OT: Charity Bags

[Jaded-Fan]

Anyone grab a bag this year besides me?

Mine arrived today and the cardboard FedEx box it came in was super damaged and looked like it went through the ****ing war. My travel mug was dented and one of my bobbleheads (Bourque) is missing the blade of his stick. And it wasn't in the box so who knows what the hell happened with it?

No jersey for me. I ended up with a signed Recchi puck and a....wait for it:

Signed Zatkoff puck.

All in all the bag I got last year was much nicer/arrived much better.

A Zatkoff puck......that ain't right.

I just gave it to a friend for a six pack of beer.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I got a Bonino and Trottier puck.

What the hell am I going to do with a XL Tank Top? ugh.

No Jersey.. Womp Womp.

 

[Son Goku]

Trottier puck is cool though

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Trottier puck is cool though

no doubt. Overall I the contents are nice, some things seem ridiculous though (like said tank top thats wayyyy too big and a ****** bluetooth speaker), but the bobbleheads are cool..

I actually like that they went with a backpack this year than a gym bag.. quality of the bag is still pretty ******, but whatever.

 

[PenguinsCanFly]

I got an Errey puck and a Cole puck.... but I got a signed Letang jersey!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Anyone think that the quality of this year's bobbleheads kinda sucks compared to last year's??

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I didn't even take mine out of the box yet.. I thought they would be exactly the same as last years.. why aren't they???

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

if you go to the game that they sell these at and buy them there.. how likely are you to get a jersey? Im thinking maybe I should try to go to the game next year when they're selling these

Incentive to buy the new bags again this year??

I don't mean the same players, but the same series...

That's a good ending! Haha

lol wut? Did that one came with a signed hot dog too? ("This one is NOT for you Phil. - G.Roberts")

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Going to the game tomorrow and going to get a bag in person. Does anyone know which entrance they would be in? The main one?

Thanks!

Give Pens customer service a call tomorrow, they will steer you right.

$250 to maybe get a jersey, tad expensive.

EDIT - imagine getting Bonino or Maatta, I would want a refund.

Well it is supposed to be about giving to charity, so...

Yeah the price point is just a little off for me. If it was $500 and a guaranteed signed 66, 71, or 87 then I would pay without thinking twice. Frankly, I wouldn't even want the rest of the stuff or the bag it came in...

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

you guys realize it IS for charity right? haha

Would sooner give them $100 and tell them to stick the rest of the stuff which is basically filler. Put the remainder towards a jersey and drag my ass to practice and wait, with a pen

Yes, a charity run by a multi-million dollar company.

More power to them for getting that kind of coin out of people. Just saying it's out of my range.

I believe they team up with Lemieux Foundation which has done nothing but insane wonders for Pittsburgh and the children of our city. No joke... I think Mario has done more for this city that isn't hockey related than he did hockey related. His legacy should include both.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I ordered a bag another bag online this year (the $250 one) for the third year in a row.

I like how the "Pittsburgh Is Home" Penguins documentary DVD is coming with it. As I have still yet to see it and I'm a huge fan of having a physical disk copy of stuff like that for my hockey DVD/Blu-ray collection.
