​@@DVDhoarderI now have a mortgage and have to be selective. That said, I no longer wait for JB sales. You have to visit three shops to find three want-list titles (I prefer not to mail order but should).

Reminder, this is where "evil" piracy comes into play. If the company refuses to give the customer what they want, the black market is more than happy to pick up the slack. Sometimes its the only way to even watch a movie, as streaming services may not have it. Plus you can check out if a movie is any good before spending a bunch on a disc you may not like. I also believe piracy affects positive change, as home media no longer has trailers and other commercials that force play when you put a disc in; Its either straight to the menu or the movie itself.

So happy I picked up Power Rangers a few months ago! Had no idea it was so close to out of print! I grew up with Power Rangers and was a fun watch all these years later. 🤘🏼

I recommend that you take a trip to here in California. Currently with the demise of Physical Media as a main stream product , there are lots of bargains to be had in the used DVD outlets. I live in Burbank (2km away are WB, Disney and Universal studiis). We have Atomic Records here in Burbank and both CD Trader plus Amoeba Records , just 20 minutes away. I have a number of rare items that I have paid under $10 (US) for. As far as Best Buy is concerned, most serious collectors stopped shopping there years ago. Walmart is now the largest retailer. Collectors shop on line and have done for many years.

Best Buy's problem is that they were always more expensive than Amazon and they were way overcharging for exclusive steelbook releases. So people stopped buying through them, and they were sitting on inventory that wasn't moving. That and I think the CEO wanted to make it more like Costco and sell appliances more than anything.

I have "Power Rangers: The Movie" on BD from Shout Factory with the slip and everything, in pretty much perfect condition. Is that worth anything? I only bought it because I loved that movie back in the day, grew up with the original Power Rangers series (have that on DVD too).

Check the eBay sold listings, caused it’d be worth more than the version I have which doesn’t have the slip. However if you love the film then I think it’s more important to keep it and just enjoy knowing that you can watch it whenever you want

Power Rangers makes sense since Shout! would only hold the license for a certain period of time. There is no excuse for Alien unless they are planning some new set, maybe for its 45th anniversary this year? BTW, Shout! constantly announces when things are going out of print. I get emails all of the time from them about it.

Alien is now under Disney and they don’t release physical media in Australia so it won’t come back anytime soon, if ever. But yeah Shout stuff going oop does make sense given everything they have is under a temporary license but sometimes you just don’t know when that license will end. I would subscribe to Shout’s email to get those notifications, notifications I didn’t know people got, but I can’t order anything from them given I’m in Australia so it doesn’t benefit me much.

Many people now lease their car, buy houses with a massive mortgage, buy all kinds of digital products like video games and movies. The question starts to arise, do we actually own anything these days? Even our bank account, is just a bunch of digits in a computer system. Me and other people have warned about the direction the world is going for a long time now. Most people just saw it as a good thing since it's more efficient and effective in a lot of ways (which it is when it works). The scary thing is all the power ends up in the hands of the coorporations and the contracts that you sign. The terms and right contract that you sign to play a game for instance, could litterally say that the server will be shut down after a year and your access to the game will be terminated forever. In a digital world, we own nothing.

Avengers infinity war on Blu Ray from one charity shop originally cost me 99p + 1p difference altogether it was £1.00 .

Recently, I paid way too much for La La Land on 4k 😅

What's helped me a lot has been to make my hobby a small side hustle. I've bought big lots of blus (for the most part) and sell what I don't like. End up breaking even or making a little extra. Have that cash help me buy stiff I want. Also no matter what, if it's a good deal. I'll buy it. If I don't like it I'll flip it. It's helped make a budget that I strictly use for my hobbies and have added in not cutting into my responsibilities as a father. Before I would just buy what i like and always feel like I'm missing out on the niche stuff that caught my interest. ALSO ive also stopped worrying too much about missing the blu/4K if the dvd is still available. Because if i can find the blu/4K later for cheap ill can offset the dvd a bit.

BEWARE THE STREAMING SERVICES!!!

I’m sure some time down the road once a new show and new merchandise kicks back up some company will release a blu ray again of the movie. The franchise is popular enough to still make money but just kind of in limbo right now since there is no new show filming and hasbro gave up on the toys

I would say the one I'd like to find on blu-ray is the complete series set of either outlaw star or burst angel.

It does feel great to get OOP discs at a cheap price. For example (at a certain time) the Alec Baldwin Walking with Cavemen was going for 200+ dollars. I got it for 5 on Ebay. lol

I managed to pick up Klute on Blu-Ray from my local branch of HMV, when I found out through their website they still had a copy of this now out of print title. I’d seen it before many years ago on Sky Movies and decided I would like to see it again, following the death of Donald Sutherland.

How come the alien 4k is in the thumbnail? Thats not going OOP is it?

It’s out of print in Australia cause Disney pulled out of releasing anything in Australia.

Didn’t they say that Psychical discs will be supported until 2030 when it was announced five years ago due to the backlash it received.

In the case of MMPR: The Movie, Shout's license ran out and since it was put out by 20th Century Fox and Fox is owned by Disney, who knows if it will ever see the light of day again.

@@CollectorCreations Oh yeah. This is Disney we're talking about. It's gone (LBVS).

If I had either of the Power Ranger movie laserdiscs I would sell them because they fetch a hundred dollars easily each.

I could understand why many would think the Godzilla Blu-rays are upscales (I assume you're talking about the Kraken Releasing version of Godzilla 1984 which is now OOP and going for an enormous amount of money) because they could be. Pretty much all of the Hesei and Millennium Godzilla movies on Blu-ray look really bad to just highly okay. However, I think they are all HD native masters that are just really, really old. Toho is notorious for not allowing other companies to do anything with their movies and they do not perform the best scanning and remastering for their movies. As such, many of their Blu-rays such as the Criterion set, the Sony Toho Godzilla Collection, and both 1984 and Biollante look pretty cruddy. They don't exhibit the standard aliasing, macro blocking, and stair stepping of DVD upscales (look at the first season of Shaun the Sheep on the Shout Factory Blu-ray to see what I mean), but they do scream for a remaster. On that note, Biollante does have a Japanese 4K Blu-ray which I think would be interesting to see. I don't have any explicit hard evidence to prove this one way or another, but I am just hypothesizing.

I saw this film in the cinema as a kid. That price is nuts.

I've recently started to collect classic Looney Tunes Blu-rays. The new Collector's Choice Blu-rays are great, but they've got no extra's, and only one disc per volume. I really regret not getting the Platinum Collection, which were really nice packages of 50 cartoons per volume, tons of extra's including audio commentary and a booklet. I also regret not getting the Pink Panther Blu-ray collection. I hope those movies could get a 4K remaster sometime.

Lots of people wouldn’t know that and would only find out the hard way, which is when they’d go to buy it and discover the high prices for themselves.
