Ultimate Twins Bobblehead Collection to be Given Away at Winter Meltdown

[John Bonnes]

If you’re a bobblehead collector, let me introduce you to heaven. If you’re not ... well, you are now.

Door prizes have never been the focus of the Winter Meltdown. Usually, they're something we like to include in between our great guests. There’s just so much more: meeting Twins greats, craft beer, the collectable pint glass, camaraderie, Aaron Gleeman’s bubbly personality … the list goes on and on.

But this year is different. This year we have the ultimate Minnesota Twins bobblehead collection. It includes all 34 members of the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame who were inducted through the 2021 season. It's no longer for sale; you’ve got to attend the Winter Meltdown to get your mitts on it.

It’ll be just a couple blocks from Twins Fest at The Pourhouse in Downtown Minneapolis, just a couple blocks from Twins Fest, on Saturday, January 28th from 5 – 8. We’ll be joined by a Twins player (who we're announcing Friday) and 300+ Twins fans, media members, Twins execs and many more to celebrate the upcoming season.

Not only will you get to gather with Twins Daily writers and members and talk Hot Stove, but we’ll include a Twins Daily Winter Meltdown Pint Glass with this year’s fantastic design, and two complimentary local craft pints from 612 Brew.

Tickets could be tricky. The plan is to offer them to the public on Monday, 12/19, for $40 apiece. However, it’s possible Twins Daily’s Caretakers, who get first dibs, could snap them up first. If you want to guarantee a ticket for you and three friends, you can become a Twins Daily Caretaker. Caretakers get special perks for supporting Twins Daily and our writers.

1. Each caretaker gets a free ticket to the Meltdown.
2. Caretakers (who sign up by Thursday 12/15) can buy up to three additional tickets early, on Friday 12/16, starting at 8 AM.
3. Those additional tickets will be available at a discount price of $20.
4. Finally, caretakers get early access to the event, starting at 4:00 for a “thank you” happy hour with Twins Daily’s writers and founders.

If there are still tickets available after that, we will release them to the general public on Monday, 12/19. But if you do join, you can do so for as low as $4/month and you get exclusive content and other benefits too, as well as support everyone who works on the site. We would LOVE to have you join our exclusive little club. We’d also suggest you follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more news as it’s released.

Tomorrow, we announce the first of our special guests. It’ll be his inaugural visit to the Meltdown, and I guarantee he’ll entertain you. In the meantime, set aside the date, gather your Twins friends, and get a plan together for tickets. We’ll see you tomorrow.

That is quite the collection!  The winner better have a buddy with to help carry it!

Whoa ... my small little table of collectibles couldn't handle that ... 

[BobAzar]

oooh. I wanted this collection when it went on sale a few years ago, but my wife (correctly) told me that we dont need to spend $500 and dont have room for that many bobbleheads. BUT, if I win, I'll make room. 

 

ETA: I wont display the Griffith and Pohlad ones, being rich isnt a reason to be in the Twins HoF.

Also, if anyone reading this wins it, and doesnt want it, ill buy you a beer, or a 12 pack, or something for them...

Can I pay that over 13 years to lower the AAV?

Only if I can frontload the deal to make sure that I'm getting paid for their prime display years before they accumulate dust and added risk of breakage.
