Out Of Print, Overpriced, & Hard To Find Blu-Rays

[@brianchapman1980]

I have the exact same copy of Buffy that you do and I bought it last year out of the Walmart movie bin for like $5! Glad I still have it in pristine condition

[@deagleknievel]

after a certain price point, ill just go with the pirate option. obviously the company doesn't care, since they aren't willing to put out more copies and have NO issue with after market charging at least a 50% mark-up for it. So companies out there reading this, if you want me to buy your product and not turn to the "black market", you have to produce the product for me to buy it, and if you don't, ill go to the person that is....especially if they are offering it at a great price. rocket science I know.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@deagleknievel I won’t argue that

[@OddHands]

Had no idea the original Buffy was OOP, going to hug my copy tightly tonight lol

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

I picked up my Blu Ray copy of Buffy at a collectors fair here in Australia for $5 last year

[@thelastmoviestanding]

nice!!! I just got mine last year too for sound $7 I think

[@scottwhitt9379]

I saw one of these you did awhile back and I sold my copy of Tomcats for $125. I like the movie but I like $125 better.

[@rednax99]

I'm glad I picked up Ready or Not last year! I did not expect that to be hard to find after only 5 years. Although a sequel was announced, so maybe they'll make more.

[@HeroesReforged]

Had no idea READY OR NOT was on the list. But, it makes sense that all the 20th Century titles will be phased out of print now.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Yea it’s getting up there in price online, I’m glad I got it when I did a few years ago for $15

[@ChiefWiggum08151]

Over here in Germany the BluRay actually goes sealed and new for 8€, which is nearly the same in $.

[@CyberManor]

Alright I’m gonna look for some of these movies when I hit up a bunch of used media stores soon to make some dough on eBay lol

A few of these like Porkys i will pick up soon. Mad i didn’t pull trigger sooner on Heavyweights, that was still around $15 a couple months ago. Did find an OOP Ernest Scared Stupid on blu ray a few weeks ago for $8! That’s going for about $50+ on eBay.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@bosskhei yea I missed out on Earnest when it was cheaper

[@MrSirMang]

I think my most expensive bluray is probably Something Wicked This Way comes. Theres one for sale on Amazon right now...for almost 100 bucks. When it comes to VHS tapes I do own the Black Diamond 101 Dalmations(sealed) which ive seen all over the place when it comes to price so I have no idea what it is actually worth.

[@PhillwithadoubleL]

I literally picked up the dvd again for One Fine Day a week or so ago. Got sick of trying to find the blu ray at a reasonable price.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I just got my Blu-Ray in February for $12 & now pshhhh

[@DonStrand-d3x]

Ready or not is available for under $20 from New Zealand as well as the UK ON EBAY.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Yea I mentioned & showed reference to UK copy. Here in the US prices are doing crazy for it

[@Tenucha]

I blind bought Ready or Not new, at Walmart because I wanted to see the movie in theaters and because of Samara Weaving, after seeing her in Mayhrm and Ash vs Evil Dead. Holy shit. I clicked on this video because of seeing it in the thumbnail. Holy shit these prices are crazy. I still have Honey I Shrunk The Kids on DVD... it isn't a movie I watch often anymore as an adult so I wasn't looking for it on bluray but wow... I never saw Buffy and the rest I hadn't heard of

[@TheRealPhil88]

Someone Stole My Dvd Copy Of "One Eyed Monster"! It's Mad Rare Now & I remember buying It For Like $5

[@g3ckoizlethal]

Found Buffy on blu not too long ago at Half Price Books for decent price. Im kicking myself for not picking up Ready or Not on blu ray at Best Buy, before they stopped selling physical media. I saw one copy left and didnt think of grabbing it.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Yea I grabbed mine kinda late too, was waiting for it to go down but grabbed it for $15

[@g3ckoizlethal]

@@thelastmoviestanding Nice! Really enjoy your videos BTW. I'm really into finding OOP shit so it's cool to see a new video on the subject.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks man! I really appreciate the support. Yea I try to spread these out & I always love finding new OOP movies I have in my collection that are shockingly higher now month or years later

[@g3ckoizlethal]

@@thelastmoviestanding I just think collecting physical media is important, in general. They may not be around in 10 to 20 years. Best to collect as many as possible. Not to mention, who knows when/if ever any OOP titles will be printed again.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@g3ckoizlethal that’s sorta my mentality too, who knows where it will be in 10-15yrs. Yea right now it’s booming! But in 5 years… 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@physicalmediaman]

Might have to post my Buffy Blu. Didn't love it personally. Wasn't aware on Ready or Not either. I bought it the last year or so will have to watch it and decide what I want to do with it.

[@chuckstanway7240]

Lucas, license to drive, are 2 hard to finds

[@michaelcarver540]

I have the oop ready or not without the slip

[@bmaga123]

Good stuff, Brian. A couple I can think of are Lucas and License to Drive. I'm not sure why Corey Haim movies are so rare on blu ray!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks! Yea Corey has a lot still stuck only on VHS

[@LAvsMVP]

i just picked up Buffy through Amazon they have it stocked again and it shipped and sold from Amazon and says its the 25th so hopefully it's the right copy. I got it for 17

[@LAvsMVP]

Damn Ready or Not same thing I already owned that one but it looks like Disney put them back in stock? its shipped and sold by Amazon and its 20

[@LAvsMVP]

i wonder if it's part of them working with Sony now

[@Fight-Evil]

Man, I bought a clean looking copy of that 1992 US release of Buffy for $10 just a few months ago. I also got the Porky's double set for about $10 last year.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

same & same! bought Buffy used for $8-$10 I think, I remember looking for the pink cover, I didn't like the other. Porkys double set I bought new from a Kino sale for $10

[@bloodydominations992]

It’s always good to check non-US Amazon sites for titles that are hard to find. I wanted to get Blue Ruin, and people were asking up to $100 for it. I got it from Amazon UK for $14 including shipping. I’ve also been stocking up on my favorite Fox titles that are still available.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

100% agree. I always try to advocate for importing. Most of the time it’s cheaper

[@Ntvprd316]

I am pretty new to your channel and have been wondering if you would do a video about dvd/blu rays that have starred pro wrestlers. There is quite a few out there and curious if any of them are oop or if there is any value in them. I’ve tried to look but have nowhere near the knowledge as some.

[@Desman6]

Airheads. I was hoping for a 30th anniversary 4K,especially with Brendan's career in an upswing but heard nothing. The bluray is $200+usd. :(

[@thelastmoviestanding]

yea i know that blu-ray is crazy high, but I think Airheads is Fox... soooo Disney owns it

[@bayouboyentertainment2106]

Blu-Rays/Dvds are such a unpredictable market because unless their was a lawsuit so many movies that were once expensive slowly get reprints. Godzilla vs Biollante Blu-Ray that was $120+ just got an announced reprint after years sitting with Miramax and prices tanked down to $39. So I wouldn't be surprised if most FOX movies get a reprint unless they were super obscure. Something like Honey I shrunk the kids is going to eventually get a reprint I feel because of it's nostalgia and popularity.

[@MisterBrimm]

I got my copy of Ready or Not, watched it the other night. I managed to pick up a LOT of titles just before the became rare.

[@The_Horror_Collector1]

I didn’t realize Ready or Not was OOP until I watched it on streaming, liked it & went to find a copy to buy. Luckily the UK version is region free & can be found cheap so picked that one up.

[@douglasbriel6103]

I don't know if it's gone up, but a few years ago, I could only find Buffy in a two for one pack with Jennifer's Body. Luckily I like Megan Fox too.😅

[@BlurayBen]

Cool running in disney club on ebay is nearly 100 or more with postage I have that one. Please do more OOP videos dude.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks man! I’m trying to keep these spread out a little but it shocks me how much goes OOP when I check a few months later 🤯😵‍💫

[@snerfu]

This video made me break down and buy SpaceCamp for $54 after months of anguish.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@snerfu damn I’m shocked you found space camp for only $54 lol oop kinos are the worst

[@mistermojo1969]

I grabbed a brand new Black Hole blu ray when they were about thirty bucks secondhand. It goes for stupid money now. I also snagged a pawn shop copy of Near Dark about a month ago for three bucks. Love that movie (it should be commonly available), and it just fills my heart with joy to rip it out of the hands of a flipper (the same trip I got a blu ray of 48 HRS, which I never seem to see out wandering around). So that was a good day.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Niccceee!!! Near dark I believe is still overpriced online: never heard of Black Hole

[@mistermojo1969]

@@thelastmoviestanding It's a very unconventional Disney sci fi movie from 1979. It has a 1960s sort of feel to it. It was actually in theaters at the same time as Star Trek the Motion Picture. The Disney Movie Club had a blu ray and that was the only official HD release. Was really happy to score one.

[@hermansmallwood5407]

This made me seek out and purchase Buffy 😅 managed to get a double feature from Canada with Buffy and Jennifer's body, have you seen that pack before?

*I'm from the UK so the purchase was a Canadian import, around £30

[@Monkey_Boy9602]

I bought "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on BD in the final days of FYE for only $10. (I got it to watch with my daughter because she was a huge fan of Luke Perry in "Riverdale".) Crazy to see it so high right now! Disney has me so angry with them for their Members Only BDs. I"m glad that I managed to get "Mighty Joe Young" for only $18 a few years ago. The Blu-ray is now going for $75+! Just found out that the rights for "Dogma" have been released from the clutches of the Weinsteins and Kevin Smith is already making deals for it to get a physical disc and to start streaming. Hopefully we'll get it in 4K!

[@AchtungEnglander]

Remember when Blu Rays went cheap when Netflix become dominate....then half a dozen new subscriptions services joined the party each hording IP....then Blu Ray prices started heading north.

[@michaeldietz2648]

I think every movie is gonna be hard to get in the future because there are a lot of people that like collecting movies and for some reason, the powers that be keep on trying to remove physical media. I’m in New York City and I’ve been collecting movies for years. The problem is Best Buy doesn’t sell and now target isn’t selling them. The only place I could buy movies from Barnes & Noble’s and secondhand.

[@dravenlee4473]

The Buffy with the pink cover, they recovered a song playing from the Cult (lost the license) and replaced it with a generic pop song. Other than that, the transfer is the same. I definitely prefer the pink cover but it's not accurate to the original movie. Stick with the darker cover if you can find it.

No shit? I didn’t know that… I have the dvd & vhs as well, I’ll have to check & see the difference. Thanks for the info man I didn’t know that

If it's from Spain it's a bootleg. Apparently it's legal to do that there and there are actual companies that sometimes put out halfway decent stuff.
