Spider-Man may have defeated the Green Goblin, but West Coast longshoremen are another story. Last week Blockbuster Inc., Dallas, confirmed that more than 3,000 life-sized commemorative Spider-Man replicas, intended for use in a promotion for the Nov. 1 “Spider-Man” video release (Oct. 1 XTRA), are stuck in port due to backlog after a 10-day dock lockout.
The replicas are prizes for the video sweepstakes and were intended to be on display in local Blockbusters starting this week. Blockbuster is going ahead with the promotion and says it expects the replicas to be available by mid-November. Promotion Resource Group, New York City, is handling the sweeps.
