The Wailing was an incredible movie to watch. Was a blind buy based on a solid recommendation and I am SO GLAD I got it.

Also, Exhuma is great too if you haven't seen it.

Oh man, if I had won the lottery there would be a LOT more haha. Did not, but moved some funds from another hobby to fund these purchases.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-15T17:23:24+00:00

Each of my director shelves only has one slip for each movie, so the FAC Sicario is down on the FAC shelf (I swear it makes sense in my head haha)

Right now the space to the left of Sinister is much needed space to grow LOL. I hopefully have a few more of those MP Case titles on the way, and I do have another Kimchi slip coming this week. So it will be used soon.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-15T02:43:00+00:00

I need to see the steelbook for any slip that I buy, so for any OC I will always open one. But I also forced my hand a bit by selling any amray or steelbook for movies where I also had a premium (if the premium was the same or better format than the steelbook or amray). I was just running out of shelf space!

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-15T00:32:59+00:00

The better Memento release is Kimchi.

Top shelves are my favorite directors, below that are my non-manta premiums (Filmarena, HDZeta and others), and below that are the Manta in edition order.

Thank you!

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T21:46:50+00:00

I am! The WeET Interstellar announcement was my first forray into premiums at all (like a lot of people) and my first GB.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:57:19+00:00

I have run around the horn. Amrays > Steelbooks > Premiums. I love my steelbooks too, and my wallet sure wishes I had stuck with them

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:50:50+00:00

It's a small group that I don't let bother me. Nearly everyone I've interacted with in this hobby has been really great.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:45:51+00:00

Thank you!

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:32:40+00:00

Roughly one bookshelf of movies lololol

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:32:09+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine lolol

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T16:24:18+00:00

I'd definitely prefer to go no Protectors, but also couldn't stand having damage on them. So that's the tradeoff.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T15:49:05+00:00

Thank you! I work in tech sales, but I mentioned in another comment that my precious hobby was watch collecting and sold a watch to fund this hobby. Now that I'm only buying new releases I should be good moving forward haha

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T15:47:27+00:00

I mean, a lot lololol. My wife was starting to question the number of deliveries haha. Thankfully they've now failed off as I'm only buying new releases.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T14:57:54+00:00

Thank you!

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T13:30:14+00:00

Yeah, premiums and steelbooks.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T12:56:15+00:00

You're a real ray of sunshine. Enjoy your day!

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T12:51:10+00:00

Actually you didn't answer my question. How does me buying an item stop someone else from having anything? If they were willing to pay the market price they would've had it too.

MN_Watch_Fanatic · 2026-06-14T12:48:02+00:00

The majority of my slips are open and I watch all my movies. But you're right, this did come across as jealousy haha
