McFarlane Sportspicks

[Morgbug]

Just lmk if you want them from Canada.  Always cheaper to get them south of the border, but I'll help if I can and you want it.

[Holographic Elvis]

Right now it just seems that GameStop is getting them, and they are only getting 8 figure cases, something new that McF is trying apparently with GameStop. 

If anyone comes across a Gagne chase, think of me.  It'll be tough to score that here in So Cal.  LMK what figs you guys are looking for so I can keep my eyes peeled.

Picked up all the MLB 12 I was looking for yesterday.  My buddy's TRU got 3 cases in.  All had Rolen as the chase so he picked me up one of those.  Went to the toy show and grabbed Mussina and Nomar regs for $7 each and then went to TRU later and found a lone Gagne reg in the back of one of the pegs.  Great looking piece BTW.  Now all I'm after is a Braves Glavine for my buddy (huge Braves fan.)  LMK what any of you are after so I don't pass anything up.

One of the super cases from the NHL warehouse finds found it's way to Winnipeg.  Buddy of mine got the Bruins Bourque, Avs Bourque, red and white Yzerman and both no logo goalies   I think two other Bruins Bourques ended up here as well.  Guess I should have ordered a couple of sets

[JesseVader08]

Bourque?  Isn't he from one of the first series?

[Morgbug]

Yes, Bourque was originally in the first series as a repaint chase, both in the Avs and Bruins uniforms. 

Thought the sportspicks fans might get a kick out of this picture.  Please excuse the poor quality, but our family room has no good light and it's in the basement.  All the flash shots washed out, but you'll get the idea.

I went to North Dakota/Minnesota today and before I left, I decided to check the trunk.  We get charged customs fees on anything we cannot prove we purchased up here.  It's not quite that nefarious, but anything that I didn't have a receipt for they could have claimed I bought in the US.  Anyway, darn good thing I did and obviously I hadn't emptied the trunk for a while.  Take a gander...

Smuggling SPs again Brent.   

[Morgbug]

Nah, I find **** in the US.  I'm not there enough to realistically expect to find anything though.

Coulda been worse, there used to be a Grey Schilling and a regular Ortiz as well (on their way to Calgary) and Jason's regular Kiprusoff and blue Nieuwy aren't in there either.  I also put the two Bruins Espo's in my office
Last week I shipped out a blue Bossy as well.

Can't imagine why there's no money in my bank account

[Morgbug]

For Mikey...

[Mikey D]

Cool, although his jersey isn't as dirty as his pants.

Ordered a couple of David Ortizes off of Amazon.  Hopefully won't have any problems like some have had with their Unleashed order.

[Holographic Elvis]

Some good lookin figs in that next NFL wave.

[knashdx]

I would sujest to anyone that is picking up or has purchased that Curt Schiling/Albert Pujols 2 pack from TRU and still has the receipt that they run to their local Target store and if the store has reset they might be able to find the same set for a lot cheaper.


TRU - $19.99

Target - $4.24

That is not a typo. I purchased a set yesterday at Target for that price, and used my TRU receipt and returned it so I could save a few bucks.

[Holographic Elvis]

I saw that report on Spawn.com as well. 

[Holographic Elvis]

You guys may want to hit your GameStops.  Lots of reports today about people finding SportsPicks for $4.99 on clearance and lots of people scored chases from the new MLB line.  I myself got a regular Steve McNair for 99 cents today at my GS.

[Nicklab]

Scored the Carlos Beltran chase today.  I really just stumbled across this one, and finding a chase of a NY player in this area is always a dicey proposition.  It was just dumb luck this morning.
