I know I keep saying the same thing, but how can "they" (the industry in general) keep telling us that physical media is dead & raise the price through the ceiling in the same breath? I'm NOT blaming Hamilton, like any sane retailer they set a markup % over wholesale & stick with it. I am 100% blaming the manufacturers & wholesalers.

There are a bunch of price drops this month too. I'm looking at Flight to Mars and Hercules and the Captive Women in particular.

The pricier titles at Hamilton are almost always boutique releases, and I wouldn't expect such niche titles to go for bargain prices when the market is so small. But for physical media, I'd expect an inelastic curve. People who've moved on from physical media aren't coming back, no matter how low the prices are. If the market's small, if lowering prices won't garner a substantially bigger audience, and if what little an audience is left is passionate enough to keep paying for it, I mean, it makes sense. I sure wouldn't mind if things cost less, but...

Thanks, but if it wasn't for Covid, I'd pick up for instance "Return Of The Vampire" at a pawn sop for $1.50 instead of $15 on the net!

I'm sure I got my DVD brand new for well under $10.

I would assume that because less people are buying, they need to keep the prices up to keep a profit. The prices are not terrible, but I picked up some of these from Dollar Tree.
HB also cleaned up their wishlist section. It looks muuuuch better. You can see the dvd images on your wishlists for the last month or two and it sorts better. I might pick up some from my wishlist that I forgot about.

Last time I was at a pawn shop (my main source before Covid) blu-ray's (all of them) had dropped from $8 ea to $1.50 ea.

Woah. They have some of the 88 Films US releases for cheaper than anywhere else. Some nice price cuts too.

Nothing for me this time around all though I did see a few that I might be interested in, which is okay as I spent a small fortune last month on movies and books from HB.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA: Season One, Volume One - DVD $7 also Vol. 2 is $7

BLINDSPOT: The Complete First Season - DVD $6

Does anyone know if the Shout Factory Return Of The Vampire blu is much of an upgrade over the Columbia dvd? Hamilton has the lowest price I've seen at $15 + tax & shipping, but that still seems high for a film that was inexpensive & easy to find on dvd.

Seeing Wolf Creek 2, which is an awesome sequel, reminds me to find out if the first Wolf Creek ever made it out on BD in a legitimate North American release. The television mini-series should also be put out.

^As far as I know, it never did, which is a shame.

Was thinking about that Space: 1999 set. Looks nice but I have no idea if I would really want to own the show. May stream a few episodes to see. One of those shows from that era that I never watched.

That Space: 1999 set is also available from GRUV for the same price *and* there's a 20% off code ( SIGNUP20 ) plus free shipping. You'll pay sales tax at both.

I'm interested in the extended Hobbit cuts in 3D, but it's disappointing that they don't have all three. Decisions, decisions.

Legendary Weapons of China is fantastic kung fu from Shaw Brothers. An absolutely essential purchase. Glorious, gravity-defying acrobatics with one of the better stories in a Shaw Brothers' flick.

Monkey Kung Fu is absolutely top-notch Shaw Brothers. There's an opening scene inside a jail which has to be seen to be believed. Incredible kung fu gymnastics and acrobatics without CGI.

I am starting to learn that just because a film is hard to find and is on Olive doesn't mean it isn't garbage. I just watched 2 of the worst films in my life (both Olive): The Delinquents & Guest Wife. My Hamilton Olive Blind buys have been about 50/50 (good/awful).
