Hi Kamikaze, welcome to the forum.
VHS eh? I remember when everything was VHS... I feel old
Just kidding... things have been moving so fast technology wise.
I still have my little VHS collection.
There actually isn't that much to collect in my opinion. Not compared to other series that is. e.g. I love Kino's Journey and for that there are special books with bonus CDs, the soundtracks/singles, artbook, a music box, pencilboard, cards, two PS2 games, the novels (soon to be translated!!), the DVD set, stationary, desktop accessories, bookends, jewelry, bookmarks, posters, cosplay hat and more

(I have the special books with bonus CDs, the music box, the DVD set, two singles (opening and ending song), clearfile stationary, a pencilboard, artbook, the two PS2 games (yeah I can't understand them yet
but maybe I will someday and I could learn at least to play the mini-games) and... I think thats it so far).
And I don't think that Kino's Journey is even that mainstream.
So Alien 9 should have had much more, especially a cosplay hat!!
But you're right that what is available is super rare... wish I was web savvy back in 2001, I could of ordered the stuff at the time for cheaper on stores
;; Buying through Japanese auctions is expensive.
