Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

Six new additions this week, although four of them were upgrades. Second Sight's long-awaited 4K release of George A. Romero's Martin doesn't usurp the old Arrow DVD from my collection because that has unique special features, but elsewise, I switched out 88 Films' BD of Dragons Forever for their 4K release, and their older BD of Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin for a remastered one (I've never seen either film, but I got a good discount); plus StudioCanal's 4K reissue of The City of Lost Children turned up a few days early. That's a title I've owned on DVD and Blu-ray, and now 4K, but never actually seen. More fool me.

Number of titles in collection: 3,048 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,032 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,016 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 245 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 7,522 [up 8]
