The information you provide Midnite does make it a little more flexible.  I appreciate the leg work you did to come up with the answer.

:)  Oh, no leg work other than reading the "fine print" before joining a year ago.  Hubby taught me well.  [wink2]

However, it still doesn't make up for the price differential between MPI and Amazon.

Agreed.  I chimed in on that when the discussion was about making the pre-Barn DVDs available only to club members:
Making the DVDs available to members a little sooner is one thing (though I'd prefer to, hello, pay less for them than non-members)...

What if something comes up like you lose your job or you have a medical or other personal crisis?  What happens if, in the first year, you have to cancel and you've only bought say 3 sets?  Is there some penalty for cancelling before all 6 sets are purchased?  This is not clearly addressed as far as I can see.

My apologies for not being clearer, but in the part of my post not quoted, I wrote, "if [cancellation] occurs before the first year's obligations are fulfilled as outlined in the agreement, the person is then only obliged to pay for premium items already received as a member".  In other words, your only obligation at the time of cancellation is to pay for what you've already received as a benefit of membership.  (From the MPI agreement:  You may cancel your club membership at any time, with no further obligations, via a written request.)  So, regarding your scenario, under the current agreement you wouldn't be obliged to purchase 3 additional sets, and a penalty, if you can call it that, is that you must reimburse MPI for the bobblehead received as a free incentive for your agreement to join for a year.  Hope that helped.

Then the agreement states: Your credit card will be automatically charged as soon as each new Dark Shadows DVD collection is released. This is problematic for someone w/out a credit card as Victoria mentioned.

Earlier in this topic (p. 2), MPI wrote:
To answer the above question, it is possible to join the DVD Club without a credit card.  Members can sign up to join the club by calling our customer service at 800.323.0442 & requesting the DVD Club membership form.

In addition, most of us don't want to be stuck in a contract we can't get out of.  Many of us have health concerns and other family issues that tax our financial resources.  When financial crisis happens, under your deal, we become stuck for the year.  $60 can make a huge difference to us in these situations.

This is a non-issue.  The club agreement states that membership can be canceled at any time in writing, and if it occurs before the first year's obligations are fulfilled as outlined in the agreement, the person is then only obliged to pay for premium items already received as a member (i.e. $29.98 + S&H for the Barnabas bobblehead).

Just a comment-- There's a distinction between public events and what fans might do in private, and regarding the latter, it's up to the particpants whether or not it's to be a topic for Forum discussion.  Thanks.

Sheenasma,

If 50 year old women were as gorgeous as you when I was in my 20s, I would've actually looked forward to it.

Happy 50th!  Welcome to the club.   :-*

Quote from: ProfStokes
the final episode only reveals the fates of the 1841 PT characters, so if your main concern is avoiding spoilers about the real time DS characters, you have nothing to worry about.

Do tell professer, I hadn't heard they were doing this.  As a devoted 1841 PT fan, I'd be very interested in this.  Are they going to have some original offering of what happened to Bramwell, Catherine and company AFTER we leave them at Collinwood?

Just what occurred on the show.  Here are the announcements:

ShadowGram Update #149

Several of the guest cast members participate in a staged reading of the scripts from DS Episodes #1 and # 2.
which became:
ShadowGram Update #151

---- Several guests will re-create the very first DS episode and the final DS episode live onstage on Sat., Aug. 26. Portraying characters first performed by their co-stars are David Selby as Roger Collins; John Karlen as Burke Devlin; Lara Parker as Victoria Winters; and Marie Wallace as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. Other guest cast to be announced.
ShadowGram Update #153

Sunday, August 27

4:00 Guests - Dark Shadows Cast Presents First & Last Episodes Live On Stage

They already changed the events schedule, lol.   :-X

But what does MPI sell? DS boxers. Puhlease!! I ask you: When did a pair of boxers ever figure into a DS plot?!

Heh, heh!

That "other" original series that also turns 40 this year has much cooler merchandise (I suppose, if you're into that show), and not a single pair of boxer shorts, or Christmas ornament, sunglasses, key chain or coin purse in sight! --

Sorry for the late notice.  "Broadway Under The Stars," a salute to Hal Prince from Central Park on June 26, which includes a performance by Donna McKechnie, airs tonight on WCBS at 7 p.m.  It's on right now the New York area.  (sorry again!)

Three photos of Donna from "Broadway Under the Stars" can be found on this page:  http://broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=10620
