Everyone needs a McKays

@jerlg Ай бұрын

I wish we had one here in Dallas TX. Love McKays and the few times I have gone to Nashville I always go. Half Price Books here in Dallas and elsewhere is nice. But I only get one or two things here and there. McKays is amazing!

If I ever knew that Gene Hackman wrote books, I'd long forgotten so thanks for the reminder; just picked up all five of them. Congrats on your store credit bounty; I'm so jelly:)

This chain sounds amazing! Wish we had it up north lol. Awesome haul and commentary as always, thanks for sharing.

Miss McKay’s so much. Last time I was at the Nashville location I got a great book on all the 60’s Avengers UK episodes

@@thedukeoffunk it’s almost as if everyone needs to make special travel pitstops whenever they’re near one. Then load a suitcase full of physical media.😂 There’s nowhere quite like it.

A decade ago I was living in Nashville and hit the store there every week, and a couple times at the Chattanooga store. I almost never spent any money because I received store credit on bulk trade-ins. Great times.

Wow some really good finds! I wish we had stores like that out in CA. We have a really good private business that does all kinds of media and culture but thats basically it. Im jealous of the Severin, Warner titles and the Grand Duel which i STILL have not gotten. But you know how it is ;) Cheers Crusader

Great video - could watch these all day as we share many of the same tastes. Wish this store existed in the Midwest. The closest thing we have is Half Price Books who often prices most of their stuff to Amazon pricing (because they are a major Amazon third party seller). Also - if there is a stranger assortment of covers than what was done for the various “Colonel Sun” releases, I’ve never seen it.

@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Ай бұрын

@@joec2818 Thanks! Trust me if you had one nearby you’d be out of space really fast. Colonel Sun’s covers are bizarre! The original surrealist cover and then this simple amazing paperback cover, a variety of other approaches but the definitive is the US Bantam paperback with the amazing art by James Bama.

Nice Tyrone Power box set. I heartily recommend "Love is News" if you haven't seen it. "That Wonderful Urge" is a remake done just 11 years later and not quite as good, but does have its moments.

@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Ай бұрын

@@JCH2768 this is another box that I’ve been meaning to pick up, but it’s much less common and usually more expensive than the adventure set I have. So when I saw the spine of the box poking out on the shelf, I immediately grabbed it!😂

I have the later mill creak reales of defenders of the earth and the movie version of phantom 2040 on dvd . Did that ever get a series release on dvd ?

@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Ай бұрын

@@Bucky749 sadly, there’s never been a complete series release of 2040. That’s one of my TV series Holy Grails to get an official release. All we got in the US was the movie compilation on VHS, laserdisc and then DVD. There were a handful of VHS tapes of individual episodes. A couple years ago there was a DVD release of season one in Australia, but it was very expensive to import and in the PAL format so it has speed up. They never did season two. Recently, the comics kingdom KZbin channel uploaded both 2040 and defenders of the Earth in their entirety, which was very surprising. But it just seems like old low quality masters for 2040 and a compressed version of the DVD master of defenders.

@@joshthemoviecollector9273 it was an epic promotion and massive amount of free trade credit. The logistics of doing it all in one day though were a bit nuts.

@@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader yeah it made it tough for sure. We don't live close or I would be there every weekend. It just worked out that we were there for the Fanboy Expo. Also love your channel. You were the reason I found out about the warner brothers disc rot controversy. Luckily I only had about 20 affected titles. I did a few videos on it as well.

Sounds like a business we used to have in my hometown called Hastings. And I think the spreading into things like musical instruments and toys was what led to their downfall.

@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Ай бұрын

@@rampdavidson6397 I definitely remember Hastings! McKay’s does have a little bit of a similar vibe, but their business model is smart in that they don’t sell anything new as a bookstore. It’s all stuff that has been traded in. They have such a constant large volume of material that’s always rotating that they can’t even put it all out at once.

@sophiebongos Ай бұрын

Wish I had some of these within a three hour drive of me. It looks like the only thing close to these stores are half priced books and the last time several times I went to an hpb I couldn't find any deals.

@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Ай бұрын

@@sophiebongos I feel you on that. HPB is a nice concept and you can occasionally find great deals but they are very few and far between. Definitely stop by one of the McKay’s locations if you’re ever near one but be sure to set aside time..a lot of time.😂
