I go every year and one of my main objectives is to get some Habs needles. I arrive pretty early Saturday and find out from the Habs folks (great people) that they sold ALL their needles at the show in NJ. I was pretty upset to hear that. A lot of people travel there to stock up on his needles for the season. I have no idea why he wouldn't keep some needles aside to sell at the RISSA. Just seems fair to the people up here that have supported him by going every year to purchase some. Not bashing him at all...just a little let down.

Even if you didn't get to his table early it was tough to get certain colors (i.e. BI Green).

They did have needles on Friday. Not sure what time they sold out. Plug building isn't John Jr.'s main focus, so he can't crank them out in volume.
