I’ve been trawling the charity shops recently but Blu-rays are coming up short. Usually the mass market films everyone already owns.
However, this week I picked up Free Fire from CEX (£1.50) cracking little film, and managed to find Shazam! from a charity shop for just £1.
How are you searches going?
I can see the image and I love that Bioshock design. It’s ironic because I’ve seen the old green special Terminator 2 VHS boxes that have now gone rusty with age.
Cheers.
From what I can tell, each steelbook is individually weathered, which is quite something. Not sure you could get that greenlit today.
Yeah, that’s a really nice set. I am trying to not collect VHSs at the moment, but that’s tempting. The rust almost adds to the character.
My house is so small, I don’t have any VHS although back in the day I had some lovely box sets.
All my DVDs are in cd wallets. The blurays are in binders with their inlays. The only ones that get to survive intact are 4Ks and any Blu-ray or DVD that’s in special packaging or means something special to me so it’s kept as is.
Ah yes, that’s tricky.
I have quite a bit of storage but I want to keep my display shelf space restricted - everything is going to have to earn it’s place. I did once have a more maximalist approach to collecting but it just means I ended up with a lot of terrible films. I see the photos of shelves of 10s of thousands of discs and hauls where people have blind bought pretty much everything a releaser has put out but it just proves to be that a carefully curated collection may be more my bag these days.
I am measuring up the prospective shelving (still got lost of my collection in boxes after moving) and there does seem a space on top for some nice looking VHS boxes. Dammit.
