https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/2648- ... -1954-1975? A bit rich for my blood at $180 pre-order ($225 retail) but this is something I will have my eye on to pick up later. I managed to get the Zatoichi set brand new for $105 and that retailed for $200.

If you are getting them for cover art then you will want to get one or the other, or really the best looking cover of the 2 versions of Japanese released discs. When looking for something like Godzilla vs Mothra then this is the best version on LD to own Mothra vs Godzilla: Limited Edition (1964) [TLL 2435]As for PQ most are the same, they just differ with Digital audio or Analog only. I know they are not Godzilla films. The only Toho film that I owned both the analog only and digital remaster was King Kong vs Mechakong (1967) [TLL 2073]King Kong vs Mechakong (King Kong Escapes) (1967) [TLL 2386]The first version actually had better picture quality and was cropped a little more on the remaster. But the remaster had a really nice sheet with cutouts of some type, I can't remember if they were finger puppets or what right now.

substance wrote: Twice a year barnes and noble and criterion online %50 sales, that’s 4 sales a year. Just buy it in one of these sales and it will be $100. This is $225 list so wouldn't it be $112.50? But anyway that's my plan. I almost always buy from Criterion directly because it builds me up to $50 coupons per $500 spent. I'd have to get B&N credit at 89% or better to best that, which isn't very likely.

I seem to be missing Godzilla VS Megalon and Godzilla VS Biollante (which I think is the only one I have not seen and apparently rare) BDs

Original run, 85, Biollante and King Ghidora end. I disagree massively. The 90s Mothra is magical, the way the plots of Mechagodzilla II and Ghidra tie together is one of my favorite things in all of Godzilla. I’m honestly more of a Heisei era fan in general. I got bored of the CG era stuff and quit watching.
