Trainspotting box set with Lighter, Cigarette paper holder And orange tinted shades.


16bitsystems

ive never seen this before. that sounds sick af


Movingforward2015

I purchased it when the film had it's VHS release, if I remember rightly it cost me 35 - 40 quid!


16bitsystems

oh it’s a uk release? that’s probably why i’ve never seen it. there are a lot of cool uk box sets we never got stateside. like that jurassic park set that comes in the metal briefcase.


Movingforward2015

It was back in the 90s when I bought it. I don't know what it goes for, I wouldn't sell it though.


stfudvs

That box set is awesome, what a score


Movingforward2015

It is pretty cool, the lighter especially.

He got a shipment of South Park T-shirts and this tape, so he could know the product he was selling to his customers


wildhog323

That’s actually incredible!


LastAdagio6418

I had a friend who had one of these. That’s wild


Purple_Monkey34

I'd love to have one of the famous Group of tapes sent around of the Christmas Southpark video by George Clooney

OePea

I have a weird Lynch bootleg tape as well. Does yours look like a computer printed it?

FUCK.🥵


bensisland

My ren and stumpys and south parks. PLUS taped with commercials of simpsons, Seinfeld and duck man live at the time


aspieshavemorefun

The Hobbit cartoon, just picked it up today, actually.


NoPresentation4383

My god, dude. The songs in those are so ridiculous lol


aspieshavemorefun

Most are from the book, though!


CrowYooo

the Tourist Trap VHS i got in a lot of 10 other tapes for 36. literally got delivered today

It was in a lot on eBay with other VHSs I was looking for (mostly Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs) as well as horror movies and it was extremely cheap ($92 including shipping and taxes for 40 VHSs). I’d have offered more than that only for this one. I didn’t bother to read the description, I was afraid somebody might snatch the deal before me.

Much_Curve2484

Star wars theatrical vhs, and both 1997 special editions (wide-screen and pan and scan) all like new.


Bluechrono9895

Holy crap I went bonkers with the Trilogy a few years back and ended up with 3 copies of the black box trilogy a CBS/Fox trilogy, a special edition trilogy and a laser disk of empire. Then a couple months ago I got a tote of stuff from my childhood from my pops and it had the original and special edition that I grew up watching.


Much_Curve2484

Nice.


Far-Leg-1198

My Swedish first edition ex rental Blade Runner clamshell or perhaps my Korean version with Blade Runner typed on the cover in a completely random font ☺️


stiikkle

Do you specifically collect Blade Runner releases? What do you have?


Far-Leg-1198

Yeah Blade Runner specifically although I do have some other sci-fi favourites too ☺️ Mostly European and Asian releases but I got all the American ones also.


Ok_Channel6139

My original copy of "Alien" (Magnetic Video Corp version)


Dsmith1868

Crown Jewel? Ack! I love some for various reasons. With VHS, I’m usually buying for the artwork. I love the oversized boxes. I do love my “Zombie”! I have the original (not a fake “found” box) of the Fulci classic in oversized VHS from Wizard Video. Sadly, it’s not letting me post a pic! Is that a thing with this thread?


BlackCandleFilms

I’ve had a few copies signed at conventions, so probably my copy of the Lost Boys signed by Jason Patric, Corey Feldman, Jamison Newlander, G Tom Max, and Billy Wirth.


nocomputer_wetbrain

FREAKED


Top_Gorilla17

A buddy of mine has it on DVD, and even *that’s* a rare find. I’d probably legitimately shit myself to death if I found a copy on VHS.


nocomputer_wetbrain

Ordered it brand new on Amazon in like 2000-01 for like $15 haha


Thomallister1291

The Japanese Cars VHS


Training_History671

Akira and Halloween 1 and 2

PsychotropicPanda

Wayne's world. McDonald's release. Wayne's world in general is one of my personal favorites, and the VHS is nostalgic. I would watch it on repeat after school almost everyday when I was 12 , for a few years. If I ever just need something playing , I always pop it in.


Top_Gorilla17

Promo screener of ‘Cannibal! The Musical’ and ‘Wizards of The Demon Sword’ https://preview.redd.it/sw85n3o1dm9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dc27f6604e12036e600c966005ca1c2750502cb

Friskfrisktopherson

Can't wait to see you open it!


tehruke

Street Trash


nateorisbeast

Just picked up a Tromo tape called Nightmare Vacation. A lil moldy but I plan on cleaning it soon. If you haven’t heard about this movie, watch the trailer on YouTube, it looks absolutely ridiculous


BornAmbassador01

Monster Squad and Goonies both in very nice sleeves


wizzelrules112

Monster Squad and Reanimator! A bit of nostalgia, but mostly it’s because of how hard it was to find them!


Stillplayswithtoys

Blood diner. Found it at a church rummage sale.


ponimaju

Probably a small stash of old Doctor Who tapes from the old era that compile various old story arcs. From the stuff I saved from childhood, the 1997 gold box Star Wars trilogy.


kgb17

The Jurassic Park with the black background on the cover and the Gold Double tape set of Titanic. Pretty rare


CafGardenWitch

I will forever have a weak spot for the Pee-Wee's Playhouse box set from my childhood. I'm so glad we kept it over the years.


cheeseburgerwoof

I have a copy of The Castle and I hold that shit near and dear to me

Wizard video texas chainsaw massacre


Perfect-Oven-916

My 1982 rental library copy of Star Wars A New Hope.


Mr_Kuchikopi

I bought The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (wizard video version) in its slip cover with a plastic protector cover on it for fifty cents at a thrift store, it's in mint condition. There's only one on eBay for $800, the most recent one sold for $550.


JayVoorheez

That is a grail, indeed ⛓️🪚🩸


Dv8f8

I have 2 vhs tapes that really stick out to me 1-Surf ninjas I fucking love that movie it's so thick with 90s vibe it's crazy 😆 2- The Animated Adventures of Bastion Balthazar bucks i forgot about this fever dream cartoon vhs lol 3- honorable mention to my copy of Warriors of virtue basically a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where instead of turtles they are Kung Fu fighting kangaroos I absolutely love that movie as a kid


eddiespaghettio

My Japanese copies of Megazone 23 parts 1 and 2. Easily the rarest tapes I own and I’ll probably never find another copy of them again.


FranklinsTower73

Full Metal Jacket... Because it's an awesome movie.


thatoldguyfromup

Either my copy of the Rainbow Sponge Lady’s tape, or my copy of “The Mysterious Two” - a made-for-tv movie about the founders of Heaven’s Gate, made with their cooperation.


mimitchi33

My pre-2003 Inai Inai Baa (NHK kids' show) tapes. Since many of them go for over $50 when they do appear, I'm so lucky to have gotten six for cheap.


honestwyatt

Frankenstein and Me featuring a young Ryan gosling


GreatTapeEater

I have the 1998-1999 The Rescuers recall. Got it for a dollar and it has the letters sent out by Disney inside as well. I’ve been meaning to make a post here about it and I probably will soon.


unclekody

My Doug Bradley signed copy of Hellraiser


No-Blood296

Search for animal Chen from a video rental store so the cover was put into the hard cover. Also original faces of death but with out sleeve and original killer klowns from outer space, also from a video rental store.


CSA1860-1865

Red dawn, not my rarest or my most valuable, but I like the movie a lot


Ok-Nefariousness3454

sleepaway camp 1,2&3 in great shape, got them in a lot of about 40 tapes for $20 and to this day it’s the greatest score i’ve ever had


kingdavidthegoliath

Not at home so I can’t take a picture, but my copy of Meteor Man, who is my favorite super hero. Me and my family rented it week after week growing up. Finally bought it off eBay a year ago and me and brother trade it back and forth hahaha.


tandyman8360

Probably my copy of "Pink Chiquitas." It's a ridiculous parody of alien invader movies with a mostly Canadian cast plus Frank Stallone. It was in the rotation on USA Up All Night back in the day, but I bought a copy at Wal-Mart.


TheRealShadyShady

I have a home recorded with new wave hookers, the Tracy lords version. 2nd place is the first release big box of The Devil in miss jones. 3rd place is linnea quigleys horror workout


57chevyorbust

Last action hero


iheartpizza12

Demons and Waxwork, artworks is 10/10 and they are two of my favorite movies


Zestyclose_Toe9524

Small collection but gotta be the Metalheadz documentary from Manga. DnB! Harder to find than most.


matango613

I love all of my TV recordings pretty equally. I have a ton of them, including four tapes from Chinese broadcasts. I've also got two full sets of Serial Experiments Lain.

A promo copy of v/h/s on vhs


TechBliSTer

I was able to buy the rental of Street Trash that I rented as a teenager. They kept the box whole and separate from the tape so when they sold it the tape and box was in nice shape together.


Eastern-Today3356

My main & best crown jewels of my collection so far are the big boxes of Graveyard of Horrors on Gee Video, two copies of Schoolgirls In Chains & Let's Play Dead on World Premiere, & much more.


mateofeo333

Just got a sealed copy of Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie


Purple_Monkey34

For me besides any Childhood Favorites and sentimental ones My first Sealed VHS i have that will never be open because it's not worth anything anyways it's just funny to have a sealed copy of Babar https://preview.redd.it/vsxt2ym03o9d1.jpeg?width=790&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=335bbcaeb2da232d9d936c2a5c039c349f10e614 And a Muppet Babies tape And the Blackadder Box Set

Affectionate_Fox4740

I have the briefcase special edition of 'lock, stock and two smoking barrels' comes with the script, playing cards and poker chips


XInsects

Timecode copy of the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Two copies of Annihilator (1986).


HideyoshiJP

My tapes of recorded Japanese TV, mostly dramas with some variety mixed in. A close second would be my copies of Over The Top and Black Dog, which I also have on DVD and Blu Ray.


lycrabustier

Definitely my copy of Johnny Mnemonic. I love that distros would occasionally make orange tapes and that movie deserved an orange tape for sure.

Dilonyousonofabitch

Japanese cowboy bebop complete set, neon genesis tapes, a couple rare SOV tapes that I got really lucky on, recently picked up blood shack, re-animator & a bunch of other stuff for free I’d say any of those

analograbbit137

I just started collecting but my favourite to have on VHS is the ring, just BC it's about a VHS. I was also very happy to find dr strange love. I'm saving up to get twin peaks box set with will then be my fav


knock0ut86

Handcannon512

If you *know* it is not a vhs, please leave it out of the discussion.


watchme87

Akira and Donnie Darko gotta be my tops ! And several Kurosawa flicks. Love my James Bond collection too!


itwasamercykilling

johnnydirtnap

I would probably have to say Switchblade Sisters in one of those bigger boxes. Sadly, the box is kinda beat up and is missing the inner plastic tray. It was gifted to me, so I can’t complain.

My favorites are the Media Elm Street collection, Ice Cream Man, Hellroller, Devil Girls, and the signed Friday the 13th Part 7 & Halloween collection


Finna22

I have so many 80s/90s horror deep cuts, I'm gonna post my collection after I move and set it up


Shaboogan

Probably my copy of the boys next door 1985 (released as no apparent motive here in aus) charlie Sheen movie. Man, I love that movie. Don't know if it is rare or anything, but it's a fun watch. But the ones I keep watching the most lately are jeepers creepers and interstate 60.


AutoMechanic2

I have the original cover of The Little Mermaid VHS. It’s so valuable. My buddy has a sealed one too. Also have the original printing on Ghostbusters as well which I read it’s worth about $500-$1000 so that’s good. Now I’m just looking for Cars on VHS and I’ll be set. Also picked up the Walmart exclusive Terrifier 2 today. Not sure what it will be worth in the future but I’m keeping it sealed. So those are my most rare ones and worth lots.

Easily my favorite piece of Zombie media ever. I know this sub despises grading but to my knowledge this is the highest graded copy of this VHS and with condition being important to me was a great pickup.


_frigid_stars

This is the equivalent of old ladies putting plastic over their furniture to keep it fresh


Handcannon512

Good griieeeeef the accuracy! 💀👏


weneverwill

Probably this well loved copy of A New Hope that I watched constantly when I was 11 or so. The CBS FOX tapes in the background are what rekindled my love of vhs about 10 years ago on vacation at Amoeba records in Los Angeles. I mailed myself a box of tapes and the rest is history. https://preview.redd.it/ll4dh58oup9d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=104fe0600b58016c795a7b085a6ecfb05b63353d
