was selected in the 13th round in the 99 draft

[La Lone]

Hey all,

I think I am the senior raking SP freak of the group. Checking in at age 44, living in Carrollton. And yes, a card carrying member of the Steve Moore fan club. I have attending four of our get togethers so far and even though Mike showed up. I still had a lot of fun. :D

Do we need to put the next person to get the party started to a vote? We are long over due.

Any one need any NFL 8's?

Current extras laying around pissing off the wife are:

Mcnair
Lewis
Green
Holt

[mikedanger]

I have attending four of our get togethers so far and even though Mike showed up. I still had a lot of fun. :D



who gave the red wings fan a membership card?! ;) :D

[bananadance76]

steve moore? like the hockey player?

[DIRK]

Haha I forgot he for some reason has his own Fan Club

[Iamgoodyy]

I'm from the raging metropolis called Frisco, go to UTD in Richardson and 19. I belong to GAC.

[Cowtown]

Proud member of the Steve Moore Fan Club.

LaLone, I'm glad to know at 42 I'm not the senior member of this motley crew.

College football season is upon us; perhaps a field trip to Frogman's alma mater?

[mikedanger]

College football season is upon us; perhaps a field trip to Frogman's alma mater?
that means that frogman would have to give up his coushy 50 yard line seats to slum with us up in the cheap seats. :)

[dharrismavs]

TCU chicks hmmm, i cant wait. but, i think being 26, id be one of the younger ones there.

[mikedanger]

TCU chicks hmmm, i cant wait. but, i think being 26, id be one of the younger ones there.not really...i'm 26, B316 is legal now, foots_mcgee is in his twenties, frogman is, well, young at heart, and lalone has grandchildren about your age. :)

[dharrismavs]

not really...i'm 26, B316 is legal now, foots_mcgee is in his twenties and frogman is well, young at heart. :)

good cause i dont wanna hang around a bunch of old fogies. and if i remember correctly frogman's wife was hot when i met him at TRU!

[mikedanger]

whatever happened to goaliefrk?
the original DIRK? i haven't seen him around in a while.

[mikedanger]

good cause i dont wanna hang around a bunch of old fogies. and if i remember correctly frogman's wife was hot when i met him at TRU!
easy now...you don't wanna mess with the godfather's wife! :)

[DIRK]

the original DIRK? i haven't seen him around in a while.
Whats that supposed to mean?!!!

[Titanhorns]

Hey if any of you guys see foots, tell him I want my $30 back. :mad:

(Former Plano and Denton-ite here)

[Titanhorns]

Dampier to the Mavs?

[dharrismavs]

Dampier to the Mavs?

donnie nelson says the mavs have no interest in him and nor would i if i was running the team.

[mikedanger]

Whats that supposed to mean?!!!goaliefrk was around a few years back and everyone liked to give him a hard time because he was about your age...except that he was very sensitive about it. you have a little cred with the blue finley though. :)

anyone else hearing that the mavs are getting dampier? EDIT: guess so.

[dharrismavs]

As a member of the Steve Moore Fan Club, I must warn you to be respectful of Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Danger can handle herself just fine, but if you mess with Mrs. Moore, you'll have to deal with me.

im not being disrespectful, im just saying she was hot. i think she was, dont fully remember though.

[DIRK]

dharrismavsfan your only 26?!

Im not that sensitive jeez guys...Dont make me cry over here...

[DIRK]

Apparently

[dharrismavs]

dharrismavsfan your only 26?!

Im not that sensitive jeez guys...Dont make me cry over here...

man, how old did you think i was? geez....

[mikedanger]

Apparently

[DIRK]

You look alot older...

Is that what you have to do to get credit around here?!

ND KALU OUT FOR THE SEASON LETS PARTY!

[dharrismavs]

Anybody interested in my Najera or ARod auto'd jerseys


Najera - White Mavericks authentic jersey. Bought at charity auction, no COA

ARod - White ARod Rangers authetic jersey. UDA Certified, comes in original UDA box

how much? i get 2 paychecks on friday so ill have money

[dharrismavs]

anyone seen a mcgrady rockets jersey at retail yet? i dont have a CC to order online. i dont wanna wait as ive been looking for 2 weeks now, nor do i wanna buy on ebay cause so people are trying to get $90. guess, ill just have to drive down to houston to get one this weekend.

[dharrismavs]

how much individually?

[Cowtown]

good cause i dont wanna hang around a bunch of old fogies. and if i remember correctly frogman's wife was hot when i met him at TRU!
TCU home schedule (& possible conflicts):
Sept 2 -- Northwestern (Labor Day Weekend)
Sept 11 -- SMU (The Ticket's Football All the Way)
Sept 25 -- USF (Yom Kippur)
Oct 23 -- Houston
Nov 20 -- Southern Miss
Nov 27 -- Tulane (Thanksgiving Weekend)

Perhaps the best Course of action is to pick a game; have each person be responsible for purchasinf their own ticket; and, meet up in the north end zone. I do not know when TCU's homecoming is scheduled; that might be a date to avoid.

Any suggestions on a date? As one of the "old fogies," I'll make sure my walker is in greased up, my Depends are fresh, and I'll try not to beat the group down with 'good old days' syndrom.;) :D ;)

[dharrismavs]

hey im stocking health and beauty at target overnight so i can get you some depends if u need em

[dharrismavs]

everyone needs to pick a date so i can make sure im not working that night

I can vouch for the Najera jersey. I got a Finley 8"x10" and VanExel left shoe from the same place. :)

[dharrismavs]

how much did you pay for the finley 8 x10.

www.mavgear.com has auto'd mavs items for sale

[Cowtown]

Steve, have you ever eaten at Pedro's Trailer Park?Which Steve in the group?

Put this Steve down for a no.

[Frogman]

I go to work and leave you guys to control the thread and look what it's come to :)

TCU homecoming....Oct. 23 vs. Houston

And yes....she's hot!!! Now that's enough.

[Cowtown]

Is Pedro's Trailer Park on White Settlement Road near Angelo's?

[dharrismavs]

I go to work and leave you guys to control the thread and look what it's come to :)

???

[Cowtown]

Yes, the band I manage is playing there in late September
I've seen it, but I have not been there. My wife's office is not far from there. Is it a club, restaurant, both? When is the band playing? Would the date fit with a TCU football date?

[Frogman]

I'm in for a TCU game (since I'll already be there anyway) :)

And then Pedro's Trailer Park after the game!!!!!

Looks like the gathering is taking shape. Now wasn't that easy!!!!!

[Cowtown]

How about September 25 -- TCU vs. USF? Pedro's Trailer Park for postgame?

[Cowtown]

Unfortunately, with kids in school, I can't make it to the Thursday night concert. I guess I really am an old fogie.:(

[Cowtown]

29 seems like ancient history!

[Frogman]

I'd say Day 1 of the DFW thread was a success. Bump for Day 2! :)

[La Lone]

not really...i'm 26, B316 is legal now, foots_mcgee is in his twenties, frogman is, well, young at heart, and lalone has grandchildren about your age. :)Ouch, that left a BIG mark. Come on Mike. You thought I was only 18 when you first met me. :spawnskul

[La Lone]

And.....can we keep the trashing down during the day? I can't throw back until late night. While all you young folk are sleeping.:rolleyes: No fun arguing with a empty thread. :(

[mikedanger]

Ouch, that left a BIG mark. Come on Mike. You thought I was only 18 when you first met me. :spawnskul
:D LOL!

bump

[Frogman]

mike thinks everyone is at least 18 when he meets them....that way he avoids any legal trouble :)

[mikedanger]

mike thinks everyone is at least 18 when he meets them....that way he avoids any legal trouble :)
shouldn't you be working or keeping a close eye on your hot wife? ;)

[Frogman]

shouldn't you be working or keeping a close eye on your hot wife? ;)

the guy from signature collectibles which is the sponsor that brought all the guests to event said sayers starts at 4:00 and they will let the first 300 people for him starting at 3:30. so make sure you their in plenty of time, which probably means between 1 and 2.

Me and my bald-spot getting Bob Lilly's autograph at last year's FATW. I'm surprised this pic didn't crash the Ticket's web site! Could a bad comb-over be far away?:D

[Frogman]

Could a bad comb-over be far away?:D
Not the comb-over!!!! Go clean-shaven instead :D

[mikedanger]

i have to agree with the frog on that one! shave the head and then we'll start calling you something cool, like "stooks". :)

[Cowtown]

Not the comb-over!!!! Go clean-shaven instead :D
If I loose much more on top, it'll be shave what's left or look like Larry on the Three Stooges!:eek: :D

i shave my head everyday. feels better, everyone should do it. :D

[The Mars Volta]

Peeks on in.

[Bryan316]

Wow, this thing might actually work...

If the next gathering is watching the Horny Toads barely edging out some lowly Florida team, I'll have to miss that. I'll be in Waco watching the owners of 3/4 of the state's conference championships stomping the :spawnskul out of Baylor. 52-14 last year, so I'm thinking more of the same. And those 14 points were against our backups. But with a new linebacker corps, who knows how we'll be. However, our offense will once again be the dominating force in the Sun Belt.

Has anyone seen a 12" red Vick lately? I keep hitting the 3 good ones up here and haven't found a damn thing. Though I did score a Pats Bledsoe and a white Lewis last night in HC. But yeah, if you find a 12" red Vick, keep me in mind.

Oh, hit your TRUs if you want any older video games or accessories. Our green tag 50% sale is active, even if it's not signed. There are some good deals out there. I'm not real sure what figures are tagworthy, especially after there was a second email with like 250+ items that were accidentally marked down and are now not valid. I know MLB8 isn't, and neither is NHL7.:(

And yeah, Frogwife is hella hot!;)

[Frogman]

And yeah, Frogwife is hella hot!;)
Slamming the Frogs and hitting on the wife in the same post!!!!! You should know better than that!!! :D

[Bryan316]

Hey, go grab a copy of today's FW Star-Telegram. At the top of the Sports section, there's a great article on Andrew Smith. It gives you an insight into what most of us are feeling right now.

[Cowtown]

I want to go see Sayers, tooGot home about 30 minutes ago from Texas Stadium. Perfect weather for this event--a cool August day!!! Cowtown Jr. & I went for Gale Sayers, but we also got Paul Hornung and Mel Renfro. We passed on Charles Haley and Drew Pearson. Lines weren't too bad, 300 autograph tickets per signer. Easy to get autograph tickets for Hornung and Renfro. The 300 spots in line for Sayers were taken up by about 2:30 to 3:00 (30 to 60 minutes before tickets were distributed). Pearson's and Renfro's autogrpah lines moved very slowly; they were very personable and posed for pictures when asked. Sayers was polite but very business-like, posing for pictures not an option.

Cowtown Jr. enjoyed the Locker Room tour and running around on the Texas Stadium turf.

Overall, a good event.

[jasonwantmore]

Yea, Im from the carrolton and there is a Target near Lewisville where I get all the Variants before they hit the selves. -Hebron Hawks #72

[Bryan316]

I'm taking it that the Target is the one on 3040...

Gah, I want my 12" McNair and Holmes, but they're still a ways off!

And this is dorm move-in week, so we have all of these freshgirls walking around:D ;)

Mmmmm, freshgirls. *Homer drool*

Man, is anyone else hyped about the college football season? I went to our first 'fall' scrimmage Saturday morning, and man, I can feel another run coming on! I just have to wait 'til 9/11 to see my team in person, since there's no way in Hell that I'm going to Austin on the 4th.

[Frogman]

Man, is anyone else hyped about the college football season?
uh....yeah....duh!! ;) :D

[Bryan316]

uh....yeah....duh!! ;) :DDid you know that we were this close > to getting LaDainian Tomlinson, but, off the record, it all came down to who was going to fork out more?

Play your cards right, and you might get to deliberate on whether you'll play us in the Big Easy!;)

Is anyone actually watching the Olympics? I'm all for the USA, but they're just...there.

[edampier1]

[Cowtown]

...went to that convention on sat.......got hornung's auto...DId you stick around for Sayers, and have you checked the digital photos from the event taken by www.okcpartypics.com (http://www.okcpartypics.com)? The crowd wasn't too bad, and the weather was great.

can't make the tristar show...i'll be in austin this weekend.

thanks for the heads up on the mcnabb, but that pose really sucks. i hate looking at the 6 inch version so i see no reason to get the 12 incher.

i saw quite a few mcnabb/strahan 2 packs at the TRU in times square while i was up there...it's a pretty sweet looking set.

[Cowtown]

TRU in hurst had a couple mcnabb/strahan 2 packs last night

[edampier1]

TRU in hurst had a couple mcnabb/strahan 2 packs last night

they came in last week. this week is the 12" white mcnabb for our TRU's

[Bryan316]

Yeah, we got our McNabb/Strahan packs at the end of last week. I grabbed mine on Saturday, and it is pretty cool. I might give McNabb the arms from his first one. And I think I might get the white 12" McNabb over the green one for variety, so I'll be on the lookout.

Anyone need a white Ahman Green? I now have 3 of them, and I only really need one.

School starts Monday, and I'm actually ready to get back at it!

[Titanhorns]

Cool. Heading to Big D tomorrow or Saturday for a couple of fantasy football drafts. I'll finally get my hands on this 2-pack.

Did it ring up $9.99 or $19.99?

[Bryan316]

$19.99. It was fixed around Tuesday or Wednesday of last week when they sent out the "Deleted Items" list.

[DIRK]

Got my white McNabb at TRU yesterday. They had Helton/Sosa and McNabb/Strahan 2 packs.
Oh yeah...Frisco TRU. Theyre all out of the white McNabb's too.

[rx3732]

I feel so left out......
Been on internet lockdown at work so I've been going thru board withdrawls for about 2-3 weeks now. Brian, when did you start working at the Lewisville TRU?
Mike, you're on my S--- list:spawnskul ......I'll email you tomorrow.;)

[DIRK]

CHAN HO P-P-P-P-P-PARK, BABY!

[mikedanger]

Mike, you're on my S--- list:spawnskul ......I'll email you tomorrow.;)
did you finally realize that rx3732 jr is really starting to resemble me or soomething? :)

[slubros]

Bryan, ygm.

As info, saw a 12" Vick at Garland WM on George Bush and one at the Rowlett WM yesterday.

[mikedanger]

Cool. Heading to Big D tomorrow or Saturday for a couple of fantasy football drafts.
and i'm heading to austin for a fantasy football draft tonight. it should be fun...this is my first live draft. :)

[Bryan316]

Brian, when did you start working at the Lewisville TRU?
Beginning of June. It's a lot closer to where I live, and I can work during school. And the average age is closer to mine, so I mesh a lot better. Plus the R-Zone is so much better than the one I left.

Dom, I might be able to grab both white McNabbs in the case, so I'll let you know how that goes.

[Bryan316]

Oh, anyone going to the Boys/Titans game on Monday?

[La Lone]

did you finally realize that rx3732 jr is really starting to resemble me or soomething? :)


:) sorry Ryan, had to laugh at that one :)

[La Lone]

Oh, anyone going to the Boys/Titans game on Monday?
Was offered to go but just to hot for Texas Stadium in August. Makes me drink to much. Tuesday morning comes way to quick after attending Monday night games .

[Bryan316]

Well, the HC Wal-Mart put out 2 more cases (at least) Friday night, so while I was still on my "I enjoyed AvP" high, I grabbed 2 white Greens:rolleyes: , 2 white Mannings, and 2 white McNairs. So now I have like 5 white Greens:mad: and 3 white McNairs that will hopefully get chase Chad Johnson and Jonathan Ogden. Or maybe I'll be sitting on them for 2 years or more, like with the baseball I have.:(

[DIRK]

ERIC YOUNG WAS SAFE:( :(

[Bryan316]

The Rangers so need to step it up. We have the talent to be 2.5 up, not 2.5 back.

[Bryan316]

So, who wants to help me with an opener Dolphins Seau?

[Frogman]

I picked up 12" White McNabb and McNabb/Strahan 2 pack this weekend. And of course, I can use some help with the NFL 9 chase figures if anyone finds some.

Haven't seen Red Vick yet.

[mikedanger]

here's who i ended up with in my very first live football draft. i had the 9th pick in a 10 team league. in no particular order...

J. Lewis
D. Culpepper
D. Davis
J. Horn
P. Burress
K. Jones
Baltimore D
M. Booker
T. Duckett
J. Plummer
D. Branch
W. Green
R. Longwell
S. Jackson
T. Gonzalez

[mikedanger]

nice job! you seen any red vick 12" on your side of town yet?
thanks!

i haven't been out hunting in quite some time...are they a WM exclusive?

[Iamgoodyy]

I'll check my TRU tonight to see when NFL9 is expected to hit DFW. I'll post the SKN number too for you guys.

[Bryan316]

I just want one of those Stealth Preds to open, but I don't like the painted parts. Maybe a little acetone will help with that...

And the TRU comps won't show when exactly something is showing up, just that it's due to come on one of the next few trucks.

NFL9 SKN is 056246

[ledzepp_2000]

Hey, if anybody wants a 12" Red Vick, there are 3 of them at the Rowlett Wal-Mart.

[Bryan316]

Toyfest: Half crap, half good, half with great potential.

A few of the 3" packs are good, Billy Wagner better have an Astros version, Griffey 2 better be post-swing, everything NBA except Reggie Miller will stay on the pegs (except for chase figs), and I can't wait to see the Dragons and the AvP figs! I just want Lex and Chopper/Gill Pred. Anything else is a bonus, especially a new Alien with correct legs.

And I'm claiming the first few blue Reggies. I need one for my wall and one to open to have shooting over Shaq.

[slubros]

Hey Bryan, please don't forget to email me.

[Bryan316]

Done.

[slubros]

I saw 3" FB packs yesterday at a Gamestop - facemasks don't look too good.

Also, Conan figures at GS for the toy collectors out there.

[Bryan316]

I'm so torn on the 3" NFL. I really want them, but most are no different than the 6". Who am I kidding? We all know I'll buy a few.

[Frogman]

GO FROGS!!!!! 8:30 on ESPN2!!!!! :)

[Bryan316]

Hope you didn't hit the stores in Lewisville. I need one to open.

We got the 3" NFL...things. I'll get 3 of them tomorrow and I'll have to snag the Favre/Brady when we get more. I still say they suck, though.

[Frogman]

you gonna help out your local buddies with those???? :)

[Frogman]

sometimes...but i know several of the other guys collect non-sports

[slubros]

Three simple words to ajamisonmavs:

Please quit bragging :mad:

[Iamgoodyy]

TRU Frisco received 2 cases of NFL 9, 1 case of 12" Manning, and 1 case of 12" Urlacher, last night. The NFL 9 shouldn't go out because the pegs are full, but the 12" should be available tomorrow morning.

[slubros]

With all these Gamestop sightings around the US, has anyone else besides ajamisonmavs seen NFL9 around town?

I have a case on reserve and haven't received a phone call yet saying that it's in.

ajamisonmavs, I consider you as friendly competition. ;)

[slubros]

Bump. Just saw a TRU San Antonio NFL9 sighting. Anyone seeing anything around here?

[Frogman]

Nothing at my Gamestop yet....probably middle of next week.

So are we going to help each other....or are we on our own???? I think it would be cool to start trading with all the local guys first. I hope others will join me. My extras will be offered here first. :)

[Bryan316]

I could use a 12" Stealth Pred if anyone wants to hook me up, along with an opener 'Fins Seau. We now have a ton of white McNabbs, and a pair of 12" Mannings and Urlachers.


CLAW 'EM OFF!

[Frogman]

sorry dom...don't need the mcnabb or i'd take it. i already bought one.

i might need a manning and urlacher if my tru doesn't get them soon.

[Iamgoodyy]

bigdom which part of Denton do you live in? I travel up there alot to see my girlfriend(freshman) at UNT. I can bring you one from Frisco if you want for cost.

[Frogman]

i have so far:

culpepper chase x2
holmes chase x1
urlacher chase x1
dolphins seau x2
bell chase x1
plummer chase x2

Anything you're interested in for Urlacher, Seau, Bell, and Plummer??? Let me know. :)

[Bryan316]

We did get them. There were 4 (:eek: ) Urlachers in the case that went out. Some guy with a mustache and jeans that are 2 sizes too small got to them half a minute before I got off and could check. Grar!

Sam Goody's are supposed to get the SPreds, right?:confused:

Oh, MBF, how's the Expos Johnson?;)

And yes, I'm holding my head in the deepest of shame right now after last night's abysmal performance. 10-1!

[Bryan316]

Yeah, I was next to the guy who rang you up. Bigdom returned the Johnson and the PS Rivera earlier last week, like Tuesday I think. So it's like a Circle of Life thing, or something. I'll have to check that VR Suncoast tomorrow. I do have one question: Is the left painted arm molded in clear plastic, or is it normal solid-color plastic, or is it too hard to tell?

If anyone snags a black Chad Johnson opener, I'd love to huff that NTS. Same with the Seau. And I need a mimp white Ogden whenever they show up. Aside from Mikeninja and Dom needing their mancrush's all-blue chase, what's everyone else need?:D ;)

[Frogman]

hey mike...are you trading any of those nfl9 chase??? i could use several.

i'm still looking for bell, urlacher, johnson, seau, plummer and ogden chase.

anybody need nfl8 chase???

[Frogman]

i could use a plummer if you want to unload it. lmk

[Frogman]

that's cool. thanks, but i'll pass on the predator.

[slubros]

GS Parks Mall, GS Arlington Lincoln Square, and GS Irving are the only 3 i know of that got theres. guess everyone else will get em tuesday, cause im not sure UPS delivers on monday.
Thanks for the info.

supposedly, frisco, lewisville, Central off of Walnut Hill, and Mesquite were the 4 TRU's to get NFL 9. that is according to their system.
Can't believe you found something at Mesquite - worst TRU in DFW as far as stocking new product. Nothing at Plano TRU earlier today.

[Bryan316]

I met slubros last Wednesday and he told me what you looked like. So I kinda put one and one together. And Dom didn't damage them. He just grabbed openers if someone wanted them. If MD didn't hook me up earlier, I'd need that opener Rivera.

Steve, isn't it past your bedtime? And do you have a white Lewis?

[Bryan316]

oh, and the VR GS got NFL9, but the other 2 within .5 miles didn't.

[Bryan316]

Oh, and I feel that it's my duty to call out the other guys:
EasleyK, who's custom skills make him too good for us.
SilentMav, who doesn't like anything non-Mavs related.
mjshirley, who for keeping the horrible my.unt.edu system up during the frantic registration period of last week had an excuse, but can suffice no longer.
PSUandsomenumbers, which I can't explain why he doesn't like us.
TheMarsVolta, who can't help but get stalked and doesn't want to drag that guy into our house.
Dallas_Cowgirl, who talks like [she's] a vet but is a noob and is possibly from around here.

anyone else I'm missing?

[Frogman]

bryan316---i've got a white lewis if you need it. what nfl9 have you seen so far? i still need most of them.

[mjshirley]

mjshirley, who for keeping the horrible my.unt.edu system up during the frantic registration period of last week had an excuse, but can suffice no longer.

Don't blame me for that train wreck! Someone decided that they wanted a system that would wear out your mouse at least once a semester. :D

[slubros]

anyone else I'm missing?
Pretty comprehensive list, Bryan. The only person I could think of that I haven't seen for awhile is wwe/footballfreak.

BTW, did you get ajamisonmavs autograph? LOL I should've gotten one while I had the chance.....

And DIRK, when you get back from Beantown, you've got to tell us about Fenway Pock :)

[Bryan316]

bryan316---i've got a white lewis if you need it. what nfl9 have you seen so far? i still need most of them.Nothing but regs so far. But if I find any of your needs, it's yours. I still owe you for that white Nash.

[Frogman]

I'll hang on to the White Lewis for you.

[Bryan316]

Thanks!

[Bryan316]

Oh, I got the 12" Urlacher today, and it's greatness. I don't know if the 6" fig has it, but the base has what looks to be part of the midfield 'C'. Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend!

[DIRK]

Got a white Holmes today and a 12" Urlacher:) My case comes into Gamestop tomorrow, so I should have more!

[Bryan316]

So yeah, it's 9:35, we're closing, and it's now ok for employees to buy stuff. I know we have NFL9 in the back, so I run back and grab a case. Now, I know that it's "whole case or no case" and that the few that I'm not getting can certainly fit. All I want is my set, minus the Plummer. I also grabbed a Cable and Juggernaut from ML6 before I clocked in, so those were on the pegs for most of the day. So I have my 9 figures (2+6+1) in the case, as I plan to use it to store some of my extras in. The closing manager asks me how long I've had them on hold, and I go back and forth about how we've had this series on the pegs, and the rest of the case could fit and blah blah blah. So apparently we're not allowed to put out a case because we want stuff from it, because it's like it's being "sold from the dock." I'm not real sure *** that means. Then I'm told that it has to be on the pegs 24 hours before we can buy it. So I asked, "So, what, I should just order from an online dealer?" "Yeah, that would be easier." What the hell. So what, my money isn't good? Or isn't good enough? Sure, it'll sell to whoever, but you're telling me that INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING MY ****ING STORE, I SHOULD SUPPORT THE COMPETITION?!! "People comlain to Corporate, and then they call us wondering why we're selling from the dock." So yeah, **** that. If I walk in and check the pegs and see something I need, I'm grabbing it. My money sure as hell is as good as someone else's, though I know that someone that reads this will complain about me like a little *****. I didn't cherry pick 4 cases and buy all of the chase figures and short packs, nor am I buying for the sole purpose of scalping. However, each of the cases was already cut open, though no figures were missing. I thought there couldn't be open cases in the back. But whatever. I played by the rules as far as I understood them. So yeah, if any of the other managers talks to me about it, it's on.

Anyways, I'm a bit heated about that right now. I'll calm down by Thursday.

[Frogman]

do you want to "share" one of your johnson chases??? i could use one.

[Iamgoodyy]

Bryan maybe you and others can help me with this. There is this 15-17 yearold kid ,has black hair and this time it was bleached on the top, that comes into my TRU right when each series comes out. Usually he times it to the day, luckily NFL 9 snuck into the metroplex. Each time he always returns figures from prior series to get store credit. Like tonight he returned a Mulder, Finley, and Pujols. Before he has returned NBA 3, and NFL 6. NFL 6 was when NFL 8 came out. Anyways, if anyone knows who this kid is or if he even reads the boards, tell him to stop. Its quite rude and only clogs the pegs, especially for me as an employee. I don't have a problem with returning stuff to stores, but return something that we don't already have 10 of like the Mulder. Plus don't do it everytime a new series comes out. Don't buy it unless you can actually pay for it.

There is one time we told him that we had NBA 6 in the back, and he waited for 3 hours for us to tell him we didn't have it really.

[slubros]

lamgoodyy, which TRU do you work at? Just wondering....

If it's Plano, DIRK, he could be talking about you? :confused:

[DIRK]

Nah not me. Me and Chris are pretty cool and he seems to not mind when I brought in a McNair and Green regs the other day, and helps me out with stuff:):)

[Frogman]

sold last night to others. im expecting more today so if i find another one its yours frog.
thanks

[slubros]

Nah not me.
Sorry, DIRK, now that I know which stores lamgoodyy works at, I know it's not you.

[Bryan316]

Anyone else getting the 12" Rice? It goes a lot faster if you have other things to work on, or other sites to browse.

And if anyone sees an ML6 Deadpool and Phoenix, think of me, ok?

[Frogman]

I'll get a 49ers Rice if they are still available when I get home from work.

[Iamgoodyy]

Bryan which Phoenix are you looking for? Does anyone have an extra Rice they would like to trade or sell?

I've got a damaged Falcons Favre with no handwarmer that I'll t/s to someone cheap.

[Bryan316]

I'd prefer the green Phoenix. While I'll eventually want the chase dark version, I want to get my openers first.

[Frogman]

haven't seen anything new...i'm still trying to find a black chad johnson

[Bryan316]

so am I, but no takers on the BST. Since things have calmed down, I can save up for next Tuesday and the only Trilogy that matters.

[Iamgoodyy]

I'll check the status of the 2 packs tonight, plus NFL 10.

[jaguarfan16]

hey guys ive been collecting since 2001 and i didnt know there were so many dfw collectors! im good friends with dirk! anyways id like to help yall out to.

just a heads up

[Bryan316]

I'm wondering why they don't think we'll get them.

[Bryan316]

Exactly. And why wouldn't we get our own exclusive?

[jaguarfan16]

dude im 16 i dont have that much money i dont scalp im just telling yall trying to help you guys out just what i hear dont have to say im a scalper and everything i was just tryig to be nice!

do any of yall have a cards 12" emmitt for sale i never could find one or a 75th anniversary davis or ricky williams saints for sale?

[Iamgoodyy]

About 2 weeks ago I looked in the system for the Holmes/McNair 12" figures and the wearhouse in Midlothian was scheduled to get them. The other wearhouses were scheduled to get them this week. Bryan next time you are working time in OPNSKN into asgard and then the skn number for the Holmes 12" it will list it. I'm not sure why we wouldn't get them, hopefully its changed though, I'll look again the next time I'm in.

[Bryan316]

Emmitt will never look right in red.:(

[NDogg44]

What store do you work at Iamgoody? I'm from plano, I just haven't posted on this thread much.

[Iamgoodyy]

Met up with bigdom tonight to pass off the 12" Urlacher and what does he do? Straps it into his child's carseat in his truck. Only a true Sportspick collector would strap their figures into babyseat.

Nice meeting you Dom. Hopefully Bryan and I can hook up soon.

Knowing Dom, he should have let the Urlacher drive instead ;) :D

[Bryan316]

Haha!

Haven't checked into the next 12" wave, though we have a few Urlachers and Mannings. No Manning 2-packs yet, though.

[Iamgoodyy]

Frisco received a bunch of 12" Urlacher and Manning, plus 2 Manning brothers packs. I know Plano had some earlier today (Friday) not sure what they have left.

[Bryan316]

Frisco received a bunch of 12" Urlacher and Manning, plus 2 Manning brothers packs. I know Plano had some earlier today (Friday) not sure what they have left.Then I'm definately stopping by L'ville in the morning.

[jbuck]

anyone out there that has a seau fins, i am willing to trade.
i have:
nfl 9 extras:
ogden
holmes variant
chad johnson-true variant nameplate-black letters with the orange border is the most difficult one to find.
cooperstown:
reggie jackson in his oakland
nolan ryan in his astros

[jbuck]

oh, i am so sorry. allow me to introduce myself. my name is jerry and i currently reside in southwest ft worth. lots of collectors this way.

[Frogman]

hey jerry...i'm in southwest fort worth as well. welcome to the thread :)

[Iamgoodyy]

All right I checked the system this morning and here is what I found:
12" Holmes/McNair should be in the stores late October, probably around the 23rd or so.
NHL Legends should be hitting stores early November.

Sadly I have yet to find an NFL 10 SKN or UPC number. I looked for about 30 minutes this morning. So I'm not sure what the ETA is on those.

Hope that helps everyone.

And Bryan, what is the deal with your Screamin Eagles? 0-3 is just pitiful. I wonder if Baylor could get a bowl game.

[Bryan316]

That game sucked as much *** as our team does. We have NO defense. No pass rush, no linebackers, and we play a Cover 3 that looks like a Cover 0. Our offensive line has problems against lowly teams but can run block against Colorado where we ran for 247 yards. Our QB doesn't seem to be what we need. And our coach apparently has no intention of playing to win. Our coaches have not instilled a sense of discipline with this team and show no signs of doing so. We lost 7 players to academic probation over the summer, 1 died in auto accident when his blood alcohol level was .13 and he had weed in his system, and 1 was arrested for writing hot checks. I will forever support my team, but I cannot support the coaches. Watch for us to make ESPN's Bottom 10, and rightfully so.

[Cowtown]

I'll be in Waco watching the owners of 3/4 of the state's conference championships stomping the :spawnskul out of Baylor. 52-14 last year, so I'm thinking more of the same. And those 14 points were against our backups. But with a new linebacker corps, who knows how we'll be. However, our offense will once again be the dominating force in the Sun Belt.
Sic 'em Bears.:D

Baylor in a Bowl? I don't think so; there are not many possible wins left on Baylor's schedule.

[jaguarfan16]

i do if my rice doesnt get here this week should have been here already!!!

$35 si awsome i will take it ill get back to ya soon

[Bryan316]

I hate how they just have to have a signature. I think today is the final delivery day, since I was heading for Waco Saturday and was in school yesterday when they tried to deliver. And my apartment complex just refuses to sign for and hold packages. So I just signed it and left it on the door. I'm not really afraid of it going missing. I just want my Rices!

[Frogman]

is that $40 for all 3????? if so, i'll take 'em :) j/k

[Bryan316]

Finally got mine yesterday. Good thing I just left the sig slip on the door. Man, this thing is beautiful! Also grabbed a Manning Bros. 2-pack at the L'ville TRU. Now I'm wondering why I spent $20 for a whiny brat backup and custom fodder. And I had to fix Eli's facemask with a box cutter. As much as I hate to admit it, I have very "sheepish" tendencies...

Oh, what happened to mikedanger? Haven't seen him around lately.

[Bryan316]

http://www.spawn.com/toys/football/nfl10/roywilliams/images/nfl10_roywilliams_packaging_01_dp.jpg

I soo need an opener!

[Frogman]

mikedanger hit 5000 posts and vanished!! he's doing fine....but i wish he'd come back

[Cowtown]

mikedanger hit 5000 posts and vanished!! he's doing fine....but i wish he'd come back
I had a mikedanger sighting at last night's Rangers game. He is alive and well. I too wish he would come out of retirement.

[Bryan316]

YES!! First win of the season, and it was sweet! 19 straight conference wins! The temperature was nice, perfect for football. And we actually spread out the offense!:eek: I still feel that our D gave up more than it should, but the pass rush decided to finally show up, and that played a big part.

http://www.unt.edu/imageassets/newhomerandfour.jpg

[Iamgoodyy]

To you Spawn collectors, Series 26 came in at TRU Frisco this evening. Not sure if it will go out. The figures look really sweet especially the green one.

[Bryan316]

I'm very tempted to get the Arsenal Of Doom Spawn (aka Gun Spawn) and Spidey Spawn. I want another few cases of AvP to come in, so I can try to grab a maskless Scar Pred (if he's actually coming out).

[Bryan316]

Anyone else miss the board?

Got the 12" Holmes on Saturday. It looks as amazing as the rest of them.

[Iamgoodyy]

You ordered your's Bryan? I still need to get you that Brown Cable, but I won't be coming up to UNT for quite a while if ever now.

[Bryan316]

We got 2 in on Friday's truck. I made sure I went Sat. morning to grab one.

*YGP*

[Iamgoodyy]

Frisco TRU finally got the McNair 12" today, but the Holmes couldn't be found. Should get it in later this week.

[Bryan316]

Can you say Portis/Lewis 2-pack?! We got 8 Friday and they're either on the shelf or in the overstock. Can't wait to get home and open mine (and my brown Cable :))

[jaguarfan16]

hey rbyan does lewisville tru still have some portis-lewis 2-packs left, aslo chris did frisco tru get the portis/lewis 2-pack yet, thanks guys!

[Iamgoodyy]

Haven't got them yet, probably this week. Marvel Legends 7 will be out this week too, at all stores except for Northpark (I think).

[Bryan316]

I think there were a few left in the overstock. I can't get mine to look like the pics, so I'm experimenting with who else can fit. I wanted to put a white Ahman Green getting hit by Urlacher 2, but I can't get Urlacher's shoulder to look like it's hitting Green in the chest. I might just wait and put a white Roy Williams in one hole and a black Chad Johnson in the other, like Johnson's about to get jacked in the back.

[jaguarfan16]

my mom picked up the last lewis/portis 2 pack today at lewisville toys r us at least it was the last one out! lol also bryan i heard that yall are getting nfl 3 inch series 2 next friday is this true?

[Bryan316]

Beats me. I'm not working this week since it's Homecoming week and I have to help build the bonfire. Of course, I also have a project or 2 due and can't seem to get those done.

[DIRK]

Tad any update on the Portis/Lewis 2 pack?

I went to take back a video game at the TRU on Walnut Hill and those *****s wouldnt take it! I didnt have a receipt:(

Bernie just went deep:(

[Bryan316]

No receipt = no video game returns. With the high rate of shrinkage in that area in general, we don't want you to steal the game then return it for store credit and get free money, so we treat everyone the same and don't do it. It may suck, but that's just the way it is.

[sloanfan16]

Figured I hop on this one and introduce myself- DJ, 27... waiting on my bar results and the nhl legends...

also wondering if anyone needs a 12" white jersey McNair???

[Frogman]

hey sloanfan16...welcome to the thread :)

[DIRK]

Anyone know if Roy Williams is doing the radio show this year??

If you're not doing anything Saturday night and want to see what it's all about. And I just had to highight a few things...

Mean Green Football Returns To Action On Saturday Night

This will be the last scheduled meeting between North Texas (2-4,2-0) and New Mexico State (2-4, 2-1), ending the Mean Green’s second-longest rivalry for the foreseeable future. The two teams will meet at Fouts Field in Denton, with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT. The game will be broadcast by ESPN Regional and shown live in the Dallas/Fort Worth market on KFWD Channel 52 with Sam Smtih and Jack Lengyel calling the action. It can also be heard live on KWRD (100.7 FM) and KNTU (88.1 FM) in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Both North Texas and New Mexico State were idle Saturday after recording Sun Belt Conference wins Oct. 9. North Texas extended its winning streak over league opponents to 20 games with a victory at Utah State while New Mexico State defeated UL-Lafayette in Las Cruces. North Texas has not lost a conference game since Oct. 6, 2001 when it lost its first-ever Sun Belt game at UL-Monroe 19-17. New Mexico State is in its last year as a member of the Sun Belt after deciding to join the WAC beginning with the 2005 football season.

This has been one of the most highly-contested series over the years despite North Texas’ 21-9-2 all-time advantage. The last three meetings have all been decided late in the game and have all had championship and bowl berth implications. The Mean Green has won five straight games against the Aggies and has won nine straight in Denton. No current North Texas player was born yet when New Mexico State last won in Denton in 1972.

We really need to steal your "Wear Purple" thing from the Season Ticket Guide. No white, no gray, no black. Just a sea (or more like a pond) of green.

I went yesterday, picked up a Seau for a guy even though it was $20. His money not mine. Also met my favorite comic artist Michael Jantze and got his auto on several books. Wizard World should be better for those of you wanting to score some sportspicks. Last year there were several booths with some.

Just wanted to pass along a 3" single pack FB sighting - yesterday at the Garland SuperTarget.

I keep checking the SuperTarget's around here, and nothing. I'm not sure where this Stocking Stuffer aisle is, as the only one with anything remotely related to toys is the aisle with the cheap ornaments and such. Maybe there's an aisle in Toys with this stuff on it. Or maybe I'm crazy.
