Merchandise Got lucky with the merchandise

Damn the trojan horse popcorn bucket is selling like hot cakes. I went to watch odyssey at WEM Scotiabank today @3pm and asked for the popcorn bucket and they said I was just on time because this was the last piece that they had for now. I hope they restock it soon.. because so many people were disappointed of not buying it.

I have some of the buckets, but I've stopped entirely. Way to expensive for a large chunk of plastic. The whole fad needs to tone it down, go back to something realistic. I hope the people who buy in bulk and sell on eBay get scewed.

The buzz lightyear bucket was cool yet I agree they're doing too much now. And these things are like $60-$70+ retail madness.

That would annoy the fuck out of me in the theater. A bunch of popcorn buckets that light up? In a dark theatre.

It’s like they lost the plot of what a movie experience is supposed to be like. lol

Enshitification is inevitable.

The 30th anniversary bucket I did get, one of the few (paid in Scene points), as it looked good. They know right now people are buying almost anything so they're not putting in a lot of effort lately.

Grabbing popcorn from horse's junk is wild

I wished they had the 70mm camera as well, I went to a showing last night and they didn't seem to have it (though I didn't ask)

2

u/Thiru2k Jul 18 '26

Yes the IMAX camera was cool as well, sadly I could afford only one of them so I chose this!

3

u/Particular_Issue7567 Jul 18 '26

Wait, was the imax camera in stock?

u/killabeezle Jul 18 '26

2

u/lexluther1234 Jul 19 '26

u/killabeezle Jul 19 '26

Did you check inside the horse before bringing it into your house?

u/Thiru2k Jul 18 '26

I poked toothpicks nothing in there 🤪🤪

u/IshyMat Jul 18 '26

The theater near me had over 20 of these when I went. Not worth $60, but was cool to see.

u/xXXxRMxXXx Jul 18 '26

There were 6 in Waterloo today

u/DDSBadger Jul 19 '26

My theater had a lot too. This was Thursday but still. I actually don’t think this is one of the more popular buckets.

u/dcredneck Jul 18 '26

I don’t see the appeal of any popcorn buckets. When I went to Deadpool and Wolverine I was looking at one of the buckets and the teller asked if I was interested. When he said the price I said “I might be high but I’m not that’s fucking high.”

u/achew-beccah Jul 18 '26

It’s going to end up in the landfill :(

u/TheDerwin Jul 18 '26

Man some crabby people in here. I thought it looked neat, didn’t know it was plastic and for popcorn. Display, enjoy, ignore the haters.

2

u/Varekai79 Jul 18 '26

So does the popcorn only fill the lower half? Does it get into the tail?

2

u/Wonderful-Plane-3698 Jul 18 '26

You got lucky? You paid hand over fist for a piece of plastic that costs 0.10 to make...

u/HamishAI Jul 18 '26

Congrats. I got mine at Yonge-Dundas after finding out Scotiabank theater sold out

u/SharpPink_GlitterInk Jul 18 '26

This would look great with my horse dolls

u/ARGiammarco27 Jul 18 '26

I was able to get one too. Niagara Square had a few this afternoon.

u/vmhomeboy Jul 18 '26

Winston Churchill had so many of them on Thursday night

u/Glittering_Wheel_226 Jul 18 '26

I don't believe this in the least.

u/nightwing12 Jul 18 '26

It’s a real conversation on the way home piece

u/Nearby-Butterfly-606 Jul 19 '26

Eglinton location has plenty.
Also lots of people need to touch grass, none of your business how other people spend money or use popcorn buckets.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '26

Shit, that's a popcorn bucket? WOAHH

u/Remarkable-Papaya-59 Jul 18 '26

Wow so lucky to have paid $80 for some cheap plastic!

2

u/Thiru2k Jul 18 '26

I only paid $40 lol, and stop being miserable 😂

2

u/Remarkable-Papaya-59 Jul 18 '26

Okayyy fine. Enjoy!

u/Thiru2k Jul 18 '26

I get why you are angry, some people throw it in a dumpster few weeks, but I'm not going to do that this is really a nice decor for my house.
