Retro eh?
Everything comes full circle....
Are these the 12" things that have appeared here too?

I saw a bunch of them in Tesco last year and thought "they'll be in the bargain bin soon" and I was right! It's such a bizarre concept - clearly dreamt up to cash-in on the hipsters. Still, these Japanese ones look really nice - remind me of the days when I collected LaserDiscs - I had a fair few Japanese releases and they always looked so nice with those obi stripes down one side.

Those CIC Video sell-thru Blus are a bit of a wasted opportunity too - why didn't they use the pre-cert art instead? I was never a fan of those stripey covers - I had a few - in fact, Back to the Future was the second tape I bought way back in [gulp] 1988. Could you imagine if these take off? It would be nice to see renditions of the large, bix boxed Warner titles with black borders.

Oh, to be a film collector - first world problems!
