I'm asking this out of pure curiousity, having just purchased El Orfanato (The Orphanage) 2 disc Limited Edition Steelbook with slip cover and exclusive art book from Spain for £29.95 ($58.78 / €37.71), £36.95 ($72.50 / €46.53) inc. postage.

This is probably the most I've ever paid for a single film, but as a collector, I think it's worth it! 


I paid £149.99 for the 'I Robot Deluxe Sonny Head Limited Edition Box Set' when is first came out. Only to find out the next month i could have got it for £49.99, when play.com mis-priced it!

Well worth it though, looks stunning!
Is it me? Or is Wilma Flintstone the most desirable women in the world?

Now you mention it, I've paid 99€ for the Sonny Head.

But it looks great, doesn't it?

Yeah, but the R1 release has more cool stuff (the book and the special Rambaldi set that look much much better than the UK one).

That said, you have 0 problems with the Discs.

Some may say I'm a bit crazy, but I spent somewhere in the low 6 figures for an extremely rare print of La Fin Absolue du Monde.  It's a one of a kind film and few have seen it.

I have open screenings in my home theatre to all who wish to view it.  Just let me know...



SIX FIGURES ?! 

as in at least 100,000 dollars, euros, BPS, rubles, rupies, or yen ???

... are perhaps you meant you traded six Jedi Knight action figures

Six figures is cheap for such a fine rarity!
It's the cost after watching it that worries me... we haven't heard from Vega in a while...

I've been looking for a new copy of 1984 and right now the cheapest i can find it is $134.95 on Amazon.com, I'm hoping they will release it again, like, maybe a Criterion Collection release would be nice.
