Ryan Braun bobblehead with Uecker home run call button

[bobble brian]

Supposedly the Brewers gave 1,000 of the these bobbles away ... nobody that I talked to (including ushers and people near/around me) had seen or received one. Can somebody verify that these were actually handed out? Also, if anybody has one I would be interested in buying or trading. Let me know.

Thanks.

I got one, and it's a very cool bobblehead. Of course, with my luck; mine did not work and guest relations told me I was unable to get it exchanged with anything but the regular one... That sure seemed pretty crappy to me, but oh well. Some other friends in my group got some though, and they do work.

[berniebrewer4life]

My fiance and i both got one, unfortunetly, mine broke off at the foot. So i will have to glue that one. anybody know a good glue to use on these bobbles?

[hofcs]

I will buy one if any one parts to with one.

[billyhallfan]

these break all the time, other talking bobbleheads can be worth a pretty penny because they always end up breaking, or they only make noise for so long, etc...

[madgrad]

Just want to put it out there that I would be interested in one too...but of course this would be after bobblebrian and hocfs get theirs since I am third to post about wanting one and don't see the point in opening a new thread about it.

[jonny5t]

although its probably a long short with being fourth on the list, i would like to get one too!

[zachlaka]

First off I would also like to see a photo of this bobble as this is the first I had heard of this?

 

My group of four I believe all got the regular bobblehead if this talking one does actually exist.

 

If they are real put me in line for one behind everyone so far http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Read above the pitching match-up... I had 12 in my group and we didn't get one either.

[hofcs]

If there were only 1,000, then the odds were roughly 1 in 45. Given almost no one knew about it, how many actually survived/will surface will be interesting!

[ekutchery]

Its like a crazy conspiracy theory... there are people on craigslist looking for the pinstripe version as well. 3 versions of one bobblehead would be nuts.

[hawing]

And here I thought the Brewers might actually have stopped the madness and had just a bobble giveaway, with no special alternate version.

[jjkoestler]

Sadly, there is a talking version of the bobble. I thought the madness was over too.

 

From the Brewers website.

 

About 1,000 of the dolls come with a special feature. Push a button, and a tiny speaker embedded in the base of the bobble plays Bob Uecker's radio call of the home run that propelled the team into the playoffs.

 

"It's really cool," Braun said. "I've never seen a talking bobbhehead before."

[jjkoestler]

And they are on ebay...

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I'll put myself down as looking for one of these behind everyone else.

[jjkoestler]

How much do you think these will be worth? Also, how durable do you think they will be? Will they break after pressing the button 10 times? I'd hate to pay $50-$100 for one that works only to have it break a week later.

[ekutchery]

I'd be willing to guess these things are going to go for ludicrous prices... that ebay auction is already at $85 and there's 6 days left on it.

[madgrad]

I always thought the retros went for ridiculous prices but I've managed to get them for reasonable prices over time. This reminds me of the first Bernie/Fang from this year that sold for close to $50, but a few weeks later you could easily get it for $15-$20. The higher it is bid up to the more entitled those who got one think they are...and I guess I don't blame them based on supply and demand. In any event, those of us who want to find one should prepare to be shunned by our offer price until this fizzles out. In the mean time I'm going to find some way to rig the speaker from a $4 Hallmark card to be Ueckers call of the home run from last year. (That's a joke, of course.)

 

By the way, unless this thing has a battery compartment that can be changed I don't know if I'll even buy one. I'm in for the long haul, and I don't want this bobble to be nonfunctional in 10 years with no way of fixing it...

[Jofis11ep]

I know it's really a long shot, but I would be interested in one of these too....they seem pretty cool

[WisconsinSportsRule]

The one on ebay is up to $125. Why did the brewers have to make an alt? Yeah its awesome, but I try to get retros and this will be absurd pricing.

Totally agree with you. I was so happy to just walk in the game with one ticket and go sit down right away instead of looking for an alternate bobble.

 

They should have done what the Giants have in the past and made every bobble a talking bobble that would have been awesome.

 

Really don't think I could ever spend $400 for a bobblehead http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Bikeage77]

Zach, you would do it if you HAD to (if it was the only bobble you needed to finish your collection). Just sayin http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[BobbleFever]

These will probably always go for quite a bit of money. The funtionality of them? Most other talking bobblehead break over time.

 

On another note...anyone want to trade one? I can trade an 03 Beloit Prince signed I'd be willing to part with. I may also have an extra 05 Huntsville Sheets.

[PrinceFielder28]

i didn't know about this until now i will have to check the three i have at home.

[Invader3K]

I'd love to get one of these, but the only one I see on eBay is at almost $150 now with five days left on the auction. That's too steep even for a huge Braun fan like myself.
