BDs That Are Out of Print (OOP)

I believe it can be had at Walmart (in the dump bin) for $7.88. I just saw it within the last week or so...now you have me wanting to dig through that damn thing again.

Edit: Available via Foxconnect as of this post for just $9.99...but this has me wondering if 20th Century Fox is ceasing fulfillment of catalog titles to retailers. Perhaps these will be gone before we know it. Am I paranoid? You bet. I also know that WB shop has been handed over to third party control and some titles are slowly disappearing from that website.

Just acquired minty copies of Anchor Bay's original release of Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, Man of Steel (Target Digibook exclusive), and Lionsgate's Near Dark. I am spending my cash as fast as I can earn it to grab up some of these rare titles. I suppose my pursuit may be unnecessary, but I'm not taking any chances as long as I can find them super cheap.

I'm sitting at 34 myself with plans to pick up at lest another 5 that are still readily available.

Wow, and I thought the 21 I had was a lot.

Really looked at the list for the first time and I'm at 57. That's kinda cool. I'm glad I got the films I wanted when I did.

I just did a quick scan of the list and counted 80 that I have

Yikes.

I'm at 32 with 3 or 4 that I want still available...I have to make a point to pick them up now...

I was out of the game a few years due to working overseas, so I am playing catch-up on a lot of things. It's somewhat scary thinking there will be ones I don't get around to before they get too pricey to ever buy.

41 real OOP things, that number rises over 50 if we include stuff that was re-issued like Faculty and Godzilla vs Biolante. It also includes the question mark of Alien 2's actual status (gave it benefit of the doubt here), but does not include Jaws digibook as that disc not OOP, just that package. Really OOP only counted yo!

I hate that I still see a few things on list I want to try, but not sure if I want to buy anymore. Happy to have all my real wants covered though.

All of these have been replaced by non-limited versions

Yeah, I am on a collecting mission and using this thread to help me prioritize my pursuits. Occasionally I love hunting through the pawn shops and reseller locations on my days off. This past weekend I scored "The Phantom (1996)" with Billy Zane and "Hard Rain" for $7.99 each used. Hell, at this writing Amazon marketplace sellers want $34.95 for "Hard Rain" and a whopping $90 for "The Phantom!!!!" I also recently aquired Anchor Bay's "Dawn of the Dead" for $9.99...current price on Amazon...$97.91—yikes! They are all guilty pleasures that I was excited as hell to find at these prices.

Thankfully Blu-rays are nearly never scratched and replacement cases are readily available for just a few cents. By shopping at various resale outlets and Amazon marketplace sellers I'm not in fear of a cheaper re-release. The original versions of these titles often have really cool graphics on the discs as well.

My next target: The Blue Underground version of "Bird with the Crystal Plumage."

Yeah, I did the same thing for a while. They were always on my wishlist, but I never got around to getting them, but I found The Phantom and The Relic for $3.99 each used a month ago (which I got them no money out of pocket due to store credit). I also found the LG version of Cujo on eBay for $10.

My only remaining desire on the list (which I doubt I will ever find...ever, for a decent price) is Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves with the slipcover.

Halloween triple feature is not OOP. We have them at work. Not sure if it's a re-release, but I doubt it.

It's a re-release by Lionsgate. Same disk, different studio. The original release is oop.

It is bolded, which means it was re-released.

Shouldn't The Third Man from Criterion be bolded as well then? It was released and is still available from StudioCanal.

Thanks to the OP for compiling this.

Anchor Bay's release of Heathers is long OOP, and accordingly their double feature of Sex And Death 101 / Heathers went OOP as well.
It was re-released on blu-ray by Image, minus special features.


Also, Severin's The Manson Family isn't OOP. Looks like it was a publicity stunt by Severin to move a few copies. About 2 weeks after their announcement that they would be recalling and destroying all remaining copies, it was back in-stock and widely available through all retailers.
