I reakon I watch this twice a year. At least lol

Ever since the DVD first came out
I have 2 or 3 different DVD editions, but they're boxed away in my "box room" and I have zero idea which box they're in... would probably take me another 10 years to go through them all to find it. :LOL:

I'll definitely be watching it at least once a year when this edition is released though! :D

Ha, thee ol' box room. We spoke about this before I know what you mean lol

I've never seen the directors cut though (I don't think) and although I hear bad things I'll still give it a go

I might have to cancel this anyway and order roughly 5 days after release. Hopefully stays in stock a couple of days

Haha yeah... I'm sure every collector has one. A mate of mine puts all his boxes in the loft and tells his family that it's to help with the insulation. :rofl:

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I've ever seen the DC either. I'll probably check it out too, despite all the warnings... curiosity always gets the better of me. :p

I expect it to stay available for a little while at least, but as you know... these things can never be predicted. Fingers crossed though!

I'm the same. Missed out on the Vincent Price set a few years back as it was just too near Christmas. So I suspect I'll be picking up the standard version only like the Vincent Price films.
 
Mine shipped from Zavvi this morning... completely forgot I ordered it with them rather than Amazon. Hopefully it arrives packed better than my Assault on Precinct 13 set was! :ohno:
