Just a little freaky
Yeah I'm the same; owned them all on DVD, but back in the day I did most of my Terminator viewing off old VHS TV recordings. I've just remedied that recently and have been hunting my favs on VHS as part of my little office setup
Man, remember old arguments like ''Who the hell recorded over T2?!! I specifically had 'do not record over' written on the label!!'' 
Those were the days. Well, they were days.

Haha, thankfully I was the only one in the household competent enough to operate the recording function, so that task was left entirely to me lol. But my labelling wasn't the best, so I did tape over some favs by mistake a few times. I really felt like an accomplishment successfully taping a big name movie and editing out all the commercial breaks.
In my house our attempt to do this with The Empire Strikes Back was a tragic failure. We forgot to resume recording somewhere during the Dagobah section of the film and didn't notice till the escape from Cloud City! And that was our copy of the film for some time afterward. Finally getting to see the full movie again when we bought the trilogy in 1994 was a revelation to child me. ''Holy ***t, Han Solo shot at Darth Vader!'' There was all this stuff I had completely forgotten about.
I love that they updated clothing to leather. My OG version is almost perfect condition as he been boxed until January when I finally displayed him. So will start to see the weathering over years.
I got the 1/4 HT Endo which had some metal but due to size no space to display still so still in box.
Excited to see Inart doing it in diecast however it's Inart so will be very expensive being diecast. Guessing 600.

This reminded me of being a kid and trying to record songs off the radio on a cassette. Trying not to get the DJ talking over the intro or the commercial at the end. Fun times.

That brings back memories.

They should put movies onto SSD drives and house them in a fake vhs cassette that you can slot into a digital 'vcr' player
Did anyone else love the sound of putting a video into the player? The sound of a bank machine accepting and ejecting a card is a modern reminder of it.
