Re: Is Consumers Distributing making a comeback?

It's a shame because their sales model is much better suited to the modern internet-friendly consumer.

Re: Is Consumers Distributing making a comeback?

man the memories.

I use to LOVE that place. there was one not far from my house and i use to really look forward to going with my parents and luckily it was almost an every weekend thing.

i could stand there for hours looking at the catalog and luckily most of the time when i would get something they had it in stock.

one of my best and worst childhood memories was of consumers dist.
trying to get the giftset of the aerialbots.
my poor father called around probably all of ontario to try and find me that set because i wanted it sooooooo bad and he is an awesome father.

i remember the day completely still. i was watching cartoons and he was calling around for hours. he finally hung up and basically ran in to me and said "get dressed and lets go" I said where? he said "i found your transformers"

i dont think i ever moved so fast in my life, they were holding it for 1 hour and it was prob around 40 mins away.

it was at peanut plaza for those of you that live in toronto area.

he drove like a bat out of hell to get there and i remember the anticipation i had hopeing and praying that they didnt give it away. got up to the counter and he talked to a few people then the person vanished into the back and eventually came out with it in hand!!

was one of the happiest days of my childhood and probably still why i hold the aerialbots so dear to my heart.

my dads an awesome guy


its a shame it seems to be dead again. would of loved to have that place back if it was like the old days.

Ah the good ol' days. You'd select an item, take it to the counter, they person would check and tell you, "Sorry, we don't have stock".


Good time!!

-They don't get paid

so why weren't they paid?
-Cause they were fired!

What a terribly low-cheat catch-22!
