Your DVD Collection — Page 29

American Graffiti Signature collection LD US mail crushed in the bottom 2 corners of the jacket but the discs are fine.

Also just bought Raiders of the Lost Ark LD Japanese Rental Disc from 1994, Letterboxed sealed. Was a steal for 24 dollars.

Added Terminator 2 Blu-Ray 3D (UK Import) for my T2 on every format collection.

Gave Last Picture Show Criterion 4K to an online friend who wanted it

Man is the Warmest Place to Hide

I could have sworn i had The Last Crusade in Letterbox Laserdisc from Japan but couldn’t find it so i bought a no frills viewing copy for 6 bucks, its loose from the box set. The cover is damaged. But if the discs play what do i care. I just want to see all 3 films.

So i have Raiders Rental with OBI Letterbox, Temple with no OBI Letterbox, and Box set Last Crusade Letterbox.A weird way to watch them sure. But i paid 24 for Raiders, 13 for Temple and 6 for LC, way less than the 80-100 dollar price the boxed set goes for. It also means i don’t have the making of disc but i have the making of Raiders from the us release, and great movie stunts which the Japanese set doesn’t, yeah its analog no digital, but is digital sound and great adventurers and their quests worth another 50, not for me.

While looking for LC letterbox i tested both the evergreen pan and scan which was nice, and first issue which is rotten.

I also tested 3 Criterion titles so far Akira was very nice, same for CAV DR No, Ghostbusters CAV is rotten its an expensive gatefold this made me furious. Going to have to test all my Criterions there is a good chance most of them will have rot, i hope its just Ghostbusters.

Edit: None of my Criterions have major rot except Ghostbusters.

Just purchased Indiana Jones 4K 4 film collection I already have Dial in 4k. 70 bucks is a bit much for 4 films but with 4k and Atmos it is a substantial upgrade. Deep Discount beat Amazon’s price by a couple of bucks.

Added the rental Laserdisc for Dr. No, no OBI that was 30. And added the 2000 Star Wars trilogy laserdisc set that was 99 bucks also no OBI. Added Project A-ko Perfect disc OBI, gatefold, glue edge damage and laser rot a waste of 40 dollars.

Here’s my small Sergio Leone collection

Haruhi Suzumiya complete series Essentials collection. It was only 22 dollars an absolute steal. Watched the first two episodes so far, and man I can’t believe this show came out in 2006. The nostalgia.

Added the CAV Laserdisc of Raiders of the Lost Ark, as well as the VHDs of The Third Man and North by Northwest.

Sold all of my HD-DVDs except for Casablanca, The Thing and Terminator 2. The rot lottery is just too much gambling for a format where all transfers are also on Blu-Ray.

As for stuff I added, I added Laserdiscs of Top Gun (AC3) and A View to a Kill…

Added 4 different Dirty Pair tv episodes laserdiscs with OBI and shrinkwrap. And Wrath of Khan Pan and Scan with OBI analog first release. The Khan disc was 8 bucks. They others were 29 each.

Had to reorder my Kiki’s Delivery Service Blu-Ray this time I bought a used copy in the US off of Ebay since Sf Express lost my sealed one from Japan and I had to haggle with Amazon over it.

Once they delivered an item with no tracking and it arrived brilliantly intact but i’m never using them again, the point of saving 25 dollars by not using Fedex isn’t worth it. Who is to say Amazon won’t use them in any case free shipping or no, not buying any more import blu’s from them. CDJapan or Yesasia or some other site from here on out if at all.

The first part of my James Bond Video Collection covers the non-Laserdisc formats. The blue DVD box has Dr. No, Goldfinger, Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Licence to Kill, Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies.

Star Trek III Pan and Scan. With OBI. First Issue 1985. It does have digital audio unlike the first issue TMP theatrical and Star Trek II.

My GOUT Star Wars arrived. so, its official, only Return of the Jedi is superior on PAL. Star Wars transfer is not that good, but Empire was the worst of all 3.

Despite the blown out overly bright colors and crushed blacks and messed up audio the corresponding 2004 DVD remaster looks a whole lot better than the definitive edition transfer of all 3 films. The PAL DVD for those is quite good.

Added Terminator 2 (first Squeeze LD). Thanks Charlie ‘StrictlySega’ Spooner for ensuring it arrived intact.

I don’t have many DVDs anymore, except for the original releases of “Smallville”, “Roswell”, and “Star Trek: Voyager”. Otherwise, here’s my list…

For my birthday I bought The Japanese Blu-ray of my Neighbor Totoro, yes its used, and i paid like 20 more than I would for a new one at retail but its local and I don’t have to pay for import taxes and shipping. I’m also supporting a small business.

I also bought an extremely expensive 80 dollar laserdisc set with OBI of Aliens Japanese Special Collection. This person’s collectibles shop is just very high in prices even with a sale. But they did give me a couple of deals before in Star Trek and Star Wars discs. Probably only gets like half of what I paid after tax and shipping and ebay fees.40 bucks is nothing to write home about. But I will still grouse because of inflation.

All in all both items came to 50 or 60 more combined than i wanted to pay. Because i don’t want to best offer haggle and the free shipping and discount options are a joke.

Underworld Blood Wars DVD. I think this is Region 1 NTSC.

Triple feature of Ultraviolet, Serenity and Resident Evil 2 PAL used. This is UK DVD Region 2.

And also Indiana Jones trilogy and 4th disc bonus content. French PAL release. Lowry. Used. I don’t know if that has English audio I assume it does, but it was 7 dollars it was hard to pass up.

I mean of course they are DVD but to me 28 bucks for 7 films is pretty good in any format. Good DVD prices, even if some of the titles aren’t the best and that is putting it mildly. Their VHS prices were insane though no VHS is worth 20 dollars even if its sealed especially Temple of Doom or Last Crusade. I would have paid that for a sealed first issue Raiders though if even on the high side, but there are zillions of copies of the sequels. and so many reissues of Raiders through the 1980s the only one that is correct is the one that advertises a 1984 release for Temple of Doom.
