One regret for me, is not waiting till the price drops to pick up specific titles. There are alot of titles that I've picked up on release date, that I didn't watch right away. I should have just waited till the price drop or a sale to pick them up and use that saved money on other titles.
@@sbccave4015 yeah I have the zavvi premium edition for twister got the salems lot 4 pack mediabook set its cool but fml 300 could have got so much for that
Awesome video Tim! Twilight Time is my biggest regret too. Ugh…they were so cheap and now they are insanely expensive. Like you I started seriously collecting when they were closing up shop. I have recently picked up a couple on eBay. Again, great video idea!
Thankfully, I haven’t encountered too many of the regrets you have. My one regret, however, is that I haven’t gone region free yet. That’s on the agenda for this year: purchasing a region free BluRay player-mainly because there have been a few movies released on Region B that I would like to have. But I haven’t gotten rid of any of my movies unless I have replaced it with a BluRay or 4K. And I have never bought into the hype of anything-mainly because I have tended to find that I usually have not been impressed with something others have hyped. And you won’t catch me blind buying a movie simply because of the label releasing it. Although I have blind bought movies based on a particular actor or director that I have later regretted…
Selling something off and then buying it back I have never done because I can't bring myself to get rid of any movies The only time i have gotten rid of a movie is if I had it on DVD and upgraded the movie to Blu Ray or 4K
Regrets: selling most of my CD collection in the late 90's & early 2000's, blind-buying some Vinegar Syndrome titles, and getting a Sony X700 instead of the Panasonic player.
@@OldMan_PJ oh, I sold my CD collection too in the early 2000s, was a 'poor student', needed money, and now it's hard buying some of them back, some 90's CDs that I had have gotten expensive and rare
Great topic Tim 👍 I got rid of a bunch dvds I thought I’d never watch again a few years back and now I find myself buying them again now 😄 I don’t see them umds much in the wild. Palm Springs is a brilliant movie, I really enjoy it.
I don’t really have regrets with the media itself because any of the titles that suck I can resell at some point. One regret that I do have is not keeping up with display and storage needs for said media. There’s only so much room that I have, so I bought a bunch of Tarifold boxes and sleeves to compress the collection a bit for display purposes. The amount of space saved and reclaimed is amazing.
I didn’t even know about a lot of the boutique labels until I met you guys. Happy I found out about kino lorber from you guys tho got a lot of good movies from them!
Definitely FOMO on many releases because I think they’ll sell out of go pop but also talking myself out of the hype and then missing out on limited editions so it’s a tough two way street.
Haha sorry glasses are a pain to deal with lighting for. Trying to fix it, but I need just that right angle to still provide the light and not show in the glasses.
@@timtalkstalkies not that it's important, but I hear 'professionals' use some sort of white pane over the light to diffuse it, and it doesn't reflect like that, I guess
I regret getting certain box sets that don't display well for me. The Evil Dead Groovy 4K collection is such an example. I got it because when I did, it was cheaper than buying the movies and show separately, but they don't have Army of Darkness, so I had to buy that separately. I'm not big on displaying stuff. I prefer stuff just on shelves way more than fooling with display cases and such.
Great video Tim ! The multi-region thing is essential I think, although I had a multi-region DVD player back in the day, I only recently got hold of a mult-region Blu-ray player...and it's opened up a lot of doors ! It's something I also should have done a while back (and coincidentally a movie I've wanted to own on Blu-ray for ages but could never play before just arrived today...the US Criterion of "Ghost World" ! hoorah !). I've never sold stuff that I later regretted but I have given stuff away several times (for various reasons) and later wished I hadn't 😞I've also missed out on some Blu-rays I knew I wanted as I waited too long and then when I went after them found they were OOP 😞In some cases the movies I was after eventually got a re-release (or new edition on a different label) but in others I'm still waiting/hoping...I really wish I'd picked up the French Blu-ray of 1997 "Le Bossu/On Guard" for example as it's now been OOP for ages it seems (I'm stuck with a very poor quality DVD). That Indiana Jones set you have is shocking 😞I did manage to skip that one even though I desperately wanted the first three movies...I waited to get them on individual 4K slip versions in the end (but I'd be very happy with those individual steel books too !). I have bought two blu-ray sets "unseen" (I very rarely do blind buys) and part of the reason I haven't watched them yet is I think there may be a good chance I'll regret having bought them ;-) We shall see ! 🙂
Making mistakes and having regrets is part of being human...as long as you learned something from it then it wasn't a total loss and that in itself is something that can help you move on and not dwell on it or beat yourself up about it too much.
the only arrow titles I own is the Phantasm complete movies boxset and The 4K limited edition 4K of Robin hood prince of thieves which I bough for the wife as she loves that film
I have the Blu-ray and I think that's good enough.That movie is pure nostalgia for me.. it reminds me of my 20s. It s a low-key movie about people hanging out at the mall but there are some crazy moments especially that ending.
I regret not discovering film noir until a couple years ago … missed out on the first 2 Columbia Noir boxsets from Indicator (I did buy the standard editions). There are so many titles I have yet to see … exciting and a bit daunting at the same time.
I think he's only talking about DVD and Blu-ray. I think I've seen them for 150 on eBay. I personally like to play all my movies on every player. So I try to find Free versions.
Region free Blu-ray players can be had for $90-120 ballpark. Check out 220Electronics. There is a cheap Sony one on there now for $105 and they have sales that pull go lower as well.
I’m talking Blu-ray players though not 4k players. 99% of 4k discs are already region free so I just buy a standard Blu-ray player that’s region free. No need for the 4k player to be region free.
Great video. Chaos Walking wasn’t a great movie (to me). Yea Vinegar Syndrome has great slipcovers (some of the best), but the movie selections are ehhhh collectively. They still have done some amazing work though. If I had a regret, it would have been in the very beginning buying DVDs when the Blu Ray counterpart was out but I didn’t really know that or an import set that was just not worth the money.
Don't get rid of anything you love just because Is old tech. Now had to get rid of cases so to moving across the country and I was young but I never plan to be in that position. But I do plan on getting rid of fluff that I don't love. Now vinegar syndrome has some gems. I always recommend watching on Tubi first. I do have some blind buys. Sometimes I just know I'm going to love a film.
Tim of 2024 does sell anything anymore, but Tim of 2007 wasn’t so bright. I was a 19-20 when Blu-ray and HD-DVD started and let’s just say lots of people that age are dumb. I made a misjudgment and sold off my entire DVD collection once the HD formats starts. Like I said it’s a regret haha.
@@timtalkstalkies I did this 5 years ago except with the intent to upgrade to 4k & blu ray. I'm in the process of tracking down a tv show on blu-ray, but it's mad expensive and hard to find.
I sold off 3 dvd editions I want back Halloween 1978 DVD with the lenticular cover, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 DVD chainsaw edition and Saw 3 DVD with the chains and handcuffs hanging from the ceiling Something else I stopped doing is buying a steelbook when I have the standard version of the same format I also don't upgrade everything to 4K if the transfer is meh or no additional special features
My greatest regret is selling most of my VHS horror movies. I had over 1,000 VHS horror movies. Well when everything was coming to DVD I sold 100s including like 100 imported from Venezuela. Well not everything came to DVD. And now I'm so sorry I sold them but especially the 100 Venezuelan ones. I still have like 250 Venezuelan VHS but I can't forget of those 100. American ones? I'm sorry about the big cardboard boxes. My other regret? Not getting into DVD sooner. I got into DVD in 2005 and missed certain boxed sets that are expensive now. Anyway good topic and cool video Tim!👉🙂👈
Vinegar releases so much utter trash, for my taste. I only like maybe 1 out of 30 or 40 of their releases, so even less, than Criterion (different kind of snobby trash 😂). Love UMDs, because they're basically my favorite MDs in a different shaped cartridge. I wish they released DVD or even HD quality video on MDs, the size allows, if you cut down a UHD disc to that size. How much safer the discs would be, and the package could be much smaller, something squarish, like for CDs, only a little thicker, like cassettes.
It’s so easy to sell movies that you don’t want on eBay. Sure you don’t recoup all of your money unless it’s OOP and you will get more back. I don’t have any regrets still in my collection they have all been sold
Yeah it’s an easy option for people. Personally I hate selling. Listing things is easy, but getting to the post office always takes me reconfiguring my day haha. I never sell anything online because I hate everything about the process. I can and have traded things into stores or given away to someone in person to get rid of some things though.

100 percent agree was really bad for that
Yeah I pre-ordered 65 and bought twister near release date bluh lol twister was a good pickup tho lol
@@sbccave4015 yeah I have the zavvi premium edition for twister got the salems lot 4 pack mediabook set its cool but fml 300 could have got so much for that
Then if you do that... it goes out of stock and never to return.
Underworld 4k collection...
@@b4rs629 yeah I got the underworld set as soon as the pre order came out
We all have regrets yes from dvd cases broken or rip on the plastic cover
Awesome video Tim!
Twilight Time is my biggest regret too. Ugh…they were so cheap and now they are insanely expensive. Like you I started seriously collecting when they were closing up shop. I have recently picked up a couple on eBay.

Movies is my hobby it’s my favorite thing I do I collect thousands of movies to labels
Thankfully, I haven’t encountered too many of the regrets you have. My one regret, however, is that I haven’t gone region free yet. That’s on the agenda for this year: purchasing a region free BluRay player-mainly because there have been a few movies released on Region B that I would like to have.

I regret concentrating on collecting DVDS & not buying Blu rays as much.
I have no regrets. My collection is living its best life 😊

I will echo what you said about Vinegar Syndrome. Their discs are fantastic...but the movies are usually shitty.
Biggest regret I have is selling my Blu-Ray copy of Dead Alive years ago for $7.
I regret buying Mallrats on 4k. I just didn't find the movie to be that funny.
