The "What Shit Have You Bought Lately" Thread?

The Art of Bond by Laurent Bouzereau. Found this today at the charity shop for only £2.50. Has a very sexy cover and sections dedicated to the girls, the posters, the books and the villains. I flicked through it earlier and there's hardly any mention of Timothy Dalton or his films. It's a bit strange. Apart from that, it's superb.

That vintage fancard finally came today. Jeez, it's smaller than I thought it would be!

Still, I have it now. One more crossed off the list.

Manimal. Not seen this early 80s fantasy adventure show about a suave hero with the ability to transform into animals in nigh on 40 years but just got the DVD. It's remarkable how well remembered it is given it got cancelled after just eight episodes! It will be interesting to see it again.

The War Games and Kamelion Tales from HMV.

I find it strange that whenever I go there they always have every Colin Baker story except The Two Doctors. The copy of The Two Doctors I have doesn't feature A Fix with Sontarans and the DVD introduction has the 2010 purple BBC logo instead of the old one. I bought that on the HMV site so I don't know why it's never in stock at my local store. I can only assume they withdrew the old DVD from sale and released a new version (without change to the cover) without the Saville video but don't sell it in stores anymore.

Bought a ton of crap lately - the blu ray sets of The A Team, Incredible Hulk and Kolchak, the Michael Caine Jack the Ripper on Blu and a couple of Blus of 80s movies including Gotcha with Anthony Edwards (never seen it) and Runaway with Tom Selleck (seen it but a loooooooooooooong time ago).
Can't beat the retro.

Found the blu ray of Ultra Q for a almost a 1/4 of its retail price on eBay.

Bloody bargain.

Going to buy The Essential Terrance Dicks Volume 2. This set includes his novelizations of Genesis of the Daleks, Pyramids of Mars, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Horror of Fang Rock and The Five Doctors. The last three interest me a lot. Even Genesis I reckon will be a good read.

Planning to get the "Thieves, Killers, Mercenaries, Psychopaths" short story collection for Blake's 7, mainly because they're publishing one of my short stories in it. I got "Scorpio Tales" last year for the same reason.

Spearhead from Space.... on Blu ray! One of defining stories of the 70s in superb quality. Season 7 is so bloody good.

Managed to pick up a Bridget Neighbours fancard. I didn't even know there was one, given she was never officially a regular, but it seems to have been produced for her 35th anniversary return in 2020 rather than for her main stint in 2004. Still didn't know it existed, so I snapped it up.
Cost a lot less than the other one I bought, thankfully!

Season 22 on Blu ray.  Good season generally but the main draw for me is seeing the delightful Peri in upscaled quality

Got the Bridget fancard. I've heard some people claiming some of these are fake.
Looks good to me.

The Invasion and Series 2 of NuWho.

The Invasion is obviously a classic. I bought Series 2 mainly for the Rise of the Cybermen two parter, Tooth and Claw and Love and Monsters. I now have Series 1, 2, 3 and Voyage of the Damned in my NuWho collection. I don't really like much the Moffat era (sorry) except some excellent episodes in Series 5 so probably won't buy any of those. I suppose I have a bit of nostalgia for Series 2 because it was my first full series of Doctor Who. Most of it is pants, but there's some OK stuff.

Going to treat myself to the Arrow Blu ray of Weird Science tomorrow as it's on sale. The previous version looked terrible, but apparently the Arrow one is a massive improvement.

Darn it, you almost got me excited for a moment there. I thought you said Wicked Science was getting a Blu ray.
