Warren, think anyone would get huffy if I sold customs?

No go for it. Let me know if you want a table. Maybe a good chance for guys to just even highlight their work.

[Pluto]

Any of you boys have a few goalies (cheap) you want to move? Just some stuff I need for customs. Cheers!

[nucksfan]

Pluto, what are you looking for exactly, I may have some extra's kicking around, but I may need some as well, let me know what you are after and I'll see what I have for spares. We gotta help each other out so we can get some Luongo's ;)

[Pluto]

I haven't been paying attention to what's been done so far but I'm thinking the Hasek2 pose.

I just found these on a sportbikes forum that I use for meeting up with people to ride with. If I had the room I'd be all over them. Get'em while you can! Located in Surrey.

Anyone surprised with the Legends 5 line up? I see lots of peg warmers are still left over from Series 4, I expect the same or worse dues to the time of year and the line up. LaFLEUR is a good choice but another Orr? We all knew there would be a Blues Gretzky. Not a big Hull fan but nice to see the old Jets Uni again.

[wgsgecko]

I'm thinking the Roberto's will sell well at first and then drop like a Naslund. Naslund is going for $20. Of course we all really know who carried the team this year.

Oh, yes and Just a quick reminder I called a Vintage Roberto back in April and everyone said "Oh no Way"! Okay maybe Rick did but that was it. :P

[madchild1978]

Just thought I would throw this out to the boys in here. I have the signed Neely Bruins jersey I got from oilersRmylife up for sale, but need to unload it by the weekend! I am going to the Canucks equipment sale and want as much $$$ as I can get. So, I offer the jersey up for what I paid for it...$210 usd.....if it is to someone local and they will come to PoCo to pick it up I will drop it for $210cdn . It is signed on the number 8 on the back in silver sharpie, and inscribed with his career goal and assist totals. It comes with a COA and hologram from channelsports.

Hopefully someone wants this bad boy....I am just really in to collecting the game used stuff right now, so I thought I would offer it up!

Thanks Milky for letting everyone know. I have regs, but no more chases at the moment. Probably more next week. As was previously stated the regulars are $16.99, and when I get more chases $39.99. Just letting people know as even the regs are going fast. :D

if anyone happens to find an extra vintage luongo i've got extra ovechkin, heatley, minny modano, tc iginla and dionne if needed

I will trade you Nazzy chase and mohawk McCabe for the vintage Luongo.

[Mats_44]

I will trade you Nazzy chase and mohawk McCabe for the vintage Luongo.

madchild1978, don't do that trade, that is a ripoff for you to trade 2 figures for 1.

Did you not get a PM from bizzwizz? He wants your mohawk McCabe and he has a vintage Luongo to trade you for it, straight up, one for one.

That's a much better deal for you. No need to do a 2 for 1, the Luongo is not rare.

bizzwizz left you a message on the NHL 15 sightings thread:

did anyone here find any chase at lougheed?

[wgsgecko]

I have a Chase Cheevers for a Luongo Chase. PM me.

[nucksfan]

Chilliwack Walmart had 3 boxes of NHL 15 marked West or BC on the floor, already opened, 1 fig removed from each box, my guess, Vintage Lou picked by staff. The boxes were on the bottom of a box pile.

[goalieguy]

I found 6 cases last night on the a skid at the Kelowna Walmart, found a nice sales guy to open 1 for me, and bingo, it had a retro Luongo. Came back this morning for maybe another (trade bait) and they hadn't evened bothered to put them out, must have rolled the skid to the back... but I digress, I have a Tucker chase for trade for a Naslund retro.

Nucksfan, you still do customs?

[Joe Lazy]

Thanks for the Luongos, CRToys!
They look so sharp!

Did anybody around here buy the hockey rink?

[madchild1978]

Man, went to Wally at Lougheed mall last night....DIONS EVERYWHERE. They had probably 25 Phaneufs, 4 Tuckers and 4 or 5 Stall. NO LUONGO :(


Looks like ol Dion is the pegwarmer of the series out here!

Try this place:

West Edmonton Coin & Stamp

Someone in the Edmonton Collectors thread said they had three rinks @ $89.99

[mistagone]

Collectors Den in Lansdowne Mall go them in. Tons of Luongos for $19.99 and the chase was $59.99. The others was $14.99. They also had Naslund 2 chase and Sedins for $59.99. I thought the Staal face sculpt was the best but I didn't bother with getting any.

[CRTOYS]

Well I still have Luongo regs @ $16.99, and possibly acquiring more Retro ones as well @ $39.99. :p

Also those looking for rinks...ahem:

[goalieguy]

I have a BLue Tucker up for grabs. I bought it to try and trade for the Luongo but ended up finding one at reatail.
I was going to take it back but thought maybe someone here would want it. It does have some slight scratching down the front, I'm assuming this occured when pulling it of out the box. I didn't notice it at the store (it is slight) but in certain light you can see it.
If anyone wants to trade for a retro Nasland (opened) that would be fantastic.

I've got the following open Canucks figs. Cloutier, Jovo, Linden, Bertuzzi and Naslund1 chase (All figs are white except for Cloutier). Selling as a set. $20 you come get'em.

What was the going price for the Naslund variant when it first came out? Same as the Luongo variant pricing?

i'm guessing around the same, possibly a bit less because it was naslund and this is luongo, i dont remember myself though, didn't pay much attention to nhl 14

[madchild1978]

Dauntless, how much for the rinks?

[dreamliner]

Since Superstore dropped their price on their exclusive 3-packs to 9.99, I've been trying to chase down the Kipper/Smitty pack. I went to 2 (Metrotown and Grandview) and both has boatloads of Sundin/Alfredsson and no Kipper/Smitty. I'm wondering if anyone recently went to the Richmond Superstore and saw any Kipper/Smitty 3-packs there? Thanks in advance.

No 2 packs at the Marine dr. Superstore. Maybe you should check North Van.

I just noticed that the ice rinks only have hole pegs in certain places.
Which means you can't place players anywhere you want.
Also can it accomodate figures that need 2 hole pegs (eg. Naslund, Phaneuf)

Can someone who has it, or seen it close up give us your pros and cons regarding the rink.

I do have a rink, but I haven't opened the hat trick Naslund to see how it fits. The base for Naslund has 2 holes about 2" apart. The rink does have hole spacing this far apart, more in the corners of the rink. However I don't know nicely it'll fit. There might be some wiggling required.

[Joe Lazy]

tiger tiger, what figures did you set up for display?
Did you put up some advertisements on the boards or did you leave it plain?

I am thinking about getting the rink but somehow I think I might be dissapointed.

J L

[tiger tiger]

Here's some pics. I haven't had time to do the research on the boards. For sure it would look a lot better with the ads and stuff.

There are a lot of guys that have done different things with the rinks. One guy split the rink into 3 sections and had each section on a different level on a bookshelf. So you'll have a behind the crease scene, a face off circle/slot scene, and a blue line/breakout scene.

I love my rink, and I'm thinking of getting another to do the bookshelf thing. The only problem is getting figures that match and are in correct poses.

I wish I knew how to do customs, I'd be all over that. Want to, but just don't have the time now.

[tiger tiger]

you interested in picking up a hasek or a belfour from the in the crease box set loose?

they were non sport figures.

[tiger tiger]

Yeah CR Toys, put me down for six.

I'll take the other 6 from the case.

[Joe Lazy]

I don't know if any of you guys collect NFL figures but I have a few that need new homes.
series 6 - Mcallister, Emmitt, black Gannon
series 9 - Ogden, Bell, Holmes, Seau surprise
series 12 - Mawae Jets
Legends 1 - Sanders, Elway
I can sell all 10 for $50 obo

I also have loose figures... Joe Horn, Duece Mcallister, Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward, Curtis Martin jets, Jamal Lewis... they are great for customs, make me an offer.

Which city and location in Canada.

Canada

[SEAHAWKS ROCK!]

i bought them in Langley & Guildford, B.C.

[SEAHAWKS ROCK!]

this is a B.C. thread;):D

[TCAS25]

Thanks for pointing out the location of the thread. But BC consists of more than just the lower mainland. Although I live in Vancouver without a store or location it becomes a guessing game. Wouldn't you agree?

I was at a Champs in Richmond this afternoon and there were no $29.99 jersey's, so that is why I am asking "obvious" questions.

Thanks for the information!!

Brentwood Mall also didn't have any. I saw the jerseys on the weekend at Willowbrook and i passed. No names/numbers on the back and the material wasn't typical jersey material and felt more like cotton than anything.

Langley had the "cotton" ones you are talking about, but they also had the nike jerseys that are going for $130 in Sportchek. yesterday, Langley had 1 black XXL left & Guildford had a 1/2 dozen of the red ones in various sizes. they don't have names and #'s but are the replica's of the ones they've been wearing the past couple years(more form fitting)

[TCAS25]

I picked up a few last night in Guilford. There still alot of red, white jerseys remaining (M,L,XL). There are only 1 or 2 black (XL). They are great for $29, thanks for the heads up Seahawk!!!

I noticed they had sportspicks there last night, mostly NHL 16 with a few cooperstown players. I didn;t know they sold them.

No problem! i basically got my 3 for less than the price of 1 at Sportchek. i think Team Canada might be switching to RBK like the NHL and that's why they're blowing them out. it was perfect timing because i got all my "old" style ones autographed, so i want to get them framed.

[madchild1978]

Colin, if yer out in Langley and they still have the black XXL, grab it for me and I will shoot you a MOMC retro Nazzy !!! :)

You do them for fun??? Interesting, being that I just saw that Ovechkin on Ebay.

As for those "morons" who rip your work apart, most of us/them are trying to help you become a better customizer. You have the ability to make great customs, but you take shortcuts, miss key details, and overall make lazy mistakes. Take a few minutes to put in the extra effort and make your good work great. And if not for that, don't your customers deserve something that is done right?

[TheMaddenKearse]

I think the Niedermayer looks phenomenal!!! I don't see any shortcuts or mistakes made with that custom. I would be very interested in purchasing that custom.

[Eddie20]

I think the Niedermayer looks phenomenal!!! I don't see any shortcuts or mistakes made with that custom. I would be very interested in purchasing that custom.

Its not a bad custom, its pretty solid, but its not without its errors.

The skates have been completly ignored, including the special guard Niedermayer wears over one of Nike Bauer One90's.

Niedermayer goes heavy duty on the shin guard tape, a detail that looks to have been omitted.

Its hard to tell from the blurry pictures, but the nameplate looks like the letters are far too close together. There should be some spacing there.

The sock stripes are incorrect as well. The gold stripe at the top should be the thickest stripe, not the white. The white stripe should only be about as thick as the black stripe right below it.

I cannot tell from the pictures, but the NHL shield on the back of the right leg may or may not be missing.

Did he get the RBK logo and Stanley Cup Finals logos on the sides of the hat? No pictures from the side, so I can't tell.

On the shoulder, the Stanley Cup finals patch should have a fairly heavy white outline, which is not apparent in the photos. Its hard to tell from these pictures, but the Captain's "C" looks to be a standard collegiate type font, and not the correct style used on the jersey.

Most of it is pretty nitpicky type stuff, but some of it really shouldn't have been excluded. The skates are very easy to find pictures of, so they easily could have been done. The skate guard would have required special sculpting, so I can see why that may have been excluded. The shin guard tape isn't a big deal. The sock stripes really kill me, it was an easy detail to get correct. The rest of the stuff is all maybe's, its too hard to tell from the pics.

The guy who did this custom has the ability to take care of all the things I listed, and thats what kills me. The paint and decal application are solid, and all of the big stuff is there. The head is a great likeness, and the packaging looks good too. But the figure lacks those little details that would really make it excellent.

Zac, your opinions really were not the ones I was reffering to, I have recieved some other opinions via PM and whatnot ripping my work, and I have no time for that. Your comments, I know, are meant to help, but I dont have the patience or drive to get the skates "perfect". I do the best I can, and am always taking hints and tips to try and get better.....ask Chris, I consult him all the time.

[iknowkungfu]

the ducks logo looks too tall and the caps logo looks too small (that wasn't supposed to rhyme)

but other than that they look wicked

[madchild1978]

Thanks iknowkungfu.

[TheMaddenKearse]

Holy cow the Seahawks sold out FAST!!!!!!!! The tickets went on sale at 10:00 am and they were sold out of seats by 10:15!!!! They still have standing room, but i don't like paying $50.00 bucks to stand for 3 hours, especially since the only game left is Arizona in December.

I managed to get two tickets to the Bears game on 11/18 for Sunday night football, but then tried to get two more for another game and come up empty.

Next year i'm buying season tickets so that i can go to my three games per year and sell the rest.

[madchild1978]

^^^ LUCKY!!

We should go halfers on seasons next year!!! I cant go to all games but would be more than willing to split the cost with someone!

[TheMaddenKearse]

^^^ LUCKY!!

I think that's a great idea. I actually just signed up for their "Team Blue" for $250.00 bucks to be put on a waiting list for next years seasons tickets. That deposit will be applied to the season tickets if i get them next year.

Seemed like a lot of money for seasons tickets, but i went to the Seahwks sponsored ticket reselling site and the Bears game's tickets are going for $160.00 each (for $42.00 seats).

You could make good money from these tickets as long as the Hawks don't go into the tank and the fans stop coming like they did for the Sonics.

[madchild1978]

alright Madden, well when you find out if you get the tickets (still a long way off of course) just lemme knwo and I will go in on them with you!

manchild that is great let that guy nit pic. They are great. How do you make the package.

[99gretz99]

Nice looking custom Scotty. Package and all is terrific. Nothing wrong with making a few bucks like most other customizers; and enjoy the fun in it. The likeness on the face is amazing.

PS - I own 4 of Nucksfans customs and those are the standard in my opinion.

[Joe Lazy]

Madchild your customs look great and the packaging is good too!

MaddenKearse, too bad that tickets are sold out already, I was planning to go to the Bengals game on the 23rd. I remember last year there was advertising for game tickets with bus ride down to the stadium. Everything included even beer. Hopefully that is still around for this year. You guys ever heard of that?

Nucksfan that custom Luongo is just sweet and how many times have you heard people say that?

[madchild1978]

Thanks for the coments guys! I think my work is fine, but Zac is right, there is still room for improvement.


There is numerous local pubs that offer the bustrips Joe Lazy. Call around and ask...I think Jimmy Macs in Langley does it, and I know the Cat and Fiddle in Port Coquitlam has done them in the past too.

You could make good money from these tickets as long as the Hawks don't go into the tank and the fans stop coming like they did for the Sonics.while the Sonics attendance has declined in the past few years, it's still at over 90% capacity. The games i've gone to in the past few years have been sold out or close to it. i would think the crowds will be down this year because, like the Grizzlies when they were here, the fans won't show up if an owner is threatening to move a team.

If its only 10,000, that would be great. The Redskins waiting list is 75,000 people with a 95% renewal rate. My math isn't great, but that's a 15-20 year waiting list.

[TheMaddenKearse]

Just wait for the team to miss the playoffs and you will see the renewal rate drop. Seattle fans are very "what have you done for me lately" *cough* Sonics *cough*.

If they go 8-8 or 7-9 this year, i'll put money on the renewal rate only being 80%.

[TheMaddenKearse]

dude, i don't know what your thing is with the Sonics. Sure, they are most likely leaving, but it's got nothing to do with attendance.

Nothing to do with attendance? They had 2,500 empty seats every night last season with only 4 sell outs. Two of the sell-outs were during Phoenix games, probably because of Nash fans going south. The Vancouver Grizzlies had a better average attendance before they announced they were moving.

Are you telling my that the city and fans wouldn't be rallying around keeping the sonics in Seattle and building a new areana if they went 55-27 last year, instead if 31-51? You bet they would.

[TheMaddenKearse]

The new Canucks jerseys look ridiculous. Why the huge VANCOUVER on the jersey?

What other team has their city name displayed in huge font of their jersey that isn't part of the logo?

Yes, the Grizzlies were drawing better. Here are their attendance numbers (note - the last two years seem pretty good for a team that was already announced to be leaving).

Year Total Avg
2000-01 563,218 13,737
1999-00 569,864 13,899
1998-99 417,966 16,719

1996-97 679,422 16,571
1995-96 704,489 17,183

15,955 only ranks them 25th in the league, just beating out "basketball crazy" Atlanta. Sorry, but that is poor.

I know for a fact the Grizzlies (Orca Bay) gave away thousands of tickets for free or as promotions per game to fill the seats and boost the #'s you see there.

I went to 30+ games and never paid a cent for tickets.

[madchild1978]

I was a Grizzlies season ticket holder. Man I miss that team. At least the average guy could get tickets, unlike the Canucks who make it impossible for average people who cant afford seasons tickets to get in.

I'm with you on that one. I remember buying a Jam pack when in grade 12 for $189.00 for the first season. I got them just as much to see the other team than the home team.

Why would they make it affordable to average people when they are sold out?

Everyone I know that goes to Canucks games or have seasons tickets -are- average people. A girl I know that has seasons tickets works at IHOP and paid for them with her hard earned money. She is a hardcore fan and never once has complained about the prices.

I miss 'em too. In the first year of their existence I went to a game that they actually WON!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: A year or two before they left I bought kids jerseys for both my boys, complete with names of two guys who I thought they'd NEVER trade (Bibby & Abdur-Rahim), two guys who they traded pretty quickly - go figure!

[conedog]

anyone have the liberty gretzky chase or the team canada Brodeur chase available? I have the retro hattrick naslund and the henrik sedin up for trade...

[Joe Lazy]

I saw the new Canuck jerseys the other day, I can't believe how ugly they are.
I am so in shock I don't even know what to say.

Are they 3rd jerseys or the main jersey?
I guess the Grosner Luongo that is being released in October is a retro already.

What do you guys think?

[slinger256]

Looking to trade retro Naslund for a retro Luongo. LMK if we can swing a swap.

I agree, they are absolutely hideous!! Why do you need the VANCOUVER over the logo!? :confused: They wanted to incorporate all the logos... but some jerseys are bad for a reason!! They look like an imitation jersey you buy for a kid... or a REALLY bad farm team... not professional in the least!

I understand why they don't lower prices, but i wish they would lower the number of season ticket. That way more singles games would be available that people can afford and they would still have sellouts. I can afford to go to a few games a year, but i definately cannot afford season tickets. With only a limited number of tickets available per game, my chance of getting tickets to Anaheim, Pittsburgh or Detroit is next to impossible.

Right now, companies or executives are scooping up seasons tickets that don't give a damn about hockey. The last game i went to, i had a jackass on my right clicking on his blackberry all game, a goof in front of me answering his cell phone every five minutes and a guy to my left that was READING THE NEWSPAPER during the game. I would have much rather had been surrounded by REAL FANS instead of executives who got them as a perk.

Wow, so the girl that works at IHOP must not have *grown up* bills like a car payment, mortgage etc etc, cause I make a decent living with *grown up* bills, and there is no way I can afford any seasons tickets.


And what I meant was they are alienating the people that cant afford seasons tickets by not making more single game tickets available. You dont think if they capped the season ticket base at 14,000 or 15,000 that every single game still wouldnt sell out? Of course it would. I was not saying the Canucks should lower prices, single game seats are reasonable value if you can get them, but the chances of getting them from ticketmaster are slim to none. I could afford an ice pack for myself, but the average income for a family, or even a husband and wife like my situation, cannot afford season tickets.

[Pluto]

LOL! Well "the girl" at IHOP is actually about 28 and has *grown up* bills. Maybe some people manage money better then others or maybe we just prioritize differently. I'm pretty sure my family is of average income and I have two kids (5 and 2) and I can afford my mortgage, 2 car payments and season tickets. Maybe you spend your money on beer, pizza and crack. Hey, to each their own.

I totally agree with the idea of selling less season tickets and making more available to the true hockey fans. That makes a whole lotta sense... to the fans. But as a business decision you'd have to be a complete idiot.

The beer, pizza and crack comment wasnt called for. I was simply stating a point, and my opinion on the situation. There is no need for name calling. I sure am glad that your average family can afford season tickets though, as I am glad the IHOP girl can. A lot of us cant though, and it would be nice to have a shot at single game tickets once in a while. That was my point in the first place. A lot of people have trouble dropping 4 grand on seasons tickets.

i agree, the last game i went to it was like the people were being annoyed be loud cheering. i take my kids to Giants games. to be honest, i have a better time at my kids hockey games anyways:D but on that note, hockey parents all know how much that can cost. my oldest son wants all the Sidney Crosby pads, gloves, etc. RBK was SMART signing that kid:D

Are you sure its a bad business decision? I believe it is a good business decision for these two points:

1) Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that season tickets or 22 game packs are sold for less than full ticket value. The increase in ticket revenue would more than make up for the fact that this seat may be empty for 1 or 2 games per year.

2) These corporate bought season tickets are more times than not going to people who aren't fans that will support you during the tough times. When the team goes into the tank and people don't look at the Canucks tickets as a great perk, they will stop buying the season tickets. Long term attendance stability is formed by forming a great fan base. Having 1/4 of the building occupied by "fairweather fans" does not help. The only thing keeping Canucks fans happy is the amount of games on TV. If they ever change to a 50% PPV as i rumoured in other cities, they will lose the families and kids growing up. If your family cannot afford to go to the game, nor can it watch it on TV for free, you will be less likely to be a fan. Hockey is a live experience that TV cannot capture.

The NHL is alive right now becuase of the fans, not a television contract. They need fans and i believe that only 25% of the season tickets are bought by hardcore fans.

Couldnt agree more, but I think the percentage of season tickets is more like 60 to 70% bought by real fans.

[TheMaddenKearse]

Sorry, my math is bad. I meant 75% fans with 25% being CORPORATE bought season tickets. I got my mords wixed up.

[madchild1978]

lol, I guess you are spending money or beer, pizza and cr@ck like I was said to have been, lol.

[tiger tiger]

Although I can afford it, and I love watching the Canucks play live, I just can't justify spending that much money to entertain myself. Especially when I can watch it on TV and spend the rest on beer and pizza with my friends. (I have to say no to drugs) :D

I know the experience is different watching it live, but it's also different not having the color commentary. Especially for slow games, where there's no real action. Sitting in general silence with 18000+ people gets a little boring. Listening to Shortty and old Tommy L on the radio can be pretty entertaining too.

I'd sooner watch the Canucks on TV and save my money to watch U2 or the Police live. I know I can just listen to the on my iPod or download their concert in Chicago, but it is a big difference watching a good band live.

Or I'd sooner pay up big coin to watch a playoff game where everyone is excited to be there.

my 2 cents.

BTW, the BC thread is on page 100!!! Sweet!

The beer, pizza and crack comment was not uncalled for and it wasn't directed at you specificly. You're being oversensitive to me saying "Maybe you waste your money". Thats my opinion. My friends would say beer is not a waste of money.
Name calling? Gimme a break. There was no name calling directed at you. I have actually called you sensitive though if you don't mind that.

Of course not selling season tickets would be a poor business decision. You guys think that the multi-millionaires that own and run all the sports franchises in North America are wrong? LOL!

[TheMaddenKearse]

If this was the NFL i would let it go since they dominate the sports landscape. But since it is the NHL, which isn't even considered a top 5 sports in the US, and many teams are bleeding red ink, i think i'm justified.

I just hope that the Canucks 7 years from now when they are in year 3 of their rebuilding project and are struggling to sell ticket don't say "Geez....where did all the corporate support go that filled our buildings last decade? Let's see if the families that we alienated back then will bail us out." They may cringe when they hear "Sorry, we took our money elsewhere (Giants)".

[TheBreeze8700]

i have season tickets..

[madchild1978]

Ya, we know Ryan, but I am quite sure you dont have as many bills as some ;)


By the way I hit u up with an email.


Also Pluto, I apologize.....took the comment wrong. Sorry bro, no hard feelings.

[Pluto]

Unfortunately having a debate online doesn't come across as a debate in person. Things are taken to literally by everyone including myself.

TheMaddenKearse: The reason the Giants are doing so well is because of the Canucks being sold out... :) as well as expensive.If tickets become available the first thing people will do is dump the Giants and go back to the Canucks. A majority of the population have no loyalty.

[Joe Lazy]

I agree, they are absolutely hideous!! Why do you need the VANCOUVER over the logo!? :confused: They wanted to incorporate all the logos... but some jerseys are bad for a reason!! They look like an imitation jersey you buy for a kid... or a REALLY bad farm team... not professional in the least!

I agree it doesn't look like a real jersey.

I heard they put Vancouver on them for an extra boost in sales during the Olympics. Tourists would want souvenirs with anything Vancouver on it. Makes sense, hopefully they change the logo/look/uniform right after that.

Or maybe it is just tradition for the Canucks to have ugly jerseys.

[madchild1978]

guys, I am SUPER CLOSE to a grail of mine and need to unload a GAME USED DANIEL SEDIN white Canucks jersey from 06/07. Tons of marks down the arms and on the elbows, and comes with Meigray documents.

Paid $495 usd, looking for around $350CDN!!!!

Anyone?

[tiger tiger]

I woiuld if I had extra money and space. That would be a pretty cool piece to have.

Good Luck!

[Pluto]

Wow! Here is something I did not know... 06/07 season the Canucks had the highest average ticket price in the entire league! Even Detroit and the NY Rangers were -much- cheaper. They exclude premium games in the average but still... this is insane. I didn't have much of a problem with ticket preices -before- knowing this. I mean, if I was in New York I would gladly pay $250-300 for (the Rangers) a great seat just for a one time life experience. But if I left Vancouver for say 10 years and came back I wouldn't pay over $125 for a ticket. Of course, this is assuming that the info on this site is correct. :)

Anybody get lucky with Canucks tix this morning?

[nucksfan]

I got some through a guy at work who has season's tickets. I got Dallas on Dec 20th. Merry Christmas to me. I usually try and get to 1 game a year and this may be it for me.

[Pluto]

I got that game as well nucksfan. I'm hoping to get a deal for the Calgary game on the 27th as well. I'll probably be off for 2-3 weeks over Christmas so I'll be looking for things to do.
Otherwise, I managed to get a pair of tickets to 7 games total. Nothing but singles left now. Didn't get tickets to any of the "Premium games". I was hoping for the Rangers game in Jan and a second option was the Pens in Dec. Not really interested in sitting by myself. :D

[nucksfan]

Cool, I have no idea what you look like....but I guess I'll see you there ;)

[Pluto]

LOL! For sure. I'll be the guy wearing the Canucks jersey drinking a beer.

[Mirko Cro Cop]

i got flyers, wings, avs, flames and rangers no luck on pens

[Pluto]

You got pairs Mirko? All premium games? Either you're -really- lucky or you're full of it. :D

[Mirko Cro Cop]

^ well ive the got flyers game for sure i get 1-2 games every month from my dads company and looks like the boss will be going to the pens game

[Joe Lazy]

wow, all the games are already sold out (the ones I tried for)

Maybe it's just better to fly down to Anaheim for a weekend and get really good seats there. The Cdn $ is doing well and while I'm there I can look for a Trevor Lindon skate retro. hmmmm ;)
I just can't bring myself to paying over $350 for a pair of tix in my home town.

[SEAHAWKS ROCK!]

i got Detroit, Colorado, New Jersey, Anahiem, & Edmonton. i forgot about New York, but a guy i work with has season tickets & he wants my Seahawks vs. Saints tickets, so i'll have to swing a deal:D

[Pluto]

Good luck with the Pens tickets. They've already been going for 4x ticketmaster prices. It's not a PPV so I'll just watch from home thanks.

I ended up with the Kings, Preds twice, Jackets, Stars, Blues and the Wild. Not the best teams but I seem to find them to be better games. I mean, the Avs games used to be the best by far but after "the incident" the games got way soft. Probably the worst hockey I've seen in years.

[Mirko Cro Cop]

anyone have a extra kipper and smyth 2 pack?
