Well, finally, Gemmy got smart and started selling larger lots of their items at discounted prices on Amazon.com. You need to go to the Gemmy home page and there is a link there. you can pre-order the witch (120.00), Chainsaw Massacre (140.00), Jason (140.00), 78" decorative bucky (2 for 35), and their new designs for 2008 including the 5' ghastly gentleman (65), Life size quivering doorman (76.5), beheaded bride (76.5) and many others. The only catch is the new, pre-order stuff does not ship until July but you must pay now. I buy Gemmy every year, these prices are the best I have EVER seen. For those who have had problems getting this stuff in the past, here is your chance. I just spent 700.00 and my wife has a real chainsaw out, got to go................................................ ........
Thats great, except for the fact that I cant spend any money right now. Fun to look at anyhow, thanks for the link. I always wondered why gemmy doesnt have some retail stores that carry all thier products. They deffinitly have plenty of stuff to keep a rotating stock. I think stores in the malls like spencers would probably do well.
Wow! They've got some really neat new stuff for this year. I know the inflatables don't "go" with everyone's haunt, but we had several last year at our party/haunt and they all were a big hit. I have the one that's a small walk-thru (like a small castle with the spooky tree and reaper at the door) and the kids played in it for hours. Thanks for the post.
That's a great price on the witch with cauldron, as well as many of the other items. It seems like they are wholesale prices - I wonder what the retailers that carry Gemmy think of this?
Like JGC106 said, it's a great chance to get hard to find Gemmy stock.
Shipping will be steep, but you would be paying the same for any other online source...
Well Chris, the shipping is a bit steep, but not too bad. I paid 80 for 6 life size figures, it could be worse. Apparently Gemmy is selling a lot of discontinued stock that will not hit retailer shelves this year and when they are gone that is it. Also, of the new stuff they have allocated a fixed amount of inventory for their current merchants as well as just for Amazon, and once it is gone that will be it. Apparently there must be a significant lead time on the items as they outsource the manufacturing to China and try to estimate the demand. I spoke w/Gemmy today and they will be adding at least one more life size licensed figure (Freddy-2005; Leatherface-2006; Jason-2007) but would not tell me what it was. Anyone care to venture a guess? I would guess MM, and you know I am not referring to the candy that melts in your mouth and not in your hands. Anyways, if they do put Michael Myers on the website please post cause I really want one. Also, at these prices you can't get too pissed when these items break, for the most part these are good prices even if were solely a static prop. Cheers!

Hey if this is true then count me in, because that one is my favorite prop. I hope someone will let us know if he comes out.
