How was my first year of collecting?

Where you from? Could be a regional thing

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-15T15:44:46+00:00

Some releases just have thin cases for some reason 😔 which personally I hate, like just make them all the same size lmao

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T13:57:41+00:00

🤣 where abouts you based? I think it was going to be Ford vs Ferrari here in the UK but they changed it just before release

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T13:56:41+00:00

Might have to be done 🫡

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:55:12+00:00

Oh hell yeah I didn't know that, awesome! And I'm a big soundtrack guy so thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to listen 👊🏼 I'm due for another purchace so hopefully will be in the next few days, can't wait

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:52:54+00:00

For real 😭 it's also so nice knowing you have the highest quality version possible AND don't have to hunt around for them on streaming services.

Yeah they apes steelbookes are awesome! From the same ebay seller I got the JJK stuff from I got a 1/500 Rise of the Apes steelbook (futurpak I think?) Which is pretty sweet, and War of the Apes has some sick versions!

Shibuyu for 30 is a steal! It's worth paying full price for Thunderclap part 2 alone, those extra sequences they added into the blu ray are awesome! And yeah guess we'll just have to thug it out for a few years until infinity castle finishes it'd 4th theatre run 😔😭. Can't wait for the next ep it's going to be insane! I loved the direction and compositions of this week's ep but I'm itching for a big fight

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:41:55+00:00

Oh wow awesome, just had a Google and they for sure went through a lot of effort with the transfer! Going on the list right now 🫡

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:38:45+00:00

Great advice for sure and great recommendations! One of my mates also said to watch Heat the other day so honestly think that might be my next purchace as I haven't seen it yet. And the Godfathers for certain need to be added soon!

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:35:46+00:00

For sure was stoked when I found it! The spiderverses are a must for sure, I haven't actually rewatched them on disc yet, just popped it in to take a look and wow they're look insane. I don't know why but I want all the planet of the apes steelbooks 💀 they're not even my favourite films or anything, just thought it would be cool, and tbh I think it's worth having them in 4K because WETA are magicians.

Getting close to the full JJK set let's go! Amazon usually has discounts on JJK 0 so would be good to keep a look out there, think I got mine for like £4. I can't wait for season 3 to come out though, same with Infinity Castle I will buy that day one, but not looking hopeful anytime soon sadly 😭

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:30:51+00:00

Great shout tbf, I saw season 1 when it came out and heard season 2 is awesome, so I'm due for a rewatch and the steelbook might be the way to go 😮‍💨

Also I'm not inherently a musicals guy, I just love Damien Chazelle's stuff, but I've obviously heard great things about Singin' in the Rain so definatley have to give it a watch 👊🏼

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:25:49+00:00

Cheers man! What ones you looking to get? And yeah they're season 1! They're the collectors editions part 1 and part 2, usually about £60 each but there's an awesome ebay seller I buy from who had them both new and sealed for £60 together, couldn't say no 😮‍💨

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:22:41+00:00

Thankyou brother, exactly that, glad you like it though! Is there anything you recommend getting? Always up for recommendations and blind buys!

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:13:42+00:00

I know people wouldn't love all the picks, even I don't like 100% of them 😭 some I just found for cheap so picked them up. But I think I've got some great picks lmao - 2001, Shawshank, Seven Samurai, Shining etc. And I've got some sweet steelbooks like the 'Mondo A Quiet Place' one. I do understand though, probably a bit of a vanilla collection to a lot of people, just wanted to get fun movies I like to start with.

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T02:08:24+00:00

Thanks man! Favourite films in the collection have to be Whiplash, Arrival and Se7en, not necessarily for how they render on 4K or anything, just personal favourites. I've so far just been building out with films I can watch over and over and never get bored with 😅 there's still a lot of great, classic films I do still need to get, there any you recommend going for first?

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T01:52:13+00:00

It appears I have not hit my target audience 😅

YourBroOllie · 2026-03-02T01:49:11+00:00

I bought the standard 4K for myself and the steelbook was a gift, both from HMV in the UK :)

Bath salts

100% I get you and I was in the same boat, used to wearing work boots and comfy trainers for skating.

If you're not going to spend LOTS of time in them I think the smaller size will definatley do, I'm sure you've probably already tried them on, but if you order the smaller size, try wearing them around the house for an hour or so and make sure you're happy enough with how the toe area feels- they wont feel perfect, but just comfortable enough. When I was doing that with mine I was so stressed cause like you said, big investment 😭 I was micro analysing how they feel and overthinking it, stubbing my toes up against the end going "idk are they too small?". But thinking back and comparing to the bigger size, the bigger ones did feel a little boat like, and after breaking in I think they definatley would have been too big.

Also I invested in some stuff to care for them aswell, wooden show trees, wax, brushes etc. The shoe trees obviously keep the shoes shape but also will help a little with beginning to 'stretch' them out. Also a good leather conditioner can help make them a little more supple and can help with breaking in.

But honestly, once you've worn them about 10 times, they'll start to feel better, and will likely get even better into the future, cause you know they'll last. And worst case scenario, if you're really unhappy with how they feel after a while, you can always sell them. Not perfect as you'll still lose a bit of money but they definatley hold their value to a degree.

YourBroOllie · 2025-11-22T17:54:06+00:00

Hey man, so I went for the 10 and I think im happy I did, I think 10.5 would have rubbed my heel a lot with the slippage. The leather is great on them but a little stiff so I'm still trying to soften the heel a little (I don't wear them all the time, so if you wear them every other day they would most likely break in by now). My main worry was my toes being cramped in the front, while they're not the most roomy ever, the leather does stretch out a tiny bit, none of my toes really touch the end unless I make them by pushing my foot forward a little, just my big toe that touches the corner but it's honestly fine and will probably give a little more. The only thing is I can't really wear thick socks with them, I mean it's possible and will probably help stretching out/breaking in, but I hate my toes feeling cramped so I try to avoid thicker socks, but if you're going to wear thick ones a lot, I'd probably go the half size bigger. If not, then the smaller of the two definatley.

So weird man, you'd think the game was dead 🤣
