I first came across this site way back in the dark dark ages of the 20th Century somewhere in the region of 1998/99. I was desperately trying to find a video that had become obsolete in the UK and I was often seen in pawn shops or video shops looking through their old video selections trying to find it. For those interested the film is called “Streets of Fire” and I will do a review on this as soon as I get some time.

There is one thing that really upsets me, when they let a good thing crumble and waste. I had been using Blackstar for an age (well in internet shopping years it is), it must be well over 2 years now. I was a loyal and regular shopper, I found it great for Christmas and gift shopping. I have spend many a hard earned penny on there site on both goodies for me and gifts for others. My addiction with the site started when i became a crazed Buffy fan and in the days when Buffy box sets were hard to come by in most conventional video shops, you could trust Blackstar to have them in stock and much ... more
