LBT Sequals removed from shelves?

pokeplayer984 · **on:** May 24, 2008, 01:31:32 AM

I seriously didn't want to believe this, but last Saturday, I went to the other stores within the area of where I work. I saw that none of them, not a single one, were selling 2-13 anymore. However, the Wal*Mart I was working at was still doing so. However, I come to work today and I discover that we are doing the same. 2-13 are no longer being sold. The label and everything else. All of it. Gone!

Best Buy and the Wal*Mart I work at are still selling the two latest releases of the TV Series and the 15th Anniversary Edition of the Original LBT Movie, but not the other places.

Please tell me, truthfully, that it's only my place and that you guys are still selling. Or has the hater that is currently running Universal finally gotten smart and has made his move?

Note: If this is true, I fear I may soon lose the morale to continue with my upcoming vid. The franchise still being strong was giving me hope and gave me the courage to continue, but if the hater is actually getting rid of it the smart way, I don't see a point anymore. -_-

I'd have to check Toys R Us, the only place here where I can find LBT movies earlier than LBT 11, in order to confirm anything. I haven't been to Wal-mart in so long that I don't know if they still have them here or not.

Actually, there was never any LBT DVDs for sale in my place. -_-

The next time I'm in my local Wal-Mart I'll be more than happy to check this out...I hope this isn't country wide...I'm starting to worry now...

Most stores over here still have the sequels 11 - 13. The original one is there too occasionally and the other sequels too seem to be around though some of them less frequently than the others (the older the rarer). The situation over here may say little about the situation over there, but I don't remember having ever seen the original and all existing sequels lined up on a store's shelve.

Hmm... Typically, at Target - where I go most of the time to get DVDs and stuff - I see them on the shelves for a little while, and then they're pulled... I don't think you have to worry much, pokeplayer... It's probably just a regular occurance... Supply and demand, you know... Don't worry... I seriously doubt that this is the work of a hater...! One thing, that a very good friend once taught me, though, pokeplayer: Don't ever give up on your dreams! Ever! Understand, bud? Don't let the fools win!

Understand Malte, this has happened just recently. So, unless your information comes from having recently checked your places, I really can't trust that information at the moment. Understand, at this point, I need most updated info, okay?

I definately hope this is only a coincidence. I'm growing worried here. -_-

they sold LBT 1 7 8 10 12 and 13, but they are all gone,

Lillefot · **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2008, 09:06:03 AM

Well it's a new month soon, so I will be going to MovieLine anyway to buy my monthly supply of LBT DVD's.

So I may get to see if they still selling the sequels here in Gothenburg.
If they're about to stop, I'll buy all DVD's at once. No matter the cost. -_-
I can understand that you're worried, I am to... :unsure:

I've never seen ANY store (aside from a movie rental place) have all of the LBT movies at the same time. A year or so ago, walmart had LBT 3,4 and 7 on the shelves. Now they're nowhere to be found. Now they have 1, 11, 8, 12, and 13. In between each switch of which movies they carried, there was a 2 week period when there was no LBT movies on the shelves. They're probably just going to replace the LBT movies they had with different ones.

NeptuneNavigator2001 · **Reply #11 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:40:23 PM

...That seems like the most logical explanation, Austin...

Kor · **Reply #12 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:58:34 PM

It does make sense, keeps some folks purchasing some LBT movies they do not have.

Lillefot · **Reply #13 on:** May 24, 2008, 02:59:16 PM

Yeah, it's a good point. (and buisness idea) :^.^:

Amazon.com sells them. I don't get what the concern is for. Perhaps they've all been bought or something.

Sky · **Reply #15 on:** May 25, 2008, 02:53:22 AM

The stores over here still have LBT DVDs.
They even have 1-13 more than twice. o.O

NeptuneNavigator2001 · **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2008, 03:17:21 AM

Hmm; that's interesting, Sky...

...Yeah, Amazon.com DOES have them, so, I really don't see too bad of an issue here, pokeplayer. It'll all be okay, really... If Universal still sees a fanbase for LBT - obviously, it exists - and still sees it as a viable source of revenue - obviously, they still do - then we have NOTHING to worry about...!

So, relax bro; it'll all work out in the end! B)

Kor · **Reply #17 on:** May 25, 2008, 03:47:48 AM

We can wait and see if it does work out.

Lillefot · **Reply #18 on:** May 25, 2008, 07:43:07 AM

Ok, I'll go this week to check out in my city.

Gonna buy Stormbreaker anyway!

Maybe you guys are right. Maybe it will only be off the shelves for a couple of months. It's not like my store hasn't done that with something else. Then again, with my store, the rule usually is, once it's gone, it's gone. There are exceptions, not many and they are usually seasonal stuff, but still...

Despite what may happen, I won't let this get me down. Guess I just needed time to let all of this settle in.

I still believe that it won't be long before you guys that do have them no longer see them on the shelves. Seriously guys, I fear for LBT now.
