Yes! Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat!

but seriously...there is no actual reason tied to anything quantifiable (such as production scarcity, error variants, warehouse finds, etc). I have yet to see anyone provide actual production numbers or ANY data for many of these high priced VHS that pass the sniff test and are not simply conjecture. It's often easy for one to fall into the trap of thinking a lack of data might suggest rarity (for example, it's easy to find the numbers for Temple of Doom VHS which was released in the same year as the Goonies VHS. Temple sold 1.4 million units that Christmas, so one might think Goonies wasn't picked up as much and thus it is now rare). Likewise I cannot find a hard date when the VHS went out of print (which is important) The only reason I can thus far sus out seems is general crazed nostalgic speculation by those driving the VHS craze. Remember it was only recently (2017) added to the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and the film’s overall tone and themes can be found in most of the recent 'hot' Hollywood properties, most notably in the likes of Stranger Things and the IT! remake, productions that have sparked the retro revolution and a fondness for all things 80s. Goonies is a movie that diehard fans might feel has been 'under appreciated' by the general public (in contrast to other very popular series like Star Wars or Back to the Future) and so both feels 'rare' by comparison and also ripe for a resurgence (especially once those young fans of Stranger Things and other 80s callbacks start to gain their own nostalgia and look back for other media).

From what I understand you do have the option not to allow counter offers.

I definitely do enjoy On the Campaign Trail. Also the Superbowl story (Fear and Loathing in Miami) The first movie made, which starred Bill Murray, Where the Buffalo Roam contained some of those stories . The original production notes / press release folder and paperwork.

All I can say is "blocked"

Yes a lot of them did and with the cheaper news print a lot of them are very yellowed or brittle. I have been keeping my eye out for several of them and eventually hope to upgrade a few of the ones that I already have . The main ones I have been after are the Ralph Steadman / Hunter S Thompson issues, but always looking to see what else is out there that survived. Most have subscription stickers, although I have been lucky to find a few without them.

Your fiance' better hope that was the only feline you got in to that night!

Also Simpsons did an homage to it.

Is this better ?

I hear she is quite the cunning linguist.

Don't diss the flapjacks..err I mean Wheatcakes...
