It's so ironic that I have plenty'o DVDs, but I don't collect for the sake of collecting. And yet, somehow, I managed to snag BATB PE for $35 (in Canadian money) and Behind the Scenes WDT!

Quick slightly offtopic question:

Are the treasures with really low numbers like #1-#100, are they reserved to like special people in the disney world, or can anyone get the #1 tin?

I doubt they're "reserved". Most likely, it will go to where it is shipped first. Like, #1-1000 will be shipped to Arkansas, or #3000-4500 will be shipped to Butte, Montana.

I never really cared for the numbers anyway. What would make #312 more special than #12535 anyway? It's the same content on the discs.

Yeah, this place definitely is not the place to be talking about the movie. I haven't seen it, but just based on the synopsis, I doubt I'll ever plan on seeing it.

My local video store has this to rent (they carry every Criterion DVD), though its "replacement fee" is quite steep, like every OOP Criterion title.

Though after reading about it on the Criterion website, I can't think of a reason why I'd rent it. It sounds like it could be up there with I Spit On Your Grave in terms of offensive content.

If one is interested in that particular movie, it can be had on DVD for a reasonable price - outside of the Criterion Collection.

There are quite a lot of bootlegs of OOP Criterions around and this "valuable" title in particular. But I was referring to the fact that that particular title has also been released by some other company than Criterion somewhere in the world. Forgot which one - I haven't got it for sale and I don't intend to buy one either.

Fantasia Anthology has been out of print for quite some while, and is really expensive on amazon marketplace and ebay if you want a really clean and new copy. Luckily, I got mine like new for 35 bucks yesterda, although I've heard people getting the set as low as 15 bucks :) y.

Was in a collector's store in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago and they had an original "Lady and the Tramp" DVD there for $350. Also they had "Little Mermaid" DVD for $325. There are some Disney original releases that are getting good money out there on the open market. eBay doesn't have it all and I don't trust those eBay sellers anyway.

:shock:

Those are definitely going to get drastic price drops come February and October 2006.

They also could go the other way if a person really wants the "original" and not a 'redo'.

Only time will tell.

I do wish I'd collected the WDT line...we have the complete Goofy set, but I think that's it. I may have to start that...

The reason I say this isn't because of monetary value, but because I am a die-hard Disney fan and wish I'd had the money to start buying all of those sets just to be immersed in the Walt-era history. So...I guess you could say that I collect Disney DVDs, but that's because Disney is one of the great passions in my life. But I am not a terribly ACTIVE DVD collector, as I am also a broke College Program student.

Outside of Disney...I only get the DVD of a movie/tv show if I like it, and I'm not determined to have the BEST MOST BONUS FEATURES-STUFFED version unless it's one that I really love and want to know more about. I want those versions of Disney films because I love Disney films and want to know as much as I can about them! I wish I could afford to own more Disney DVDs than I do, but in time, I suppose. :)

If you're interested in what I consider real Disney material - from the Walt-era - get the Treasures. They are worthy of the name and very reasonably priced compared to the value of their contents. :)

Well, the final Mickey volume probably couldn't (or shouldn't) be much different from what it is, I guess.

But without critisizing any of the other sets, I'll have to say that the Front Lines set is the most interesting of the Treasures. Historical material indeed.
