Did some research on it. My only gripe... the poster is folded. Would've looked great on my wall.

Worth the $80 bucks.
Does everybody just not give a fuck about this set or something?

You just spent 80 dollars on wine coolers. Forgive me for not taking you seriously here.

if you follow the link, it looks like it's $60 not $80. though it also says it's out of stock temporarily too.

80 bucks is a lot. Especially since I already own each movie in some form. That's a lot for an upgrade

They put four box sets out there back when it was released. I went back to pick up mine and it sold one. I live in a very "what is horror movie??" kind of town.

I'm so grateful for Netflix/Prime because I used to totally buy shit like this all the time. That money is gambling money now.

That's a lot for an upgrade I haven't watched my copies yet, but people who reviewed it said the transfer to blu ray was fantastic. So that was one selling point. The reversible poster and reversible cover art were a plus, it also has a bonus disc and it comes with a pretty cool book about the history of Phantasm.

You'd rather rent and be at the mercy of the company who decides what you can and can't watch? I rarely splurge, I sure as hell am not funding netflix, and this box set was worth the rare splurge. Also a plus to know I'm helping out Don and the rest of the Phantasm team. Netflix can eat wieners.

It was one of the most boss things I've ever read.

I've gotten a couple free trial offers that I used and I was grateful for, but I spend quite a bit more time looking for shit to watch than actually watching. Plus, the stream is only as strong as your internet will allow it to be. I don't like relying on second and third party things to watch movies or TV. Physical media will always win with me.

Phantasm Marathon Been a while since I've marathon'd the franchise. And I haven't seen Ravager, yet. The box set is incredible and admiring it on the shelf over the last week has only made me eager to start the series up. I just popped in the first, and holy shit, the transfer to blu-ray is incredible. I've always read about transfer issues to blu-ray on a lot of older films, which is one of a few reasons I've stayed away from blu-ray, but this is far exceeding expectations of a good transfer. This box set is so worth it, bros.
