2018 End Of Year Update

Well, 2018 has flown by like no ones business.

I've been mostly biding my time collecting music of all sorts.  Nothing new there really.  I have may more than I know what to do with.  I am in the process of archiving it.  I'm up to 112 DVDs full of stuff which is up to the letter R.  Of course, I now have a 'take 2' folder collecting stuff which missed the first pass.  It's a bit much.

Also, I added 3 more movie sets to the Stupid Movie Collection.

Back in April I added two more sets which were pretty much the last ones I wanted to collect. The first is Box Office Gold.  Out of 50, this set had 12 movies that I still did not have. This is one of the few 50 movies box sets which was not contained on 12 discs and instead was on 13 discs (similar to the All Stars Collection).  I had been eyeing this one for a while, but the price point was always around $30 which I refused to pay.  Eventually, I saw it pop up for $10 shipped and I nabbed it.  It was in pretty good condition with the exception of one minor tear on the cardboard box right where the velcro closure is (which is common).

In short order, at the end of April I purchased the Family Fun 50 movie pack.  This one came in a cardboard box. Based on my research, this one had 12 movies that I did not have yet.   Once a set gets below 10 movies  that I don't have, I pretty much ignore it since the price point to get those remaining 10 or less movies just doesn't make sense unless I can get it for under 10 bucks which is difficult (but not impossible) to do. I nabbed this one for $11 bucks shipped so it just squeaked in under the dollar per movie (that I don't have) threshold that I've set for any remaining sets I don't have yet.

The last one I got was from my wife for our anniversary, Great Adaptations.  I originally thought this was pretty much the Historic Classics set repackaged, but about only 15 came from that set.  The others came from a smattering of other sets.  The interesting thing about this set is that it comes with a code so you can get a digital copy straight from Mill Creek.  Interesting!

This past year has definitely been trying with the sister-in-law having to have a quadruple by pass and then moving in to our house, the daughter having to get braces and the father-in-law passing away.  Plenty else has gone on as well which has put strains on everyone.  But I guess that's how life goes.  Hopefully 2019 has a lot less suckage in store for me, my family and the in-laws.

Take care everyone!
