DVD Boxset Addiction

Post Reply New Topic

Help! I have become totally addicted to buying more DVD boxsets. Nightmare. Think it is part of bipolar thing... compulsively buying things, not to say I don't buy things I want, but just within the last 10 days, I have bought:

Waking The Dead, Series 3
House, Series 1
Kung Fu, Series 1
Star Trek, TNG-Season 1, 2, 3 and 4 (all second hand)
Cadfael, The Complete set
Supernatural, Season 1
Battlestar Gallactica, Season 1
Star Trek, DS9, Season 1

I buy music DVDs
Styx, Black Sabbath, Dio, Genesis, etc

What do you suppose is at the root of this need to possess these things?

(I collect empty containers, jars, boxes...)

Boredom. Have you seen the network program line ups lately.

I collect those things too! I have never met anyone who shares that interst with me. Especially boxes, mostly wood, but I like glass jars too.

I have three shelves devoted to DVD boxsets.

Not individual DVDs, just boxsets.

As everyone knows and is probably sick of hearing of-I collect anime dvds only three are box sets.
I also collect Japanese porcelin and chinaware.

I love the weight and the individual slimline DVD cases you get in boxed sets.
The Star Trek ones are all so large too. IT is strange. I find individual DVDs messy and a waste of money but boxed sets...you can get like over 1000 minutes for the same price.

I have every available season of the following shows:

Cheers
Simpsons
Family Guy
Futurama
X-Files
American Dad
Samurai Jack
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
The Office
My Name Is Earl
Scrubs
Married With Children
South Park
Arrested Development
Greatest American Hero
The Tick
Undergrads
Dilbert
Firefly

I want to get the boxed set for Original Trek, season 3 as I have the first two.
Also want seasons 5-7 for TNG and the rest of DS9
And I want to get all the Jane Austen ones.
Plus Wire In The Blood, Messiah and Waking The Dead (Uk murder things)

The only box DVD's I collect are of the recent Doctor Whos series with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennent.

I have mainly indivual DVDs, but I do have some boxed sets and complete sets:

And other miscellaneous ones...

Love boxed sets also

All seasons of The X-Files ( love where the kid is a vampire,"Bad Blood" I think it is, and the baseball playing alien,"For the Love of the Game",the "Cops" one isn't too bad either)

But my Favorite of all time has to be "What the bleep do we know, down the rabbit hole, the quatum edition"
It's what I got all my co-workers for christmas.

I used to collect little tins, and boxes, once when me and my Future X to be was fighting when I came home from work he'd smashed them all up cause he knew it would hurt me more than his words ever would. (I'd learned in High School how to block out the words)Now that I'm away from him maybe I'll start collecting again.

Can't your computer play DVDs?

If the computer has a DVD-ROM drive.
