I did that too. Though i'm finding it difficult to get a lot of newer content on DVD these days. Ie most new streaming shows.. do they have box sets in your experience? My wife has been looking and so far i think we have .. well, none. But we have quite a bit of content. Netflix (DVD), ironically, is a good source for this too. .. rules aside, i'm sure.

  Just asked her (she's been the one buying our collection haha) and sounds like fairly early on she had trouble with many of them and so eventually she just gave up looking. The only example she had off the top of her head was Stranger Things Seasons 3 and 4. A quick search on Amazon seems.. confusing haha. On the flipside i'd be curious if you have had luck from any sources on buying boxsets for modern streaming shows. Any tips? edit: She replied with additional items: > Off the top of my head: > None of the Marvel shows on Disney+ have physical > None of the Amazon Prime shows have physical > None of the AppleTV+ shows have physical > The first 2 seasons of stranger things do but are out of print. Subsequent seasons and any other show from that time period on are not available. > Star Trek streaming shows ARE available but insanely expensive (8-10 ep seasons for 50-70)

    Thanks for the examples. Indeed, I would assume that finding physical media for $STREAMING_SERVICE exclusives/originals may be tricky. I'll admit I'm totally an old fart when it comes to movies/TV shows. I like old stuff and don't like much of what's been done after the 2010's. I usually easily find physical media for what I like to watch. It is a very saddening trend if it is true that modern shows/movies do not end up on BR.

I usually follow the idea of letting new content (books, TV’s, movies) sit around for a decade or so and then going for the ones that are still well known. Of course there are exceptions. Those ones are available for purchase on Apple TV or are showing in theatres. For the rest, there are box sets on Amazon/EBay
