Since the Blockbuster promotion is ending in a few days I wondered whether it would be worthwhile to go around the BB stores and ask if I could buy the leftover promo sets. Has anyone tried this? -- Thomas Main main@appstate.edu (26 years ago, 28-Sep-98, to lugnet.general)

Good luck. All our local BB never had them. I'm pretty sure at the closest one, one of the employees must have STOLEN/bought them all and never put them out. Why? I got there one night, and they had at least one complete set strewn all over the (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.general)

NO posters up, and an employee said "this is the 2nd (...) (26 years ago, 30-Sep-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hrmmm, are there pictures of these up anywhere? I called and the BB closest to me does not have them and hasn't, but they said another BB in town did. Something about franchises (here anyway) not getting their shipments even though the (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

In my case, in 2 of the 3 BBs I have gone to, they just let me have them, and the one store had no problem with me taking 5 of one set. I'll be back there tomorrow ;-) They're cheesy little Freestyle sets, but better than the McD's CRAP. And I want (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
