2018 update: What was the last 'vintage' workout you purchased?

inspired by the link below, just wondering if there's others like me who gravitate to the oldies:

What was the last 'vintage' workout you purchased?

A few months ago, I lucked out on a good price for Blissology and am loving that set.

last night, I bought Incredible Abs 1 and 2 from ebay at half the price of a new set - hoping they're pressed DVDs. I also picked up one of the Target Leslies - 3 Mile Calorie Blast. Our Target had never carried these kits.

RHBrand, where did you get the Yorktowns? I'd really like to have them.

I guess the last vintage workouts I bought was Margaret Richard's Classics dvd and Kathy Smith's Strong, Sleek, and Slim. Not sure which set is older

Fitness favorites weights first and some classic Firms ( to replace VHS) are the latest vintage workouts I have purchased.

For me the better question woudl be what's the last new workout you bought? I'' my media is vintage by now, I do a lot of online workouts, outdoor workouts, and my beloved oldies.

Gilad's 45/45 Split Routine Workout from 1990! I haven't done it yet, though.

I'm not sure how 'vintage' is defined in this question, but from reading other people's responses, I think it's safe to say that most of my collection is 'vintage' except for my newer Jessica Smiths and a couple of my recent yoga purchases. Most of the stuff I've been buying lately are at least 10 years old (just guessing!). I've been buying a lot of stuff from Mary's sales (I HATE her! ), including Prevention, Kathy Smith, Shape, original Firms, Kickbutts, etc. Really, though, I don't pay a lot of attention to the age of the workout, but rather to the instructors and the types of workouts. Being 59 years old now, I also tend to prefer my old stand-bys (Kathy Smith, Karen Voight) or more mature instructors doing more moderate workouts (like Jessica) instead of the current pack of younger instructors who teach high-impact or extreme workouts or who are promoting a certain type of workout that I just don't get (like TA ).
