Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, ” I’m in a dead split between the Bruce Lee Collection and the Vincent Price collection. I’ll lean on the side of the Vincent Price collection, as I don’t know what cut of Game of Death the Bruce Lee Legacy Collection has.” Blaine says, “nothing really grabs me tremendously this week, so I’d suggest holding out for the great stuff coming between now and the end of November.”
