Ich liebe schon mein ganzes Leben lang Filme und alles was damit zusammenhängt. Besonders das Sammeln derselbigen.

Für mich ist tatsächlich nicht nachvollziehbar jemals davon Abschied zu nehmen und mich von meinen Schätzen zu trennen.

Das ist einfach Herzblut was da drin steckt.

Vielleicht sind es für einige letztlich natürlich nur Gebrauchsgüter, aber mit blutet immer das Herz wie „leicht“ sich manche davon verabschieden können.

Natürlich gehen mir Scalper genauso auf den Senkel wie Euch Anderen, aber was haben die mit meiner Leidenschaft zu tun??

Will natürlich keinem auf die Füße treten, melde mich eh viel zu selten zu Wort, aber das schien mir wichtig mal loszuwerden.

Moin zusammen,

so blöd wie es klingen mag, aber mir gehts derzeit ähnlich wie @icewire.

Gründe sind bei mir auch vielseitig...Platz, Preise, Optik, Wartezeiten. Irgendwie fehlt mir mittlerweile der Spaß am Thema. *seufz*

@icewire @raylight

 

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but do you think you'd still be interested if these releases were more readily available (or easier to acquire)?

 

We're kind of one big, isolated island down here, and there is isn't much of a market or demand when it comes to exclusive physical media releases (e.g. we don't get Criterion Collection releases here, Best Buy exclusives, etc.) and when you factor in conversion rates + shipping, it does make your interest in the topic wane a bit.

 

It becomes somewhat frustrating trying to hunt down even simple blu-ray releases such as those from Criterion from eBay, Zavvi, Amazon, etc. and paying a relatively hefty price (e.g. around $40 to $50 AUD for each blu-ray release), especially when they're so readily available in places like the U.S. (Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) 

 

Be nice if there were less hurdles to jump in acquiring these types of releases. Becomes somewhat tiresome after a while having to deal with scalpers or acquire releases from places where shipping time + costs aren't really desirable, rendering the entire venture not worthwhile.

Ich kann Euch beide verstehen.

Dennoch ist das Thema Film mit allem, was dazu gehört, seit gut drei Vierteln meines Leben meine Leidenschaft. Noch zu Beginn dieses Jahrzents habe ich mich so oft geärgert, dass Filme keine würdigen Editionen bekommen. Nun und noch gibt es diese. Ja, sie werden teurer und ja, Scalper sind zum Kotzen - dennoch lasse ich mir das nicht kaputt machen - da könnte ich dann noch auf vieles mehr verzichten.

Ich bleibe dabei. Ich hatte es vor eingen Monaten schon einmal geschrieben. Es ist eines der Luxusgüter in meinem Leben, die das Kinderherz in mir, ja gerade diese kindliche Aufregung und den Spass daran aufleben lassen, wie es andere Dinge eben lange nicht so oft schaffen. Über Scalper kaufe ich nicht und - abgesehen von WeET - sind die Preise für mich noch in Ordnung.

Wir haben zwei Volvos, aber keine getunten Edelkarren, wir haben keine Pferde oder Boote, wir gehen nicht mehr jeden Abend saufen, wir rauchen beide nicht mehr und ich brauche nicht jedes Jahr ein neues Smartphone. Also passt das.

Die Freude, die es mir gibt, überwiegt noch bei Weitem.

Ich für mein Teil bin so ein totales Opfer und sammel fast alles

 

[Fortis93]

I'd figured I'd offer my final two cents before moving on. I realized a can of worms had been opened here around some of the comments myself and other users have made here with regards to assessing the longevity and merit of such a hobby.

 

I, too, share in the child-like sense of giddiness and excitement that accompanies the waiting and arrival of each premium (hell, even, each simple blu-ray) I acquire. That never really goes away, along with the sense of achievement in having searched and saved up for a certain edition that is now sitting on your shelf.

 

I can understand and respect the difficulty in acquiring these premiums, especially if they have already sold out. I can even extend that to the business sense a lot of these scalpers have in finding a venture that will turn a profit. I just take issue with the fact that the pendulum can swing too much to one extreme at times, such that people will take advantage of these passions / hobbies and find a way to commodify and capitalize on that in the absence of reasonable negotiations.

 

I think that there's where you'll start to see an element of cynicism tainting the experience for some; your hobby, your passion is devalued as nothing more than a mere income stream for some, and you find yourself having to get involved in that, to play that dirty game, so to speak, with these people because you're so passionate. It can make you feel taken advantage of. Your passion is kind of being used against you.

 

And that's really where my main contention comes into the equation. It isn't exactly a question of whether or not the positives outweigh the negatives, but more the fact that some of us, depending on circumstances and / or geographical locations are going to have a harder time in acquiring such editions for whatever reason. And because of that, I don't really think it's anyone's place to arrive at a judgment or question the passion someone may have towards this hobby just because they may have become a bit disillusioned or frustrated at times with certain aspects of the acquisition process due to these aforementioned factors.

 

When it becomes difficult to acquire these editions, when you find that you're having to jump through too many hoops (these could be financial, geographical, etc.), sometimes more so than others, it may not only be hindrance on the enjoyment factor, but it can become easy to lose sight of your initial intentions. So much so that the next time you repeat this process, there's now an element of trepidation or hesitation which can sour the mood.

 

With all that said, I'm still going to be a big proponent and lover of both films and physical media, despite the frequency with which I find myself engaging in this hobby, or playing that game.

Brevity isn't one of my strengths. 

 

I realised I had much more to say about it than I originally thought. 

 

You nicely summed up a rather pretentious, self-important sounding diatribe. These are really the definitions of first world problems.

...Ich sag mal so! Kurz gefasst... Jedes Hobby kostet irgendwo, egal welches!

Gut, bei gewissen Filmen passt auch das XL wie z.B. Bei King Kong...😉 Ich schau dennoch zurück!

Und erfreue Mich jedes Mal! Immer & immer wieder, an anderen Sachen in der Sammlung!
