For those of you waiting to hear the winning code from our recent contest, the time has come! The official winning pamphlet code is 7HD27

Whoever has this code on their pamphlet, just bring it down to our store with your I.D. (of you or someone 18 and older) and we’ll set you up with $25 store credit!

Get your tote bags ready! Or your shopping stocking! Or your giant shoe! Whatever will hold your movies… Are you confused yet? Let me clarify!

Starting today until Friday May 21st, we are holding a contest to raise awareness about plastic bags. Don’t worry, we will still be offering them for everyone, so if you don’t have a bag, we have you handled! At the same time, we realize the damage that plastic bags do to the environment, so we would like to help raise awareness about them!

If you come into the store, you will notice there are pamphlets on display regarding plastic bags. For the contest, however, we will be handing out a special edition of the pamphlet to every customer who makes a purchase and declines a bag. This pamphlet will be different from the ones on display because they will contain an entry code to win a $25 store credit!

So from this Friday until next, anytime you make a purchase and decline a plastic bag, one of our employees will offer you a coded pamphlet. Just keep hold of the pamphlet and check our blog (you’re currently here) on Saturday, May 22nd to see which code is the winner. If you’re the lucky winner, bring it down with an I.D. (or the I.D. of an adult 18 and over) and we’ll set up a store account for you with $25.00 on it!

Yes, we know it’s kind of silly to hold a contest about plastic bags by handing out a bunch of paper pamphlets. On the bright side, the pamphlets are made from 100% recycled paper. Things could be worse!

And no, we won’t scold you if you choose to get a plastic bag! We know they come in handy, and we definitely don’t want to discourage our lovely, delicious customers from buying things!

It looks like we’re back on track with normal February weather, and what better way to beat the drizzle than to curl up with a movie or two?

We’ve got a pretty cool looking Matrix box set here which contains all three Matrix films, plus Animatrix and the three-disc Matrix Experience which has eleventy-seven hours of behind the scenes, documentaries, music videos and more. All in a really Matrix-y box.

Or how about this: Rambo: The Complete Collector’s Set. We’re talkin’ First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III and the most recent action-packed installment Rambo In Retirement. Okay, I made that last one up. The fourth one is just called Rambo, and he’s anything but retired. All in all, it’s six discs of guns, knives, bows (and arrows) and explosions with more than 20 bonus features, including the completely awesome sounding Rambo-nomics (and I’m not making that one up).

We also have probably the finest action franchise ever: The Die Hard Collection, with Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Die Hard With A Vengeance. The only way this could be better would be if it included Live Free Or Die Hard, but we’ll just have to wait for that one.

Other notable collector sets are three-disc versions of Black Hawk Down and American Gangster.

I would also like to remind you that we still have a big pile of slim cases that we would be happy to give away in exchange for regular-sized DVD cases. These slim cases are half as thick as the normal ones, so they’d help you save a lot of space on your shelves. The only thing wrong with them is they aren’t very well suited to our displays here in the store, so if you’d like to make a swap, come on in and see us.
