Godzilla DVD Re-Releases Take 2

I was able to swipe FCTW for around $12 on Amazon a few months ago. It must have been the stash Baltan II was speaking of.

Hearing about these prices makes the capitalist in me want to sell these DVDs since I am currently hard up for money. However the Tokusatsu fan in me wants to be the crap out of the other part of me. I <3 the legendary asskicking that is Atragon.

Why wouldn't they be paying that much? If you're collecting the films, and a certain one is OOP and over $100 for say, a year, eventually you might break down and pay it. Personally, I set thresholds for myself and buy whenever some poor seller unknowingly or mistakenly sets a price dramatically lower. The Gunbuster DVD set was $60 - $160 for a long period of time, but I managed to secure one from a UK seller for $16.99 last month. Conversely, I've successfully sold things like DVDs, the Godzilla Compendium and Steve Ryfle's book for well over $100. It's supply and demand, and cult movie lovers have large disposable incomes (or they think they do, and all of their children are shoeless).

What I truly find baffling is the fact so many people didn't bother to pick up the Sony and Media Blaster discs when they were first released. I made that a priority for the G flicks but I picked up some of the MB discs later on but while they were still in print so I didn't have to pay the ridiculously high prices they're charging for them now. It's simple: upon the release date - pick it up ASAP, support the product you love, and you don't have to worry about paying the prices people are charging when the discs go out of print.

I didn't get some of the non-Godzilla stuff: Space Amoeba and Latitude Zero specifically, but that was because I'd never seen them and the idea of dropping money on movies I'd never seen when I was a poor college kid not really working was not one I entertained thoroughly.

but I got all the Godzilla discs because I knew I liked the movies and at the time they were actually BY FAR the BEST Godzilla home video releases in existence.

I think in 2005 i still had a VCR attached my television, and hadn't felt the need to double dip on Godzilla DVDs that i already had on VHS.

Oddly enough, the day before the announcement, i had finally found a copy of Ebirah on DVD for under $20... so i kind of face palmed when the announcement came out... only to get an email from the seller that they had underestimated the demand and refunded my money

In any case , it is exciting to know when no less than four Godzilla movies coming out on Blu-ray in the next four months.

Well, all I can say is that it's supremely arrogant to think that just because YOU were able to purchase these means that others were and just had other priorities.

At one point in my life, I was showering with my clothes on because I couldn't afford coin-op laundry living in a stankhole that had a rodent problem, with burns in the carpets from the previous crackhead residents.

Things are definitely different for me now, but excuse me for opting to pay the electric bill instead of getting a movie about an evil space amoeba possessing various giant creatures. Guess I just had my priorities screwed up.
