Ah right,it was uncut-dvds I was talking about as well.Really dont want to be waiting for my dvds for 3 weeks.I'm a little too impatient :lol:

Steve,I'll pass on that BEYOND at £120!:eek:

However,I won my XT Bigbox of The Beyond!:bananasuit:

Nice haul bdc!:thumb:

I'm still trying to decide what I want to buy for my 1st hardbox purchase.Damn this thread. :biggrin:

Don't envy you Steve.

Now I want you to think long an hard about this.
One hit and you're on the slippery slope....
This week I've sold my car,emptied my kids savings account,held up a post office and knocked off a security van.

All to pay for fancy big box DVD's......:lol:

Nice one Reaps! :thumb:
Thanks BE. ;)
If only I had known... ;)

:lol: But I want one! (well one to start with).TBH I'm not too fussed what it is,I'll just get one to satisfy my curiosity and then.......the sky's the limit. :lol:

Yeah, may be we should name this thread The Hard Box Addicts corner... :rolleyes: :dizzy: :nurse: :lol:

Careful Steve, once you get one there is no going back. You won't be able to stop yourself buying more and more. You will end up selling everything, your friends, your family, even your self!:eek:

:lol: Apart from myself,I'd gladly sell all those for dvds! :pound:

I'm thinking of going for The Burning (for the excellent artwork) as my first purchase.A nice safe one for the hardbox virgin. :lol:

There's quite a few different versions of that one Steve! ;)

I'd recommend staying away from the Retromedia version - if you actually want to watch it (the English audio track seems to be damn near impossible to access! :suspicious: :lol:) - great artwork though. :nod:

Do you want someone to hold your hand as you place the order:laugh:

Is it the Retromedia version you have? The one I saw is the same as the one in the pic of your collection. :ohwell:

Yep, afraid so. Although Retromedia have released another version (also advertising an English track... :rolleyes:) - not as great artwork, but it is a two-discer. Whether the English track actually exists, though is another thing. Anybody own it? Reaps? ;)

Damn,back to my search then!

I tell you what is a great release to get (not just for the hardbox, but also for the film) and that is Argento's Four Flies on Grey Velvet Retrofilm release. Groovy artwork, big box, and in a lot of ways it is superior to the MYA US release. It's still pretty inexpensive too. Definitely one of my recommended 'essential hardbox' purchases.

Anyone else have some recommendations for Steve (and the rest of us!) as to their opinions on essential hardbox purchases?

I'm thinking of picking up XT Island of Death release soon. Lovely artwork on that one. :thumb:

Saw Four Flies there while I was searching.Bookmarked that one in the old noggin. :D

It depends, Steve, do you want to collect a certain 'brand' of hardbox, eg. X-Rated Kult, XT Video etc. or are you just planning on buying anything and everything that you like the look of?

Be sure to get the big box,there's also a small one...
I got one recently and the image quality of the Mya is much better overall but I liked this better.
Call me nutty... ;)
The box is beautiful btw and a must for Argento collectors in my opinion.

Hmmm D&T Mailorder shows The Burning with the nice artwork but says 2 discs? Very strange.Is yours also a two-discer?


Everything and anything Linesix.I even liked the look of 976-Evil. :lol:

I suppose it doesn't really matter what you buy then, just whatever you like the best.

The same can apply to if your buying specifically aswell but prices are a big factor when collecting hardboxes.

Yeah it's the bigbox version I saw. :)

Yes, but I think that other one I linked is an oversize (big) hardbox, while mine is the buchbox (small hardbox). :biggrin:

Arrggghhhhh it's started already! I don't know what to get. :lol: Hmmm I do have the MGM version of The Burning and that cover is soooooo tempting.Not even bought one yet and I'm on the road to ruin. :lol:

All The Burning big hardboxes...
Bootleg/Unknown German/English
Retrofilm 2 dvd (Cover A/B) German/English? (unconfirmed)

I've had another confirmation that The Burning retromeadia disc actually only contains German language.I'll give it a miss,Spen my money on something else I think. :)

DTM Ain't much quicker mate,I can assure you.;)

This is The Burning big hardbox.It's got an Englander soundtrack....:thumb:

There's always ebay. :)

There's a lot on ebay at the moment mate.:nod:

Four Flies is on Ebay... ;)
I'm starting to get really confused about The Burning now...
Reaps is right,that's the unknown/boot and it has English.
I've edited my post.
The small Retrofilm (1 disc) has only German,the big Retrofilm (2 disc) should have English?

Lots on ebay,just saw the glorious Neon Manics.Argghhhh what have you done to me people? :pound:

It's about time to start a hardbox therapy group... ;)

That's right mate and it IS only a 1 disc.

The 2 discer came from Raptor.:nod: In a Digipak

Look below to see what's what...also steer clear of the hardbox with the Thorn Emi artwork-it's German only as well.

Dragon's came in an amaray and has English as well.:rolleyes:

Well that's Four Flies On Grey Velvet gone from ebay :ohwell: ..........Stephen's 1st hardbox! :bananasuit::dog: :woot:

Welcome to the club mate.:thumb:

Once you get it in your hands,you'll be hooked on them...

Loops you bastid-you started me on these again!:jest:
