Hello from The Netherlands!

Hello all from The Netherlands!

 

I only recently stumbled on this site as I got back in collecting physical media after several years of absence,
Wow, how did the film collecting change since I remembered last! I started out collecting DVDs when DVD had just replaced VHS and simply started to buy regular editions of movies I liked. (My first: The Matrix in an "Ivy Hill Snapper", very soon after it came out)
While collecting over several years up to a few hundred DVDs, I did not pay special attention to collectors editions yet. DVD was followed-up by blu-ray and about 5 years back my buying rate started to slow down. (Kids + Netflix are to blame I guess)
Only a few months back I got triggered by some very nice 4K steelbook products (Indiana Jones, The Hobbit) and I guess this will be start of something that empties my wallet fast.
Of course most of the movies and series can be seen through Netflix, Disney, HBO etc but now the aesthetic value of something to put on your shelf comes into play!

After discovering awesome premium versions exists (MantaLab, HDZeta, ..) I am feeling an urge to get a hold of some of these one day...

 

Thanks already for the warm welcome from some of you, and although my time for (lengthy) contributions will be limited I look forward to be part of this community!
