I don't have True Detective on BD yet, so I've been thinking about picking it up. 35$ for the first season isn't bad at all, that's around where the HBO set is hovering.

Went in on a group buy on another forum. Those are exclusives from Mondo.

Luckily, I hadn't bought it yet. There was a Cartwheel 10% off coupon, although I'm not sure it's still live. That plus my RedCard discount made it palatable.

For me this week I picked up,

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to get F/X which released this week at a reasonable price.

Personally I like the UK Steelbook for Pan as it uses some alternate Drew Struzan art (that isn't another boring head collage for a change).
Spoiler:


It's also supposed to have a slightly superior encode to the US release. It's locked to R:B though.

Put in an order today for


and then picked up this from B&N

Apparently the U.S. BD of Pan is DNRed to hell, but the U.K. Version with a better transfer misses extras from the U.S. Version.

I have the French collector's box from France - that's my preferred version. It's on HD-DVD, too.

I believe all are Canada except the recent True Detective and the upcoming Flash Gordon.

I'll never be without one again- and hopefully it will always be an Oppo. I upgraded my projector last year. And while I'm extremely happy and satisfied with that new one, the region modded Oppo that I picked up a few months earlier was- hands down- the best HT tweak I could have ever made.

And yeah, that was a great price- and even cheaper when you deduct the VAT. The averaged out cost for each title after shipping and conversion came to $16.

Target is also getting Shaun of the Dead and John Carpenter's The Thing on the same day as Flash Gordon (July 28). I went ahead and put SOTD on preorder but not Thing since I already own the US BD and I've been told that the UK release is better.

Torchur, I would love to see a pic of your shelves or however else you store your collection.
As daunting as the money outlay must be, what I really can't wrap my head around is how much space all these must take up.
