Wow, those case assortments are terrible! I only hope the ones you get today are good!

#**69582** 02-23-2008, 09:13 AM

8 per case huh? Explains why I found 1 Coop fig yesterday....the Sandberg chase, which makes it even stranger? Being a Cubs hater, I crushed the bubble

Hopefully on my way home from work I find a Aaron at the Brookfield TRU

I went to the SP section to see they had put out Cooperstown 5 last night. They put out 2 of the 8 packed retail cases, so they had the following 16 figures. And NO variants as I have seen in other posts....these 8 pack retail cases often do not have a variant...neither of these did.

x8 Hank Aarons
x4 Mickey Mantles
x3 Ryan Sandbergs
x1 Mike Schmidt

They didn't even get any Eckersleys or Cobbs

I picked up 1 Aaron just because I couldn't resist even though I should have 2 cases today.

Also picked up a Wave 4 25th Anniversary Storm Shadow.

Also picked up a 30th Anniversary McQuarrie Snow Trooper and left another on the shelf for another collector to find.

fair haul... but those cases are a better haul!

i love cases!

auburnco2000 · #**69595** 02-23-2008, 09:27 AM

Looks like Case 2 has the Ty Cobb variant!!!

Noleman · #**69596** 02-23-2008, 09:31 AM

Hope there are some full sets in there at least!

auburnco2000 · #**69597** 02-23-2008, 09:34 AM

Case 1 Breakdown

Eckersley Variant

No Eckersley or Schmidt Regular (Okay with me )

#**69598** 02-23-2008, 09:35 AM

nice I should have had you wait to send the Miller, incase you would have gotten an extra Aaron...I would have bought it

Noleman · #**69599** 02-23-2008, 09:36 AM

Nice assortment! Hope there is a regular Eck in the other case!

Noleman · #**69600** 02-23-2008, 09:38 AM

4 Aarons and 4 Mantles is a bit much though! Good thing there are Atlanta/Milwaukee and Yankee fans in this thread!

Bill, I just got a 50" plasma and I freakin LOVE it.

It's kinda hard to explain but I think the plasma has more lines of resolution. I'm not really sure, all I can tell you is this: It will pay for you to get a 1080i or even better 1080p TV. When you go into the store if you look at a 1080p tv with a blueray player you will be blown away.

Right now I think all HD TV is broadcast in 780i-780p so if all you have is cable or SAT and a DVD player and have no intention of getting a blue ray you might save yourself some cash.

My biggest holdup with the plasma is that they used to only last about 4-5 years, this is apparently no longer the case. I was told that the new plasma's are good for about 10 years depending on how much you watch. The one major drawn back to the plasma is "image burn" if you leave the TV paused (dvd or dvr) for a long period of time it's possible the image will burn into the screen. You won't have to worry about that with an LCD.

Plasmas that are good: LG, Panasonic,Samsung, and Sharp- this might be top of the line.
LCD-I'd say Sony not to sure about others

If you want to talk more LMK I'll pm you my number.

auburnco2000 · #**69602** 02-23-2008, 09:40 AM

Noleman · #**69605** 02-23-2008, 09:44 AM

LMK how much I owe you and I'll get Paypal over ASAP.

Also I may make a TRU run myself today so if there is anything anybody is missing let me know and I will look.

No doubt....very happy with the case breakdowns and getting two different variants instead of two of the same.

Which figs did you need just so I can be sure?

I won't have any extra Ty Cobbs unfortunately due to just the one being packed.

Noleman · #**69607** 02-23-2008, 09:47 AM

I need regs of
Aaron (duh!)
Cobb
Eckersley
Sandberg

Noleman · #**69609** 02-23-2008, 09:49 AM

And I will send you the $$ for the Magic ticket at the same time.

And I keep forgeting to ask, will Eric UF be going to the game we are going to (different seats of course). I would like to meet him if he's there.

emmitt22 · #**69610** 02-23-2008, 09:49 AM

Nice cases Bau. Congrats to everyone getting some very cool Cooperstown.

Noleman · #**69611** 02-23-2008, 09:53 AM

You could do it too Jeff! There's always a chance to get backin the MLB game.

Sounds good...will put together the Eck, Aaron and Sandberg for you. Would have been nice to have gotten more than 1 Cobb in two cases.

I'll be buying those that I see.

Sounds good...I'll have to ask Eric. I can't remember. He and his brother usually rotate who goes.

Cool, I'm going to go hit TRU and see if I can find a Cobb.
