ziljin Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 My VHS collection. I guess not much of a collection, and half of the tapes aren't even here. But I wanted to share with everyone. VHS tapes not depicted Godzilla 2000, King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla King of the Monsters (US version of 1954 original). Feel free to discuss your VHS collection. Quote
Noworries Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I had master copies (pre-releases of the cinema version) from Star Wars Episode IV, V, VI. My uncle gave them to me when i was 9 years old. And now a warning: Not suitable for people below age of 18: When i moved away from my mum i forgot them. And she threw them in trash. With all my other VHS Tapes. She just didnt know the worth... Now i need another session at the psychiatrist... thanks a lot Quote
Siegfried Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Here's half of mine; This was just before I tossed it in here; The other half suffered the same fate. Sad to say VHS tapes are a lost cause. Play them and they wear out. Don't play them and they stick and cause magnetic imprints. In any case they degrade badly over time, so I tossed out 95% of mine prior to my last move. Since I spent hundreds on them it was a hard decision, but that's the way technology goes! (As a FYI, I still have my original tapes of anything potentially valuable, such as Star Wars. I doubt they'll play though. ) Quote
prateek Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 My mom still collects them. We probably have over 50 cassettes now Quote
Big Cam Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I personally owned about 13, and 3 of them were the back to the future movies, lets just say I still have those. Quote
The Who Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 VHS tapes not depicted Godzilla 2000, King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla King of the Monsters (US version of 1954 original).Lucky. I used to have a bunch of old Godzilla VHS's, but upon rearranging furniture, I lost them a few years ago. I miss them. Now all I have left is stacks upon stacks of Scooby-Doo, Disney, () and movies from the 90's, with a crappy DVD/VHS player that doesn't work half the time. Quote
ziljin Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Lucky. I used to have a bunch of old Godzilla VHS's, but upon rearranging furniture, I lost them a few years ago. I miss them.

Well they are somewhere in my house I think. Well a few were borrowed by my cousin and he let some friend borrow it and I never saw them again. Oh yea I also have Pagemaster somewhere. I thought the film as creepy when I was younger. Since I don't have that many VHS tapes, I don't feel the need to throw them out. At least not yet. Quote
KimT Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 A few years back I had some 80 VHS tapes, then I bought a HDD DVD and started copying the best of them. Now they've either been copied or trashed. VHS is gone for good and they also deterioate over time DVD isn't much better IMO, hopefully we'll get a better product soon. Quote

Commander Flash Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I used to have tons of VHS tapes. Classic times. Pokemon, Scooby Doo, and Rugrats. If only I kept them They need to make it so you load a movie on the player and then you can play it whenever, then you can download them on it. Unlimited movies on one player. Oh... thats a computer Quote
