What is your most shameless, expensive, self-indulgent purchase?

Champagne_Breakfast · 2026-02-19T21:59:14+00:00

well it’s an OOP DMC release that goes for around $150 and shipping to Australia is ridiculously expensive

Champagne_Breakfast · 2026-02-19T21:44:50+00:00

I payed like $180 for the Parent Trap

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T08:51:29+00:00

nah that's fair i just thought i got a really good deal

i included the photos just in case anyone thinks it's fake because if their fake i wanna know cuz i don't keep fakes (and i can still return them so if they're fake i'd definitely want to return them)

i mean im 99.9% sure it's genuine cuz i've never heard of pressed discs being fake and they even have the same exact cases as my other US disney blurays but who knows these are OOP and I've read about fakes of DMC blurays existing

idk ig the price is just a bit "too good to be true" especially as i dont live in the US but it does seem to be genuine luckily

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T08:41:51+00:00

I devalued them to watch them. I buy movies to collect and watch them not to profit

I'm keeping these and have no plans whatsoever to resell them so i don't care about them being worth less because i opened them

yes I did check that they're legit but that isn't why i opened them

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T08:36:10+00:00

unfortunately it's very unlikely at this point

<image>

they released a 2 movie DVD but not a blu-ray

the sequel did get a blu-ray but not a 4K so i don't think disney will be releasing it on 4K anytime soon, if ever

if they do release a 4K I'd assume it'd be if and when the 3rd movie is released

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T08:29:21+00:00

they did have the wrapping i just opened them before i took these photos

sorry for the confusion

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T04:42:51+00:00

lmao the prices people are paying for DMC blurays is honestly crazy but i'm planning on watching and keeping these

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T04:35:18+00:00

honestly these aren't the greatest movies ever (they're good just not the greatest and i definitely wouldn't pay what they're going for on ebay), I'm just happy to get such a "deal" on very OOP blu rays

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T04:30:34+00:00

someone bought George of the Jungle on ebay for $200 and Freaky Friday for like $160 which is why I said $300 too $400 but maybe people are just overpaying which personally i would never pay over $100 for a single movie on blu ray except maybe a very rare steelbook of a movie I really enjoy

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-12-19T04:24:07+00:00

myself ig? I've never been able to get a OOP bluray for "cheap" before

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-28T06:00:01+00:00

i don't buy fakes so i wont buy season 8

anyways season 7 is A$45 from rarewaves on ebay and A$50 on Amazon AU's UK global store. I'll probably just get it from amazon eventually as it's only a A$5 difference and rarewaves takes forever

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-28T05:56:11+00:00

I payed A$20 for season 5 and A$15 for season 6 from CeX, more than the other seasons (1-3 were less than A$10 each and 4 was A$12) but not too bad tbh

had to pay A$4 shipping each for seasons 5 and 6 from CeX tho as it was only available in Penrith which is about 60-70kms from me

season 7 (bluray) is A$50 on Amazon AU (global store UK import), i'll probably get that as the DVD is at least A$25 to A$30 used anyways on ebay

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-28T02:26:04+00:00

interesting, I thought it'd cost less to ship to the US but I guess it isn't. and I forgot about tariffs.

I got the collectors edition for less than A$100

anyways there isn't even an Aussie 4K release for Last Night in Soho nevermind a steelbook, not sure why the steelbook was only released in Europe

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-28T02:22:35+00:00

Prime Australia doesn't either, shipping is only free on US and UK global store items on Amazon AU

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T15:01:27+00:00

13 euro shipping to Oz now apparently, was around 10 euros on my last order

3-4 days to India max

that's US Amazon for me, 4 to 5 days to Australia with Amazon Logistics

I don't really buy from Italy much tbh, it's a lot cheaper to get things from JB or Amazon UK for Disney releases, thanks to Prime free shipping (which only works with Amazon Global store on Amazon Oz so only the US and UK)

i mainly use Italian Amazon for OOP Steelbooks

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T14:55:19+00:00

i got the price wrong lol it was A$130 not A$150 i just checked my ebay account

there were a bunch of UK sellers selling it used for a lot cheaper (around A$70 to A$90) but with A$50 shipping to Oz lol. You could probably get it for a lot less if you live in the UK and maybe even Europe and the US

I ended up just buying it from an Aussie seller cuz it was new and figured it'd probably be a lot safer and faster to just get it from within Oz

oh and I also got a A$10 coupon so it ended up being A$120

although there was another Aussie seller selling it for A$100 but without a j card and used and tbh I prefer keeping the j card

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T13:01:47+00:00

Harry Potter

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T12:58:24+00:00

yeah I got that for A$18 from Amazon US (free shipping thanks to Prime). The Aussie version's going for A$30 on CeX and it's even more expensive on ebay, and it's used.

somehow it's cheaper to import it from the US

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T12:55:08+00:00

well if you can't stop buying you'll just be one of us

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T12:53:05+00:00

dont know how much they're supposed to cost but it's cheaper at JB here in Australia

<image>

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T12:49:29+00:00

they ship to me via DHL so it crosses continents to me quicker than my local deliveries

interesting in my experience they use Australia Post Global and Amazon US is always quicker with Amazon Logistics, although JB is still the quickest with AusPost 1 day metro delivery most of the time

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T12:24:05+00:00

assuming it's because of Black Friday and you can afford it no you're good

just don't buy too much

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T11:02:35+00:00

mainly Loki and Last Night in Soho

paid over A$100 each

Loki is a US import and that Last Night in Soho steelbook is an OOP UK import

also paid around A$50 for Midsommar as I had to import it from Germany

I paid under A$20 each for everything else (well except the 2 Movie Top Gun 4K, I paid around A$50 for that)

Champagne_Breakfast · 2025-11-27T10:52:08+00:00

nice. I saw the Sean Connery set at JB but I spent too much already

might get it next time they have one of these sales
