Collectors lending out VHS tapes for free

Go to your local library...tons of old movies

Definitely a sign that Blockbuster needs to make a comeback

Basically a library without late fees. Nostalgia basically outlives a corporation.

Why do whoever owns the Blockbuster rights care, they aren't doing anything with it.

I loved the Blockbuster and chill weekends. Pickup tapes, popcorn and candy for the weekend. Even had a fast rewinder.

I wish I lived somewhere this was possible.

I love movies so much. Vhs, dvds, and blu-rays, love them all. They are my treasure. I have the ones I bought, and I buy the ones I want. Some, I got for free. Movies, it's a once in a while thing and sometimes brings back moments and memories, especially nostalgia.

Thanks to Itay Hod for showcasing our Free Blockbuster and Traveling Museum! Also: seeing lots of comments about how the box is going to get trashed... it's been a couple months and the community has shown nothing but respect for it without any issues!

Dude, this is awesome.

We still have a VCR, and some tapes. And some new ones that we can tape on. That'd be neat to go there!

VHS allowed free recording of live tv and skipping of commercials. With all of today's technologies, no can do, you must pay pay pay.

I love physical media. I have heard these stories of cassettes, vinyl, even CDs, etc. still being used just like the players. People collect those things and sometimes still use them. I’m a 30-something year old millennial and I grew up with some of that stuff. VHS and DVD are good things to have for whenever you want to watch them. Like some people here said, I miss Blockbuster. There are so many reasons for this revival and I support it. I refuse to have a streaming service because I don’t like spending so much money a month or a year on that stuff. I like to buy DVDs and the players so I can have them and use them. The age that we live in of all digital junk is not good for so many of us. I wish we could all be like our childhood selves and go back to when our parents and grandparents did everything when it came to owning physical media. It’s nice to remember things we did several decades ago when we were really young. The nostalgia factor is kicking in now.

I can’t remember when I last used a VHS tape and I don’t even have a dvd player any more. Pretty soon all the Redbox kiosks will be gone too. Seems kinda sad to see so many things become outdated.

Easy way to avoid a lawsuit: change the label on the box from "free Blockbuster" to "Free Video Store".

Hilarious, I'm literally making one for our area right now. I'm using an old 4 drawer metal filing cabinet. I have it almost all painted up, and I might make a little roof for it so water doesn't collect on top. It looks like it'll be the only one in southern Oregon. I'm going through my old DVDs and finding the ones I have upgraded, which is a lot of them. For those doing the same, watch out, not all DVD special features are ported over to blu ray/4k.

I'm all for nostalgia, but I was glad to leave VHS in the past. I'll use it to watch things that otherwise don't exist elsewhere, but that's it.

Hollywood and Blockbuster is or was a BIG part of California, those classical Free Blockbuster boxes are totally is a good fit here.

Wouldn't it get too hot in the box especially for the VHS tapes?

I wonder how many Gen Z and Alphas are watching going “WTF IS THAT THING?” 😂

Here in Miami Florida, they would take one or more and NOT leave one. So this would not work here in South Florida. 😕😕
