    Bump...still looking for these two.
  2. madgrad
    I was able to get extras of Axford and Wolf, and I need McGehee and Greinke. Anyone interested in trading? I'm also looking for the Counsell bobble, and willing to pay $10 a piece (interested in two.)
  3. madgrad
    Had 12 of them...gone!
  4. madgrad
    I have multiple of these tickets available for face which is $80. Comes with buffet and two free drinks in the Landing Zone. Let me know if you're interested.

    The Bernie was a nice addition. The Yount above was from Upper Deck. They also have a Molitor version and, of course, both in alternate dark blue jerseys which seem to be harder to find (go figure!)

    Definitely the birthday package bobblehead from 2004, the only year it was given out. Since then they have done the Sliding Bernie. My son has both, the 2004 one I obviously bought since he wasn't born until 2008. It usually runs more than $100 since they are so rare. I put a picture up with the three he's actually gotten on his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd birthdays the last three years. Hopefully someone in the Brewers promotional office sees this post to get the point I've made in the past...change the birthday bobble to something new! Anyways, hope this helps! BTW...I haven't seen one for sale in quite some time, so good luck if you're searching. http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l429/snoopeclipse/CIMG1250.jpg http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l429/snoopeclipse/CIMG1249.jpg

    These are the ones from the stadium, like the old Knucklehead style. If you have one or both for sale or trade let me know.
  8. madgrad
    No, it can be for anyone, any age.

    Price is $35, you get your name on the scoreboard PLUS the sliding Bernie bobble, a nice quality Brewers backpack, and a "Happy Birthday" Brewers ball. No need to go to customer service...just call the Brewers ticket office to set up a date.

    In a friendly manner, I have to disagree about the quality issue. The bobble could easily be mass produced and I'll tell you why. Flip over the bobble and I will GUARANTEE it says AGP (Alexander Global Promotions) on the bottom. Every QUALITY bobble I have from the Brewers the past few years (the two Miller Lite bobbles, VERY detailed, the Bernie Stitch n Pitch, the Chorizo Stitch n Pitch) are all from AGP. Even the Admirals Uecker, which is another high quality job, is from AGP! Anytime this company creates a bobble it is spectacular! Not like the other crap given out by the Brewers and every other team in MLB...their SGAs are from BD&A. I believe they have a contract with MLB for creating SGA bobbles, but I couldn't figure out how the Brewers got around this for a few of theirs named above...I have to think that they are contracted for MLB players, so the Brew crew can use AGP (the better quality bobbles) for non-player bobbles. Other teams do this as well, at least for the Stitch n Pitch bobbles. If the Brewers ever change their Bernie birthday bobbles (and I wish they would, since my son, who just turned three, got his third sliding Bernie) I hope they go with AGP. Above all I wanted to create attention to the different manufacturers of the Brewers bobbles with this post, and point out that AGP is superior to the flawed molding, paint chips, cracks, and unsteady painting that BD&A produces. I'm sure a lot of you have noticed the difference, but it was never pointed out on the board (to my knowledge.)

    In 2007 they gave out a pinstripe Gantner in a fielding position. It looked like the mini version given out as one of the 13 by the Brewers in 2007 but was larger and featured Gantner in some sweet spectacles. Apparently the Woodchucks ordered the powder blue version as well to save for the 2008 season, and a few got leaked on eBay and went for big bucks since no one saw them being given out. Then in 2008 they gave out the powder blue version to fans as a SGA. I didn't buy one of the powder blues the year before, but if I did I'd be pretty pissed!

    Another one to add to the list of wants! I hope to add this one in time. Hopefully the Brewers don't pull a fast one and have 15,200 orders placed...200 for Kent this year, and the remaining 15,000 for next years Miller Lite giveaway! It's just a thought, but I remember another team doing something similar (and a few got leaked before the following year when they were suppose to be given out to fans...remember the Gantners from the Woodchucks a few years back?)

    Thanks for the offer. I think I'll be okay with the one, so if anybody else is interested in them go ahead and help them out. Thanks!
  14. madgrad
    Thanks for the information guys, and thanks hawing for sending me the coupon. It is greatly appreciated!
  15. madgrad
    Every year I buy a bunch of stuff, although a little pricey, from the Fan Zone. Does anybody know of any coupons I can use to save a little dough on my big purchases? They used to offer 10% off during home games if you had a ticket for the "winning" section, but it doesn't look like they do that anymore. Any info or suggestions are appreciated!

    I need three tickets for Sunday's game. All the tickets in my budget aren't available through the Brewers, and I will NEVER pay more than face for tickets in Terrace (people are really trying to get more than DOUBLE the face on these...) I know it's an odd number, but we have a tag along, so if anyone has three they can offer for a reasonable price or find any good deals let me know!

    I'm looking to trade a retro John Axford bobble from this year for a retro Casey McGehee or retro Zach Greinke bobble. I need both and have two Axfords for trade, so please let me know.

    Last minute we got the Birthday Package for my daughter for this Sundays game, but I was only able to get two Terrace Reserved tickets apart from one another. Anybody out there get extra tickets for the game for extra bobbles willing to trade tickets so I can have two side by side? It would be greatly appreciated!

    Indeed it is! Just this past Christmas I bought my son a Bernie garden gnome from the Fan Zone. He loved it more than his Toy Story Woody and Buzz figures! I wanted him to have a Bernie he could play with that wouldn't break since all his were in bobble form and very fragile. Two hours into Christmas morning, however, he fell down while carrying the Bernie gnome (it went EVERYWHERE with him that morning) and it shattered as it was a piece of hollow resin. When this promotion came up I knew I had to get one, especially since pictures I saw of it made it look like pliable plastic. Long story short, I got one for my son, and you see the results! BTW...you can see in the video he is carrying a Casey McGehee bobble from this last weekend. He always wants to hold his, but I'm afraid they'll break, so I kept an extra for his collection of the McGehee and gave him the one my wife got to play with. He has slept with it every night since the game! I wrapped the neck with bubblewrap to keep it from bobbing and breaking, and so far he is okay with that.

    Out of the 7 in my group no one had a retro. I need one for my collection and have a couple bobbles I could trade or ??? Let me know.
  21. madgrad
    Thanks...just got the email myself.

    I was watching the Brewers game over the weekend and caught the tail end of a commercial I thought said "Where's Bernie?" and referenced the Milwaukee Zoo on May 24th. I can't find any information about this event on the internet and was wondering if anyone had additional information. We were planning on going to the zoo soon, and I figure what better day to take my kids then on the day Bernie would be there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    FYI...the boxes for all the Snappers bobbles through 2004 were plain white boxes. They didn't have the artwork that the newer bobbles had, so actually not having the boxes is no big deal. There wouldn't really be any difference between the boxes they came in originally and one you could pick up out of an Office Max catalog.

    Funny, yet sad, story. My wife called me at work a few weeks ago inquiring where our daughters Stitch n Pitch bobble was. I knew she was thinking I took it and sold it from under her, but I would never do that. It was our daughters first Brewers game (she was just two weeks old!) and the bobble was kept as a token of that. Anyways, I had it displayed on top of a bookcase next to her C.C. Sabathia she got from last year as well. Of course that one was still standing! Somewhere along the line the bobble fell behind the bookcase, and the result was this... http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/d48162481f4cea6ec6f3248bc00a486186c5065f.jpg Partly my fault for thinking a bobble with a base in the shape of a baseball would be sturdy. I glued it back together and it doesn't look that bad. Anyways, if anyone will be looking for this years Stitch n Pitch bobble and has an extra Bernie from last year I'd love to trade to replace the broken one. My wife has no desire to keep hers so I'll have an extra. Let me know!
