I like to support British companies too (even more so at the moment with the state of physical media - and especially for niche boutique releases), but unfortunately my finances when it comes to home media expenditure are only finite and with a wish list as long as a giant squid's tentacle I can't afford to support lazy-ass releases when there is a comparably priced better alternative on the market.
I'm not one to bother about run/spine numbers myself either (even though I do arrange my Blus by distributor, I arrange alphabetically ignoring the numbers - sacrilege I know!), although for me the slasher collection run was ruined when they decided to include the
Children of the Corn sequels.
I think if you start buying into a release because it's numbered and part of a collection, then the releases start to own you rather than you owning the releases.
I have them all up to the
Children of the Corn Trilogy though and have
Scalps on pre-order. I will also be picking up
Drive-In Massacre and
Prozzie when they fall to £8.99 at the usual haunts.
I'm also very much looking forward to finding out what their latest Italian and Slasher Collection acquisitions are - as long as they're not more
Children of the Corn sequels!
