I Just Bought … (the SW Shopping Diary)

Maybe they got him mixed up with George Martin

Had an uneventful, quiet, and enjoyable birthday this past weekend (I’m 33 years young btw). Since the Blu Rays releases thus far have been a little dry, at least in terms of what I like myself, here’s one of the items I treated myself to.

Believe it or not, I got this for 14.97 Euros from the normal price of 40 something originally at the time. So $23.25 US for 4 movies is a great deal.

Lovely set that one! I got it for a similar price years ago and I only bought it for Taste of Killing - one of my favourites! The other films were a nice bonus.

Where did you order it from ? - as it’s still expensive at Amazon

I bought my copy last September for 47 Euro, and even so it must have been the cheapest SWs per movie for me ever . I bought it mostly for Taste Of Killing (34 on my Top 40, 6/10), but I came to like My Name Is Pecos a lot better which is ranked 22 on my SW top 40 and rated 7/10. The other two are OK as well at 6/10. I have already have watched them some 3-4 times each. I hope you like them as well !

I’m sure I will. I got it mainly for 1000 Dollars on the Black and A Taste of Killing, but Robert Woods impressed me so much with Black Jack I decided he’s an SW icon I should check out more of his films.

I got it from Amazon Germany about mid February before they put everything in isolation and postponment due to COVID-19. They had it at something like 90% off. The cheapest I had seen it previously was 22.45 Euros.

Wait a bit and it will get down there again. It’s done that several times in it’s 6 year life span. Either that or it will go OOP :slight_smile:

Cheapest I saw it for was 11 Euros

I was planning on ordering The Hellbenders blu-ray by Kino from the US but wondering now if would even get across the border.

why would it not? trade in goods has not been suspended

These are “uncertain” times everyone keeps saying. I hope you’re right.

That’s true… ordering stuff without tracking number is always a risk, but you would have to order a few more things for it to be worth the extra shipping cost… but then you might run into customs issues…

I just got this goodie. I ended up paying more than I’ve paid for any single dvd/bd disc so far but I’m glad I got it before it’s sold out.

I’m confused. Are you saying it’s going out of print?

I dunno but amazon.com listed only used options. I ordered it from amazon.ca.

I ordered this today used from a seller on ebay here in Canada. I had it on my wish-list for almost 2 years. I figured I might as well buy what spaghetti westerns I can from here in Canada.

No it is available directly from amazon.com also. You just have to explictly choose it. The Amazon sites are broken these days.

It’s never been cheap though, new or used. Prices are pretty irritating nowadays.
