Hey all,

I ran across some killer deals on some UHDs from a video store deciding to sell off some of their inventory.

The problem with this is that I am not getting the full retail package and contents. It’s generally just the 4K disc and the case. Some of them are just in a generic rental case the video store used (no artwork, non-standard case). Most have scratches and things, but I’ve only found one that I couldn’t get to play fine after cleaning the disc.

The deals are good enough, I feel it’s worth it, and I’ve nearly doubled my UHD collection in the past week. However, because of these missing all the extra discs, and sometimes even the cases, I’m hesitant to add them to my collection on here. It feels weird, like I don’t really own them...or something in that vein, that I’m unable to articulate. I hope all of this makes sense.

So, having said all that, what do all of you think?
Are you fine with owning just the 4K disc and case?
What about just the 4K disc?
Should I add these to my collection on here?

Any thoughts or input is appreciated.
