Plastic Nubbins are HEAR!!! Come and Get'em!!!!

[AGD]

AO Test Team,

The plastic nubbins are IN! We need YOU to test them! All you have to do is send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to us here at AGD and we will send it back to you with 4 new nubbins and an AGD sticker. We have a limited quantity so only the first 100 get the things to test.

To be specific, you put your name and address on an envelope like you are going to send it to yourself. Along with that stick on the correct postage to mail a letter. Put THAT envelope inside ANOTHER envelope and send that to us. We will send your envelope back to you with the sticker and nubbins.

Screw up the postage or the address and it's going in the garbage, Joann is going to kill me for doing this so I want to make it easy on the girls up front.

Post any problems here!

Thanks,

AGD

[JanStah]

But can we have some pics too please?

I'm interested to see what the differences are.

[MajorDamage]

Zowee! Im gonna have to mail that out tommorey!

ENDO!

[Paintballer86]

YAY! I shall send out my self addressed envolope today!

[Sledgehammer]

I'd love to get the plastic nubbins for testing, but, how do I send a stamped envelope from Germany?

[PsychoMag]

just sent my envelope for mine :)

[PowerFedMag]

Save some for Team Grudge Match!

I have to go to school now, no time to send out envelope, NOOOO!







:cool:

[LCDmag1]

Mines in the mail.

[Potatoboy]

Sent!

That's funny, I was going to call today and order 4 V-nubbins, I broke 2 P-nubbins over the weekend. Some plastic ones would be great!

[Thordic]

I just made my brother do it since I'm stuck at work and he's home all day...

He complained a little about having to walk a half block to the mailbox, but my envelope is in the mail.

[Paul La Rue]

I can't send a stamped envelope from Canada either...arrgg it's tourture. :-)

Hey Tom, can I convince you to mail me a couple for PballCanada?

[Dragoon]

I might be the exception buy, I broke my first nubbin this weekend at my last tournament to the year. I only noticed it when I took out my barrel to make sure it was clean (just checking even though I didn't brake a ball all day - go emag with warp!). Do you guys brake a lot of nubbins?

Any chance some of the plastic nubbins could be sent up to Canada? We can't send you envelopes pre-stamped with US stamps. I'm sure Paul la Rue at PballCanada could get a bunch distributed. If you were to send him a dozen or so we could send him self-addressed stamped envelopes.

Don't forget about us!

Douglas.

[a_malfunction]

What exactly do these new nubbins "hear"? :) Just pickin' on ya Tom!

[Prezents]

My letter is in the mail!!!

[Shaft]

Yeah, I just sent my envelope out.
On company letterhead too. He he.

[slayer]

hail great leader. I was looking forward to this day, when my nubbin wouldn't bend up in my barrel and cut my expensive aluminum barrels. My letter will go out today.

[Xzion]

OH WAIT! ive got US stamps around here SOMEWHERE!!! *goes of rummaging through drawers trying to find the US stamps he has on hand, muttering to himself "Stamp..... Stamp.... Stamp...."*

[Muzikman]

Xzion,
If Tom is willing to let me have a few more, I am willing to send them up to you.

[Dubstar112]

sent mine in... :)

[Riot[Z-Grip]]

But won't those people who live closer to AGD have a better chance of getting the nubbins? It's limited to 100 people, and the closer you live, the less time it will take for the letter to reach AGD.

Good point! I live in Iowa and just got my letter sent out, so it should be one of the first ones there. Sorry to those who live far away.

[Bigzamboni]

I am going to send my letter out tommorrow... I really hope I am one of the first hundred I live a moderate distance from AGD(NJ). But If not... I'm sure I could bum one off of Thordic if I see him anytime after he gets them... ;)

[Threewheeler]

I don't think I've got a snowball's chance... but I'll send my letter (all the way from Japan).

Wish me luck...

[Xzion]

Muzikman; if he does, that would be great! I greatly appreciate the offer :)

[AkaEnder]

Plastic nubbins are HERE even ;) Unless of course they make alot of noise, and you can HEAR them from there. Err yea :D

[Russ]

Thanks Tom!

The letter's going out tonight after I get home from work. I'll report back on how they hold up...

[Gecko]

[StevoC]

Hope it doesn't take too long for mine to get there from CA. We'll see.

[ah137]

in the mail!!!!

[Tunaman]

The check is in the mail! But Tom....you are asking us to test them? I am sure you had the honor of trying them already? Well? Do they work? Ah, silly me....what a dumb question...I already know that AGD(You) would not make something that doesn't work! Can't wait to try um'!:D :D :D :D :D :D

[Omicron]

Tom, can you send some to pballcanada??beecause i'm in canada, and it would be torture to send a letter to you..anyways

[Riot[Z-Grip]]

Despite my eariler observation: I'd like to thank Tom and everyone else at AGD for including us all in the R&D process yet again. You guys coninue to be great at the whole customer relations thing. (You are really racking up the karma points with someone.) Big thanks to all.

-Riot

[SIGSays]

please...... hold one for me.......... !!!!!!!!!! :)

i'm sending my envolope tommorrow

[MajorDamage]

Guess who just sent out his envelope....ITS ME!

ENDO!

[gam-e]

sent mine in!!

Texas or no Texas, I can feel it, I'm gonna get to try out some nubbins. If not ill just buy some, no biggy.

Thanks Tom, for being the man and allowing us opportunities like this. Even though i didn't win an emag or a pro, i appreciate the opportunities as im sure everyone else on this forum does.

Thanks
Dion

[Mega Man]

Tom, AGD, you guys are the best. Plastic nubbins sound like a cool idea. Now I all need to decide is where im gonna put my sticker. And Tom, if I'm not in the top 100 to send them in, well you can always send some other little gadget my way to test out.

[Bigzamboni]

I'll be happy to test a Super-Bolt for you if you run out of nubbins... :D

[MajorDamage]

I'll test a 4500 flatline put on a Emag with another warpfeed, Tom's new fancy HALO, and tons of other stuff!!

ENDO!

[slushee]

i'll be the one beggin and pleedin at the AGD tour for just one plastic nubbin :)

hopefully they'll have one lying around .. feel like holdin one for me Tom?

[Cardinal_Biggles]

Sure, a lil' "nubbin" never hurt anybody! That's how it always starts...:p

[Hexis]

The check, er SASE is in the mail!

[SIGSays]

i read tunman sent a check?? i thought we were suppose to send just a envolope with a self addressed envolope inside

[StevoC]

i read tunman sent a check?? i thought we were suppose to send just a envolope with a self addressed envolope inside

I think he was just using that as an expression of speech...no check necessary.

[BXmag]

I would send the SASE in, but after looking at the count on the main page and considering only the first 100 envelopes count. I think I missed the boat again! I guess I'll just have to wait 'til they are in stores.

:o

[mitch]

people in canada spend just as much or more than the people in the us on our agd markers but yet we don't get any cool stuf.
why can't you just send a few to paul la rue so we can send our envelopes to him?
this is so dumb i gaurantee we spend more money than most people in the us on out markers.
we have emags with warp some kids in the states have little tiny standard feed automags but they can get free nubbins but no the people of canada who stood behind you people when the terrorists struck you can't get a few meazillil nubbins that wouls cost 50 cents to send to us.
damn you should be ashamed of yourselfs.

we will pay for the shipping to canada.

[Bonx0007]

I don't see how the testing phase of small plastic nubbins are any reason to get internationally upset. Relax. The actions of your government to ours in a time of need are greatly appriciated. However I don't think that poor Tom needs to feel responsible for paying back canada.

I sent my letter yesterday.

GO AGD!!!:D

Mine is in the mail.

[bofh]

Or, instead of yipping at TK, you could march down the local Canada Post and buy a IRC and send that to AGD...

http://www.canadapost.ca/common/tools/pg/manual/d10-e.asp
A link on how to get a SASE to the states... or anywhere else in the world...

[Paul La Rue]

I didn't know that service was available.

And Mitch, breath man, it's only nubbins. ;-)

[Hexis]

How much is postage for a standard letter to Canada? Hell, you can paypal me and I'll send SASEs to AGD. There aren't 100 posts in this thread yet, and I'm sure TK would hold out a few sets for out northern neighbors.

Dude, do you realize, that with your little baby fit you just threw you made Canadian's look really, really bad?

I think, and no offense toward other Canadians here, but there are also other countries that "supported us" when the terrorists hit that contributed a little more.. I.E. England with cruise missiles, that might not be able to get a few free nubbins.. I think the FAIREST way is first come, first serve, no matter where your from..

BTW.. Mitchy-baby... Exactly what did YOU do to support the US other than whine like a 4 year old? My gosh dude, you need to grow up man... So every paintballer in Canada shoots and e-mag with a warp huh? And none of the cool Canucks have standard feed mags? That's cool.. Is it like a government program? They just hand out Emags or what? Maybe I should move to Canada so I too can have a e-mag with a warp feed..

Or MAYBE, since all you Canadians have EXPENSIVE Emags, just maybe the little kids who can't afford an Emag here in the states AUGHT to get the free nubbins and you can come off your wallet? I mean, since everyone in canada shoots mags, you must all be rich, so why can't you afford a few measlie nubbins?

Oh man, your a kid I'd love to bunker :) Grow up son.. Please.. your making your country look bad.. :)

Ohh.. BTW... My letter is in the mail.. :)
:steps off soap box:

[SuperOrangeTicTac]

i sent mine out this morning...

what is the point of the plastic nubbins? are they any better than others?

[AGD]

Geezzz Guys calm down, we sent a couple dozen to Paul La Rue yesterday (by your request). Paul if you could please distribute them we would appreciate it. The envelopes have already started pouring in, you guys are fast!!

AGD

[Shaft]

Woah! Tom opened a can of worms with this one.

Tom, Marcia whoever is on the receiving end of the SASE pipeline. If you're able to pull my envelope from the rest, feel free to share my sum of plastic nubbins amongst one of the last envelopes you receive.

It's the one that says Rick Brandwein and it's going to Westmont.

There are many deserving Canadians that need nubbins too.

Thanks

[Paul La Rue]

Sounds good Tom.

Anyone in Canada, drop me an E-mail at: paul@pballcanada.com and I'll divy them up.

[Mega Man]

Tom, AGD, you guys are still the best. I sent mine in the mail this morning :D and I sent it express :D , any idea on how long it will take for them to get back to us? oh well as long as I get one it's fine with me. and if I dont oh well.

[DarkPhoenix]

Good idea, Tom. Sent my letter early this morning. Hope it gets there in time....

[X-Plosive]

Think of it this way. Canada is free from any attacks but the US gets the free nubbins for dealing with the frustration of terrorism. Ohh and yes I did read bofh's post. That is a good service btw.

[SIGSays]

yeah, sent mine in yesterday

[udtseal]

doh,

I hope you still have some. Im sending mine out tomorrow.

[SIGSays]

i just noticed that you spelled here wrong on the title...... it should be HERE not HEAR....... do i get a trigger from triggernomics now??

[xmetal2001]

sent mine today. Probably too late but o well. Maybe i'll get lucky :)

[Bonx0007]

Tom, could you please post some pictures of these nubbins for those of us that are too late.

[KamikazePenguin]

if i were to send in my ReTromag for service would it be possible to have you guys include some of these nubbins in my package when you send it back to me? :) I'd gladly test them and post my results here on AO.

[DarkPhoenix]

So Tom, if and when the lucky 100 hundred get these new nubbins, what type of data are we to collect?

[gadget68]

Well, I read your post on the free nubbins and immediately got my envelopes ready to go in the mail on Oct 17th . I placed the envelope on our table so my wife could drop it in the mail on her way to work. Well..... on her way out the door, she placed the envelope in her purse. I just asked her, October 20th, about 5 minutes ago, if she mailed off my envelope to you. As her face made the "Uh Oh" look, I braced myself for the news. Letter was still in her purse. Now my question...I am still mailing it out, but I figure you have already sent out the lotted amount. Is there any way I may purchase some. By the way, my wife chuckled as she stated how terrible she felt because she knew how bad I wanted "my nubbins". This is a true story, not a work of fiction. Thanks for your time.

[AGD]

***UPDATE***

We have only received about 60 envelopes so you still have plenty of time to get your requests in. As it turns out (once again) the nubbins are not quite right and we have to trim a little off each one. This is going to take a few more days to get done so they will not likely go out until the end of this coming week.

I need you guys to report back here on how they worked and if you had any problems.

Thanks

AGD

[Bigzamboni]

After you receive envelopes from 100 people, can you post a list of who got them?

[SHAG]

Hi,

Cool, Evenelope is in the mail tomorrow.

Later,
Alan

[KamikazePenguin]

if I were to send in a gun for repairs could I request that you put some nubbins in there with my gun when you send it back to me?

[Skype]
