[@SamaLlamaStudios]

2024 update now posted ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJuoloWQaKh_hdk

[@JoeBuck207]

My neighbor gave me every Godzilla and every Japanese monster movie ever made on DVD, some were dubbed from VHS and other unknown sources.

[@rockzilla1664]

Lucky you

[@xZeroVirus567x]

I remember when when my step-mother bought the DVD version of Godzilla vs Biollante and the Blu-Ray of Tokyo SOS and Final Wars when she was at Best Buy back in 2014. She did now know that GvB on DVD is one of the rarest Godzilla movies ever... I still have it in a goodwill. It feels like a treasure to me.

[@Zoey587]

Great collection! I actually was able to find the Toho Collection dvd box at Walmart last year for 30 bucks on clearance

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Nice!

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

glad I waited I got it for $15 recently

[@fahey6797]

I have a VHS copy of Godzilla vs.Biollante from when VHS was a popular format. It was and still is the most expensive single movie I ever purchased at $70.

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

That's crazy to think about. I recently got the VHS for like 12$ on eBay. Unfortunately it's the most economic way to watch it...but its also the most nostalgic.

[@sushishogun2486]

The New Godzilla Movie is called Godzilla Minus One it will be in movie theaters on December 1,2023 in the United States

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Nice collection man. I hope we get a collection for the heisei and millennium series like the showa series got

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

All we can do is hope, never expected the showa set to realistically exist so we just gotta wait n see

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

@@SamaLlamaStudios yeah

[@marxiplier4322]

This is a really comprehensive guide. I wanted to watch the Japanese movies for a few years now but I wasn’t entire sure where to start. I do have the blue ray for Godzilla 2000, but I’ve never watched it due to the region lock. So I’m planning to get region free blue ray/dvd along with the criterion set and other Toho collections. Shame Biollante and Ghidorah are so expensive, hopefully they’ll get a new print for the next anniversary.

[@BOBHALLJR]

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for showing me the Criterion Godzilla box-set cases. I had no idea someone was creating these high quality cases. I hate the layout of that set. I also bought these cases for the GAMERA box-set. That’s a great set !!😊

[@daseal1479]

Where did you find them? I found some on Etsy, but they are 4, 2-disc cases. I want the ones from this video. Edit: Nevermind, I found them, lotta good looking choices too.

[@dynamicreviewlution9887]

Great collection and also great advice to those who want to start their own collection.

[@zachdproductions123]

Quite jealous of your collection. I have that DVD copy of Gojira, it’s cool. They do need to put out a DVD and Blu Ray release of Godzilla 1985. I have Godzilla Vs MechaGodzilla 2, but not the first. The first I have a hard time finding for some reason. There’s others I’m missing I’m sure. I do have a DVD collection of volume 1 and 2 that come with a bunch of classic Godzilla films, got it for like 40 bucks. Worth it.

[@empireofhouse87]

Nice collection! I was able to snag that Rodan/Gargantuas dvd at a convention for $40!

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Super jealous, I’m still hunting for it

[@empireofhouse87]

@@SamaLlamaStudios Did you try EBay? My be pricey now.

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

@@empireofhouse87 I use ebay quite a bit, unfortunately I haven’t found a good deal to snag yet

I got it in eBay for the same price a while back!

[@empireofhouse87]

Good one. I have 2 new Godzilla titles: King of the Monsters and Vs. Kong. Oh by the way, in 31:51 that's Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes) my favorite

[@mr.ginger183]

Who else wishes Netflix would release the Anime films/ Anime?

[@sushishogun2486]

Great collection also I found out Japan releasing a new Godzilla movie on November 3,2023 and a new Godzilla and Kong movie on March 15,2024 .

[@michaelsouza9014]

Top !!! Parabéns pela coleção!!!

[@ilkvomit88]

I got that exact version of Gojira signed by Nakajima san himself (At Monsterpalloza in Pasadena Ca.) a year before he passed away.

[@mikecrawford1247]

I myself have been trying to get a complete Godzilla blu ray collecton, the hardest to get was Biollante whitch I was finally able to get last November at a reasonable price for the official release, now I’m working on getting the English dub versions of the 7 or 8 movies in the Box set of the criterion release only 3 left to track down

[@twistedmetal100]

I never seen anyone also mention the “sizing up Godzilla” documentary which is included in the Rodan/war of the gargantuans dvd release. One of the best Godzilla documentarys ever made. You can only get that documentary as a special feature in this edition.

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Interesting. Still the only piece missing from my collection is that DVD. I was not aware of this as I never owned it. Thanks for informing me.

[@twistedmetal100]

@@SamaLlamaStudios oh sorry I got the title of the documentary wrong. It is called “bringing Godzilla down to size” it’s on KZbin if you want to check it out!

[@ninopaulojabon7864]

nice!

[@jerrodhall1]

I was lucky enough to buy the Godzilla vs Biollate blu-ray right when it first came out.

[@FarpointFarms]

I have a question for you. I had the complete collection on VHS years ago and sold them when I got them all on DVD. Now, I'd love a digital copy of the Showa Era Godzilla movies in full screen (Pan and Scan) that only existed on VHS. I can find no one that has these great VHS tapes ripped to digital. If you still have this collection, Could I pay you to rip copies to digital for all the older Showa era ones?

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Unfortunately I do not have all the Showa VHS tapes yet

[@treystephens6166]

I’ve spent way too much money on collecting Star Wars home video VHS 📼 DVD 📀 LaserDisc 💿 now Star Wars is dead. So I’ve turned to Count Dracula & now Godzilla ‼️

[@Pokehon]

I'm working on the blu ray update to mine!

[@timsimpson6019]

I own all but 4 Godzilla films as well as other toho films like rodan and mysterians on dvd. Some are Japan imports. It’s cool lol

[@ravatosthepro1323]

Any good tips for the pal region cuz I'm looking for pal dvds of the classic movies

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

unfortunatly I don't know much about the PAL region. I know there are several different box sets which are usually more consistent with movie titles, I'll try to research more on it when I make my updated video

[@richardmoran1161]

I own the Chritararian Collection not every movie in that book size collection is dubbed into English some are but not all

[@HeavensToMergatroid88]

So his large collection consists of reprints and rebrands? I'm new to collecting and it seems overwhelming. I'd just like a clear and concise video of what's needed and what's not. For example if it exists on one box set and then again on another re-release don't include every re-release in your explanation that's way too confusing I just want to know what dvds/Blu-rays I need in order to collect all 33 Japanese Godzilla monster movies.

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

I'm not sure I understand. I made a point to explain each release and point out the definitive version to own for every title. This video offers information on every release including the best ones to have for your collection. My collection is built from years of updating whenever a there was a new release so I have several reissues, many of which are still worth owning if you're a die hard fan, if you only want to own the movies then hunt the blu rays/4K's.

[@beatsbyjiro8291]

Man, im so dissapointed i remember when Godzilla 1985 Blu Ray was $9.99 - i figured it would never be OOP, now its $100 but I am thankful I picked up the Toho Master Collection Boxset; I just love the packaging with the original movie posters and the prints are gorgeous plus the dubs. And youre right, the dubs are important for us guys who watched these movies on TV in the late 80s and early 90s, some of the english dialog is classic. Great video, would like to see an update!

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Godzilla 1984? Just to reaffirm, the Krakken Blu Ray does not include the 1985 version...nor has it been officially released yet. I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm currently editing an updated version, hope to have it out soon!

[@beatsbyjiro8291]

@@SamaLlamaStudios thats right, i still use the american release name even though it its not actually included on the release, old habits die hard i saw the movie in the theatres when i was six years old and also I had a huge godzilla 1985 poster, same artwork, that we got from the VHS store, good times

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

@@beatsbyjiro8291 Oh I totally understand, and I’m definitely jealous that you got to see it in theaters. I still dream theyll settle the copyright issues and give us a proper restoration

[@beatsbyjiro8291]

@@SamaLlamaStudios its really habit, i see that awesome artwork that they used for the poster and bluray and my mind instantly sees 1985 lol but yeah we need that contract worked out so we get a 2 movie disc.

[@timelesstimesgoneby]

What’s movies are in the big boxset

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Are you referring to the Criterion Blu Ray box set or the DVD Box Set with the shiney cases? The Criterion Blu Ray contains all of the showa films from 1954 to 1975.

[@sheenastrawser8251]

What about Frankenstein conquer the world and archergone and King Kong escapes DVD?

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Well they’re Toho films but not really Godzilla films, why do you ask?

[@darkrad7535]

Godzilla (1977, Italian Version) where? but jokes aside, very nice collection!

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Now that would be a fascinating addition 😂😂

[@GSD_Kaiser]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@treystephens6166]

Is that DVD Box Set with the shiny cases worth $120 ? Is Godzilla 1984 DVD worth $40 ?

[@SamaLlamaStudios]

Price's change every time you look for copies, I spent 100$ on the DVD box set because it was the best way to own the movies at the time, but now? Not so much. Not unless you really want it on your shelf, you're better off getting the criterion collection. And I would say get 1984 on blu ray if you can, but if DVD is the only option I would nab it since they no longer can print it.

[@treystephens6166]

@@SamaLlamaStudios I just ordered a bootleg Heisei Godzilla DVD Collection 1984-1995 for $150. They seem to be copies of the Big Japanese Final Box Set with the Godzilla Head but they have English Subtitles in the Menu & I’ve heard the Final Box 📦 doesn’t have English Subtitles but it looks like they might.

You can find it for less than 10$ on blu ray on Amazon

[@mothguy1027]

i bought the toho godzilla collection for my nephew and be warned of buying that one if you want to watch with kids because only half of the movies have an english dub for whatever reason.

You mean the Criterion Collection? The Toho Master collection has every dub on it but the Criterion Collection only has a few.

Isn't Godzilla 1985 on blu-ray online?

There is a really good fan restoration being made. Its not official but I myself put it on a blu ray disc.
