Dolemite 02-19-2007, 03:53 AM I gotta admit, this promotion the Coyotes have is too cool for words:

Can you imagine a Roberto Luongo give away for everyone in attendance at Canucks games and how crazy that would be? According to the Coyotes board this is the second McFarlane promotion they had this season.

If they did have this giveaway, they (Canucks "promotion department") would end up only giving it away to the "suits in the Air Canada section" not to you or I in the "other seats".;)
We (people in the "cheap seats") end up with the mousepads or free ice cream (when the weather consists of freezing rain outside).
pixelslash 02-19-2007, 09:09 AM Does this mean that Cujo isn't going to be traded? Would be a pretty bad promotion if he gets shipped out before they get handed out.
I am not much of a collector of that kind of stuff but if they made a Luongo version making a fantastic save like that I would definately be inclined to purchase it if they sold it.
AugerLovesBurrows 02-19-2007, 09:16 AM Sadly the Luongo McFarlane is brutal:

pixelslash 02-19-2007, 09:24 AM :shakehead That is horrible. Looks like he just got hit in the junk by the puck in that pose.
AugerLovesBurrows 02-19-2007, 09:30 AM I know. They usually do a great job, but then they use this pose which I have never actually seen a goalie in. The mask looks ridiculous
19nazzy 02-19-2007, 12:47 PM The Canucks don't have to do promotions because they have a fan base and sell out every game.
holy **** luongo is like 9 feet tall in that thing
Shareefruck 02-19-2007, 06:11 PM Haha.. that too. If that thing stands up the crossbar is like waste-high.
King Luo The First 02-19-2007, 06:54 PM I'd rather have the hat they gave out opening night than an action figure
Rover* 02-19-2007, 06:59 PM I'd rather have the hat they gave out opening night than an action figure
It's not an action figure. Action figures are for kids. These are sports collectibles.:teach: Anyways, I don't think it looks bad and will pick it up to go with my naslund, linden and bertuzzi collectibles.
Mitchell Fan 02-19-2007, 07:03 PM The last game I went to the Canucks gave out tubes of yogurt :shakehead Most people seems to be giving them to the homeless ppl outside ...
The Vancouver Giants are probably better at their giveaways than the Nucks, you always seem to leave with something there, which is pretty good considering their ticket prices
west in the east 02-19-2007, 07:16 PM I got a piece of pizza from the floating whale one time...
Why has Luongo jammed his blocker and stick 4 inches INTO the ice?
Crash #44 02-19-2007, 07:24 PM He is just that good.
Jovofan 02-19-2007, 08:48 PM Ugh, the Luongo figure is one of the ugliest McFarlane's I've ever seen. Not only does the pose suck but the mask isn't even close to being right. How is that supposed to be a grizzly bear?! I'm a huge fan of McFarlane figures, they're fantastic and amazingly detailed but they could have done a better job with Luongo. :shakehead
Szechwan 02-19-2007, 09:13 PM The last game I went to the Canucks gave out tubes of yogurt :shakehead
I would rather a tube of yogurt than that Luongo abomination

I feel sad that the only really bad McFarlane is Luongo

His latest Näslund one isn't the greatest either
Rover* 02-20-2007, 01:12 PM Closest pose I could find of luongo matching the mcfarlane one,

Bardo Thodol* 02-20-2007, 01:26 PM They should model the Luongo pose after this save:

That night rocked. They were glow in the dark tubes of yogurt! :yo:

jumptheshark 02-21-2007, 08:03 AM a few years ago a mexician football club was given away coupons to brothels
I sort of liked that give away
marknuck311 02-21-2007, 08:52 AM I got a piece of pizza from the floating whale one time...
On my trip to Vancouver, during one of the 3 Canucks games I went to, I jumped up out of my seat and caught one of the envelopes that fell from the whale - turned it in, got the new Tragically Hip CD.
(Plus, I filled out some credit card applications for a free Canucks blanket and a Canucks t-shirt - I love that blanket, I use it almost every Canucks game I watch)
Canuck out East 02-21-2007, 03:36 PM At Ottawa Sens games they give away posters of the likes of Heatly, Alfredsson, and Kelly. I hate the Sens so the posters are useless to me...except for starting fires in the fire place.
Overtime Ohlund 02-21-2007, 04:27 PM I might be wrong here... but isn't Todd Mcfarlane connected to the Phoenix organization? like he owns a part of it... something like that.
Either way i know he lives in Arizona...
edit nevermind its the oilers.. i could of swore somewhere that i read he had owned a part of the coyotes at one time.
