Can you name a few that you haven't been able to find?

Just asked her (she's been the one buying our collection haha) and sounds like fairly early on she had trouble with many of them and so eventually she just gave up looking. The only example she had off the top of her head was Stranger Things Seasons 3 and 4. A quick search on Amazon seems.. confusing haha.

On the flipside i'd be curious if you have had luck from any sources on buying boxsets for modern streaming shows. Any tips?

edit: She replied with additional items:

> Off the top of my head:

> None of the Marvel shows on Disney+ have physical

> None of the Amazon Prime shows have physical

> None of the AppleTV+ shows have physical

> The first 2 seasons of stranger things do but are out of print. Subsequent seasons and any other show from that time period on are not available.

> Star Trek streaming shows ARE available but insanely expensive (8-10 ep seasons for 50-70)

Thanks for the examples. Indeed, I would assume that finding physical media for $STREAMING_SERVICE exclusives/originals may be tricky.

I'll admit I'm totally an old fart when it comes to movies/TV shows. I like old stuff and don't like much of what's been done after the 2010's. I usually easily find physical media for what I like to watch. It is a very saddening trend if it is true that modern shows/movies do not end up on BR.
