I went to one of the last electronic-supply stores here in the San Francisco Bay Area last weekend, and they had a few blank Super VHS tapes in stock, so I bought two of them just in case I want to play with VCRs again any time soon.

They also had two BCT-30MA Betacam SP blank tapes that will work in my ED Beta VCR, so I bought those too.

Fun near-antique technology!

I've got the same Macross video tape you're talking about, except I've only got one of the 3 tapes from that set. I've also got Bubblegum Crisis on VHS (the whole series) that a friend of mine gave me years ago when I was first getting into anime. :thmbsp:

I wouldn't give up yet. Depending how it was mailed, bulk media rate or whatever, it might still show up.

Dude111 10-21-2023 04:40 PM

Dude111 12-28-2024 06:23 AM

Dude111 02-22-2025 12:58 AM

I last got "THE TOWERING INFERNO" (1974) on VHS :)

The first 1979 Magnetic Video Release.........


EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!

Dude111 04-05-2025 01:30 AM

I last ordered these 2 movies

1) Payback - 1998 (DEMO)
2) Firewall - 2006

I didnt know Firewall was put on VHS as most stuff stopped in 2005.... But thats only in the USA I guess...... The ebay auction said VHS stuff was pretty strong in S. Korea until about 2010............ And amazingly most of thier stuff is NTSC!!

That opens up alot of possiblities like getting Saw 3 - 6 on VHS!! (I have 1 and 2) (Maybe 7 also)

Its gonna have Korean subtitles but man the video and audio should be much better than it is on my Digital cable copy I have!! (I do not like it at all)

Dude111 04-12-2025 01:34 AM

On Friday I got 2 VHS tapes :)

1) Richard Marx Concert of his first album (I also have the record and cassette)
2) Firewall - 2006
