Emce at Blockbuster

[fallensaviour]

IMO. Blockbuster survives due to to the fact there plenty of people out there like my parents. Even though they could probably save money usingt Netflix it's still too much of a foreign concept for them.

Blockbuster is still in business because they are actually owned by studios like paramount.They will be around forever unless they pull the old name change switcheroo.

I still do the Blockbuster thing. I don't pay the new rental price because it is outrageous, but I rented a whole pile of old movies for 5 days and it only cost me $7. There are bonus plans and days where you can get half-off TV series rentals, a free .99 rental, and points toward a free new release rental (that's when I get a new release). All in all, Blockbuster can still be a good deal and it is really convenient for me because I have one right by work, so I don't have to go out of my way at all.

I did as well,I just got into Netflix this month...which I like a lot,but I still liked the walking around the store and browsing thru the covers

There hasn't been a Block Buster video around here in at least 5+ years, they have all gone out of business here in NE PA and lower NY and all changed to Hollywood Video.
I have still yet to find any EMCE at retail.

I like that aspect of it, too, plus they have good management, evidently, because the staff is very friendly and helpful. I like personal service and they have always been good about saying stuff like, "If you like this movie, I think you would enjoy this other one, too." They are usually are pretty good in their suggestions, too.

Probably not typical of all Blockbusters, but I'm pretty happy, for now. Perhaps if I rented a ton of movies, I'd make the switch.

I don't think I have rented a movie since Lord of the Rings the Two Towers came out...what was that....2002?
it is cool to see these at retail though. I saw them at FAO Schwartz in NYC and even though I already had everything had to buy some.....just had to.

I go to blockbuster when I just have to see a certain movie. Otherwise I use netflix.

I just got back from blockbuster and what was there on the shelves????
Emce second issue Kirk and Spock, Klingon and Andorian. It was so cool to see those on the shelves with the new Star Trek figures!!!

By SECOND ISSUE do you mean Gold Rank Braids?

I will go to At Least 1 Blockbuster tomorrow to see for myself. I went to the competition just a few hours ago.

Nice to hear. I will ask Doc Mego if buying Emce's in different outlets like Blockbuster and Hobby shops helps him more or less than buying from him directly.

I think he's told me it is better to buy from him, but I'll clarify.

Coolness.

[blastphemey]

yeah, they have em at the nearest blockbuster by me too. they had this big star trek set up with the new figures and shtuff too. they only had emce spock and kirk though.

[Sideshow Spock]

My Ballbuster has the 6" Trek movie figs and the DST communicator and phaser, but no sign of any EMCE.

[ramsey37]

My local Blockbuster has EMCE Kirk, Spock, the Klingon, and the Andorian, as well as a few movie figures and the DST Captain's Chair that's roughly Mego-scale.

It doesn't affect me where you buy the Star Trek and Apes - as long
as you buy them.

Thanks

They had the gold bands. I am just excited tosee new megos in the public forum. I am hoping that this will catch on with the younger kids and start all over again.

Thanks Jerry68, I missed that about the Gold Bands.

My 10yr old had taken a Spock from me. I gave it to him after he asked for it. Now that I have all these Emce Figures coming in via the mail, he wants the WHOLE SET and an ENTERPRISE!

So I'm on the hook to get it all for him by his birthday. I'll buy them now as I can but it counts as his December Bday present. I still don't know what the release plans are so I think I have to buy them now as they will go away. Right? Mego will return at some point and then I may have to buy them again.

And I WILL!

Also, thanks for the reply Doc! Talk to you soon.

P.S. For what it is worth, the Spock and McCoy I just got from FAO (someone... went there and bought them for me in the store) had Silver rank.

[blastphemey]

i visited there again today na dthey had one kirk left and an adorian, and klingon. 20 bucks each =P

[cdhall]

Well, maybe this thread helped empty the store out.

[Fuzzysnail]
