@ viktor: on the top right of your picture, is that "the best of the blues brothers" on dvd? if yes, is that a digipak? (a pakaging similar to that one: http://people.freenet.de/Bloerbfuesch/digi-pack.jpg where did you get that dvd from? (uk, etc.)
i already have the dvd from the usa, the one that you also have and the german "best of...." dvd but just for that pakaging, i'd buy another one sometime :-)
i also see "hit it" in you collection. where did you get that from?
funny, i just wrote about "hit it" in the thread opened by blues_sister, now i see it here :-)

[HumanBiped]

What's "Hit It"? Is that the one with Jake on the left and Elwood on the right playing harmonica? And, what's on the CD if that's it?

as the cover says: "the r'n'b originals that inspired the blues brothers"

the one on the upper right is the region 2 DVD. i bought it here in sweden , but i guess it's from UK , most DVDs here that don't have swedish text on the back of it is... Jake is on the packing and elwood is on the DVD cover that you see throu the plastic... i don't really know how to explain it in english hehe..

I also have the "a briefcase full of blues" poster, but didn't want to take it down from the wall, it looks so good up there

It's hard to find Blues Brothers things here in sweden (not the first 3 albums and the soundtraks & movies but collector-things). Althou I know where to buy the soul man gold singel ( a little frame with the single in gold and pics of the boys) but the price is 1500 kr = about 200 $ and I can't afford it

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

I have The original movie 4 times (3 in VHS,1 in dvd), 2 Blues Brothers 2K videos (VHS,DVD), Best of the Blues Brothers in VHS (I?ll buy it on DVD soon), The albums in cd: briefcase full of blues (i got Two cd?s of this disc, and the vinyl),the sountrack (I have the vynil too) ,best of , Red White & Blues, Live in Montreux,Live from Chicago?s House of Blues and i got the london tribute and Hit It! too.

I got jake?s shades (not rayban,but it?s the same,not black,with the spots like in the movie) and two videos from TV (one with part of the concert of Blues Brothers Band with Tommy Pipes and Eddie Floyd in San Sebastian Jazz Festival and other VHS with a special makin?off BB2K,called "R&B legends: Blues Brothers Returns", a interview in a spanish channel with Dan [it?s cool when dan as elwood jumped at the end of the program and dances "Everybody needs somebody to love" played by the show?s band:86d7f34daf] and other stuff from BBK2.I got pics, pages from newspapers about the Castrelos concert of the BBB in 1998 and pages of cinema magacines about Blues Brothers 2000.
I have a black suit,black shoes,white shirt,white socks,but I want to replace my fake hat for one real...

[20elwood02]

viktor and chandod_blues; could you tell me, where you got "hit it" from? even at ebay i never saw it...

[Viktor]

i got it from a store here in gothenburg. it wasn't released here in sweden, but they imported it from the states i think...

[bbcentral]

OK, now you can click on my profile and view my collection.
(or click here)

[jakeelwood]

ok, bbcentral. Where the hell did you get those Blues Brothers action figures, and Bluesmobile model?!!! I must have them!!!

[bbcentral]

Search on Ebay for bluesmobile. It's the Corgi version, but there's actually two of them!
One is the small version with the tiny Jake and Elwood figures, the other is a larger Bluesmobile.
The figures don't look anything like Jake and Elwood!

Search EBay for "blues brothers dodge" or "blues brothers corgi"

The collector dolls are not too bad, but since when does Jake play saxophone???
I don't think there are anymore of them on Ebay right now, but my advice is to get a Bluesmobile first, then worry about the dolls. They aren't anything special, personally I can't wait until the Blues Brothers Roto Cast Figure Set comes out!! That's the one you should buy in November!

[jakeelwood]

yeah, I'm looking foward to those too! I'll search for those. Thanks for the info.

I just went to the website for that Johnny Lightning Die Cast Toy Car Company, and I requested that they make a special Blues Brothers Car line for the 25th Anniversary. Hopefully, they'll do it.

[bbcentral]

I found the figures on ebay!
Look here.
They are in the UK. It works out to be US $18.30+postage.

Decided to take pics of my collection. I have a lot more posters than this, but I didn't feel like digging them out of the closet, so I took pics of the ones that are up.

The video shelf - the top row of DVDs, the small section on the left of the second-from-top shelf, those stacked on top, and all but the last 2 (at right) of the VHS on the bottom are BB-related.
