I'm the same. I regulary paid 30- 50 for bog standard laserdiscs (US imports) in Tower Records in Glasgow, and had that Criterion RoboCop release too. I do think we're spoiled nowadays, and sometimes wish these young whippersnappers could go back an see what it was like, and maybe they'd be a little more appreciative of how good we have it now.
