Very substantial! Sounds like a good get. Thanks!

How many in the OMEN collection? Just the first three?

Would like to see MANITOU again! Probably haven't seen it since it came out.

The first three OMEN films are on there plus the 2006 remake.

It really does look great so far..if you decide to buy it, try and search it out on Ebay first as Amazon has it for a rather pricey amount. I found my copy on Ebay for only $18.00

Grabbed one on eBay for $18.99 with free shipping. Yes, Amazon wants $23.65, and you have to spend $35 to get the free shipping. Thanks for the heads-up!

Btw, there's a seller on eBay called Perfect-Buys that I've been using that has really low prices on Blu-rays with cheap initial shipping and free shipping for additional purchases after the first. I've bought a lot of new Mondo Macabro BDs from them for usually either $12.99 or $13.99 each. They ship fast and, in a box, so it's worth checking to see if they have what you want, especially if you buy multiple BDs from them in the same order.

I always make a "wanted" list on Amazon and then double check for lowest prices on eBay before I buy.

Saved a LOT of money that way over the years.

Great minds thinks think alike as I find myself constantly doing the same thing.

I put the Hammer down and bought all of the rest of the Blu-rays I wanted. Just a few left that haven't been released on BD, yet.

Wow Mike. Look at you go!

Go to eBay to sell 10 more old DVDs.

Does anyone else collect old DVDs and Blu-rays after they upgrade? Just curious.

I have boxes of old VHS tapes, too, but I'm not as interested in collecting them. I lost a lot of video to crappy tapes over the years so that medium kind of leaves a bad taste. Some of the packaging for them is still cool though.

Not after. If I have something on DVD and upgrade to BD, I always sell/give away the DVD. The only things that I've kept all of the old ones are the Universals.

I should probably do that. I just find it difficult to part with old DVDs due to the nostalgia, especially box sets (even those big PD sets from Mill Creek and the like. I have a whole shelf of those and still watch some of them.  )

If the old DVD was one disc, and the new BLU-Ray is a single disc...

Just transfer them both to a 2-disc case and keep them both.  Doesn't take up any extra space and provides you with a backup if your BLU gets damaged.  (Or you can use the DVD to lend out when you don't want to lend the BLU-Ray.)

It's also a way to keep any DVD special features that were not ported over to the Blu-Ray edition.

I do that with favorite movies - and I use the half-thickness slim cases.  It still works.
