1977 1,743 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Taking my cue from Josh500's thread about Top 5 most wanted expansions, what are your top 10 dream re-issues? Mine: Leviathan Raggedy Man Twilight's Last Gleaming MacArthur *batteries not included Thunderheart Jack the Bear Red Heat Stars 'n Bars 100 Rifles (preferably with better art than the old FSM) All the above were chosen for the simple fact that I missed them and they are now OOP and super-expensive.

1977 1,743 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm shocked to see what Poseidon Adventure and Chips are selling for on Amazon. Quartet may tackle Chips, they seem to work a lot with MGM and have done a few Williams (although this is technically Bricusse). Maybe I should look into selling my spare Chips off. Bespin, you probably know this already, but the RSNO Midway is available digitally. It's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 1,743 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 So what do you guys think is a realistic achievable price for Chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,481 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I just paid 57 $CAN dollars (48 $US) for Midway, shipping included. So I guess I would spend 60-65 $CAN on Chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I would like to own Ghostbusters, but I'm also okay having a downloaded copy. I don't need the CD in a box in my closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The LotR CRs are my absolute No.1 reissue, whether 100% replicas or redone, "corrected" editions. Iwas a few years late to the party when I first read the books and watched the movies in the summer of 2012, and only this year have I started to buy actual CDs. I also seem to have missed the original 2 disc BttF, and a reissue of that is not likely, seeing how only the first disc is being sold now (but even that's not on soundtrackcorner, and frequently out of stock on musicbox). I may have to get the other two before they "suffer" the same fate, but 3's price is pretty damn steep for 2 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess I would spend 60-65 $CAN on Chips. That's just 0.65 $CAN pr. minute! However, listening to it now, I'm reminded once again that the score is too short! When it starts getting excited we're suddenly at the End Title track. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
