THE INCOMPLETIST - The Sandbaggers

 Exploring my DVD collection and my addiction to owning complete sets.  Shows and movies I want to own on DVD, but can't....

The Sandbaggers is a ITV SPY series from 1978 - 1980, focused more on the head of a Special Operations department, rather than the work for field agents, so it's a political drama more than an action series.

THE INCOMPLETIST - Birthday Wishlist

Exploring my DVD collection and my addiction to owning complete sets.  Let's look at sets I need to help complete sets.


Usually, The Incompletist is about things I want to own on DVD but can't get.  However, with today's my Birthday, and so I thought I'd post a "Birthday Wishlist".  Things I don't own on DVD, not because I can't get them, but rather because I just haven't got them yet.  Perfect for gifts!  (He hints, knowing that since it's today there isn't enough time for anyone to get them for me.  So here they are after the jump in no particular alphabetical order:

Dexter - Season 8.

THE INCOMPLETIST - Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon



DVDs I want to own but cannot find.  This time:  Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006), a post modern part-mocumentary slasher flick/slasher parody.


THE INCOMPLETIST - Introduction

DVDs I want to own, but can't find.

This blog is to detail the films and series that I want to own but cannot get on DVD.  If you see a copy around, send me details in comments.  Just remember the following guidelines:

  • Must be Region 4 friendly.  Maybe my DVD player or computer's player allows other regions, but some of them let you change a couple of times before locking on a region and I don't want that.  And I don't want to take a DVD around to a friends to watch and find that their player won't play it.  This means if you can find it outside Oceania/South & Central America I probably won't be interest.
  • Although I haven't really moved to Blu-ray yet (the thought that I might start to want to convert my entire collection scares my wallet), I'd consider it for films/shows.  However, the region rule applies (must be Region B).
  • Used is fine.  Ex-rental also good.  As long as it's playable, obviously.
  • Foreign release is fine, as long as region rules apply and it's in English if it originally was or has English subs if it was originally in a foreign language.
  • It price has to be reasonable.  I don't need cheap copies, these are things I'm really interested in owning.  However, some stupidly high price because the DVD is discontinued isn't going to cut it.
