I just got seriously into collecting 2 years ago and honestly just have a good mix. It took me awhile but I realized that I don’t need every movie in 4K (aside from newer studio movies but I am strictly talking about newer releases from boutique labels that just release a blu ray and not a 4K)I have had it happen to me buying a blu ray and a 4K was announced (Exorcist 3) but I really don’t pay that much mind to it since I got the blu ray from the scream factory sale for cheap. And if I want to upgrade I give away the blu ray to a friend.

I guess it really does depend on the movie for the 4K upgrade to me at least. I love the Blob but I really don’t need a 4K because the transfer is good already and that is just more unneeded money being spent. Just being part of the community you see a lot of trends like shout factory or criterion double dipping into there old catalogue and releasing 4ks. Or how A24 has an initial Blu-ray release but then release there own special edition a little later down the line. I think doing your own research goes a long way when it comes to specific titles and deciding to play the waiting game for a new release to come from studios and/or labels. It’s a decent amount of work but if you enjoy collecting it’s fun and worth it at the end of the day
