Hi Folks!

 

Well I unfortunately began posting my collections in the wrong thread, heh.

So, some of the ones (only 3) here, will duplicate the other thread.

 

Here I will post my collections, the other, new arrivals.

 

Hope you like these!

Very nice! I may have...ahem..one or two others 🤣

[Grendel]

Just a bit more Blade Runner:

Just before I display some lovely Hammer Films, I wanted to toss this up.

Jack Elliot and The NAO did an incredible job of replicating most of Vangelis's score.

True, this is not the OST but I bought it many years ago actually for the front and back cover art! heh.

Oh, and somewhere in my library (curently under renovation) I have; "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" by the indomitable Philip K. DDick. 🙂

When I get a chance, I'll find it and take a pic.

@Grendel see a lot of great items in this topic already 😍, cool collection. I think I see some more awards in your future (when I finally get to them 😥). Lots of Blade Runner disciples on MP 👍

[Grendel]

Hi Folks!

I thought it time to post my Hammer Films collection.

I've been collecting Hammer since the vhs days and have most of their esteemed films (well, those released) on dvd.
* Also have their wonderful Filmography, listing all films with great write-ups, by; Tom Johnson & Deb Del Vecchio
Since purchasing Blus of their fliks, I've tried to stay with Box Sets, when possible.
Hence, the reason I'm posting here, as many are quite "limited eds".
Still many Blus to go and fortunately, there are a LOT of new releases just out or coming!

Now, I won't name every film in the Box Sets, or this post would be 2 pages long.
Very easy to 'google' them though ! (I will of course, name the Box Sets themselves).
I might post a pic of my Hammer dvds but although the cover art on many are superb, there may not be much interest here.

Anyway, here we go!

 

Box Sets:
- Hammer Films Edition (Germany, in Eng. Studio Canal, 7 films)
- Hammer Vol 1 ( Indicator, UK, 4 films)
- Hammer Vol 2 (Indicator, UK 4 films)
* - 12" Chris Lee as Dracula figure ('Product Enterprise Lmtd,' Licenced by Hammer)
- Hammer Vol 3 (Indicator, UK, 4 films)
- Hammer Horror ( Shock Ent. Oz, 17 films)
- Hammer Collection (Studio Canal. dvd but gorgeous! 21 films)
- Hammer Horror (flat, far left, Universal, 8 films)
- Hammer Horror Classics (flat, far right, WB, 4 films)

 

Singles:
- Curse of Frankenstein ( 3 discs)
- Dracula (3 discs)
- The Mummy (3 discs)
- Pirates of Blood River (Twilight Time) very sorry about the glare!

- Vampire Lovers (Karnstein Trilogy, pt 1)
- Lust For a Vampire (Shout! Karnstein Trilogy, pt 2) YES!!!
- Twins of Evil (Karnstein Trilogy, pt 3)
- Hammer House of Horror (Network. the TV anthology series, 13 ep.)
- Dracula AD 1972
- Satanic Rights of Dracula
- Hammer Horror WB Years (Act 3 Prod. Documentary,) [ also have "Flesh and Blood" doc on dvd, by Act 3).)
note; forgot to add my copy of To The Devil A Daughter (Lee & Kinski!, I'm an idiot !)

p.s. : yes, that's a real cobra peeking out of the leaves on the left ( acquired while on duty with RCAF, in Rabat, Morocco)

Wow @Grendel that really is an amazing collection of Hammer Films. And a real Cobra to boot! I hope the two of you watch together 🤣

[Veum]

Hey @Grendel,

 

Quite impressive, as I do have alot of those singles and some boxsets myself... love me some HAMMER!

Hello Again My Friends.
I thought perhaps a pic of my Terminator collection might be worthwhile.
It was very tricky taking a decent pic with so many Lentis in the mix, so I apologize in advance...

Here we are;

* - T2 Endo Arm with film discs in base (3D + Blu)
- The Terminator (HDZeta, Lenti)
- Terminator 2, Judgement Day (Kimchi, Lenti) ( where's my T2 Gold Lenti, HDZ!!!)
- Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines (HDZeta, Lenti)
- Terminator 4, Salvation (HDZeta, Lenti)
- Terminator 5, Genisys (HDZeta, Lenti)
- T2 ( Extreme dvd, metallic cover) yes, dvd but I really like it.
- Terminator Anthology (Digipack, 1-4, lovely embossed metallic T-800 on inside cover)
- Terminator 2, Judgement Day (3D, SteelBook, Studio Canal)
(also have the "Sarah Connor Chronicles" [TV Series]... Summer Glau and Lena Headey, yum!)

* In the pipe; FAC, T2 Maniac Box (perhaps I should have waited, but I'm sure there will be a few pics of it on this site!)

Oh, btw, some of you may be wondering about that old, ratty, beat up table that my 65" Panny 3D Plasma sits on, that appears in my pics.

Well, that was our kitchen table (it has folded legs) when my wife and I first got our own place. We didn't have a DIME betwixt us essentially and so furniture was a bit slow coming. heh.

So sentimental value wins out over esthetics every time! 🤗

Cheers!

Hello Again My Friends!
Although there may not be a large Anime community here, I know there is an avid one, so I thought I'd take a moment and display some lovely sets I've managed to procure.

I'll start off with;
Black Butler.
These are becoming increasingly expensive and difficult to find for a reasonable price it seems;
Aniplex has just recently re-released a gorgeous edition of S-1 (shown) and there are rumours of them re-releasing a new ed of S-2 as well!
The Artbooks are huge, impeccably detailed and give wonderful insight to the characters.
So, without further preamble;

Pic 1;
- Black Butler, S-1 (Aniplex, spec ed)
- Black Butler, S-2 ( Aniplex/Funi)
- Black Butler, S-3, Book of Circus ( Aniplex/Funi, spec ed.)
- Black Butler, Book of Murder ( Aniplex/Funi)
- Black Butler, Book of the Atlantic (Aniplex/Funi)

Pic 2; (reverse of above mentioned titles)

Pic 3;
- Black Butler, Artbook 1 (HC, gold spot-gloss)
- Black Butler, Artbook 2 (HC, gold spot-gloss)
- Claymore (std ed.)
- Battle Royale (Arrow, Steel) a bit tricky to find!

Cheers! 🤗

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Grendel]

Of course, no Anime collection worth bragging about would be complete without some of the "Classics".

Below is a pic of my "Ghost In The Shell" collection.
- Anime, Books and Film.
Some of these are not just pricey but pretty difficult to find.
I know some were not overly enthused with the film but I LOVED IT!
Considering what they were attempting to accomplish in 2 hours, I'd be hard pressd to see what improvements could be made.
I also think Scar-Jo was perfect in the role and you do NOT want to hear my thoughts on the 'witewashing' hub-bub.
And, Takeshi Tekano. The world needs more films with Takeshi. 🕵️‍♂️

So, anyway, here we go!

- GitS Anime (Korean ultra spec ed. has Eng subs)
- GitS Manga set (HC, spec box set, 3 vols. in Eng.)
- GitS, SAC 1 (Korean spec ed. has Eng subs)
- GitS, SAC 2 (Korean, spec ed. has Eng subs)
- GitS 2, Innocence ( Amaray, Funi)
- GitS, SSS (Solid State Society) ( Kodansha, 3d + 2D, Japanese ed., Eng subs)
- GitS, Box-set, ("Rise" Series [1-4], + Pyrophoric Cult, + GitS New Anime Movie, Japanese, Eng subs)
- GitS Film ( 4K + 2D) ( Blufans, spec ed.)
- Gits Film (3D + 2D) ( Blufans, spec ed.)
- GitS Film, (UHD, Leather Box set, spec ed.)
- GitS Film (BB, SteelBook, Blu + dvd)

Next up... Univerals's Monsters Collection! (oooh, this one could be, um, large.....) 😉

[extantsrevenge]

@Grendel terrific stuff again. I'm a huge GitS fan myself ☺️, terrific stuff you got.

 

I really wish they would do a second season for Claymore, the Anime is fantastic and the Manga is absolutely amazing with such beautiful art 😍
