top three coolest finds for my collection for sure. (one box has no label btw, super weird)

seems that two of the boxes have the logos and one doesn’t! one of my coolest collection finds so far!

Super pumped! :D

got it for $500 and drove 9 hours round trip on a wednesday after work with my girlfriend:) tested out the SNES on S-Video and Xbox on composite - was blown away by the SNES & surprised how good Conker Live and Reloaded looked on composite. incredibly excited to see Link to the Past on RGB!!

saw this listed at $270 near me. i messaged him offering him $150 thinking that was fair, but i didn’t expect anything since it was such a steep price cut. to my surprise, he said yes! made sure to test it and everything. i don’t have the knowledge to do the proper testing for geometry or bleeding - but i’m super happy about it! :D

(plus other recent pick ups in an attempt to make this post not low effort:))

For those who care: I used to strictly collect 4K and Blu-rays. DVDs were off the table for me as the 480p picture quality bothered the shit out of me and I saw no point in owning them since blu ray and 4K exist. Over time I’ve learned to (slowly) take the stick out of my ass. some of my favorite shows are ONLY available on DVD, Futurama being one of them.

For those who don’t know: the first four volumes are only available on DVD, the rest being on blu ray (volume 5 being rare for some reason). last week I decided to bite the bullet with this collection and the blu-rays. I’m gawking over how beautiful it is. No other piece of physical media even compares to how good this looks.

TLDR: box is sexy

gruv is the goat when it comes to getting tv shows in high quality - i find that barnes and noble and any other physical media store lacks them, so it’s nice to see that gruv is stacked! always looking for tv shows to add to my NAS

Haul Questions:

1. A History of Violence! Cover art intrigued me.
2. Nope! I’m new to criterion collecting so I’m not sure what i’m excited for.
3. All of the movies except for No Country for Old Men were blind buys!
4. Malcolm X!

i’ve only seen bits of face/off (from the Nostalgia Critic, if anyone remembers him)

EDIT: today, i found out that Battle Royale was, in fact, NOT directed by John Woo. oops.

(also had a post about how i got pre-orders for Falling Down and the whole bloody affair for free but mods took it down - super fucking pumped about that.)
