    Anyone know if there are 2018 calendars available somewhere? I found a 2017 one on the Astros website but thats it. Cant find anything on Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

    Went ahead and ordered my gold hats, picked up a mug while I was at it.

    So for the total off season this makes..
    4 hats
    3 shirts
    a jersey
    a hoodie
    a pennent
    2 posters
    World Series DVD set
    Blu Ray documentary
    2 chronicles
    3 sports illustrated
    coasters
    and a mug

    I'm usually a pretty frugal guy but eh...f**k it they've earned my dollar. I didn't realize how little Astros merch I actually owned prior. I have like 7 caps, but otherwise I only had a jersey and 2 T-shirts.

    This is the one I bought for my office. I also left the review, as it is rather freaking large. If I would have known I would have kept looking for something not life sized.

    Edit- I guess there was a heavy run on these and they went out of print. I bought before Christmas for like $15. This seller was $100????? Fawk outa here.

    http://abc13.com/sports/astros-to-sell-112-world-championship-fan-rings/3233288/

    HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --
    If you missed out on the gold rush Monday morning, Astros fans have a chance to score - if you've got the cash.


    The Houston Astros said 112 limited-edition Astros 2017 World Championship fan rings from Jostens will go on sale at their team store from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

    Each ring will retail at the symbolic price of $11,112 for the 11 postseason games which led to the Astros' World Series win, which, when added with their 101 regular season victories, equates to 112 wins for the season.

    The team also said one of the rings will be raffled off to benefit the Astros Foundation.

    Who bought one?

    Yikes! I gave up looking and just bought a Super Mario calendar for $5 instead lol

    Office Depot website said they had Astros calendars in stock at the one on Kirby, but I went to the store and they didn't have them.

    Nice haul. Save some money for the rockets and Texans championship gear.

    My Stros swag is culminating with a gold cap, and will probably eBay a couple of the opening weekend giveaways since I won’t be in town.

    Most unique item I got that I still haven’t seen anybody else wearing is a Nike shirt with a pic of champagne goggles on the front. Guess it was a limited run...only saw it briefly on Lids website.

    I ordered my gold hats Monday afternoon, and got them Thursday afternoon.

    They shipped that with a purpose, I love it.

    Yeah, I'm gonna need to build a new storage shed for all the crap I've accumulated in the past 5 months. I've maxed out my closet and shelf space.

    For those that missed out on the sale, I purchased one from Poshmark.com. He still has 2 available. I offered him $22, he accepted. Poshmark get togethers are like republican yacht parties if you know what I mean so don't diss the site.

    And to Those that started rumors that I purchase my izods at the outlet store they will get what's coming to them.

    I'd rather have Yuli hair, but my wife wants the replica ring bad. Any excuse to go to an Astros game is a good excuse though in my book.

    Looking on StubHub, it'll probably be cheaper to check EBay for a ring. But yeah, it's a night out with the wife at least.

    Wow, that game sold out less than 2 hours after they announced it.

    Cheapest ticket on stub hub is $98.

    Does anyone know if the replica ring they gave out at the stadium is plastic?
