08/09 UD Exquisite Bskb Grp Break initial interest

rudyjustinfarrell · 03-12-2009, 10:19 AM

I would be interested in a slot, but I thought I read on another post that Exquisite has been cancelled for basketball

I heard the same thing! A shame if it is cancelled! But if it isn't I would be in.

Drew · 03-12-2009, 11:02 AM

I'd be in for a few

jaytee11 · 03-12-2009, 11:09 AM

I was in group break last year that was a bunch of fun. It was a team group break with 5 cases of exquisite. It ended up being like $250 a slot but man was it fun. Only 2 people didn't get any legitimate hits but I guess that was the risk you take.

Just an idea...

Was that the one on Youtube with Chris?

jortiz1012 · 03-12-2009, 11:23 AM

I would be in for a few spots too

I have participated and run TEAM GRP breaks, but man. For the cost of a team a few guys might end up w/ squat. As someone who has ended up w/ squat, that sucks. So? I'd rather go w/ "HIT" slots, at least you are guaranteed something. Of course this might change depending on the checklist. Keep your ears to the ground and as you guys hear anything please post. Like I said, after talking to UD and from an e-mail w/ BO, it seems like the product WILL be made.

rambel · 03-12-2009, 02:33 PM

Depending on when this occurs, I would be interested in at least 2 slots.

lilman323232 · 03-15-2009, 07:27 PM

Is this going on still or no?

rudyjustinfarrell · 03-15-2009, 08:05 PM

Still waiting on confirmation that the product is being made AND a price quote from BO. I will bug them mid-week and update this thread w/ any further info. So, until UD comes out and says NO EXQUISITE BSKB THIS YEAR it's still gonna be a go. FYI... if this turns out to be HOTT I will only break 3 cases MAX. That will give a chance for other Group Breaks to get filled and hopefully everyone will get a big batch of Rose, Mayo, Lebron, Kobe, Jordan or whoever rocks your boat.

jubei777 · 03-23-2009, 11:53 AM

fyi - called into UD to get a status on my crappy premier break and some spa football. the rep checked (put me on hold) and said there's no release date but it's still slated to go forward. take that for what it is. thx

pmac9286 · 03-23-2009, 12:18 PM

im in for a spot

stalion2121 · 03-23-2009, 12:24 PM

yeah i would really want a few spots in this

JellyMolly · 03-28-2009, 08:31 PM

I just get a confirmation from the UD retail store that this product will be made. It's 100% sure because Lamar Odom signed a stack of Kobe/Odom Dual Auto Exquisite after the signing session last week.

Well I guess UD isn't sure what's going on either. I spoke with Shane and he checked it out and said it was not going to be made because the release date would be June. With the loss of their license it was very unlikely they would be able to release it.

ND3 · 03-28-2009, 10:12 PM

I have heard from sources it will be made. Good luck with the break

WaxDestroyer · 03-28-2009, 10:15 PM

I want in!

gizmo675675 · 03-28-2009, 10:22 PM

I would take at least one spot.

jdb34 · 03-29-2009, 01:27 AM

I'd prob get in on this

Blazinquake · 03-31-2009, 12:05 PM
