If it doesn't show up, Easton will more than likely take care of you. In the Synthesis drive my stick never showed up and Guru sent me out two as replacements. Classy move but yeah, the altruism is supposed to be the 'benefit.'

I saw GURU at the show and he was telling me the drive went very well for them.

Where else can you buy an SE for $75?

Notice how i said "buy"

I was going to participate but I felt guilty because I really wouldn't donate $75 worth of anything to charity(because I really can't spare that money right now) and would only be doing it to get something back. Although it was a great deal, I felt guilty... Maybe I'll be able to donate some time next year and won't feel guilty about donating $75 in toys.

I know that it's even almost selfish to have not donated the toys because of it but I would have felt guilty to use the stick and would have felt worse if I would have sold it. :(

P.S. No offense to anyone that did the toy drive. I was just in limbo about it.

No worries on that, even I spend Thanksgiving forking out food the most foul-smelling hobos around. Even when it's not court-ordered.

When I was younger my mom and I used to volunteer some but since I got older I have really gotten out of helping out the community. I almost immediately jumped in on this but I thought about how selfish it was; since I haven't really done anything big(I give a few dollars here and there but nothing close to $75) in years and I was only considering it because I'd get something back. Then I thought well if I don't then these kids won't get my $75 worth of toys... In the end I decided to use my spare "hockey money" that I set aside to buy equipment if something breaks or I just want something new but at that point I was too late. I still think I would have felt guilty using it though.

You're quite possibly more Catholic than I am or you at least should be. Maybe there's the tinge of guilt for doing something but getting something back for it, but unless you stole the toys I don't see how guilt should be anything long-lasting.

I'm still waiting on mine. A little worried, but have confidence it'll be dealt with.

I also waver a little on the Toy drive. I usually donate money to charity's at X-mas, but not as much as the toy drive asks. So I'll upgrade it when they offer it, but it's definatelt their incentive that pushes me over the edge. I look at it as a win-win, but do reconsider it everytime it's offered and evaluate my morals.

still haven't gotten mine. i received my stealth on January 18th last time and i thought i was one of the last to get it.

One thing i notcied is that with the stealth, it was released to the public around thanksgiving meaning they already had been making them for awhile, but the SE was practically unheard of by anyone when the toydrive was announced. Easton is probably making sticks as quickly as they can to get out to stores so they actually make money... so i'm sure sticks will be a little later than in the past. I'll let you know when i get mine.

Also, GURU sais they were giving out 5 pairs of stealth skates and as far as i know nobody has received any yet, which may increase my chance of getting them... wouldn't that be sweet!

The box they ship the stick in is huge, it would be really hard to loose it.

i thought that too, untill i bought a stick in chicago,and on the flight back they overlooked it and left it in the cargo area of the plane!

I'm just pointing out that this was about an Easton box and how obscenely large they are. She's just going off on a tangent as usual, so I had to humour it.

dammit, I always forget that she's a "she" that has nothing to do with what you said or this thread but... yeah.

I vote for the avatar of the skates with the pink laces to make a return!

what i mean was that no matter how big an item is, they can stll miss it.

i has an uncut senior synergy and they manage to not see it when they take out the baggage.

so yes it is relevant....i was giving a case when some dumbass missed a large item, wich is what you all were saying wouldnt happen...

i hope that clarifys the story for you all
