Legendary Swords/Highlander Online....

They have the most persistent sales people.  I got a call from them this evening.  At first, he just started talking about the new movie coming out and the 20th anniversary of the original HL movie.  Then I made the mistake of saying I'd love to have Methos' sword.  He went on for a half hour trying to get me to reserve one for when they get them back in stock.

The deal wasn't bad... $299.00 over 3 monthly payments and I really would love to have it, but I have no place to put it and the price is still a bit high for me.   It's also a bit more as far as collectibles that I'm interested in.  I prefer smaller items, like DVDs, pictures, cds, collector plates, things like that.  I finally got him to give up by asking what else they could offer a sale on. lol  Still nothing I wanted though, but it got him off the phone.

I did think it was really cool that they are calling past customers to let them know about the new movie.  He said it's in LionGate's hands now and is supposed to be released to theaters everyone in the end of February or March.  I just can't wait to see Methos on the big screen!  :D

I'd love Methos' sword too! *eg* But I don't think it's the one they were trying to sell ....

There's a new movie?

LOL If that was being sold... 299.00 would be cheap. ;)

Yep... Highlander: The Source. Here's the official site: http://highlander-thesource.com/index.html Not much on it though. There is a trailer on the news page.

$300!!! Wow.

I haven't been paying too much attention to the release of the movie. Will it be in wide or limited distribution? I want to make sure to see it if it's in my area...

That price really made me wish I had the money and the place to display it.

He said it is supposed to be wide release through US and Canada. I hope he's right. If it's limited, I know I won't see it. I doubt it'll even play very long around here if it's wide release. I haven't really seen too many updates on the movie yet. There's still not much info on the website even.

Well, I'm glad you shouted out that it's supposed to be released so soon. This way, I'll keep an eye out for it, and if it's a quickie in the theaters, I may still get to see it...if I'm watching for it.

:) Glad I could help. I'll probably go crazy when it's actually released and post again. lol

There's going to be a new Highlander movie with Methos in it? On the one hand, yay, on the other hand... a Highlander movie. Who else is going to be in it?

Highlander: The Source is the new movie. It's been floating around at least 2 or 3 years, but they finally filmed it last year. From what I understand, it's about the origin of Immortals.

Adrian Paul (Duncan MacLeod) is back and is also producing it (I think) and Jim Byrnes (Joe) is back. I've never heard of any of the other actors in it.
