I recently started collecting CDs and have around 20-30 right now.
Today I picked up ...And Justice for All by Metallica
If that the only one you have do yourself a favor and stop there. :/

METALLICA***FTW!!!
1). Kill 'Em All,
2). Ride The Lightning,
3). Master of 'Muppets',
4). (starting to lose faith -but- still not bad) And Justice For All,
5). (lost the rest of my faith with) The Black Album,
...and...if they have any other albums after this - I don't even wanna' know about or ever hear them!

On a other collections note. I also have a decent amount of action figures, CDs, and I used to read comics. I have 15 volumes of Naruto manga, most all .hack related manga/novels and some of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. I also have a decent sized collection of Anime.

Heh! I'm old :P
I was born on 10-25-70; so...I was 10 years old in '80 and turned 20 in '90.
Obviously, me (and many others like myself / those who were in their teens - early 20's) at this time had a very good & thorough, 1st-hand experience of the beginning, the "high-points/domination" of, and the beginning of the end of the "80's Metal/Hard-Rock" and/or "Hair Bands"
As Scott mentioned, I was indeed a fan of Cliff Burton. I also thought that Dave Mustaine did some amazing guitar work while he was with Metallica!
Just for laughs...anyone who has more than just a little passing interest in Megadeth, Dave Mustaine, and/or Metallica (specifically, *earlier* Metallica); *PLEASE*:
A). Listen to the song "Mechanix" by Megadeth,
B). Listen to the Metallica song "The Four Horsemen" (off of their "Kill 'Em All" album), and
C). Tell me that Mr. Mustaine wasn't treated like shit by his "friends" from Metallica >:(
Anyhow, during that time (after *years* of Metallica swearing (and building their reputation, following, and credibility) that you'd *NEVER* "hear a metallica song on the radio)", and, swearing even more vehemently that "Metallica would break-up the band & stop performing, writing, and releasing albums *Before* anyone would *EVER* see a Metallica video on MTV".
They built (and were respected by) their fan-base very much on the fact that they were "different", "rebellious", "non-conforming", and...*ESPECIALLY* that they would never be 'sell-outs' (like the other 80's hair-bands, hard-rock & metal bands that Metallica constantly insulted, derided, and prided themselves greatly on how they would never "conform" like bands such as Guns and Roses and Motley Crue had by "adding an orchestra to hard-rock/heavy metal"; or by (at that time, in the eyes of the band & their fans) commiting the worst Sin/"Sell-out" possible...
...*Going MTV*
So, for myself (and the majority of my friends growing-up); it wasn't so much that we couldn't stand The Black Album because there wasn't a single decent song on it...so much as it was that (starting w/ And Justice For All) and continuing/being forever cemented w/ the release of The Black Album...sadly (yet undeniably) Metallica was no longer the Metallica that we grew-up loving and standing in line overnight to assure a seat at their next local show :(
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure that financially & business-wise, their big *changes* were well thought-out & profitable & successful for them. I'm sure that the "newer" Metallica releases exposed many new & younger fans to their music...and earned them (another) great & large following...but...it also cost/lost them one, too :-\

As for the S&M set : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26M_(album) . Its an orchestra playing Metallica songs with the band. It really is an impressive sound. :)
After re-reading what you said, its ironic I mentioned the S&M cause its exactly what they said they wouldnt do.

I will agree with you on the Napster deal. I lost a whole lot of respect for them when that happened.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on September 17, 2012, 04:03:31 pm
In all honesty I didn't listen to them much after the whole Napster fiasco. But years later I got the bug to listen to them again and they are back to being part of my playlist.
On an on topic note. I ordered a couple Special Edition characters , the 1st expansion and an add on pack of dragonlings for Super Dungeon Explore. Hopefully it all comes in soon.

They actually received a lot of backlash over ...and Justice for All. The songs were long and from a technique stand point far superior to their earlier works. So they dumbed it back down on Black, and continued to really dumb it down up to St. Anger.
Yes, I do own Kill'em All -> Re-Load. It's just that Justice happens to be the only album I can listen too completely without being bored as all hell.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: soera on September 17, 2012, 04:58:45 pm
I like And Justice for all ... but the black album will always be my favorite of theirs. I can listen to every song on that one. And I also like King Nothing and Unforgiven 2.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on September 17, 2012, 06:17:15 pm
The Black album was my 1st real Metallica experience. I slowly bought the rest of their albums over the following years and I'd say that Justice is my all time favorite, followed by Master. I am a huge fan of Cliff Burton though and usually if I start up my Metallica playlist the 1st song I play is Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth).

The other day I found some lint that looked just like James Hetfield's beard. Speaking of James Hetfield, how awesome is Metallica? Take away that Mission Impossible 2 song, and the rest is gold. I'm even down with St. Anger. Every album has something to offer. What's my favorite, you ask. Welcome Home or Battery or Fuel. I can't decide.

I haven't heard much of their latter albums, but:
Practice What You Preach: It was their 1st release and just about every song on it was excellent :) (This album includes the awesome song "The Ballad").
The Legacy: Another *excellent* album.
The New Order This one's kinda' 'fuzzy', but, I *seem* to remember liking it...
Definitely get/give a listen to #1 "Practice What You Preach" & #2 "The Legacy" if you like what you hear on their GH album. ;D

Slipknot recently released a greatest hits CD. I really need to get it.
And since this is other collections, tomorrow is the release day for another thing I collect : CSI season. Sadly all 3 of them come out tomorrow and I cant afford one of them yet. From what I hear, its the last season of CSI Miami (stupid idea CBS to put a show on Sunday and base its success off that). But $65 x 3 = too rich for me atm. Ill probably try to get them used as soon as I can. I dont watch the show during the regular airing times cause I buy the seasons anyhow. It was like repeats when I would watch the seasons once I bought them.

Out of all three CSI shows, Miami was the one that felt too long in the tooth. New York and Vegas have their own things going, but every time I saw Miami in the recent seasons... I saw Horatio Caine torturing someone.
I dunno... I'm glad it was canceled. :\

So, in this topic/thread is the 1st time that I've thought about, talked about, and/or dug-out some of my older Testament cd's to give them a listen...
Yesterday, my girl and I were talking about/wondering aloud about what we might want to be doing for a "Saturday night out".
1/2 hour ago, I took a quick ride to p/u a few things at the store --and-- AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE CAR...what's on the radio???
Well, nothing but an ad announcing that on Sat. night (in Atlantic City/30 - 40 minute drive)...
TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL, *AND* ANTHRAX are all doing a show together.
Now, not only do the girl & I know exactly what we're doing...but...we can't wait ;D

@disgaeniac Did you get to go to the show?
Purchased some CDs from the Walmart bargain bin and the gohastings sale recently. I am going to slow down on the CD buying now. I was just getting some new ones since I recently started listening to Metal and had no metal CDs. I got, The Cars: The Cars- One of my favorite albums and bands ever. Been listening to my dads old scratched up CD so I finally got this one. The Cars: Greatest Hits- Purchased this one because I eventually plan on having a complete Cars CD set. Pantera: A Decade of Domination- Heard about this band from disgaeniac. AWESOME album, my favorite song of what I have heard is Walk. Avenged Sevenfold: City of Evil-Great album, I really like the singer's voice. Metallica: Master of Puppets- Probably my favorite album right now. Every song is perfect. Modest Mouse: Good News for People Who Love Bad News- Excellent album, has a cool sound. Limp Bizkit: Greatest Hitz- This one is the only one I did not like at all. I thought it would like it because I enjoy Linkin Park's older stuff, but there was way too much rap on this album. I am only out a dollar though.

This is a win. Good stuff right there. I wish I would have been around to catch Pantera live. The broke up before I had my own money to road trip to see them. I've seen Metallica and Sevenfold both several times. Love me some live music and those are two of my favorite bands.

Recently added some CDs to my slowly growing CD collection....
- Looks like we have some similar tastes in bands (if not the same albums, so much) :P
Velvet Revolver - I have 1 of their CD's...just can't remember what the name of it is (pretty sure it's their 1st one, though).
Rush - I've got/love Moving Pictures & 2112.
Pantera - Loved them from the start - actually saw them in NYC on their "Cowboys From Hell" tour (also my favorite album of theirs).
Ozzy Osbourne - I've got soooooo very much love & appreciation (of Rhandy Rhoads' raw & pure talent as a guitarist...and...I love the way that he used/blended his classical training w/ hard-rock. Shame we lost him so early.
(I'm speaking as an ex-guitarist myself, here).
Obviously enough, then, my favorites are, of course, "Diary of a Mad-Man" and "Blizzard of Ozz".
- However, I also think that he (Ozzy) lucked-out w/ getting both Jake E. Lee & Zakk Wylde as his later guitarists; that is, in terms of both being quite talented guitarists (no "Rhandy" of course), but both very talented none-the-less.
So, I also have/like Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin. I didn't keep-up w/really like the ones after that as much.
* On a *Funny* note - I made sure to him him on his Ultimate Sin tour (as it was being marketed as "certainly his last tour ever" :o
Meh, At least I saw the show (and Motorhead, too:)
Motley Crue - I have/my favorites are:
Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil (are, IMO, their best work); though...I still hung w/ them and "kinda' liked" Girls, Girls, Girls, Theater of Pain, an Dr. Feelgood...anything after that...not so much

I got a bunch more CDs today but the one that caught my eye the most was this one.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-10-17c.jpg) This is a soundtrack album for the "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" television series and it was only given out to the show's cast and crew, and friends of the show. And I found a copy of it today for two bucks.
Well worth it despite having Dragula. :P (I kinda hate the song since it's been overused for years.)

I mentioned this in passing in Site Feedback.
I went on an unplanned trip to the US to do some shopping this afternoon, and we stopped by the dollar store near the outskirts of town. I was browsing a shelf while I waited for my turn to pay and I saw one of those baggies that contain random comics. One of the comics was Spawn / Batman. The other... was this.
I had no idea it existed, and it's apparently a prequel to Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare. o_o :D

Today I wandered into town (in Mexico) to see if any of the local "dollar" stores still had copies of Supreme Commander available. They had some for months but I never picked one up - then one day they removed all the games, DVDs and CDs from the store that was closest to me. I decided to check one of their other stores which is about fifteen minutes away by bus, across town, and found a few CDs, and some cheapy DVDs.
However, I decided to walk into the pharmacy next door (which is owned by the same company). I found that copy of Hitler's Clone at another one of their stores... and found a few more DVDs.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-11-04.jpg) The pack on the left contains six drug lord / Mexican gangster films and was released by Brentwood Entertainment in the US some six years ago. This thing was hidden away inside a shelf display that had other DVDs and CDs. The pack on the right contains three random movies, two of which were of interest to me (the other one, not so much.)
Here's the awesome part - both of these sets were on discount. The one with six movies had a price of twenty pesos - about $1.66 USD. The second one? 54 pesos, about $4.50. However this one had different prices because they'd put the package on clearance. So I went to the register to pay and they only charged me 36 pesos for both - THREE DOLLARS.
Too bad that six pack has double sided DVDs. I freakin' HATE them.
Despite that, it looks like that six pack might not be a total bust after all. (http://foxhack.tumblr.com/post/35039543999/holy-crap-its-mexican-rambo)

Picked up the Mel Brooks Collection (9 films) on blu-ray a few days ago. Amazon had it on sale for $26, which is a crazy price -- that's under $3 per movie! (http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/public/sClv2AOSkkFOTggn4gVEkAVpGZ9l0NHlsRwlAA1xIfj3-TECAEwcziZ9KxWnyg3beTWcMrdA3uTyqMsObrimHysCswAzRQ5B1_Iwg5fjYMrl53bcU9_xtVer06kJsd8z5Pal1hTSXJXuzEZHa8uq_KleyzaFzFRVVfKXMe6wh9JwLpiy57-mCN3zFShqbN4CuRI4GA=s220-c)
Includes Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, History of the World Part I, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Silent Movie, Spaceballs, The Twelve Chairs, To Be or Not to Be & Young Frankenstein. Sadly, it doesn't have The Producers, but luckily it doesn't include Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Hated that movie. And I rarely hate movies.

From Monday & Tuesday:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-11-12-13.jpg) The New Leviathan Oriental Fox Trot Orchestra / Burning Sands - $1 Various Artists / Avenue Q The Musical - $2 (the seller was a douche, he wanted $6 for four CDs but I could only afford two; I asked if he'd take $3, he said discs were $2 each. So I only took this one.) Mecano / Entre el cielo y el sueño - $1 Atlantis al rescate, Mente fugitiva (Fugitive Mind), Los ocupantes (The Borrowers) - 42 US cents each
I went to a supermarket in my hometown to see what kind of cheapy DVDs they had. They had a bin filled with legit DVDs for less than 10 pesos each, but they were on sale, so each one cost me about five pesos - around 42 cents each. I found a bunch of titles that I wanted but most were pretty beat up. I did find Kazaam with Shaq! But it was dubbed to Spanish. These are shrinkwrapped discs in cardboard sleeves so they're super cheapy. :P
Today: (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-11-12-14b.jpg) The Shy Guys / Breaking up is hard to do (new) - $1 For Science / Way Out of Control - $1 The Chipmunks / A Very Merry Chipmunk - $1

After putzing around with my 5th gen iPod Video, which was in it's final stages of life. It had a good run and for something that's used at least 7 hours a day it served me well. But after one replacement battery and having the library mystery wiped a multitude of times, dealing with random lock ups, weak battery life, a case that's been through the war and a drive that no longer accommodated my music collection. I finally bit the bullet and replaced it.
So now I've added an iPod Classic 160gb to my "collection" of personal audio equipment. Currently I'm sitting on about 30gb of space used with 3,478 songs on it and will be working on ripping the rest of my CDs this weekend. Now I just need to eventually buy myself the headphone amp I've been looking at and I'll be set for awhile. ;D

Ha, ya I would be using FLAC too, but I don't feel like trying to not brick my iPod rockboxing it to play FLAC files. So I just rip it all to ALAC.
And, I finished up my CDs last night and ended up at 10.3 days. Got a way to go before I catch up to Darko. haha
... are you serious, wait why am I surprised that Apple isn't using the same codec everyone else uses and instead they have their own.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on December 02, 2012, 04:01:30 pm
Yup stock iPods don't support FLAC at all. So if I want lossless audio I have to go with their built in Apple Lossless Encoder. If I want to run FLAC, I'd have to install custom firmware onto the iPod and according to a few forum threads I've read they suggest rockbox.
But I don't feel like ruining a brand new iPod, so I'll live with ALAC as my lossless format. Even though FLAC is prolly waaaay more storage space friendly.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: foxhack on December 02, 2012, 05:59:21 pm
I read that FLAC and ALAC take up more or less the same space. I'm just not surprised that Apple went with propietary codecs again instead of using something anyone can use.
Also, unless you're backing up your music for archival purposes (like I do) there really is no need for FLAC. MP3 at the highest quality is still pretty good.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on December 02, 2012, 06:33:19 pm
Ya I'm ripping my CD collection as ALAC. But dumping the songs the songs to the iPod as 256kbps AAC. But I think I'm going to need to invest in a second hard drive, or a better portable drive eventually. :)

Just for the record, Apple products will play FLAC, you just have to use something other than iTunes to rip it in that format. A lot of my music that I have on my computer is FLAC. I can tell a significant difference between FLAC and high quality MP3 in my car and over my stereo system in my house. Everywhere else? Not really.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on December 03, 2012, 01:37:22 pm
Really? Everything I read suggested that you needed to mod your iPod in order to play FLAC files. Not that it matters though, since I'm using AAC files on the iPod itself, since they take up half the space and I can't really tell the difference, even with my Audio-Technica ATH-EW9's on.

Well, I usually jailbreak every apple product I own so maybe something opens up when you do that? iTunes has zero issue playing FLAC on my computer or on my iPhone (unless something else is going on that I don't know about).

Slightly gaming related, but not database related. I added the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game's Assault on Icecrown Citadel raid deck to my growing "board games" collection last weekend. It's kinda neat, since it has hero decks and the boss deck in it and I was a fan of the WoW TCG when it first came out. It made me scrounge the basement for my old cards and the Onyxia's Lair raid deck I have. I'm already eyballing the other 5 raid decks that I'm missing, ha.

I've been on a Anime/Manga kick lately and have gotten some series I've been meaning to for a long time. including Trigun, season 1 of Yu Yu Hakusho, Kaze no Stigma, and the Legend of Zelda Manga Box Set
Good to see that you're still around; Jersey :P

Aaaaand I just bought WoW TCG raid decks for Molten Core, Black Temple and Magtheridon's Lair. I'm gonna end up buying cards to build player decks for each class too and making into a self contained game. So my friends don't have to buy into the game... dammit.
Plus a KS is ending for a new board game that I'm backing, and I'm looking into a few other games, plus more Super Dungeon Explore... sigh.
EDIT: Dammit! I just found out they have dungeon decks too! Crap. I'll be needing all 3 of those. Shitty thing is, most of the places around here don't stock a lot of WoW TCG stuff.

Like I said in the Christmas Loot thread.
I added the James Bond 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray Collection and the Star Wars Complete Saga to my movie collection, thanks to Christmas gifts.
And my sister got my the Dominion: Intrigue expansion, which will now need to get the cards sleeved and set along with the base game and Seaside in my tabletop games collection. :)

I haven't had many additions to my library lately but things are looking up:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-01-02b.jpg) Jan Daley / Where There's Hope (Bob Hope Tribute Album) V/A / Thank You, Duke: Our Tribute to Duke Ellington (Sealed) V/A / Thank You, John: Our Tribute to John Coltrane (Sealed) V/A / A Chicago Blues Tour V/A / The Great Jazz Vocalists Sing Ellington and Strayhorn V/A / The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead Radiohead / Amnesiac $1 each

DVD: Ghost in The Shell (some wear to art) - $1
The Criterions were pretty cheap. Apparently Contempt is worth quite a bit, too! I plan to watch it before selling it. ;)

Some more finds:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-01-03b.jpg) The Lost World (1997 Lumivision DVD) - $1 The Midnight Horror Collection (Last of the Living / Grave Mistake / Awaken The Dead / I Am Omega) - Free, Goozex The Ultimate Ninja Collection: Mafia vs Ninja - Free, Goozex 18 Fingers of Death - Free, Goozex
And since I was in the middle of town paying some bills, I hopped to the supermarket nearby to pick up some DVDs for reselling (turns out one of the things I picked up last month is actually worth a lot on eBay because the movie has no R1 release and probably never will!) and I saw they still had the Five Peso DVD bin... and that all other DVDs and Blurays were 40% off. And this is what I walked out with.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-01-03c.jpg) Gatúbela (Catwoman) R1/4 - 36 pesos ($3) 9 Ninjas y medio (9 1/2 Ninjas! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101255/) ... yes, really.

I'm probably hitting the other supermarket nearish to my home and see if I can find the -other- volumes of these Santo and Horror sets. The five peso bin promo ends on the 5th, and the 40% off promo on the 6th.

Backfilling my finds:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-01-16_zpse34d3bb1.jpg) Cantinflas Show 5-DVD volumes 1 and 2 (new, $1 each) Savage Sisters ($2) Los Caballeros del Zodiaco: La muerte de Hades (new, Mexican bootleg, $1) La maldición de Nostradamus (new, $1) La fuga del Rojo (new, $1)
Some of you guys may remember Cantinflas show under its American name, Amigo and Friends. Caballeros del Zodiaco is a bootleg from Mexico. How it ended up in the US, I dunno. The Nostradamus flick is... well, one of his descendants is an evil wizard and wants to take over the world. And a scientist must stop him. La fuga del Rojo is a typical 1980's action flick with the man that gives Chuck Norris nightmares, Mario Almada. :D
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-01-30_zpsf2b88ac8.jpg) Then last week I got this stuff. Fun fact, Jeff Goldblum is a bit player in the movie.
This week: (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-02-06a_zps354c8755.jpg) Pink Floyd / Dark Side of the Moon (SACD remaster from 2003) - $1 Save Ferris - Introducing... (EP, $1)
The Save Ferris EP sounds SO DIFFERENT from their first album!
This is from yesterday and today: (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-02-06c_zps5b9e528c.jpg) Ninja Warriors (new) - $1 The American Poop Movie (new) - $2 La venganza del Rojo: La fuga del Rojo 2 - $2 Camino al infierno - $2
Sadly, the Ninja Warriors DVD doesn't have a Zuntata soundtrack. Also, what kind of jerkbags add the movie trailer BEFORE the movie itself? They spoiled everything! I have no idea what American Poop movie is about but the title was catchy. After getting La fuga del Rojo the other week I found out that there was a sequel, but idiot sellers want big bucks for it. And then I found it here. :D And Camino al infierno is another movie with Mario Almada... which I already owned in a three pack (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-11-04.jpg). I didn't realize it because the artwork was different. Oh well, no big loss. This one has cooler artwork.

Monday: (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-02-11_zps2b1b8545.jpg) $1. The guy who sold this to me had no idea it had this many movies. It's mostly PD crap, but at a buck, why not.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the movies in this set are encoded in a weird half-width resolution (http://foxhack.tumblr.com/post/42869146379/so-those-dvds-i-got-theyre-encoded-in-this). My computer plays them fine but I haven't tried any on my PS2...
Today: (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-02-13_zps1cbe9e9f.jpg) Cuatro Peliculas de Alfonso Zayas - $1 Motocross Zombies From Hell - $1 100,000 Watts (lots of music videos) - $1 Champion Joe - $3
I got those three first movies from the same place I got those Mexican DVDs in past weeks. Motocross Zombies had already been for sale, but I didn't pick it up, I think. The Alfonso Zayas collection... well, it's a bunch of bad comedies. Really bad. The main actor was pretty popular in the 70's (on TV) and 80's (in this genre) but these days he mostly does direct to video garbage. 100,000 Watts is interesting, it's an unauthorized DVD with lots of music videos, including Michael Jackson's Bad. I haven't opened it yet. Motocross Zombies is an American (Latino) film, it just looks stupid so why not. :D
... Champion Joe was the REAL find. Look at it. The series has never received any official releases outside of Japan, and here I found this thing, published by a "legit" company, with security seals and all. That was $3, which is a bit more than I wanted to pay, but it's just so strange... I couldn't resist.

My webcam broke or I'd take pictures, but I picked up Uncanny X-men #20 and #96. I paid $20 total. They are in pretty good condition. I'm slowly and patiently picking up the original 66 issues and the early Claremont issues. I am approaching a third of the original 66 issues with #6 being the earliest. All complete and under $25 per issue. Best buy was #17 for 50 cents.

As well as buying Coheeds new CD The Afterman: Descension. I had 2 $5 reward certificates at Best Buy, so I ended up getting one of them free, basically.

That's nice to know! I would love to hear the commentary, I will have to keep an eye out for it. I had a hell of a time tracking down an acceptable version of Night of the Living Dead when I bought it ~5 years ago. It is right up there with Star Wars with the number of pointless and horrible revisions. It is one of my favorite films though.

I think you're mistaken. There's only been one version of the original Night of the Living Dead. Remakes and sequels don't count. You see the movie show up everywhere because a particular print of the movie fell into the public domain, so it shows up on cheapy DVD sets all the time, often in awful quality. I have it in two or three different versions aside from this one but this is the best DVD print of the movie I've seen.
There is one "alternate" version made by John Russo, though. One that adds completely pointless scenes and horrible "modern" music. Oh and they got Bill Hinzman to reprise his role as the cemetery ghoul... with horrible make-up that makes his face look like if it had a plastic mask on top of it. Nothing against the man, he can do a great zombie (and played one in other films) but the makeup he had on him in that version looked flippin' ridiculous.
Because Night of the Living Dead needed a pointless preacher dude who keeps ramming how evil evil evil humanity is and the ending with this guy just made me rage so hard. SO HARD.
If I ever get to do movie reviews I AM GOING TO RANT ABOUT THIS GUY SO FUCKING MUCH. Spoiler alert for the ending: IT FUCKING BLOWS.

(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2013-03-12b_zps517f8cd1.jpg) I found six different Bloom County books for $1. I thought this would be worth something, but... nope! Still, the books are pretty funny (and strangely accurate even today) so I think I'll keep 'em. And yes, that IS Poppa Bush holding a penguin wearing a bikini.
A booth where I usually get CDs and games had a tub with dollar store DVDs. I asked the owner the price and she said two for a buck. Hnnnnnnngh. I held up and decided to go back after I'd done my usual hunt for stuff, and when I did, I grabbed all these. I left behind a -lot- of things I wanted to take because they were either scratched, cracked, or the artwork was trashed. Still, nine bucks for what amounts to 27 movies, none of which I already owned, wasn't bad.
I think I have a problem. :P

I thought I posted about it, but apparently not.
About a week ago, I hit up an old mom and pop used record store. It was awesome and like walking into High Fidelity, only a lot less organized.
I walked out with 4 Doors albums in vinyl:
The Soft Parade Other Voices 13 Alive, She Cried
All of them are in really good shape and have minimal shelf wear / ring wear.
Also, I just found a really nice copy of Full Circle on Saturday. The cover's color is crisp, has no punch outs, cut outs and only a little ding in the bottom right corner.

The kickstarter backed, Guilds of Cadwallon board game came today. We ended up doing a bunch of running around tonight though, so we didn't get a chance to play it. I also ordered up the latest expansion packs for Super Dungeon Explore too!

Vinyl is a horribly addictive beast, but well-worth it. Better sound, and maybe because of the higher prices, I find myself being more selective about what I pick up. I've got roughly 200-300 assorted LPs, 12"s, 10"s, and 7"s, but almost all of it is good... well, if you like experimental noise/industrial and electronic stuff :P

Ya, if anything. I'd prolly just stick with Doors albums. Just to keep it focused. At the moment, I have all their studio albums, the 2 original Live albums and their 1st 2 Greatest Hits collections. :)

I love the S&M set as well but I am a Metallica fan. I really didnt care for their first release (never been too much into speed style metal) but they had a huge run of awesome releases after. Ride the lightning has one of my favorite of all their songs (Fade to Black), Justice for all and the Black album are 2 of the best metal releases of all time. I also liked Load and Reload. I dont care about their hair cuts or anything at the time about people saying they sold out, the songs on those 2 CDs are really just good stuff. I think when it all comes down to it, Im a Jason Newsted Metallica fan. Everything after he left has been blah for me.

Same here. I've loved like every Metallica album produced, except St. Anger. Yes, even Load, Re-Load, and Death Magnetic.
St. Anger was complete crap, though. Sounded like Lars was playing the tin cans, the song writing had like no depth to it, the songs were repetitive and annoying, and it sounded cheaply produced even though we all know it wasn't.

Post by: scott on April 30, 2013, 07:41:26 pm
ya, that's my biggest issue with St Anger. I could understand if they were going for a Garage sound, but it honestly sounded like a poorly produced Demo. There are no solos in it, and that's one thing I've always loved about Metallica. Actually I dislike St Anger so much that refuse to waste space on my iPod with it... same w/ Lulu, that album is complete garbage.

I started out w/ AC/DC and Metallica and went more toward metal over the rest of High School. But now my tastes cover anything from Classic Rock, Metal, Punk, SKA, Jazz and anything in between... I don't really like Country, though, I make an exemption for Johnny Cash.
Oh and I have like 394 albums on iTune and prolly at least 300 are CDs or close to it. I'm in the process of replacing my iTunes bought albums w/ real CDs too. Once I build my entertainment center in the living room, the goal is to have a row of CDs from one end of the wall to he other (it's a 25' wall). I did the math once, and that'd be like 650 standard size CD cases. :D

My parents are the same way! I prefer CDs because they usually come with a nice booklet, and I prefer to have a physical copy of my stuff.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on April 30, 2013, 08:36:56 pm
I've already re-ripped my collection 2 or 3 times. Either thanks to hard drive failure, switching players or changing format. Plus I am bad about no trusting back ups, which I think might be a hold over from early memory cards for consoles... I've lost many a save file to those things...
So, I'll never get rid of my CD collection. Plus I just like the format. Sure I can't play as many different songs at once, like I can on my iPod. But, there's just that feeling of opening up a brand new disc and listening to it on the drive home.

I don't know why it's hard to understand. Same reason most of us game collector's prefer a physical copy of a game over a digital copy. They're more collectible, it's cool to look at the booklets and artwork, and you get a full album as it was intended to be.

It sort of is a dying format, but on the same token, there's no real successor. SACD and HDCD basically died on the vine, and digital stuff is still usually CD quality or worse. I think I've seen maybe one instance of a release in 24/96... and even then, there's often no way to redownload because services are all over the place.
So I still buy CDs, if I can't get something on vinyl. Probably sitting on around 800 or so, though I do tend to rip everything to WavPack and shelve it. Oddly enough, I tend to listen album by album rather than just putting things on shuffle - I think it's important to hear what the artist was trying to put together for a particular release rather than just plucking out tracks at random all the time.

Here you can see Mustaine playing "Mechanix" (before Metallica "appropriated it as "The 4 Horsemen":) live & listen to him for yourself, since you've never heard him play any of Metallica's stuff...

Both Metallica and Megadeth albums NEED to be heard as a whole. Bruce Dickinson Iron Maiden is the same way. Every song complements the last one.
As for concept albums, Queensryche, Iced Earth, and Amorphis are essential bands for this. "Constitution of Treason" by God Forbid and "Obselete" by Fear Factory are also very good.

Im not going to lie. I love listening to Celine Dion. Been doing it since I was in junior high. Her voice is awesome and would own any of these new girls (Beyonce, Gaga, etc). And she is timelessly beautiful. Which doesnt hurt either. :)
I do have a thing for female singers. Cranberries, Otep, Evanescence, Halestorm, Flyleaf, Kittie, etc. Something about is just nice!

Good point!
I've "known"/"recognized" this -but- hadn't thought to word it that way or look at it like that before.
IMO, though, not just Dickinson -but- even on the Killers (D'ianno) album...I'd say the same thing.
I *LIKE* this thought, though, so I'll add a couple to it -and- I'd be interested in any others that the rest of ya can think of to add to this list :)
- Ozzy albums (particularly the *Best* aka "Rhandy Rhoads" R.I.P.) albums.
- Pink Floyd albums,
- (Most) Judas Priest albums, and -not metal- but...
- Styx (*especially* Paradise Theater) and many of the Stones & Who albums.

Free Comic Book Day today! I got a bunch of back-issues, because my LCS was having a 75% off sale, filled in most of my Batman: Knightfall holes:
-Batman #495, 496, 499, 500 - Newstand (already have the special cover), 501 (Knightfall issues) -Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #63 (Knightsend) -Batman: Shadow of the Bat #29, 30 (Knightsend) -Catwoman #12 (Knightsend) -Detective Comics Starring Batman #659, 661, 663, 664, 665, 668 (All Knightfall/Knightquest issues) -Robin #8 & 9 (Knightsend issues) -Superior Spider-Man #5, 6, 7 -Uncanny X-Men #336 (Onslaught Issue)
As for actual free issues, we were limited to 2 copies only, so I got:
-Infinity (Marvel) Free Comic Book Day -Superman: The Last Son of Krypton -Bongo Comic Free-For-All 2013 (The Simpson) - Comic shop guy just gave me this one extra since I'm a regular.
The only one I really missed out on that I wanted to read since I was limited to only 2 was the Star Wars one, and I probably would have enjoyed the DC Nation one.
Also went to Goodwill and got the following:
-Action Replay DS (complete in the original packaging!) -Kull the Conqueror -TNA Wrestling: Year 1 DVD -WWF: Survivor Series 2001 (thought I was getting Survivor Series 1999, as that's the box it came in, oh well, I still would have bought 2001 if I knew it)

Let's post some Mexican trash!
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2013-05-15a_zpsf9a27bbe.jpg) Found at the US Flea Market I go to today, three bucks each. Each set contains five and seven films, respectively, the topic being drug trafficking and / or illegal activities in the border. These are mostly 70s and 80s flicks with some sequels made ten or twenty years later. Trashy stuff, but good to watch once in a while.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2013-05-15b_zps96102cb3.jpg) And a shop near the border crossing in Mexico is selling off old trashy 90's Mexican comics for one peso each. That's less than a dime each. There's a couple more that I didn't include in the photo 'cause they're kinda NSFWish, but you can see them at my Tumblr (http://foxhack.tumblr.com/post/50539064829/so-a-shop-near-the-border-crossing-with-the-us-is).

I also got the 2 X-Men crossovers X-Tinction Agenda and X-Cutioner's Song.
And I got a bunch of Batman issues including Batman: Year 3 (Tim Drake's origin), A Lonely Place of Dying, Prodigal (Bruce Wayne's first storyline after returning from Knightfall), and the first appearance of Bane and Jean-Paul Valley as Batman which actually happens a couple issues BEFORE Knightfall. Knightfall really should have began with that issue.

Picked up the last two Dungeon decks for the WoW card game. At first I wasn't sure on how well they'd work, since its all automated. But I played a bunch of solo games against my Scarlet Monastery Dungeon deck and it was pretty sweet.
I'm also in the process of rebuilding all my class decks too. So I've bought a bunch more cards to help. The goal is to have one of each class and to have them all do something different. Basically turning the whole thing into one huge self contained game, without the need to have everyone building their own decks.

So today one of my usual DVD sources brought a ton of horror DVDs. And I do mean -a ton-. Much of it was public domain fodder, stuff I already owned in multiple movie sets... and there were lots of vampire movies in there for some reason! Sadly, the seller wanted $3 per case / set, or 2 for $5. That's a lot more than I had hoped he'd say, so I was only going to grab this one at first:
Then I was looking at a New Concorde Double Feature set. One of the movies was a Don "The Dragon" Wilson schlockfest so I almost passed on it... until I read the back. Something something Vampirella something wait BACK THE HELL UP
THERE'S A VAMPIRELLA MOVIE?! I didn't really look at the movie's title, I only saw that woman from the Mortal Kombat movies and went "eh"... but yeah, I grabbed it, paid, and ran. Damn!

Just picked up "13" (the new Black Sabbath CD) -and- upon popping it into my cd player in my car for the ride home from the store, I was pleasantly surprised to hear it sounding distinctly like *Sabbath* instead of *Re-union of OZZY + old band-mates* :)
Wtf, though...$16.99 for *8* songs :o
Did you get it at Hot Topic or someplace like that?
I only ask because I stumbled in there the last week saw it there and was going to get it until I turned it over and saw that price and said fuck that... then bought the deluxe version on amazon for a little less

Really? the one I tend to go to had the Standard version for $11.88 waiting for it to come in but it had Amazon's Autorip feature so I already got the songs but there are 3 extra songs "Methademic", "Peace of Mind", and "Pariah" "Deluxe Album, 3 bonus audio tracks. 11 tracks total.6 panel softpak with 3 pockets and a lenticular cover." ...might post pictures when I get it

Recently picked up X-men vol 1 #27 for $12. I'm getting further along in my quest for the original 66 issues of X-Men (allowing reprints for first 12 issues).
Also picked up Saucer Country Volume 1 as a Trade Paperback.

Hah!
Apparently, there's (2) different "deluxe" editions...The one I have/bought is what you just described...w/ those 3 'extra' tracks.
It seems that there's also a "Best Buy" special edition that comes w/ yet another (4th) track - called "naievete in black".
Fucking shit seems too much like god damned DLC now >:(

I've been absolutely floored by some of the comics that have surfaced at the local comic shop. The past 6-8 months have yielded such gems as Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-Man), Amazing Spider-Man #1 and X-Men #1; all comics I never thought I'd actually get to hold, never mind own.

And one of the greatest finds I've ever had:

All for a dollar each.

Stopped into Barnes and Noble on the way to see Pacific Rim tonight. Turns out they have most of their fancy hardcovers on sale for $10 each! So I picked these ones up to add to my literature collection.
I had to grab that Star Wars book. The cover is freaking sweet! (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/LOPWyrm/IMG_20130728_004051_zps73ac0c8d.jpg)

I didn't find much for games this weekend, but I did pick up one really fun item: a vintage Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull, with all of the accessories, instructions and the original box. The box is actually in pretty great condition -- like it's been sitting in someone's attic since 1983 and they just pulled it out this weekend. I had one when I was a kid, but I'm not sure if it's still around or if the parts are with it or not. It certainly doesn't have the box with it. Only paid $10 for it too!

Who would keep something for 30 years only to get rid of it for $10? Odd but thats a hell of a find for you! I dont collect He-Man in any form but I would have jumped all over that myself.

She was asking $15 for it, but I only had $17 on me and she lowered the price to $10 without me even asking. I think they just wanted to be rid of it. They also had a She-Ra castle in about the same condition. Should have bought that one too. But sometimes I get so focused on one thing I ignore other good deals looking me right in the face. That's how I passed on a boxed and complete Odyssey1 system last year, because I was so focused on the Power Glove that I found :(

Post by: scott on August 01, 2013, 12:25:39 am
I'm hooked on these damn things. Was wandering around the store after I picked up the Illiad and Odyssey and noticed another whole set of single novels. Including Peter Pan, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Jungle Book, Swiss Family Robinson and a few others. But the one that stood out the most was Treasure Island.
I had this book when I was a kid, but it's long since vanished. So having a nice hard cover copy is a sweet bonus. These 2 bring me up to 8 of these Barnes and Noble hardcovers.

I'm kinda working on a board game collection too. the GF, sis and I have been doing a weekly game night. This week I'm finally gonna put Super Dungeon Explore thru the proper paces. But am hoping to find a copy of Tentacle Bento soon. Plus there are a few others that are on my radar.
Once I get a good stack of games. I'll prolly log them on BBG too.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: jobocan on August 21, 2013, 09:35:38 pm
Heh... I'd skip Tentacle Bento frankly, unless you find it for a really good price. It's not horrible, but you can do so much better. For the ~20$ it costs surely you can find some better games.

I'll get it eventually. I am a fan of Soda Pop, even though they are a really unorganized company. Another one on my hope and pray list is Space Hulk... but Games Workshop, being the asshats they are, made the game super limited and finding a copy sub-300 is hard to come by.

Interestingly, I've been on a Drizzt kick again lately (been reading them since I was like 13-14) and picked up The Collected Stories (all Drizzt related short stories), Charon's Claw, The Last Threshold and The Companions. So I'm now back up to an up to date set of books based on the Drow. Unfortunately I am like 7 books behind in reading them and have to find time to play catch up.
Also, Soda Pop released a new LE Hero character for Super Dungeon Explore. So that was an insta-order as soon as she went up on the stop.

Speaking of Drizzt, have you checked this one out? http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/91872/dungeons-dragons-the-legend-of-drizzt-board-game
If not it might be worth getting on your radar since you're a fan of the books. I've seen a tutorial for Wrath of Ashardalon which seems really similar gameplay-wise, it looks like a possibly fun co-op game.
... And man those Super Dungeon Explore minis are really cool.

We are playing a full game of SDE tomorrow! I can't wait. Unfortunatly, I haven't had time to finish painting the base set, so we'll be playing a mostly unpainted game. hah
And ya, I've been looking at that Legend of Drizzt game and want it badly. I'll need to see if I can swing is soon. Might be a bit though, since I just bought 2 copies of the new SDE hero and the last 2 mini-expacs I needed for SDE too.

After a week of being ordered and "processing" I finally got my Rocktop Gang, Fireflow Denizens. I also pulled a Disgaeniac and bought x2 Nyan Nyan heroes, people are going nuts over her and she's supposed to be a Limited Edition mini, so I figure I'd get two and see if she jumps in price like Candy and Cola did.
Cool Mini or Not is pretty crap about letting you know your order shipped. I literally got the shipment confirmation after I walked in the door w/ the packages in hand.
So that's how we're calling that, eh? I'm sure he'll be honored :P
Just got 7 Wonders (a card drafting board game) with both expansions, Walk the Plank (some board game from Kickstarter where you "program" your dudes' movements) and Dungeon Roll (a solo dice game that happens to be playable with other players if you want to be bored for a while waiting for your turn.. also from Kickstarter).
This board game shelf is starting to look pretty good (there's a couple abstract games missing from this shot). (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/jobocan/PICT0090_zpsc6ea38f2.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jobocan/media/PICT0090_zpsc6ea38f2.jpg.html)

Nice. I don't know what it is, but a lot of people I know are really starting to get into board gaming a lot at the moment.
There's a variety of elements. A lot of REALLY good games have been coming out in the last few years, there's more and more people talking about games in general, and there's Wil Wheaton.
For me, I've been into board games for a while, but never really bought any or really looked at what was in the market beyond abstract games and whatever I played with friends. This year though I just got this moment where I thought about board games a lot and started looking into it some more, getting some games I played in the past and new games I learned about in videos and such.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on September 12, 2013, 05:37:00 pm
Ya my sis has been really into Wheaton's YouTube series and has found a bunch of games to try on there.
For me it was cause of my buddy's massive collection and Reaper's ks. If I hadn't backed it, I wouldn't have discovered Relic Knight and in turn SDE. Which lead me to Guilds of Cadwallon and others.
And on topic...
Tentacle Bento arrived today thanks to Desocietas and her trip to PAX!

Very nice! A friend brought over Smash Up last night, but we didn't get around to it. It's really fun though. Our latest game addiction has been Pandemic, but damn is that game not brutal (in the addictive, one-more-time kinda way.)

Some people say Pandemic isn't complete if you don't have at least the first expansion. I haven't played it myself but it does sound really cool.
... So I added more games to my collection.
Got an expansion for Cosmic Encounter, basically just to get a sixth player (and a bunch more alien powers, yay!). Evo, a sort of area control game where you evolve dinosaurs in constantly-changing climate, and a bidding mechanic. It's made by the guy who made Small World, and it's quite fun. Finally, Lords of Waterdeep, which is a DnD-based worker placement game. There's an episode of Wil Wheaton's youtube show about it, it gives a small idea about how it works. Seems fun.
I'll just note this geeklist on boardgamegeek, it's for an online store which sells some games for a pretty good price, and also, at least for Canada, free shipping and no taxes. http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/71514/buying-board-games-at-bookdepository-com
Might be worth checking out :P That's where I got Lords of Waterdeep for 38$ (instead of the usual 45$+tax+shipping).

Finally was able to get the final World of Warcraft TCG raid deck. This one is based on the Caverns of Time instances and it's pretty sweet. It doesn't seem to be based on any particular instance and is more an amalgamation of the locale as a whole.
Check out what came with my order of comics! How cool is that?!
It's a little rough, but I'm not gonna complain. I paid $1 for it. And it's cool to just go back in time and see where all that kind of stuff was back then. They just don't make magazines this cool anymore.

That's pretty sweet. I've been wanting to watch the original Conan for a while.
This weekend while I was out getting paint for the kitchen, I stopped into Barnes and Noble to look around. I ended up walking out with these.
That Jurassic Park book looks sweet and I've never finished it. And since I can't find my paperback books of them, this serves two purposes.

Sadly the copy of Takenoko is missing all the objective cards, but I emailed the publisher and I assume they'll send those over to me.
So here's the collection right now: (http://i.imgur.com/RJSPg4r.jpg?1?4029)
I moved some stuff around since I was starting to not have space anymore, so there's some games out of the frame (and my abstract games are in a different place like the other picture).

I think I'm getting close to slowing down on this board game buying thing. Looking at my wishlist, there's very little left in my "must-have" section, and I'm planning on thinning out the rest of said list.
That said, my parents "gave" me 150$ for my birthday (see: made me pay less for rent) and told me to spend it on games instead. So I picked up:
Small World Trains Lords of Waterdeep: Scoundrels of Skullport expansion King of Tokyo limited time Halloween expansion Summoner Wars Phoenix Elves vs Tundra Orcs 2-player set (just to add to my master set)
Some pretty cool stuff.

Yeah I played Small World a couple times, it's pretty enjoyable, especially in repeated runs since you get different races. Eventually I'll grab some expansions, since I THINK they're all compatible.
If you like Small World, you should check out Evo (http://boardgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Evo-200x200.jpg). It's by the same designer. Sort of similar (area control) but it's rather brutal since every turn different spots on the board kill you just for being on them. And it uses an auction system to upgrade your dinosaurs (and of course a random set of upgrades every game for replayability).

Well, increased my board game collection some more. Recently I got Seasons, then a bit later I ordered from a new online store:
Wallenstein Once Upon a Time Seasons: Enchanted Kingdom (expansion for Seasons)
But more notably, I just picked up the hard-to-find Heroscape (Rise of the Valkyrie master set) for 10$. A bit of a hard game to find since Heroscape fans grab every master sets they can because that's what contain the most terrain tiles. The problem for new players (like me) is that master sets are hard to find, but you NEED a master set to play the game at all... so 10$ is a solid deal. Now to learn how it's played, and eventually spend millions of hours setting the game up (there's LOTS of stuff in this box :P).

Quite a few Magic, The Gathering cards.
Nature of the Beast from Commander 2013 Night of the Ninja and Chaos Reigns from Planechase 2012
And a good number of just cards. I work with a few people that play the game and have been getting back into it after about a 3 year hiatus.

How's that Yu Yu Hakusho movie? I really enjoy the TV series, but I never gave the movie a try.
Are you talking about Poltergeist Report? It's not bad. Not the same caliber as the T.V. series but it's worth a watch.

It's actually the golden seal "movie". "movie" being a loose term because it's more of a lost episode.It's not bad at all, but I'd wait for it to hit about $15 if you plan to pick it up Unless this series happens to be one of your favorite series then go ahead.

Not really a collection, but I just bought London Grammar's vinyl LP "If You Wait". A really nice band. They make chilled electronic music, with a powerful voice. Reminds me of some Portishead, without the "trip-hop" side.

Cool. One of the great series from 80s. Aliens (Alien 2) is my favorite. It was more of an action-movie than it was a horror movie, but it had such a cool look to it, great action scenes, and eye-popping special effects.
And I really liked Alien 3. I know everyone else didn't. And it wasn't as good as Aliens, sure. But I thought it was a still a fine Alien movie. Very intense and claustrophobic feeling. (And it certainly wasn't as bad as Alien: Resurrection.)
Have you seen Prometheus? It's not an Alien movie, per se, but it is connected to the series and set in the same universe. More sci-fi than it is horror or action. But it's a good sci-fi movie, if you like sci-fi movies.

I think they are all great in their own way. And yes I've seen Prometheus. I liked it, but was disappointed at how bad the lead character was as she's from Sweden as I am. I could just hear how bad she sounded when she was telling her backstory and tried using the english accent.

Went over the series I have and don't miss much, but they're hard to come by. Anyway I bought a few cards from auctions, aswell as something to put all my cards in. Before they were in a bag, heh.

I haven't posted much since I haven't been buying much... but here's my week's non-game finds:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-02-13b_zps115ea1f2.jpg) I picked those up yesterday for $3 total. Transformers has a bit of wear and tear on the artwork but the disc is pretty mint! I'm not a big fan of the show these days so it's going into the trade pile. Wasabi... well I saw the movie dubbed to Spanish a few years back and thought it was pretty hilarious. I'm a fan of Jean Reno so for a buck and a half I couldn't resist.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-02-12b_zpsf6ed2120.jpg) These are from Wednesday. I know.
The topmost three movies were a dollar each. I can't resist Pamela Anderson trying to act, and the other two movies... I have no idea what they are. But. They're A) Italian, B) have Greek subtitles (?!), C) are DVD-Rs, D) Look like bad VHS transfers, and most importantly - E) were made by a small outfit called "Cult Alley Theater" which specialized in releasing rare stuff like this. Nothing even resembling anything legal, of course - which makes them interesting. They seem to have gone out of business in late 2011. I browsed their catalog and they seem to have released some interesting stuff! Too bad there's little chance I'll ever see any of their releases again.
The botttom three films were $5 total. I bought Aeon Flux to replace my beat up, Fullscreen copy of the movie. I grabbed Live Free or Die Hard for the same reason... except I apparently own it already. Whoops! And City Hunter is by Tai Seng Entertainment, who seems to alternate between selling licensed and unlicensed films. I have a couple of their releases and I can't tell if they're legit or not.
And yes, this is the movie with Jackie Chan dressed as Chun Li.
So yeah! That's... about it.

I'm babysitting the cats right now, seriously. Today happens to be a 3-day weekend for me, so I'm home rather than at work. Painters came today and painted all our doors (I live in an apartment complex). So the door has to stay open for a little while for the paint to dry. My cats are indoor cats and we live by a busy road. In addition, one cat is a chemical freak in the sense of a druggie. She loves cleaning chemicals and such. So I have to keep her away from the door for that reason, and the other 2 away from the door so they don't run into the busy road.
Anyways, I'm sitting here bored, next to the door. Decided it would be cool to list my movie collection to see what everyone thought of it:

Rejoined the Disney video club tonight and ordered my initial shipment, so I will be getting the following blu-rays to add to my collection:
My Neighbor Totoro Howl's Moving Castle Secret World of Arrietty Whisper of the Heart The Little Mermaid Cinderella Peter Pan
Initial order was about $22 for all of those, which run about that much each when they're on sale. Now I have to buy two more at "club prices" in the next two years, but in all it comes out to about $9 per movie which is a killer deal.

I had a preorder of R.A. Salvatore's The Companions, The latest Drizzt book, come in in paperback.
Then splurged a little and bought a few books: B&N Leatherbound Classics: The Complete Sherlock Holmes
and original paperback releases of: R.A. Salvatore's Homeland: Dark Elf Trilogy Book 1 R.A. Salvatore's Sojourn: Dark Elf Trilogy Book 3
I'm glad I finally got these two, I have Book 2 and never got the others before they rereleased it with new covers. Plus they were like $3 a piece shipped, which is full of win. These give me an almost full paperback collection of the Drizzt series.

Not a huge toy collector anymore aside from a couple I really like, though if I had the money, I'd probably have a bajillion Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys lol

That's... interesting. A seller at a local flea market brought a box full of Star Wars figures about five months ago. He wanted five bucks per package. They didn't last a day, I'm sure one of the other resellers picked them up.
So here's my finds from the past two weeks:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-03-05.jpg) DVDs - $1 each Cake CD - $1
Funny thing, I'd been hunting for that Cake CD for the past five years or so. The bottom DVDs are all Troma-related, After Dark Thrillers was just a bunch of crappy movies and that last one has Traci Lords in it. You know. The former adult actress. She tried her luck at uh, normal cinema for a bit.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-03-12b.jpg) Citizen Kane - $1.50 Stephen King boxset - $2 Jim Henson boxset (Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Mirrormask) - $2 Meat Beat Manifesto CD - $1 War Anthology - $3

I just started into figure collecting a bit ago.... I love Tekken and realized I really like the Kotobukiya Bishoujo line and picked up a few.... This week I got Asuka rounding me out to 4 now.... They're a little pricey for the older ones though, so I still need Christie and Alisa.... Apparently Christie was the first and she's WAY too expensive online which sucks because she's literally my LEAST favorite female from the game, but I gotta catch em all you know....

Good trip to the Flea Market today. I wish I had brought more money with me, though. I only pulled out a $20 because I usually don't find much. But today, there was this guy with a ton of video games on all the major systems (NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, PS3, N64, GameCube, Xbox original & 360, Game Boy, DS, etc.) and systems. He said he'd be there every week, from now on. So it looks like I'll now be a flea market regular. So since I didn't have much money, I just bought cheapies from his $5 table today.
(http://oi60.tinypic.com/33e1ts4.jpg) Total = $20
And that comic was one I was looking for for a while now! 1st appearance of the "new" looks for Brainiac (robot-skeleton look), and Lex Luthor (Power-Suit Armor). Only a $1, and the bag and board was included!

I went to the supermarket that's close to where I buy stuff for the shop and my collection and noticed they had a shopping cart that said "All DVDs $1.50". Naturally I expected them to have a ton of old stock from back when they sold used and disc only DVDs at $5 (as they still do) but... they ended up being old stock from the bargain bin from last year, and then some.
I picked up a sealed DVD of EVIL DEAD (the remake from last year) for $1.50. I've currently got it loaded on my PC while I do some store work. I'm a big fan of the originals and I'm aware this version is a reimagining. So.

$5 for a movie I adored as a kid and haven't seen since!
Nice find at that one! I've been looking for that one for a while now and one day me and my step dasughter went into the pawn store and she found it, I was thrilled about it until she told me she had been looking for it also. :(

Just skimmed through 90snostalga's Superman: The Man Of Steel #1 and it was all right. Haven't been a fan of Superman since I was a kid, but still fantasizes from time to time what it's like to be the man who has everything.

Superman: The Man of Steel had the weakest creative team of the 4-main Superman books of the 90s. It was the last one to come out. The art really seemed sub-part in comparison.

Deciding if I want to get the full set eventually for Blu team.

I picked up 2 pairs of Jncos today. For the people that do not know, I have a massive Jnco jean collection. As of this time, I probably own nearly 30 different pairs of jeans and about a dozen pairs of shorts. I also bought me a pair of metallic blue Docs on Ebay. I used to have a pretty large Doc collection (about 20 pairs in almost every color in the rainbow) but I really cant remember where they all went. Im down to 4 pairs : Black steel toe boots, brown steel toe boots, b/w wing tips and brown wing tips.

I'm not like a huge toy collector, I have a few from TMNT, TF2, Halo, Pacific Rim and a few random others, just some personal interest stuff, but I came across these at the Salvation Army today for only 50 cents a piece and it hit me right in the nostalgia. These are 1995 McDonalds Disney figures, in boxes that represent the VHS movie clamshells they released in. I totally remembered having them and so did my sister. These 4 are the only ones I'm keeping, the other 4 which are Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Pocahontas, and Snow White, are being kept by my sister who remembers having the Cinderella and Snow White ones.
It seemed like they put a little more effort into these things back then as I also remember the amazing Burger King Pokemon promotion too that I think was around that same time.

Jim Lee took them and most of his other Wildstorm characters with him when he left Image and was hired at DC and kept publishing them through DC (but using the Wildstorm logo, still). They were completely separate from the main DC Universe, though, except the occasional crossover (JLA/WildC.A.T.s, Mr. Majestic/Superman, and Captain Atom/Wildstorm).
Then after New 52 happened, DC Comics lumped all of Jim Lee's Wildstorm characters into the main DC Universe and that's where they've been since. Martian Manhunter joined Stormwatch.

Yeah, Spartan has had some cameos here and there. Voodoo got her own book as well.... Grifter has had the most exposure with some crossovers and had his own book as well as a large roll in Team 7.... Zealot had a cameo or two as well if I recall and Warblade is in Ravagers.... Haven't spotted any Maul yet though.... Oh, and I think Void is around or something.... No one cares though....

Since it's been requested, my handheld collection. Not pictured is my pearl blue GBA SP, as it's the one I use primarily. Also my Animal Crossing 3DS XL and Ronalopolis' Zelda 3DS XL. The Atari Lynx and the Virtual Boy are both over with our consoles, as they are just a bit to big for these shelves. Every handheld in the picture cost me less than $20, except for one each of most of the Game Boy and DS models, as I bought one to play with when they came out. The only other exception is the Manchester United Game Boy, but since Ronalopolis is a huge soccer fan and his favorite England team is Man U, it was a no-brainer to grab that one. I do like to brag about my collection ;D, so feel free to ask questions.

That is one sexy handheld collection, I'm very envious. :) How exactly does one manage to get stuff like that for less than $20 each? Garage sales, flea markets, etc? The city I live in doesn't really have too much in the way of flea markets and other places to get older games really cheap. Most of the places I've found are retro game stores that overcharge for almost everything. Then again, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: amauriel on June 14, 2014, 07:52:15 am
A lot of being patient, mostly. I've been actively collecting these for more than 5 years, although it's been recently that I've gotten the shelves and started displaying them. To give you an idea, I had all the Game Boy Pocket colors except for green for quite a while. The day I walked into Half-Price Books and saw it there with the $15 price tag was a great one. Another is knowing what real serial numbers and models look like, then looking for incorrect listings on things like eBay. My extreme green Pocket was only about $10 (and free shipping!), and it was listed as "Transparent Yellow." I knew immediately which model it was and was the only one that bid on it.
I do hit up garage sales when I can, and I have parents who are retired and go garage sale-ing about every week. They call me when they find game stuff and they've landed me a couple. I also never drive by a Goodwill or Volunteers of America without stopping, just on the off-chance. My platinum GBA came from a Goodwill during a deal on everything in the store, so it and a couple games cost me $5. One of the first items we got was our Nomad, which we got from a flea market when the guy swore it didn't work. Ronalopolis asked what they'd take for it, he said $5 since it was broken, and we took it home, just to find that the adapter plug was a bit loose and that the contrast was turned completely to one side.
Another tip would actually be to check out the local used game stores. The one in my town doesn't price Game Boys any differently based on color, so even though the ice blue Pocket would usually be a bit pricier, they had it listed at $15 along with all the other Pockets. The manager at another game store near us has gotten to know us and knows what we collect, so when we walked in he immediately showed me to those two Pokemon Game Boy Colors. He had $35 each on them but after we'd grabbed another big item (the Ace Combat 6 flight stick) he knew he could get me for another $40 for selling them for $20 each and have a nice big sale at once.
I guess it really comes down to just keeping an eye out for what you want. Most of our handhelds felt like steals, but it's because I've put the time into researching the models, knowing their value, and I've just kept making it a point to be always looking, no matter where you go. I don't know how many weekend getaway trips have yielded old games, just because we've used Yelp to find local thrift stores on our way.

I can't believe you found them at a thrift store of all places. People that buy Children of Bodom are pretty specific on what they're looking for and what they like. It's not like someone going in a buying the latest Jay-Z album at any old store.

I got Hate Crew Deathroll and Are You Dead Yet?...I just happened to get there after they just put them out I think. Was hoping there was like a full collection there as I only have one or two albums, but this was good. Super surprised to find the Tenacious D one though as it was put in the dvd case cause it was a fancier thing with a thick book look almost.
Here's what it looks like. Really wish I got the pick though, I have the cheaper real pick that came with the regular cd release lol (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Tenacious-D-The-Pick-Of-Destiny-RARE-Deluxe-Edition-Box-Set-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/LnkAAMXQVT9SvqcK/$_35.JPG)

I need to get that and an official original toy line Leo as that one is actually one of the re-releases they put out a little bit ago.
That little Leo in the back right is the only original turtle I still have, which was from the late 90's I believe, where the turtles had cool clip on dragon armor, but I lost the armor lol
I still have all my original Turtles. Currently the Party Wagon is on top of my bookshelf in the living room along side the Lego version of their new vehicle (Shellraiser, I think). I really want to get each of the new Nickelodeon TMNT turtles and their new van to sit next to it.
Personally, I've always been a Raph guy.

The only turtles I have all four of right now is the 2003 line of them. I might decide to just get a full set of the Ninja Turtles stuff and the 2013 characters. I'd like the van too, just don't have the room for the big stuff lol

I got a bunch of Marvel Conan the Barbarian and What If? back-issues from Divide and Conquer on ComicCollectorLive.com. I also got the Wolverine vs. Sabretooth battle from Wolverine #89-90 (first ongoing), and fill-in here or there that I needed in my collection.
I've always wanted to get into the Conan stuff because I like the artwork and the movies. So I'm hoping it's good.
I just picked out ones with cool covers. Here's a couple of them. The second one is done by none other than Jim Lee! I never knew he worked on Conan until someone recently posted that cover on Facebook.
I got more than what's pictured below, just wanted to share a few covers from my order:

These are some turtle toys I really want to get. They are kinda silly (I mean, technically not as silly as some of the traditiona TMNT figures lol), but just something about how you can put armor on them is super cool. I have Leo and Mikey, just no armor for them anymore.

I'm not really a comic book collector, but I grab some when I come across a deal. I found a milk crate full of Hellblazer comics at a garage sale that was most of the issues between 50 and 180, with a few gaps in there. So just over 100 comics for $5.
And a free milk crate :)

I never usually get to post stuff in here for toys that I find, but I actually found something turtle related at the thrift shop! It's missing a few things like the pizzas it shoots out and any other accessories it had and a few stickers are a bit rough, but it was really cool to find something Turtle related at all.

These will go along nicely with my Superman and Spider-Man issues I recently got where they team up against Dr. Doom and Parasite (seen below). In the one above they team-up against Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor.
And go along nicely with my Spider-Man/Batman issue where Batman teams up with Spider-Man against Joker and Carnage (seen below). In the one above Batman teams-up with Spider-Man against Kingpin and Ra's Al Ghul.

Before I go watch the new movie (Expected the worst), I'm gonna watch the CGI movie and the original 3 live action ones, even if I don't like TMNT 3. I mean, I'm sure some forget this, but TMNT 3 is not a very good movie lol As awful as the turtles look with their weird hyper real shrekness, it still has the chance to be better than TMNT 3 lol

I don't think he really sounds like Woolie at all lol
I'm torn on it, I think the turtles physical appearance is just too weird, they should've had them be more turtle than human, megan fox is megan fox, and it sounds like they were more experiments than mistakes, but I actually kinda like their visual style for setting themselves apart beyond the colors and their interaction together as brothers sounded like it might be fine, though I'm still not happy with Johnny Knoxville as Leo lol. I think it's going to be a real mixed bag, but I'm going in for the worst, so if anything is alright, it'll make things okay.
Plus Turtles Forever might've given me a coupon for 8 bucks off the ticket price, which really helps lol

I wish it was still around, somewhere in driving distance. Just like video games, I prefer physical media format for my movies and CDs. And FYE used to be able to get you those hard to find bands that you can't get at Best Buy or Wal-Mart, and they were like in EVERY mall.

We had two practically right next to each other when I first moved down here about 6 years ago, but the one outside of the mall eventually closed up. I mostly like FYE for their used stuff since they have a reasonable selection of it and can be good for finding movies since most other places are pretty shitty for finding movies like Best Buy.

Turtles Forever came today, I watched it and loved every minute.
What's it about?
It's a crossover movie with the 2002 Ninja Turtles series and the original cartoon series, fighting together to take down both versions of Shredder. It's some good fun as it has all the old cheesy humor and 4th wall breaking stuff of the 80's show alongside the more serious action of that 2002 era Turtles.

There was no comics in my box this week. So I went to Barnes & Noble and picked this guy up, instead. I've picked it about 20 times and put it back on the shelf, so it's cool I finally got it. The reason I've done that so many times is because it has a $20 price tag, but it is really thick and has a lot of content. It also feels like a better quality paper and cover than your average magazine, too. So it's worth $20, I think.
I haven't actually read it yet, just wanted to share what I got on here.

There's actually a few albums coming up I'm looking to get, but with that leadup, I totally forgot that Accept's new albums was out this month and for the heck of it, I also grabbed Dragonforce's new album. Haven't listened to Blind Rage yet, but getting into DF's new album, it's not bad. I actually generally like their newer stuff with the new singer. It's still very similar, but they are mixing into some new ideas and most of their songs are under 5 minutes so at least they don't drag too long.
(http://i.imgur.com/4ZWw2lP.jpg)
I forgot that the new DragonForce album might have one of the best/worst covers for Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash lol
I'm no cover purist, I think covers are better when they interject more of the bands own style and maybe mix them up, but I can't tell if I feel they went too far or just right by making it a pure power metal song lol It makes for an epic power metal tune, but short of the lyrics and some small bits, it's almost unrecognizable.

I found a copy of Samhain's Unholy Passion today at a record shop for $10. Which is a pretty good deal as most Samhain stuff is out of print and usually goes for three times that online. For those who may be unaware Samhain was a band Danzig formed in between the Misfits and his solo career. As you can see I digitally blacked out the naughty bits in the photo as I'm not sure whether it would fly here if I posted it in it's full uncensored glory. ;D
Judas Priest Stained Class was $2.99 at a goodwill.
I also got Mercyful Fate's Into the Unkown and Rush's lasted album Clockwork Angels both from Amazon. I have no ideal why I waited two years to get Clockwork Angels I'm actually a huge Rush fan and have everything they've done and this album in particular is amazing. The best album they've have done since the 80's.

The VHS tapes are most likely even more censored. :P
And does anyone here like a little renaissance faire in their metal? I got the best of album ("Memories of a Time to Come", such a cool name for a best of album) by Blind Guardian, and one of their early albums:
Yello - One Second Vangelis - Portraits 4 películas cómicas y de aventuras con Chanoc Frontera de Mexicali Traficantes del Vicio (Sealed) City Dragon (Sealed)
All of these were a buck each. I'm pretty sure I already have that Vangelis album somewhere but it was in nice shape so I grabbed it.
And those DVDs were found at a booth owned by a guy I really don't like. That Chanoc DVD set? Well, I already had it, but the copy I owned had scratched discs and damaged artwork. This one's mint. The other two Mexican movies, well the first one supposedly takes place in my hometown so I had to grab it. The second one stars Mario Almada, one of Mexico's most famous B-movie action superstars (in some of his roles, he basically plays a badass everyman - think Charles Bronson in the first Death Wish film; in others, he's a police officer, or a drug lord... or worse, eheh). And I already owned City Dragon, but again, sealed copy. Better condition than my old one.
If you're curious about City Dragon, Obscurus Lupa reviewed it a while back. (http://blip.tv/OLPresents/citydragonfinished-5554714)

Just got Seconds in the mail today. It's a graphic novel written by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the same guy who wrote Scott Pilgrim. Of what I've read so far, I've been enjoying it. It comes in a nice hardcover format too.

And does anyone here like a little renaissance faire in their metal? I got the best of album ("Memories of a Time to Come", such a cool name for a best of album) by Blind Guardian, and one of their early albums:
Good picks there. Blind Guardian is indeed awesome. If you're just getting in to them check out Nightfall in Middle earth and Imaginations from the other side their best albums IMO. Also If you haven't checked out Demons and Wizards yet you definitely should. It's a side project between Blind Guardians lead singer Hansi Kürsch and Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth.
Seventh Son is my favorite Maiden album next to Somewhere in Time.

I daresay Demons and Wizards are even better than Blind Guardian, love them. But it's been far too long since the last album. I think they're a thing of the past, unfortunately. I can't say they're better than Iced Earth, though.

Dystopia is an awesome album, but after Plagues of Babylon, I think I'd be for some new Demon and Wizards lol Really wish Schaffer would let Stu add a little extra vocally to the albums. He's really one of my newer favorite singers after Into Eternity being amazing, but he's basically been shackled down to the Iced Earth sound and I think let Stu really go at it would freshen things up, especially after Plagues of Babylon being kinda "eh".

I can't wait for it to get here. The single-issue was a great read that really felt like a pulp story. They did a great job with the dialogue, the setting, and the artwork to get a real Pulp-y feel to it.
The Trade Paperback reprints the original 4-issue mini-series from 2009.

Can't wait for it to get here! We need more WCW DVDs like this from WWE!
I also dived head-first into Malibu's Ultraverse comics from the 90s for about a $1 a piece: (Anyone remember the short-lived Ultraforce cartoon on USA Network? It was around the same time as the Savage Dragon, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat cartoons.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Deluxe Edition. That is the Mexican release of the soundtrack CD. My friend found a cheap copy at a local Sears (yes, we have Sears in Mexico) and we thought it was a US import so I asked him to buy it for me. When he brought it over I noticed the "Made in Mexico" symbol in the back and well... there you go.

I knew BlockBuster is a big thing in Mexico but not Sears.
So in Mexico would Majesco Games be more legit than 1st print Games?

I actually found that last week, but left it behind since it was kinda beat up. I used to love that show but damn did the quality tank after season two.
Today's non-game finds:
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-10-01a.jpg) $1 each. Monty Python Sings is still sealed.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2014-10-01b.jpg) $1.50, $1, $2. About that last DVD well, Heidi was an anime that was fairly popular down here during the early 80s. This appears to be an unlicensed DVD of sorts from Mexico. It has a real Mexican address on the back and it's similar to another one with Saint Seiya episodes that I picked up a while back. It was just too weird to pass up so I grabbed it.
The Spirit is from the same booth where I got the Andy Sidaris sets last week. I went there in hopes of finding the two sets I was missing, but had no luck. The guy had ALL the Tomb Raider games for PS1, but he wanted four bucks each and they were kinda worn out so I left them behind.

^ After season 3 is when the quality tanked, IMO. FOX still had the show up until season 3. It was in season 4 that Sci-Fi channel picked up the show and the budget was slashed.
And the focus shifted from exploring alternate-realities to fighting the Cro-Mags.

So I went into town to pay our monthly bills and I stopped by a supermarket that's in that area to see if they had any cheapo DVDs. Well, they still did, sorta.
These are DVD+Bluray combo packs for The Raven and Chernobyl Diaries. They were priced at $39 MXN - which is about three dollars at current exchange values. I'd passed on the earlier DVD-only releases but couldn't pass up these ones since I'm thinking of buying a Bluray player sooner or later.

Five Mexican movies - four VHS tapes and one DVD. All sealed, $6 total ($1.25 per tape, $1 for the DVD.) The movies are:
Retén (Police Checkpoint) - Something about a group of elite, undefeatable cops. El día de las locas (there is no translation for this title that wouldn't make me auto-ban myself) - It's a comedy / suspense flick. Something about a guy killing women and a fat guy crossdressing to find him. I think. Las muertas de Juárez - A crime film based upon the Ciudad Juarez serial killings.
And these two films: Los leones del ring contra la cosa nostra (The Lions of the Ring vs La Cosa Nostra). Wrestlers vs Mafiosos, basically. El arma secreta (The Secret Weapon) - a man who claims to be a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein is creating the ultimate super cop.
God, I love these trashy flicks.
There were tons more but most were straight-up crime flicks and I don't really like those. I had to leave behind some films starring the Almada brothers. ;_;

Great comic stuff showed up at the thrift shop today. Lots of graphic novels and I would've grabbed a few more for the heck of it, but it was starting to add up as I started grabbing lol First are the HUGE Earth X and Universe X collections. 4 bucks a piece. Funny enough, the much thinner, but hardback Batman Incorporated was 5 lol Don't know if any of these stories are particularly great, but I don't buy single comics anymore just because it's too hard to keep up with everything, so I try to just grab graphic novels when I can. And at Goodwill, picked up Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children on DVD. Was surprised I didn't own it already. It's nothing GREAT, just fan service nonsense, but I still like it.

The only real similarities are that both take place in their respective universe's near-future, and that Alex Ross did art on both.
And I know how that just sounded. But in the world of super-hero comics, future stories and Alex Ross are both quite common.

Card shops might be the right ones for finding them as they don't seem to have them at like Walmart or Toys R Us that I saw today. I thought I saw that these were kinda selling out pretty quickly for shops to get them, so it might just depend if they can actually stock them. I'm probably gonna grab a starter kit for 15 bucks and some more packs. My collection addiction is coming back lol
And speaking of collections, time to add some red to my Leonardo collection with this new turtle. As Pixel Dan pointed out, the toy looks kinda cheap visually mostly cause the cross hatching added to it isn't a paint thing, but put into the mold itself, which body wise, is uniform across all the turtles, but I still kinda like it.

Yeah the original comics had them all basically indistinguishable visually other than their weapons and most of their stuff was black & white I believe, but when they had color it was red bandanas. When the 80's cartoon came out, you couldn't have a team of guys that all looked exactly the same, so they gave them colors and I believe their own personalities. I don't actually know much about the original comics other than the basics.

More card related stuff. Found these World of Warcraft TCG cards at a thrift shop. I was kinda wondering why it seemed like there were so many and in such good condition, meaning not likely just some kids pack of cards, but then looking online, these cards came with "Loot Cards" which gave codes for unique items in the game. Everything made sense then as there are no loot cards here, which means that someone bought a couple dozen packs of cards for the loot cards and then tossed these lol

I had that same uncertainty about them too, and they're honestly not bad. The first song that drew me to them was "Brick By Boring Brick" and I had seen the video for it on MTV (...yes, I know it's hard to believe that they still show music videos!...). Once you find yourself starting to like them, their songs kinda grow on you.

Title: Re: Recently Added to Other Collections
Post by: scott on December 10, 2014, 09:14:24 am
I'm digging the new stuff. Its not the same kind of music as what lostprophets played. Instead its got a bit of a post-punk, almost 80s feel to it. Lots of folks are saying its similar to Joy Division or The Cure.
Their new singer is solid too and has a good range. The singles didn't have any screaming in them. But he is from a post-hardcore punk band called Thursday and he has a screamo side project. So I'm sure he's able, if the track calls for it.
They are also adamant that they are a completely new band and refuse to play their old catalog of songs. Their old singer is in jail for the next 35 years for doing stuff to babies and kids... Apparently the band had no clue, cause they were living in the states and he was in England or something. And they now feel that they can't play their old stuff because he tainted it.

For me, and this is just my opinion, vinyl is more fun. I can turn everything else off in the house and just listen to a record. Radio and CDs, for some reason, are just something else in the background. In the summer, like to sit out on my deck with record going and drink a beer.
There's something about that pop and hiss that just makes the music better. It's like it demands attention. It may be part of the ritual of pulling that big bastard out of the sleeve, putting it on the turntable, and lowering the needle. I don't really know.
Another opinion of mine is coming, so stand back. Only things that were recorded for vinyl sound good on vinyl. I bought an Avenged Sevenfold vinyl thinking it would be awesome. It wasn't. I just doesn't sound right. The Doors, on the other hand, have a different feel on a record.
tl;dr I like vinyl. Classic rock is better that way.

Recently got this album. Thoughts so far - it's not quite as enjoyable as the previous two, but still good. This album is heavy on the ambiance and droning repetition of sound collages instead of being a rhythm and melody type of deal. So it's a bit different, but some surprisingly catchy numbers on here. I think I like the first half of the album better than the second half, which gets a little too spacey for me.
Been meaning to get a physical copy of this for years. I was sure FYE didn't carry it, that was until it showed up mysteriously in the clearance bin. ??? Great album, anyway.

I just picked up a bunch of 78s the other day, some nice Benny Goodmen recordings, there is smoothing about the sound of a 78. Sure its not the best audio quality, but the fuzz and over are sound to them i kind of like it. I also picked up a punk 7 inch disc limited edition 928/1500 box set some nice picture discs on a heavy grade 180gsm vinyl.

Yeah, the cover is ripped. But who cares? It's a Silver-Age Avengers issue for only $1! This is only my 2nd Silver-Age super-hero book. The other one is a 1966 Batman Annual that is completely missing the cover. (I used to have some 50s & 60s war comics, but I was never into those, so I gave them to someone that appreciated them more.)
Found it at this cool little shop I just discovered existed in my area that sells used games, movies, and comics. Not the best stuff there, but it's also pretty new and unheard of. If it gains traction, I'm sure it will get better merchandise.

It's the DVD finds of doom.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-02-23-25.jpg) Meet the Feebles is an unlicensed DVD release. The Descendants was technically sealed - no shrinkwrap, but the seal was still there.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-02-27b.jpg) From yesterday - both were $1. The one on the left has four horror flicks, the one on the left has two suspense films.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-02-27-28.jpg) I admit, I paid way too much for all of these. But they're all sealed. It's impossible to find these old Digiview DVDs in sealed condition nowadays. The seller had tons more available but he was being a jerk and was overcharging me for everything. His employee always asks for a buck - or less - per set...

With all the DBZ hype lately, such as the movie coming up and the new Dragon Ball tv show also in the works, my need for collecting DB stuff has returned (I totally need to get the movie collection action figures. I had Cooler and Vegeta at one point, but I regret getting rid of them lol). If you by chance have any of those movie collection figures for sale, I'm really interested. Loose is preferable. I'm not wanting display stuff as much these days and cheaper that way.
Picked this Trunks up at a local anime/japanese store cause it was actually reasonably priced at 25 bucks, though I'm wondering if that's a mistake. This thing goes from anywhere around 20 to 60 online lol I'd love to get the SSJ Vegeta and Goku statues to kinda match this.

Normally it feels like some of these little statues and such can look kinda poor when it comes to DBZ, but I was really liking the look they did for the energy and hair, which are both semi-see through, though the picture mostly only shows it in the energy wisps around him. Would probably be pretty cool to backlight this when I get moved into the new place to make it look like the hair is glowing lol

FYE put a bunch of things into clearance, usually it's junk from movie tie-ins or kids things, but I was surprised to see that the TF2 figures that had been there for awhile were put there. And at 50% off! 20 bucks for two high quality figures like this is great. I already Red & Blue Heavy, and Red Demoman, though his build quality isn't great and falls over too much to display. Really would love to get more of these. Would love to get the full team on both sides lol Really hoping Sniper is out soon as Heavy and Sniper were my main classes.

Too bad you dont live near me. I went to a garage sale on saturday. The people had a 2 car garage that was nearly filled floor to ceiling with nothing but books and they were in great shape too and they were selling them 50 cents a peice or 3 for a buck. You could obviously tell that they cared very deeply for them as you could ask them for a particular title and they would be able to find it. I got to talking with them and the only reason they were having the sale was to get rid of the doubles while lightening the load as they were just about to move to a larger house just for their collection.

So annoying, I got another character with a terrible loose foot joint, making it impossible to stand up the engineer. Same as it was for my red Demoman. Do they make affordable stands for this kind of stuff that could like hold them around the waist? I have like 6 of these guys now, but it's annoying when I can't put up two of them. Funny sidenote...Both of the problem figures are red figures. BLU FOR THE WIN!
And...Blue Demoman doesn't really stand too well either. I bought Blu Pyro and he works great, same for the 2 Heavies, though they are helped out by the minigun as support, but I feel like the legs for both Engineer and Demo suffer from loose joints and possibly just bad design. Maybe I can find some action figure stands to make them work.

Picked up the most recent Darkest Hour album. I have mixed feelings about it. They changed up their sound a lot, some of it I like and some I don't. It's actually not the poppy hooks I dislike, it's the heavier parts. Very little melodeath influence going on, and a whole lot more chug-a-chug that what they usually did. They of course threw in some of the ultra low tuned chugging that is so huge right now in metal, ugh. Also some of the screaming is too "core-roar". Henry should stick to his signature style of scream, that is part of what gives them their edge. It's still there, but used more sparingly. The clean singing is sometimes good, sometimes not so good. The super clean production I have mixed feelings about. I can however say that the lyrics are still well written. Definitely some good stuff on here, but I'll have to see if the album grows no me.
Also picked up Undoing Ruin finally. This album is fantastic, it is the album that first got me into them. It's a great listen from start to finish. It's the perfect balance between American metal and melodic death metal. So many high energy, catchy songs. Not too poppy, but not super heavy either.
Picked up the last season of KoQ that I needed. I can't remember which episodes were in this one, so not sure how it stacks up. But I do remember that this is a short season, for whatever reason.

Forgot today was the release of the new Star Wars toys and the only thing I really wanted was the Captain Phasma figure. Sadly I don't think there's a chance of getting the black series one, but while most good stuff was gone at Toys R Us and Walmart, Target was doing well with their toys, so I wandered in late in the afternoon and found the regular toy version. It's not as cool as the proper chrome the character actually has, but I like her. Hoping she turns out to be a good character in the new movie and isn't just running on "Boba Fett" hype lol

The latest album by Mr. Reznor proves to me that he still has it. This is a pretty good album overall. A minimalist and somewhat playful approach to his trademark industrial ballads. My top tracks on this right now are "copy of a" and "i would for you". Still got a lot more listening to do on this one.
I picked up Matriarch by Veil of Maya. These guys never disappoint. This stuff is catchy, unique and really at the top of the genre if you ask me. A lot of the hooks aren't exactly stellar, but I can live with them. Overall though, a great listen.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/The_Contortionist_-_Language.png) I've had Language by The Contortionist for a few weeks now. It's a grower, but I'm ready to admit it's no Exoplanet. These guys did Deathcore so well, and blended it seamlessly with melody. Now they've thrown everything out but melody. Perhaps too much melody. Some of the riffs are kind of aimless and long winded when they shouldn't be. The heavy parts sound half-hearted, and there's a lot of repetition. The phrase "ebb and flow" is used way too many times. The vocals are good, the drums are groovy, the atmosphere is pleasant. It's good, but doesn't quite measure up.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61tCYXO4BEL._SX300_.jpg) Deliver Us, another exceptional album in the library of Darkest Hour. The Devin Townsend era was really a peak for the band, even if I hate to admit it. These songs kick your ass and stay in your head all day long. The songwriting is brilliant. Every track is gripping, moody, heavy, melodic, everything that they need to be without overstaying their welcome. What else can I say? If you're a fan of melodic metal, you need to own this. One of the band's definitive albums.
(http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/a9a821b646281da65a8acf490acf8026/1980130.jpg) Carnavus by Silversun Pickups. Such a refreshing band they were when this album came out. Fuzzy guitar, shoegazing, strange harmonies, and odd lyrics. Love the production on this one. The songs were groovy as hell. A lot of people compare them to Smashing Pumpkins. I like Silversun Pickups better. Future Foe Scenerios, fantastic song. So many other great ones on here too. Impressive as a debut.
(http://rekwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/silversun-pickups-swoon.jpg) Swoon also by Silversun Pickups. Swoon is a lot like Carnavus but even better. Great songwriting, creepy vibes, and oh man, this guy knows how to write some of the catchiest hooks. This album is fantastic. Highly recommended if you like alternative. The definitive album, if you ask me.
(http://www.rockcellarmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/silversun-pickups-better-nature-album-art-300x300.jpg) Better Nature, the most recent Silversun Pickups release. Er... man, I wanted to like this one. The sad reality is I can't, I just don't like it that much. They're going far too 80s synth pop for my tastes. I can't really get into any of the songs, I was really disappointed with this one. Maybe it'll grown some on me, but right now I'm feeling pretty revolted by it. They have the potential for far better than this kind of stuff.

Oh man, this was soooo good. One of the best comics I've read in a while. Fantastic sci-fi writing, with social themes, and some amazing-looking artwork that was pretty realistic looking. Great Elseworlds tale!
I haven't had a comic keep this glued from beginning to end for a while. If you're a sci-fi fan, and a Superman fan, you CAN'T miss this one!
Long story synopsis:
In the story, Superman is a human, born to Martha and Jonathan Kent. The Earth, however, is in it's last days because of a massive meteorite that is on a collision course with Earth. Jonathan Kent is a top scientist in this world and is the only one that is trying to inform the public about it, while the world's governments are knee-deep in the Cold War of the 1960s. So Jonathan funnels funding money and uses it to build a rocket for Clark to survive in. That rocket finds it's way to Krypton, via a wormhole, and lands near the home of Jor-El.
Now this is where it gets good. Jor-El is a scientist is a scientist with a spark of adventure to him. The rest of Krypton has become islationist, sterile, and overly-cautious of anything outside of their personal little bubble. But Jor-El secretly takes the child, and raises as his own. He builds and a special environment where Kal-El can adjust to Krypton's atmosphere and gravity, and he raises him as his own.
Soon Kal-El gets his own sense of adventure and goes out to find out what happened to the ancient Krypton civilization, since no one else on the planet seems to care. In the meantime, a "green death" is creeping across the planet, killing Kryptonian with radiation poisoning, in a time when death is a rarity in Kryptonian society. In his explorations of the planet, Kal-El come across the corpse of a long-dead Green Lantern, and is chosen as the next Green Lantern of Krypton's space-sector. The energies of the Power Battery awaken long dormant and forgotten memories of his time as an infant on Earth. This leads Kal-El to go to his father and question his origins. Jor-El reveals the truth to him and tells him the only reason he never told him, is because he loved him as his own son and wanted to raise him on Krypton without the xenophobic attitudes of their society. Jor-El then tells him of the problems of the "green death", which Kal-El didn't realize because he was exploring. He then uses his newfound GL powers to make control rods (like in a nuclear plant) and launches them into the core of the planet, saving Krypton.
After that act, he uses his ring to travel to Earth. He finds that there is a pocket of humanity surviving in harsh conditions. And it is led by none other than Lex Luthor, who rules as a tyrant. There is a small pocket of rebels refusing to join him. Luthor soon starts to launch an attack against him. At this point, Kal-El as seen enough and puts a stop to it. Lex soon gets a hold of Kal-El's Power Battery and Ring. This leads Kal to discover that he has the powers of a "Super-Man" on Earth, due to be adjusted to Krypton's environment. He uses them to take out Luthor and his army, and re-acquire his ring and battery. He vows to stay and help the suviving humanity. This leads the Guardians to strip him of his Ring and Battery, though, as it makes him derelict to his duties in space. Which all sets-up for a new Superman to lead humanity to future on this harsh Earth.
So, anyone have any other Steve Gerber recommendations for me? Because I REALLY liked this.

Been amassing an enormous Star Wars collection. Particularly cool to me are the comics. I haven't read Star Wars comics in years, since the end of the first Marvel era. Now that the franchise is back in Marvel's hands, the first thing I did was pick up the three Omnibus volumes that cover all of the original 107 issue Marvel run as well as annuals, specials and other stuff. They are absolutely HUGE. Each book is well over 1000 pages. I next picked up the three hardcover books that reprint the Return of the Jedi Mini-series as well as the the particular issues of the main series that covered A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Then, picked up all the trade paperbacks for the current Marvel books.
And I have to say, the art and writing in these new books is superb. While I loved the original Marvel series, the art was pretty rough and today, it's hard to look at. I think that with Disney owning both Star Wars and Marvel now, they insisted on top writers and artists working on the new books. I don't really have an interest in trying to buy individual issues these days as I sold my comic collection off years ago and the only comic shop within 60 miles is ran by a creep who ogles young girls, but I will continue to order the trade paperbacks as they come along.

I recently got "His Name Was Jason", and apparently I should have ordered this one instead. I just learned of it, and immediately ordered it, waiting on it to arrive, now.
Apparently it's made by the same people that made "Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy", which was a freaking excellent documentary on the Elm Street series. This is supposed to give the same treatment to the Friday the 13th Series. 7 hours long! I'm looking forward to it!
Should be better than the "His Name Was Jason" one. That one was all over the place, and couldn't stay on track. And it was more like a bunch of quick comments on stuff from people, like VH1's pop-up video. Wasn't impressed with it.

I just come back from the Japan Touch & Geek Touch, a french expo based on manga, games and anime (and everything that come from japan, clothes and food too), a small but great expo, there is no chance that i won't go back to it next year.
At first i thought i was not going to buy much, sure i found two new anime series (well... new for me at least since i never seen them before, it's Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water & Gankutsuou) and a awesome poster on Okami (great colors and the quality of the paper is great too) but i couldn't find much more (i don't really loose my time on the overpriced consoles and games, i've seen the price for the Neo Geo it was enough for me) but that was until i've found a small stand with hundreds of game & anime OST (and the prices was good too, each cd was at 5€ and they're still new & sealed), it was the paradise for me, i got 4 new .Hack// (Extra Soundtrack, Character Song & Story, Game Music Perfect Collection and Liminality Original Sountrack, i now own 11 OST from that series), 2 on Star Ocean Till the End of Time (one on the first version and one on the Director's Cut version), a Valkyrie Profile 2, Eternal Arcadia, The Legend of Dragoon, Radiata Stories, a arrangement album on Star Ocean & Valkyrie Profile and probably the best one for me the 4 CD Original Soundtrack from Suikoden V 8)

It was a very 90's day today. I was actually on the lookout for the RHCP album, realizing I had never listened to any of their albums. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is pretty great.

Woo-Hoo! Recently added a few Star Wars items!
Lucasfilm Fan Club #6: The only issue I was missing! Basically, the Star Wars Insider Magazine started with issue #23. Prior to that, it was Lucasfilm Fan Club. Think how Thor was initially called Journey Into Mystery. So happy to finally complete the collection!
Star Wars Elite Series FN-2187: The newest addition to the Disney Store exclusive die cast figure series, FN-2187 is Finn in a Stormtrooper outfit with removable helmet. I've snagged every one of these figures so far and I believe this is #17. :o
Star Wars Aftermath - Life Debt hardcover novel: The newest novel, will be here Thursday courtesy of Amazon!
Smuggler's Bounty Jabba's Palace box: Will be here today (Wednesday)! I've seen the contents. It includes a Jabba the Hut ceramic mug, R2-D2 as a server on Jabba's barge, baseball cap, pin and patch. I don't think this one comes with a t-shirt, so the hat is a nice change.

Got a few goodies today on sale which was nice. FYE has buy 1 get 1 50%, so I got Reaper half off and got myself Godzilla. Also found this horribly mangled Battle Damaged Gypsy Danger, which was torn to pieces and in backwards, as apparently someone tried to steal it and all they had seemed to be a jagged rock to slice it open with lol But not only was it on clearance, but because the packaging was such a mess, they even knocked off another 15%, so it's like over half off.
Not particularly into the Pop figures, usually only if it's a property I like and more often than not needs to not have the same default face, so masked or helmeted figures are a big plus.

This past Sunday I went nuts because MC Donalds started to give the toys of the The Powerpuff Girls with the purchase of each Happy Meal and since my daughter is mega fanatic of this cartoon had to search at very damn location to complete the set, dunno why the hell they don't have all the girls at one point/store neither why they don't have enough stock of them, spend a lot of gasoline going through here to there but seeing her smile when she finally found the last one was priceless.

New pick-ups for the music collection.
The new Metallica album is excellent so far (I've only listened to the 1st of 2 discs) and feels like the real Metallica I remember, not the garbage that was the last couple of albums.
The Scorpions one is the last Scorpions album I needed to complete the set!

Would love to add this 2DS to my collection but the true is that yesterday was my daughter's birthday and I gave her first console as a gift, am talking about the one with the Mario Kart 7 included, glad that this one it's compatible with the DS cause she is also playing Yoshi's Island DS, will purchase her a couple of games and maybe if I got a chance will purchase some titles for me, well if she allows me to use it cause she practically sleep with it :o

Check out this beauty of a machine I came across in Goodwill today. Everything works perfectly, and believe it or not, it still had the remote (at Goodwill!). Only $25.
It supports everything I'll ever need - HDMI, component, composite, S-video, RF, and USB. It records (and plays) digitally, to a DVD, or to a VHS. It even has an SD-card slot. Best part: It upscales it all to 1080!
This was a great find. I only went in there to look around because I had no comics in my pull-box at the local comic shop this week.

Yesterday i was at the same expo that i was in april (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,1824.msg113039.html#msg113039) and again i came back home with a few OST and other stuff :
Starting with the games OST, i've got Baten Kaitos, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Chaos Legion, Orphen, Radiata Stories (arrange album), Saga Frontier II, Star Ocean, Star Ocean The Second Story, Star Ocean Till the End of Time (Voice Mix Album), Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Legendia, Unlimited Saga and i have also got two anime OST : Ergo Proxy (Opus 1) and Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma (aka Emma: A Victorian Romance).
The other stuff i've got was the knife from Alice Madness Returns (the Vorpal Blade), two small posters of Alice (to go with the knife) and Princess Mononoke, a big laminated poster from the Assassin's Creed movie and four badges from a new french action/rpg game called Shogun no Kamigami (https://www.facebook.com/pg/ShogunNoKamigami/about/?ref=page_internal) (it's still in development, two computer were available if we wanted to play at the first demo but since everyone wanted to test it i didn't get a chance... but i did have the chance, and the pleasure, to talk with the developers 8), i think they wait and do expo like this one to let their game get know before going toward the crowdfunding option to be able to finish it, anyway it's seemed to be pretty fun to play and i really hope they will come back to the next expo in April so i can... maybe... have a chance to play it this time ;D).

I have somewhat started collecting M.A.S.K. toys. I pulled Bunker Hill out of the garage and ordered some of the missing parts. So now it is only missing the hoses and the figure. Also fixed up the Mini Van (Slingshot) so it would open and close properly. I just need the little bomb and figure to complete it. I don't know why i am going down this path, I hardly have any room for what I got now...

Christmas was a pile of geeky and Japanesey, so got a few fun goodies.

*EDIT*
Frieza actually turned out to be a pretty great build. The last model I did was a small Gundam Deathscythe, which wasn't particularly great, but this one looks real good and poses pretty well. It sadly doesn't come with a legit stand, but the one that is more used for the energy balls can be used if you tape the stand to the shelf. Quite happy with it. I really need to grab the others as this is a good way to get DBZ figures that don't cost 50 bucks and more.

Got another Figure Rise kit and I'm really digging these. There's plenty of articulation, few different looks and hands, and while they aren't Figuart quality, I think they are really solid for the price. I'm actually looking to get more now if I can afford them and since I got this classic duo, my next plan is to get Cell and SS2 Gohan. There's also SS3 Goku and Buu, but not sure about those. Was never the biggest fan of SS3 or Buu. There's also a Vegeta Saiyan Pod one that is more of just a statue, but its awesome, and there's a classic Frieza in his flying pod thing that'll be coming out later this year that I might get, though both of those are much more expensive than the regular model kits, nearly twice as much.
Kinda interested in trying out some detailing on these figures with black washes and such to make the figure pop a little more.

Nice. :D
I always wanted that comic as a kid but I never realized back then that it was in Treasury format (which is about 4x the size of a normal comic book). I did eventually end up getting in a trade called Crossover Classics which also includes the 2nd Superman/Spider-Man pairing, Batman/Hulk and X-Men/Teen Titans. :)

The 2nd Spider-Man/Superman is actually the better story of the two, even though it's worth far less. They team-up against Dr. Doom and Parasite.

Once again (like every April and December) i visited an expo i like to call "The Paradise of OST" since there is a seller inside who sell a LOT of them at a very good price and once again i've come back with a few things in my bag (but sadly no OST from the .hack or Star Ocean series to complete my collection):
DVD Street Fighter II (the new box for the full series from 1995, i didn't even know they finally released it)
OST Arc the Lad Generation (OST) Brain Powerd (OST 2) Dragon Quest I-II (GAME-002) Dragon Quest Swords (OST) Onimusha Buraiden (OST) Lost Universe (OST) Lunar Songs 2 (it's from the Lunar Series and that is all i know since i'm not really familiar with it) Sa.Ga (i don't read japanese but it seems to be a 2 CD compilation for the 3 first games) Shadow Hearts ("near death experience", an arrange tracks from the three games) Shadow Hearts From the New World (OST) Tales of the Tempest (OST)
Everything seems to be new & sealed except for the Lost Universe OST.

One of the other things I collect is electronics and movies. I'm not sure how many movies I have but I know I have near or over 1000 VHS for example. In recent months, there has been a lot of LaserDiscs popping up, I'm not sure why.
First it was a pawn shop I never been to before, and they had a bunch of them for $4 each. They also had 2 players and a Betamax which I am thinking of picking up at some point. I ended up getting these 4 LDs: (http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss236/tpx_bst/20170123_191022_zps9jjyh4xh.jpg)
The LD player I had at the time was the Pioneer CLD-V2600 but without a remote. Recently I decided to make up a list of the tech products I want to get (eventually) and to start buying some of the things I needed, starting with the cheap stuff. The issue with the CLD-V2600 is that it is a single side play deck and the unit I had would continuously repeat sides. I knew I needed the remote, only to disable this function. I believe I had posted this before but since the CLD-V2600 is an industrial player, it has a remote that is unlike what you normally see with CE. (http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss236/tpx_bst/20170320_112623_zpsbwej9kkj.jpg)
The timeline is weird here. I think it was 3 days prior to this remote coming in the mail, I went about and bought one of the LD players at the pawn shop. The Panasonic LX-H670 which supports both sides play. In the terms of LD players, I rank them as such: 1. Single side play 2. Both sides play/auto-reverse 3. Both sides play with AC3RF 4. LD/DVD combo
So I went from a #1 to a #2. I also picked up a "Ray Disc" player, which is one with component out that I have hooked up to my dedicated 4:3 setup. This BD player now also will perform DVD and VCD playback. The previous device was a DVD recorder, sans remote and has some weird quirks like always enabling subtitles. (http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss236/tpx_bst/Mobile%20Uploads/20170401_163555_zpsy6tff8ze.jpg)
And then just Saturday, someone posted an ad to Facebook for an estate sale advertising 1,500 Laserdiscs! I went on day two and got just over a dozen, with the highlights being these: (http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss236/tpx_bst/20170422_130417_zpsoip2jenp.jpg)

Got my copies of Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 today! Loved both of these! I also added Captain America: Civil War to the Marvel collection (which was essentially Avengers 3, not sure why it was considered a standalone Cap movie).
I just need Doctor Strange and Ant-Man, now.
Remember when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just 4 hero movies and The Avengers? Now it's almost like collecting comics to get all the Marvel flicks.
