#367, 6901 LaTijera Blvd, Los Angeles, CA Update 9/22

[Beach Bear]

This is my local store. It is a beta. This store is in pretty bad shape, I recommend you stay away from it, at least until I get my job as the technician because I will try my best to revive it's former glory from 2004. I visit this store quite a lot so my observation of it is very accurate.

Movements:

- Right arm foward [W]
- Right arm out [W]
- Right arm twist [x]
- Right elbow [x]
- Right Wrist turn [1]
- Right hand wave [1]
- Left arm foward [W]
- Left arm out [W]
- Left arm twist [x]
- Left elbow [x]
- Left wrist turn [1]
- Left hand wave [1]
- Body lean [2, it seems to not return to the straight position most of the time.]
- Body sidebend left [1 I just found out these where working after watching the entire show very closely. During the "Let's Go Sky Diving!" intermission these movements are used. However, they appear to be a little overly-shaky.]
- Body sidebend right [1 I just found out these where working after watching the entire show very closely. During the "Let's Go Sky Diving!" intermission these movements are used. However, they appear to be a little overly-shaky.]
- Body turn left [W]
- Body turn right [W]
- Head turn left [1 Movement is sometimes slow]
- Head turn right [ 1 ]
- Head up [x]
- Mouth [1 Can not move completely at full speed. I noticed this in the Segment 1 of the September 08 show. Chuck cannot completely sing the chorus without his mouth looking like it's closed the entire time.]
- Nose [1]
- Head tilt right [x]
- Head tilt left [x]
- Eyelids down [W]
- Eyelids up [1 When returning to the normal position, his eyes will suddenly 'jump', instead of smoothly transitioning.]
- Eye turn right [x eyes stuck left]
- Eye turn left [x]
- Eyebrows up [x]
- Eyebrows down [x]
- Ears [1 But is squeaky and doesn't move fluidly.]
- Foot tap [1 Will get of rhythm slightly.]

x indicates movement dosen't work completely
W indicates movement works nice and fluidly
1 Indicates movement is a little bad
2 indicates movement is very slow or weak

Also there are over 9 lights burnt out, the clock neon has been pulled out of the socket, Chuck's hat is falling off, his nose is fading, his neck coller is missing (to hide his neck mechanisms), and the TV's have cracks in them.

So pretty much don't visit this store until, around a month after I have been showroom tech, if I make it.

No offense, man, but...is it really necessary to have a different thread for how bad each store's individual Studio C's are? Maybe we can have some kind of general thread for 'status reports' organized by region, or something. I don't know.

Dosen't sound very good, especially for a 32-movement bot.

Sorry about that. I just want to help people if they are going to visit so they don't be dissipointed. Because visiting CECs are sorta like a blind date. Especially, if you came far.

Yes, Chuck actually looks sad. LMAO!!

I hear that, and I actually find it admirable you took the time to list all these issues with the show (and the overall representation of the store.) If I were a kid, and I had memories of going to a place like that only yo see everything falling apart...well that's one CEC fan lost right there!

Kind of reminds me of when I went to Ceasers Palace in Las Vegas, don't know if anyone here has ever been, but they have a mall that apparently has these 'animatronic' talking statues. Now, I'm 27 years old here, and always DREAMED of going to Las Vegas, so you can imagine it was disappointing that they just happened to be working on this stuff during the only time I'll be able to go in a LONG while, and gosh knows when I'll get to go again!

I actually took a pic of the skeletal system of Ceaser, as I was rather fascinated by these despite the fact they weren't doin' squat.

So, I appreciate someone who takes the time to notify folks about these things,even if it's for someone else benefit.

Aww dude that sucks, I've had something similiar happen to me at disneyland. Thanks by the way.

I don't know, I'm just still not totally getting it. There are HUNDREDS of CECs in this country. It doesn't make sense to me to have an individual thread for each one with a poorly maintained show.
Again, no offense. :P

It's ok let me try to explain it more clearly. Let's say one day you want to go to CEC. So you look on a map and you find one that's close. You go to that one, find out it's poorly maintained and get dissipointed. But somebody should make a forum for this sort of thing.

That could have been avoided if you would have checked out this topic.

My thoughts exactly.
