What Have You Bought Recently?

We got this James Cagney set in amongst a donation. Case looked fine etc. Finally got to it today, and was quite annoyed that a few discs were missing. Shame. So now I have a Cagney set ahem. White Heat and The Public Enemy are essentials in my book. £1.

When it arrived through the post, I was extremely disappointed to see the state it was in. There *should* have been a big (80 page) booklet with it, but this was missing from the case, which meant that box was crushed

Obviously, I did what everyone does in the 21st century - I posted a scathing 1* review on their website

A few hours later I had an e-mail from them saying they would 'look into things' which they did do and (to their credit) they admitted that the product was inferior and not as advertised (due to the missing booklet), immediately refunded my money and told me to keep the discs

As a result, I have effectively acquired a free 3-disc Blu-Ray of the very first rock festival !!

Good for you and good for them.

I guess they no longer have a substandard product in stock, you aren't out of pocket for buying a defective item, and are happy with how it was resolved, so it's definitely a win-win transaction.

I have also had similar buying experiences from Music Magpie where they have replaced something which was broken or damaged, or refunded me and said I could keep the item, so I've been very happy to buy from them again.

Good choices there, but I'd take The Roaring Twenties over those two any time.

It’s not exactly what I went to HMV for but I’m happy with my payday treat purchases lol. I did go for the Italian crime films but was hoping to come away with Cliffhanger and King Kong but they had neither.

A bit of a spend this week on Amazon. My first and last most likely for Feb.

A blind buy, which is good, i wanted a couple i'd never seen before. It sounds very good. It was between this and Death Occurred Last Night.

Pearl and Lovers Lane being the other two blind buys.

Pearl is brilliant by the way, I was unsure going into it, but by the end I came out a huge fan. I'm really looking forward to MaXXXine when it comes out, hopefully this year!

I want to watch X again before seeing Pearl for the first time.

Lovers Lane was constantly showing on Horror Channel/Legend a lot and not bad for a decent teen horror
