SkiFreak Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Interesting... I just checked my e-mail and I got 1000 iCoke points from coke today for my Birthday. Didn't know they send out points on b-days. I got enough points to order the first pin from that 5-pin set that comes with the display card now.

Now I wish they would release the other 4 so I can complete the set. Thought they would have released a couple more by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Now that the hockey jersies have been officially revealed, and Nike is a sponsor having contributed $15 million to the games, anyone going to try them for pins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywoody Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I tried to phone and email them and got a response from them, saying that they don't know what I'm talking about and they have nothing to do with the olympics exept for manufacturing the jerseys.

skscorpion Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 E-mailed Nike for pins as well. Have not heard a positive or negative reply, but for some of the sponsors, not such a bad thing as have received pins out of the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywoody Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I just got 2 pins from Cold FX, First they said no but then when my email got to another person they said they're sending me 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Guys - no need to be quite so eager. They probably haven't thought about pins yet if they have only just been announced as a sponsor. Give it a month or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdodds Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 A friend is off to Canada tomorrow, so.. Do HBC stores stock Vancouver 2010 stuff nationwide (Calgary). And if so, what stuff (other than pins) do they sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skscorpion Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 A friend is off to Canada tomorrow, so..Do HBC stores stock Vancouver 2010 stuff nationwide (Calgary). And if so, what stuff (other than pins) do they sell? The stocking in the stores is all based on city size, so generally, Calgary as alarge city should have a good selection but as your friend goes to smaller cities (ie Regina), then the selection runs dry. This applies to both pins and merchandise. 1 suggestion I strongly recommend is have your friend check London Drugs and Rona stores as they sometimes carry pins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, what stuff (other than pins) do they sell? The Bay in downtown Calgary is big so they should have a good selection of stuff. Also, if this friend of yours has time, tell them to head over to Olympic Park. The Gift store there inside the main building beside the museum has a bunch of stuff, for 2010 and pins from past Olympics. I bought a few '88 and '10 Olympics pins there myself. And if your friend has the guts, tell them to ride the zip line of the big ski jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Olympic Park is well worth a visit anyway. Try the indoor bobsleigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 This is the response I got from Cold-FX ... In response to your query, COLD-FX is proud to be the official cold and flu remedy of the 2010 Winter Games. We are excited to activate this sponsorship with a variety of consumer promotions and PR. The production of premiums like pins will be integral to our strategy. Currently we do not have COLD-FX pin designs and are working on a strategy for launch of our pin program in the Fall. You will be able to obtain these pins with purchase of selected COLD-FX products at various retailers across Canada in September, 2009. Thank you for your interest in Afexa Life Sciences, COLD-FX and Vancouver Olympics Despite their claim of not having any COLD-FX pin designs, there were sets of 7 Cold-FX pins available in a raffle each day at Olympin! I am OK with them not sending me any pins ... but be honest with me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 The person who sent you the response may well not know about pins - its very possible. Outside Olympic time pins are quite a niche thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
