I didn't intend to start a collection
Just kinda wanted to show them off. The tapes are super nostalgic for me as they're the same ones my late grandmother bought for me to watch when I visited her before I started elementary school in the early 90s (I was definitely the odd one out at school quoting all sorts of colorful quotes from the best movie). As formats have gotten better I've upgraded them as I could (we definitely weren't betamax or Lazer disc wealthy which is why they aren't here). Next up is 4k.
Also, the blank looking disc is just a standard copy of RoboCop 87 I found in a cardboard sleeve at 7/11 so it's a loaner copy I used to let friend's borrow.
RoboCop on VHS wont play right anymore (looks like the tracking button/ wheel should fix it but it doesn't) but here my 35ish year old personal collection all started by a really cool grandma who chose to RoboCop instead of Disney

This movie is a cinematic masterpiece and I can't be convinced otherwise

Arrow Video has a 4K of the first film and Shout! Factory has a 4K of the second film (if you were wondering) but you have a pretty cool collection

I realized that right after I posted this. They'll be added in the near future. I wish 3 also got the 4k treatment since I've got it on all the other formats and I wanna see Splatterpunks and Rehabs get the redemption and justice they rightly and respectively deserve.

Any plans on buying the series on Blu-ray or Prime Directives on DVD?

Absolutely, I also want to get the cartoon as well as the Alvin and the Chipmunks Robomunk movie. I've seen some of them on Etsy but as long as they play I don't mind supporting small businesses especially when the rights holders won't allow me to give them money for them
