Re: MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
Speaking of MVD, there is a 50% off sale on them going on at Family Video. MVD has more or less told me they don't plan discounting their Rewind Collections beyond that level.

Re: MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
Didn't take them long to get into the studio catalogs, it seems, even if most of those are lesser titles with what appear to be recycled supplements. Maybe they'll work their way up to some real gems, assuming there's any left?

Re: MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
FYI, only Bright Lights is the Rewind Collection, the others are in their Marquee Collection which aren't the full on "collector's edition" like the Rewind Collection
I've been keeping a list of all the various collection titles on Wikipedia |
