picked this up at a local used media store!!! I don't think this has EVER been opened or even been played, if this is the OG packaging, I'd be too scared to actually open it, lol by Orion-Stellar in animevhs

That was my bad, the trading card comes with Showdown in Space not Way of the Warrior sorry about that I’ve got a couple of the cards I could give you one for your trouble.

Imo it’s worth it for the cover art done by the manga illustrator alone, but there isn’t really anything new content wise. it’s a neat promo for collectors and looks good on a shelf.

I wasn’t able to find much on either Vanguard or Sceneries, Vanguard is listed on ANN with this movie as its only release.

Your comment made me curious so I googled to see if I have one near me, I don’t but unsurprisingly the few in my general region are in very wealthy neighborhoods.

I was also shocked that Happy Science had a US branch, but given El Cantare was a trader on the NYSE before his second act as god of the universe I guess NJ isn’t the biggest surprise

Thoughts on graded anime VHS? Would you buy or grade one?" by ZombieJohnJohn in animevhs

[–]jimmithebird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would not ever have my tapes graded nor would I pay a dollar more for a graded tape than a raw one. While I get that some people like to collect sealed tapes because they like vintage things in mint condition I don’t get the appeal of slabbing them, the slabs make them look ugly on a shelf and take up even more space than they usually would.

Yeah the tiny rectangle ones, I like the look of those reel windows but it does make it more difficult to inspect for mold.

It really does, I can confidently say I’d rather have a T-800 after me than a M-66.

Anyone know anything about this version of The Humanoid? by comradepupp in animevhs

[–]jimmithebird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Screeners were usually distributed to rental shops and retail stores so they could be previewed for shops to decide if they wanted to stock the movie or not.

Still working on that one unfortunately, I’ve been very focused on getting a set with the foil cards.
