Babylon 5 on VHS: A History

[Looney]

It is great fun to see the old VHS'es again. I got rid of mine when we had to move apartment and downsize somewhat. But colour me surprised! I've had many of the seasons on VHS, but always bought them second had so I never had any idea that they came with those great collectors photos.

Yes it is fun looking back at this stuff. Also annoying that I didn't get it back then.

Another issue I have is several sealed VHS Tapes that I don't want to open. Other than just being a more valuable as collector's item, sealed VHS Tape is going to be in better condition than tape that has been opened with contact to the elements. At least it should be less deteriorated.

The photo cards were store exclusives, and they are so hard to find now! Did you get the UK video releases in Sweden, or were they different?

And @Looney – there's some sealed videotapes up on UK eBay right now – I'm telling myself I don't need them.

I like collecting VHS. While I'd never watch them (I do still have a VHS recorder in a closet) – what's the point when we have the Blu-rays – there's so much nostalgia and history wrapped up in those video tapes. The videos were a big part of my teenage years. Though I won't get every episode on tape (no room!), I'm just going for the more scarce ones, the limited editions, those with exclusives and so on.

I think it was the UK ones we got here. I still got The Gathering VHS though. That original version seems hard to find these days. So I'm keeping that one
