Today has been a special day for me because I had one of the best DVD hauls of my life. I went to Brighton and popped into a few second hand shops, not expecting to find much really as never normally do but today was different.
First stop, Gamestar. I'm trying to collect all the 20th Century Fox Definitive Edition steelbooks and I always look out for them when I'm out. Low and behold there sat
Kingdom Of Heaven and
Speed, both in pristine condition, never been touched and only £5 each. I was a happy man.
Next up was CEX. Kelly helped browse with me and managed to grab the
Iron Man Steelbook which I'd never seen before but heard it's quite hard to come by.... only £5 too. Along with that I grabbed
Around the World in 80 Days and
The Twins Effect as part of my ever growing Jackie Chan DVD collection, only £2 each. I was an even happier man now.
Last but not least I went to RePlay. You may or may not know but I like my obscure and different DVD cases and the Transforming Transformer cases are my favourites. I currently own the Bumblebee one from
Transformers 2 and I also imported the US exclusive Megatron one from
Transformers but I've spent the last 4 years looking for the original Optimus Prime one. I thought that I'd have to import it from the US as the UK one seemed to be non existent on ebay and amazon. Low and behold on the shelf in RePlay there stood Optimus Prime. My heart was in my mouth and I started to sweat from excitement (I know that's sad but I just couldn't believe my eyes), my stomach then dropped to find it was only £5, yes £5. To top it off and round up the haul perfectly I also grabbed
2001: a space odyssey - Limited & Numbered Deluxe Collectors Edition which comes with 70 mm film cell,
The Assassination of Jesse James - Limited Collectors Edition and
20th Century Boys: Chapter 1 - Limited Book Edition. All for only £5 each again.
I'm so chuffed that I had to ramble on and bore you all with details.
