Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

I just heard that Iron Man is being shipped with a lock on one can, like Transformers did. What a bad memory that is for me.

When I received Transformers, there wasn't a lock on my print. I called ETS, now Deluxe, and told them there wasn't a lock on my print so I wouldn't get scolded or charged for losing their lock. I didn't think it was much of a big deal. My place isn't even open during the week. Well, all hell broke loose and they said they were sending someone out to put a lock back on the can!!! They made arrangements twice for me to meet someone there, only to cancel before it happened. Nobody ever came. Looking back, it was quite humorous. Then, it was quite a major pain in the butt.

Anyway, I never did see what the lock even looked like. Guess I might this time.

Yeah, Putting those "zip ties" on the cans, or real locks, or printing fake movie names on the cans.... All Humorous

Locks for Transformers were a joke, The combo was the directors birthday.

The directors birthay? May be, but it was also part of the lead character's seller's user name - where he was trying to sell his grandfathers glasses on Ebay. If you'll remember when Sam was confronted for the first time by the Decepticon "Barricade" (i.e. Saleen Mustand police car), the robot pins him down and shouts "Are you Ladysman0217?"

The combination lock code was 0217.

By the way, I'm not a geeky Transformers nut... I'm just a dad with 2 little boys who are totally obsessed with Transformers.

Glad you clarified that geeky part, Barry. You had me worried for a minute.

We should have a pool to see who can guess the new code before it is released.

Hiwghway Transport told me that no one was to get the movie until Thursday morning at the earliest, so what a joke the whole lock thing was. Only one number had been changed on our lock!
