    DVD's You Own Just Because They're RARE

    Actually I've bought ALOT of DVD's because they were going OOP. All the Criterions from SOTL throught the Tati's, A bunch of Image-Universal titles that I thought might be decent. Actually had Swamp Thing (that came from formerly collecting comics). I have been re-thinking this lately...

    Is the original (non-anamorphic) Mary Poppins DVD collectible?

    I don't know for sure. You could check half.com. With the exception of Criterions and a few select others, OOP versions of films do not tend to hold their value. They will only if there is something unique in the old release. For example Little Shop of Horrors has that alternate ending that...

    Update: Dick Van Dyke Show On DVD .... Looks Like We'll Be Waiting A Little Longer

    I want the entire series, but I'm not a HUGE fan of "special packaging". For the most part, it just takes up extra space and with over 1300 DVD's, I need to economize space. It seems that DVD has gotten so popular, almost all "special projects" end up being taken over and distributed en...

    I have a new theory.

    Actually with some box sets you can make money. But with new releases (like K-19) above, you will be lucky to get 9.99 for an opened disc. Prices are often $5-$8 less for an opened disc than a brand new one. Look at Monsers, INC. They are only getting between $11-$12 for a SEALED copy. It used...

    AOTC & LOTR:EE/SE store price reports (threads merged)

    Wanted 3 copies, so I was gonna do the Wal-Mart PM at 12:15 am. I pass by a TRU on the way home, so I stopped to pick up a couple of more ads, just in case. Well, I decided to pre-order it and was able to pre-order all three copies. Stopped by TRU on the way to work. Noticed lines of 30 deep...

    Weekly Roundup 11/12 (May The Force Be With You!)

    I have contacted friends and family in other cities: It is NOT in the New York Daily News (thanks for looking, Stacey), Houston Chronicle (thanks Bro!), or the Washington Post (sorry to "waste your time", Ed! ). I just go the ad in the Houston Chronicle. Maybe it's not in every region of a...

    One man's fight to save Public Domain

    Since reading this thread and listening to the free culture speech, I have reached this conclusion about how I believe this should be worked out. 1) The owner of a copywright on a book or film would have unlimited rights for the ORIGINAL version of his work as long as he kept the work...

    This just in: Universal TV news!

    With all these releases, I'm almost hoping that some studios slow down. TNG and Dark Shadows every other month are killing me. I think I will be happy with Fox's schedule of 2 seasons per year. (Except maybe Buffy, which I am getting hooked on through DVD for the first time!) I am a sucker for...

    Help needed ,STAR TREK fans !

    I picked up about half of them for around 10 bucks each (or lower) with coupons. But nobody seems to discount these things any more. I keep thinking we should get a price drop to 14.99, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I will wait until I can get them for that sweet spot of 10 bucks. With...
