the flesh under the arms is apart of the style of the brown suit sometimes and its on the actual mafex

Just so you know those paint problems you pointed out are actually like that on the mafex besides that yellow but the shading and the flesh tone paint on the side is bc the og had it unfortunately

I have several CT Toys figures. The Mafex Symbiot Spidey, the Spidey you have here, Agent Venom and I have this guy and Agent Anti Venom coming in tomorrow … and I’m just gonna say it. I don’t view CT as a Bootleg company anymore. I see them more as 3rd party in the lines of Demonical Fit with Dragonball Z. They’re just SO well done that calling them a bootleg almost seems like a disservice hahaha. Great review, look forward to getting mine tomorrow.

Cool

i use a DJs numbered cd flight case and a spreadsheet

Firstly, eww. With that out of the way, 400+ is a lot of movies! I'm at probably around 80-100 but now have a 1-in-1-out policy. I have to ask myself if I'm ever really gonna watch that amount of content and do I need to be the custodian of it on that level? (no, not really) Once I got past a certain point I realized in many cases I'm buying them for the sake of it/out of habit and am now trying to whittle the collection down to the classic, essential and rewatchable, which I balance with a sort of "Now showing" section of 2-3 temporary items I'll re-donate once I've watched them.

interesting... but what is a DVD?

I prefer horror in DVD format... Saw genuinely looks and feels better in DVD format

tbf i do this with dvds on not a chance of me using them on blu rays and 4ks

Dvd continues to outsell blu ray and 4k so no, absolutely not dead. I have an enormous dvd collection and i cherish it. Charity shops are packed to the rafters with briliant films on dvd for 50p or 3 for a quid. Also, 4k is something of a fallacy in my opinion, it is a fractional improvement on blu ray and on many occasions 4k simply highlights a films flaws. For example, there is almost zero reason to buy a 16mm film on 4k.

I've found a far easier way. I am ripping all my DVDs as MKVs and selling them on Vinted. I have a couple of thousand DVDs done so far on two hard drives I collected for nearly twenty five years but stopped collecting last year. I got to the point where I was spending money that I could afford to spend but would rather use the cash for other things and spending £25 or more on a collector's edition of a film I already own or would only watch once seemed pointless. I also had to have multiple bookcases and then trying to organise them so I could find them and also catalogue them took time I can easily watch something now. I still have a lot to do and now I have an external Blu-ray drive, I can rip some of the Blu-rays as well. I'm not losing any quality on the rips and I can run them through my mini PC connected to my receiver to get the surround audio I got to the point where I was spending money that I could afford to spend but would rather use the cash for other things and spending £25 or more on a collector's edition of a film I already own or would only watch once seemed pointless It does take time to copy the discs, and I do have to store them while I wait for them to sell, but the inconvenience is worth it

Surely a way to scratch discs? I have DVD's in a wallet and there is a risk of scratches getting them in and out.

I used the file dvd system with the folders in the end. I went from taking up an entire corner of my living room to a small shelf in my spare bedroom. Much better

Started doing this yesterday. It works for me. Yes it does look they they're pirated 😂. I didn't mind throwing the cases away. After a few years of not using physical it was fine, plus recycling is a good thing . I totally get that people don't like this idea 😂

I'll definitely keep this in mind. I have tons of them. I'm a big fan of 20th century cinema. But for the past few years my kids are also getting heavily into them. And already I have a lot of trouble of explaining to them that they have to put them back into the case. If I go for this solution then I already know that there are going to be even more loose discs all over the place.

Can alway put them into binders as well

I watched Good fellows for the first time recently and thought it was boring and tedious to watch. Nothing really happened in it and it definitely did not live up to the hype it’s been given.

DVD is still the best selling movie disc format worldwide.

I have at least 500 movies/ TV shows on DVD. A few tears ago I thought my very favourite DVD film's I'd upgrade to Blu-ray as it wa deemed "better". I bought new films on Blu-ray and never thought anything of it. Then one day I found The green mile cheap so I grabbed it, as it was on one of the list, to uograde. That evening I dug out the DVD version and watched it on my 1080p 42" TV and it was just how I always remembered it looking. I watched a minute or so of the first few chapters for reference. I then went over to the Blu-ray ..... I was immediately disappointed, it was darker all over. Shadows were now almost black or black and the colour was horrible. The subtle hues had turned into an over saturated mess. I went to see what the interweb had to say and pretty much others were saying the same as i saw. A sometime later I got my grubby hands on a Blu-ray for Shawshank redemption. Sis the same as i did dor the green mile and it was peetty much the same ... Dark and oversaturated. In a nutshell I'm glad I compared as I realised it wasn't worth upgrading. That being said 4k disc's are a nice upgrade over a DVD. They don't have the oversaturated colours Blu-ray's do and they are not dark, but they are more suited to TVs bigger than say 50". If you have a smaller TV I think having a decent dvd player that can upscale is all you need

I'm a big fan of physical media. I've spent a small fortune on DVD's and CD's over the last 30 year's. Aound 2005-2012 friends and family were dumping their CD and DVD collections. I could never get bring myself to get rid of what I spent so much on. I was also miffed that I spent all this money and what I had to ro show for it was worthless. The next 10 or so year's friends and family would make comments about me being old skool or saying I should get a streaming subscription when we'd talk about movies or what we had been watching on TV. When they'd come round my house and look at my TV/film collection, their eyes would glaze over. I'd remind them you can watch it on subscription based TV although it won't be the same edit, if it's not been removed totally. I also think having something like this also says something about you (as long as you keep only the movies you really enjoy). A couple of friend over the last year have gotten back into getting physical media again. For anyone thinking about doing this is... It's a no brainer its so cheap right now it be foolish not to... The down side .... more recent films are hard to find cheap.

Nothing wrong with DVD's in 2024, they can be be bought very cheaply, most charity/thrift shops have large selections to choose from, you can still buy the higher end players that were very expensive at low prices and best of all they look great on a Plasma TV. I am not conviced that blu-rays are that much better, and 4K is just a con, how may new releases of back catalouge releases look any better on 4K, very few. True lies was a disaster. Just keep enjoying them as lomg as you can, the movies are the same on all formats, bar a few extra's and who ever bothers with them.

I have to watch dvd 📀. Because the tv channels are useless.

That's how they store bootleg dvds in Asia.

Coincidently made a simllar video a few days ago check it out if you like

I have all my classic tv shows on dvd , series like the sweeny and minder along with many others all on dvd. Also movies I’m only going to watch once I buy on dvd, I don’t see the point of spending extra cash on something I’m going to watch once. I do own 4k but only a few select ones. I only collect films and tv shows I will watch more than once now as in the past I made the mistake of buying just to bulk out my collection as a lot of collectors seem to do and they end up just collecting dust on the shelf.

DVDs are cheaper out of 3000 films and tv shows i have are dvd only

I just bought a dvd for USD 3 bucks only of stealing home and it is in very good condition cardboard package. Can't find it in blu ray so I am very happy😊

Good video and great effort, but I always felt like keeping them in the original cases.

I always buy dvds new from hmv they still outsell blu ray and 4k blu rays

Simple answer is No. More people are going back to buy physical media, they are sick of streaming services with enforced adverts, limited choice/not the films or content they want, increased streaming service fees and other reasons, plus when they buy a dvd/bluray etc, they only have to pay once. Long Live DVD !

I have a 4K player and TV and I've literally just gone back to DVD! I agree with everything you've said here !

DVD upscales great. And I only buy them and Bluray. 4Ks rubbish, too dark.

I definitely remember them as Teeny-Tiny Terrapins

is dvd in hd quality? bluray is FHD

I use dvds on my bedroom built in DVD TV, some streams and buffering get on your nerves!

I live in a small flat. I've done all my DVD's, cd's and some PC games 👍

No way. Thanx

This is a very good video, the most interesting video on the turtles that I have seen in a while

I keep a lot of my DVDs, CDs , Blu rays,4k in binder, some of them including box set, on self. Some cases I have thrown away away.

I still buy DVDs. I bought a bunch for $5 at the thrift store.

I still buy loads of DVDS in the UK

As long as the picture is 720p it's good enough to watch. 720p is what I would call Standard picture. It does the Job as good quality picture even if it's a movie you really want. It doesn't actually need to be the highest level of quality. If it's a TV you have your always better to have at least Standard HD as alot of TV Channels are HD that's if your into TV. I don't think you can buy a Standard 720p TV. I think their at least HD.

I have over 400 movies and everyone is on standard Dvd.I've never understood this snobbish looking down on DVD's by some.Pulling a movie from my brain let's say The Italian Job, how many times in a 5 year period are you really going to watch it? So I think it makes more sense to pay £5 to £10 for a DVD copy, or even cheaper in a Charity shop than paying £30 upwards for a 4K release.Enjoyed video, and subbed.😁

This is something I would never personally do but I think the result is great for saving space😉. You could even use a file cabinet style storage device and really separate your collection alphabetically with tabs just like filing documents🤩. I learned the hard way too about the DVD books. Darn hindsight lol🤣 I've thought of downsizing using slim cases before but again I didn't like the idea of trimming or folding the cover art so I opted against that. Main thing is you found a really economic and effective way of downsizing and organizing so you can upsize your collection!😁 My current collection is 1475 DVD's and Blu-rays mostly in original covers with almost 500 in DVD books and 164 VHS tapes. One day I may need to downsize my collection too. Thankfully, today isn't that day lol🤣

Seems like a great idea, would it be safe for the disks though?

Even though we live in times where everything is faster and has higher resolution, the DVD is anything but a dead format. Of course, it is no longer comparable to today's standard with 4K UHD, but for the average film fan and collector it is still the most popular and affordable of all formats. You also have to keep in mind that not everyone who likes to collect films automatically has a home cinema with an OLED television and the corresponding sound system at home. The DVD was a huge hit, as this format conquered the world, the times were over when you had to rewind and never again had bad picture quality when watching multiple times, plus there was endless bonus material for your favorite films, that was a highlight that has somehow been forgotten nowadays, at least that's how it seems to me. I too like to have the standard Blu-ray as my all-time favorite for the collection, but otherwise the good old DVD is completely sufficient :)

My favorite movie. My Ecto-1 license plate saved me from a parking ticket, the young cop put it on the ticket (in Kentucky only the rear plate counts) if she’d been raised right she’d have known about the Ecto-1

Jersey girl, one of those that is in every thrift store,picked it up last week😂

The reason I still buy (certain) used dvds is because some include special features that for some reasons never made it to bluray. Also there's the dreaded different colour grading/mastering (infamous examples like modern music having a crazy blue or green tint. or over the top dnr that makes every person look like a wax figure).

I miss dvds actually being packed with extras and like an animated selection screen and all that stuff. Now you only get that if there is a collectors edition or maybe MAYBE a boxset. Anyway we all know HDDVD was for real chads lol
