2011/12 The Cup question

hearseguy · 09-04-2012, 12:01 AM

Does anybody know when the release date is? I thought that I read somewhere September 11th, but I don't remember where that would have been. I have not done much hockey since 05/06 but would like to jump back in with a case of this years Cup. I have not even seen a presell anywhere. Does anybody know anything?

September 11 is correct.

mortuus · 09-04-2012, 06:52 AM

what a date to set have they no respect really?

Riverdome · 09-04-2012, 07:00 AM

Same could be said for June 6th or December 7th but today's youth would have no idea why those days are also historically relevant. After tragedy we must eventually move on.

If we let everything in the world stop on that day the terrorist have won.
We should definitely hold firm and remember the lost, but I see no problem with conducting business as usual on that day.

Where can you pre-order this stuff?

newton615 · 09-05-2012, 02:31 AM

Anyone know if Dougie Hamilton will be in this product? Or is there a checklist in general?

It seems UD is playing this pretty close to the chest, outside of a sell-sheet and some pictures they tweeted out last week. I actually tweeted at them, said they had just hand-packed everything, and that it was in fact due to be released on Sept. 11th. Secretive would be an understatement, but I think that makes the excitement level rise. I have seen nowhere to preorder, I have talked to a guy who said he isn't sure how many cases his distributor will let him order yet, so I'm guessing most people haven't ordered it yet either. It should be in the next few days for sure, but who knows?

Only one online dealer has a pre sale right now (in Canada).

I have been told allocations will be made to dealers this week, at which point we may see pricing and pre sales.

Finally going to do a full case, so I'm looking forward to it!

Very cool, thanks for the info!

screamingdc · 09-05-2012, 01:36 PM

found a site doing box and 3 box case pre-sales. a lot higher, even with the currency exchange of the canadian site. i'm holding out for a 6 box case as soon as those become available but if anybody wants to get in on these, pm me for site info, so as to not step on BO's toes.

My LCS said they are getting 3 of the 3 Tin Cases in and that they will be there by next Tuesday the 11th. She told me Upper Deck specifically stated that if they come early that she is not to even think about selling them, so either they are really protecting this product or that's what they say about everything. All I know is, I got my 3 Tinner for $1200 and if my wife finds out, I am a dead man.

That's a bit far north for me. I touched base with one LCS owner, need to call another for backup. I just want one tin!

screamingdc · 09-06-2012, 05:33 PM

ugh, some of the online prices i've seen are pretty ridiculous. this is one time i wish i live in Canada or at least had a better lcs.

DEboxbreaker · 09-06-2012, 08:58 PM

My LCS was able to get me one lowly box and he is giving to me at his price... As long as i open it there.

boombaby_rm31 · 09-07-2012, 07:31 AM

how much is a price of a box right now?

Kent Clements · 09-07-2012, 08:00 AM

$500.00 per box

Really??? My LCS will be selling single boxes for $425. If someone wants me to pick one up for them and ship it, I would and you would still save about $50.

solt0131 · 09-07-2012, 08:51 AM

I can get a 3 box case for $1000, why are you guys paying so much????

But you are selling them for $1,499 on your website and $509.95 per box? Isn't that why we are all paying so much?

Nyannitello · 09-07-2012, 12:43 PM

Wtf is up with these prices...I purchased 4-5 cases last year and these prices are insane atm

mortuus · 09-07-2012, 12:58 PM
