III was such amazing quality I had to add parts I and II.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum, getting discs on the cheap!

Avatar 3D was a fiver on Amazon using Music Magpie.
Annoyingly, last time I looked, the discs weren't cheaper from MM themselves after postage is added.

I watched Jackie Chan's First Strike last night and had to laugh as I'd left the CEX sticker on - £1!

Very nice Atticus! Might as well get 4 and 5 to round out the set...

I actually ended up cancelling my order for III in the end. l love it, but have seen it loads and in the end I wasn't sure I wanted it enough to spend ~£30 on t.

I do waver on buying Blus as I really like owning them but having a regular UHD habit can be pretty pricey. However, collecting 3D is now great value (of course back when I was buying all my 3D discs, which I can no longer play, they were all UHD prices *facepalm*).

My solution is to reduce my total purchases by subscribing to Cinema Paradiso, which is the last remaining traditional disc-rental-by-post system. It means I can watch Blus like that Road Games I watched the other day without stumping up for them. I had been really considering the fancy LE version of that a while back, and really glad I didn't go for it as I wasn't a fan of the film at all.

I do have some new purchased discs to post in here too though, which I'll do later today or tomorrow

[QualityChimp]

Totally agree that it's a tricky balance.

Happy to see any rented discs too, so we can see some of the extras as that might sway one of us to buy it.

I love a CeX bargain. Some prices are so good you can watch and then give to the charity shop and it’s less than a rental.

I’m trying to be good and not over-buy physical releases (tough yesterday with Censor, Dune, Last Night in Soho and Afterlife all coming out on the same day - I did buy one of them though ).

I love Halloween so much I just wanted to get these to go with III while the nice chunky slipcase versions are still available.

I've got all the Marvel films and planned to replace the cover art so that there's a spine picture and it looks great on the shelf.

I also thought of doing the same for Spielberg and Carpenter, but again, I don't really want to double-dip and I'm too lazy to do it.

[QualityChimp]

Never seen it, but love any cover art (left) by Noriyoshi Ohrai, who did the Heisei Godzilla posters and the Japanese Star Wars artwork.

I ended up ordering a slip covered steelbook of Incredible Hulk. Irritating it never comes with one as standard. Got that and Ghostbusters Afterlife inbound

[QualityChimp]

Urgh, I want to buy the Back to the Future trilogy.
The latest release is "Ultimate" and the one before was "35th anniversary".

Despite trumpeting "NEWLY REMASTERED" from the packaging, I'm reading that the standard £15 boxset has exactly the same versions and the only way to get the remastered BR versions is to buy the 4K versions, which has both the remastered BR discs and the 4K ones, but that's £50!

Plus I don't have anything to play 4k!

Is this right or have Universal fixed the discs?

Spot on man. I've only had to rein myself in of late as, tbh, I need to save cash to get a buttload of work done to my flat. Your collection must be absolutely rockin' though. We should all do some movie shelf porn pics soon

Not saying you're wrong - but that doesn't sound right to me, surely this version should have the latest discs:

Where did you read that it didn't?

Literally had to read that twice before understanding what you meant!

Literally on the reviews lower down that page!

[wakka]

QC if you want to post pics of your porn collection I'm also fine with that.

Oh you mean the bazillion 1 star reviews? Yeah, I probably should've scrolled down and seen that

OK, so did a bit of digging on this. Looks like it's an error and they put the wrong discs in. Honestly the frequency with which this happens is beyond insane. It literally happens all the fuppin time and it's really irritating

So Universal do/did run a disc replacement programme, details from a HiDef Ninja thread are as follows:

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment UK (UPHE UK) has identified an issue with the home entertainment release of Back to the Future Trilogy 35th Anniversary Edition on Blu-rayTM made available on October 12, 2020. The initial run of the film’s Blu-ray release inadvertently included previously available remastered film content instead of the newest remastered versions of the films as previously promoted, due to a production error. Our goal is to always deliver the best possible product to our consumers. To that end, a replacement program is being established in the UK to ensure that those who have purchased this recent release of Back to the Future Trilogy on Blu-ray receive a corrected disc.
This does not affect any 4K UHD releases which all include the correct discs already.

To receive updated Back to the Future Trilogy discs please email the following information:
• Your full postal address and name
• A copy of your sales receipt or a photo of the discs and the packaging

Please send the above requested information to the email address below:
[email protected]

That's from Oct 2020 so I'd email to check they're still doing the replacement programme.

Such a pain though.

This is a classic!

Inspired by the movies watched thread and a trip to CeX. Not seen it since the cinema when it came out. Looking forward to a rewatch

[wakka]

I checked the CEX site for that the other day (as I was posting about it here) and there were only 2 copies in the whole of the UK! It was lucky you lived near one, they were both miles from me
