It warmed up to 10 degrees, so I decided to go out to a thrift store. (I had to go outside to put out the trash anyway.) I picked up 9 Star Trek tapes (a mix of original series and next generation episodes and movies) - $1.75 for all of them. They charge by the pound, not by the tape.

I always pick up Star Treks on VHS whenever I see them, even if it's one I already have. I just noticed I have quite a few copies of some of the movies and none of others: 2 copies of 1, 5 copies of 2, 2 copies of 3, 3 copies of 4, 0 copies of 5, 6, or 7, and 4 copies of 8. So what's going on, did nobody ever buy Star Trek 5, 6, or 7 on VHS?

I remembered reading what you said a few days ago and while I was out, I noticed several star trek movies including Generations and The other newer ones. I picked up a factory sealed Voyage Home and two others to complete my set that shows a pic of the enterprise when lined up together. Even tho I already have regular releases of these movies. Also found episode 27 of the original series which I needed.

Just pulled in a huge haul of 115 vhs at less than a quarter a piece since my whole shopping list which included books, clothes and misc. All came to $16. I'll post pics tomorrow. A ton of b movie horror and classics. Definitely a good day.

I went back today and picked up around 30 VHS, and a Voice of Music reel to reel that I'm messing around with right now. I found a copy of Star Trek 6,7, and 9 (and 2 more copies of Wrath of Kahn). So now I'm just missing 5 and 10. I need 5 to complete my set that shows the picture of the enterprise. I have some episodes of the original series and next generation on VHS, but I'm nowhere near a complete set of either. If you combined what I have on VHS, DVD, and CED, I probably have about 2/3 of the original series.

I think my picture set is complete. I'll check today. I know I have all the movies. Half of next generation. Several of original series and all of the ones they released on ced. No dvds though. I don't buy much of those. Right now I have about 80 dvds. Mostly anime, horror, and comedy.

Thumbs up

The other day I finally got THE GOONIES (1985) recorded off analogue cable! (Cinemax - 1986)

Oh my its goregous...... On its official VHS tape its been DIGITALLY PROCESSED and doesnt look or sound as good..... Even the Japanese release is!! (I think the videodisc is the only analog release not digitally altered)

It looks thin and disgusting......... Audio crappy...... Hearing the straight analog audio from Cinemax on analogue cable is amazing!!

The pic is good also... It has depth and is just gorgeous!


I also got THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985) recorded from HBO (26/12/86)

Audio is goregous on it also.... That movie is MONO and I dont think the official MCA tape is... It doesnt sound as good or warm @ all..... and the picture sucks.... Its flat looking and just disgusting!


I also got BREAKDOWN - 1997 on VHS

This is an ancient thread, but I recently received what looks like a brand new VHS-tape of "The Big Mouth" with Jerry Lewis (1967) from Amazon, being it's not available on DVD. It doesn't just look NOS, it looks brand new. I don't know who is still making these.
