July Pickups - New or second hand, what have you bought recently?
I've been trawling the charity shops recently but Blu-rays are coming up short. Usually the mass market films everyone already owns.
However, this week I picked up Free Fire from CEX (£1.50) cracking little film, and managed to find Shazam! from a charity shop for just £1.
How are you searches going?
Some more pick ups for July. Horrible weather stops me from working so I can visit the local area and raid the charity shops.
Who doesn't like Mrs Doubtfire and the extras sound fairly impressive.
King Skull Island I haven't seen since release but I remember enjoying it a lot. I just didn't like where the franchise went afterwards.
Skull Island is the best of the recent American kaiju or monster movies. When a director can sneak in a reference to Cannibal Holocaust in a mainstream movie that's a plus in my eyes.
Solid finds there - I'd have them both for a couple of quid each.
I double checked the CEX app and Skull Island is 50p cheaper in store but who cares, it's for charity. 😁
So following on from previous comments, I was doing a few chores and decided to swing into a charity shop on the way home.
Slim pickings but I did get this box, posed next to a Bioshock steelbook I also bought (which amused me because I couldn't tell how much was damage and how much was part of the design).
It was £2.50, lowest price online is £3.25 but I also wouldn't have realised this was a thing if I hadn't stumbled across it. My uncle is big WW2 aficionado, so I'll be throwing this into his birthday presents. Everyone wins.
Bioshock steelbook goes for about £4 on eBay and most of the damage seems deliberate.
Also a test of taking image hosting off Feddit.uk, so if you see it let me know.
I can see the image and I love that Bioshock design. It's ironic because I've seen the old green special Terminator 2 VHS boxes that have now gone rusty with age.

Cheers.

From what I can tell, each steelbook is individually weathered, which is quite something. Not sure you could get that greenlit today.

Yeah, that's a really nice set. I am trying to not collect VHSs at the moment, but that's tempting. The rust almost adds to the character.
