The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection.

There are still sales of this box set in US retail stores, however the cost of it doesnt go down. The BEST DEAL you could get with this is at least $87 (excluding taxes)

I heard that there would be re-release economical version on the way on September?

xage, in terms of PQ and SQ, Hard Boiled is not so worth it. having the CC label is a different story though. i let go of the set anyhow.

I agree.. the CC label has a huge impact.. both that and the other John Woo film The Killer carries that huge Price Tag!

A few months ago, I chanced upon this title and could never pass this up the moment I saw it:

Bought this 5-disc set for P2,150.00 at an AV store located in Sta. Lucia. A perfect collector's item for a DVD 'n' music addict.

That would have been my most expensive. I remember that when it was still available and on sale. I was about to order it and have to think it over for a day but I decided to order it was out of stock already. It was the bigest ^@^@%^ mistake. It's number 1 for my wishlist. By the way it's the japan ver. that I' planning to buy not the UK ver.

d4nu65+3R · « **Reply #105 on:** Feb 09, 2006 at 10:22 PM »

that would be the three lotr extended ed. boxed sets. once you get one, it doesnt make sense that you dont get the others. bitin naman ang collection mo. tapos tindi pa ng binilihan ko at ang mahal kaya todas.

..hail!!to the big spenders!!

hemisphere · « **Reply #110 on:** Feb 13, 2006 at 04:35 PM »

aldrinpsx, ngayon ko nga lang napansin. medyo malaki nga pag pinagsama.

i find it wiser to spend my moneys on LE DVDs since i am not into grand HT setup. i find my simple 'regular release' HT Setup satisfying . besides, got no space to house an elaborate one.

also, i only have less than an hour each day to watch DVDs/TVs but more than 12 hours to admire these sweet LEs.

pilian lang siguro. hehehehehe.

pchin · « **Reply #111 on:** Feb 13, 2006 at 05:27 PM »

I second that..I admire his CooL & BIG collection of LE!

baby · « **Reply #112 on:** Feb 14, 2006 at 08:33 AM »

Me too. I don't own a grand home theater. But that's my dream. but when there's a Le that is that I like. Sometimes I click on "CHECK OUT" with out even thinking tomorrow. It's like that I'm hypnotized.

But when they arrived and sum them up. I kept telling myself. "I could get a B&W speaker for this" or "I Could get an AVR" outch.

But Like hemi as said. I like to stare at them at appreciate them. Sa totoo lang I don't watch my DVD's anymore so sooooooooobrang busy at work and with my family. And btw. My daughter owns the TV and DVD na.

Well said James! It's the LE syndrome & it's very addictive!

Your daughter is very lucky...in the future she will take on her daddy's steps...maybe by then it's the BD or HD-DVD na

Bought preowned: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition (FOTR, TTT, ROTK)

Bought new: Godfather DVD Collection

barracuda · « **Reply #117 on:** Feb 14, 2006 at 09:47 AM »

I'm not a big spender on DVD's. Many of my DVD's (more than 20%) were given to me, thanks to generous relatives in the US. I bought LOTR:TT Extended while the other two, FOTR and ROTK (both extended) were given to me.

The most expensive DVD I bought was Phil Collins: Finally... The First Farewell Tour, which set me back P1,500. The second most expensive would be the LOTR:TT extended (my entire set of LOTR extended edition costs less than the Phil Collins DVD!).

RPhoenix · « **Reply #118 on:** Mar 16, 2006 at 01:06 PM »

For me the most expensive DVD I bought so far is the Howls Moving Castle (Korean Limited Edition) at P3k. Followed by the Myth Limited Edition by Avant Garde, Band of Brothers Tin Edition, at Ultimate Matrix Collection (without the bust) at P2.5K, P2K at P2.5K.

Now Im eyeing on Narnia Limited Edition from UK (Exclusive from Amazon UK).

hemisphere · « **Reply #119 on:** Mar 16, 2006 at 08:55 PM »

looking good RPhoenix!

got all these sets except the local band of brothers tin. all LE's appreciate in terms of value so better get them while you can.

keep em coming!
