So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Did you guys never get plastic cases for your VHS tapes? Were they always cardboard sleeves?

Here in the UK, they were always in plastic cases.

Kids films came in plastic cases for some reason. cardboard sleeves were the most common for major film releases. Come to think of it, my bob the builder tapes came in plastic cases and that show is from the UK so that checks out.

It varied, really. A lot of the Disney films we owned were in the plastic cases (probably other ones, as well; just don't remember anymore, at this point) and others had the cardboard sleeves.

I don't remember it leaning one way or the other, particularly.
