Debating if I should hit a few Walmart locations today in NY to see if they’ve got any $5 Steelbooks. I swear it’s a freaking urban myth!

Just like the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes steelbooks. Been to several Wal-Marts looking for them but all I find is the ridiculous merchandise box. Unfair that I can't have one when I'm probably one of the biggest fans of the film out there.

I’ll keep a lookout for ya. Been out a while though.

Double points at Jersey Mike’s today!

I do have 2 open slots on my A-List but I've been to the movies so much there's nothing out at AMC right now that I can really justify a third trip to El Paso this week just to see. Probably need to keep the trips to El Paso down to 1-2 a week and definitely not for films I've seen before that I could just see again at the local chain. It's finally quarter 2, hopefully our Jersey Mike's out by my brother's high school will open soon.

You were saying?

[Batman1980]

Yeah I have that one, the one I want is the exclusive that comes with all the bells and trinkets. However that one appears to be gone, forever beyond my reach.

I was dragging my laptop out of the car for (I think) the first time since February 6th. Found the controller and the sleeve, almost didn't find the charger. For a moment there I thought I must've accidentally left it at RII on my last day there and had a mild panic attack. So glad I found it so I can play my PSP games and not have to order another one.

Nah, I may get the $25 box instead. I like the hat and the dog tag and I could probably use the stickers on my retractable ID lanyards.

Anyone into vinyl at all? I was going to post in that thread, but I purchased a super noisy used record. Upon further inspection I noticed scratches on both sides. Any way to clean those up or am I screwed?

[Batman1980]

I never got into vinyl, I don't even like cassettes or CD's. I love MP3s because I can listen to those on my hearing aids, on the car system and with my ear buds.

Colored vinyl is what finally pushed me into purchasing a turntable.

[Batman1980]

I imagine they cost as much as Laser Disc so I'm out lol, although it could be nice to have some of the rarer albums on a niche media.

[sfmarine]

Pretty close.

You do see a lot of the albums being re-issued on vinyl in deluxe box sets as well. Mondo Shop is probably my fav place to snag up the colored variants. Prices can be reasonable but you have to be quick as they sell out fast.

It’s funny that Best Buy no longer sells movies but they’ve still got vinyl lol.

BB just won't die, CC seemed to go out a lot faster than they did. Just waiting for their inevitable going out of business sales to snag cheap 4K films and BD TV box sets.

[sfmarine]

I give them 3 years. They need to completely reimagine their business model and fire the CEO.

[LordoftheRings]

I grew up with vinyl. I grew up with spinning records and flipping sides. I grew up with dropping the needle.

Today albums cost fifty bucks on average; back then five bucks ... inflation.

High maintenance turntables and the entire ritual; it's like voodoo exorcism.
For fun there's nothing else.

Eventually, the only businesses that will always be primarily brick and mortar and secondarily online are bespoke clothing and shoe makers. All of these businesses, globally, will be limited to Europe, Hong Kong and Japan, where 70% of sales (most of that America) will be export and 30% domestic.

Other than that, all businesses will, eventually, always be primarily online and secondarily brick and mortar.
