    Any VHS / Pre-cert Experts?

    edd_jedi I've found myself in a similar position as you. Ended up collecting (again) the first rental editions of the trilogy. In doing so I discovered this 'variant' issued in a white box. Indeed, you find yourself disappearing down a rabbit hole with such things. I'm resisting getting any...

    When to start thinning down?

    I think it's sensible to consider these things while you can. Younger collectors here don't need to worry, but time creeps up on us all. I'm knocking on 60 and have been 'thinning down' a large number of different collectables over the years. I may have already commented on this here...

    Is everyone asleep??

    Another one time collector here. My interests are fairly wide and I'm a member of several other forums so don't always check in as often as I would like to. Like Weasel, I sold off nearly all my Star Wars collectables some years ago. The older you get the more it feels like time to slowly pass...

    Original SW screening at BFI in June

    I’ve not seen that ILM documentary yet so will check that out. I added a comment on one of those Youtube videos pleading for it to be released for the 50th anniversary LOL. I think that’s something that might actually happen, being the big 50th birthday - lets see!

    latest film/ dvd you have seen

    I've an interest which goes back to when I was watching horror films in the 1980's. I've a small selection of VHS pre-certs like The Brood and Rabid but none of the banned 'nasties'. Last year I tried several times to join the www.pre-cert.co.uk forum without success. The registation process...
