The Lost Media and Research Handbook

Well I'll copy it then

Me; Hey LSuperSonicQ, I wanted to give you a case that is right up your alley. It's a rare toy that no one even knows if it was released or not. This is a Brrrbil. Brrrbils were Furby inspired toys that you had to keep in a freezer, and if you were to keep it out for too long it'd start having a meltdown. It was made by a company simply called Exitement which is based out of Hong Kong and it was supposedly released in 2000 (the height of the Furbys popularity.) No models have ever been found and the only evidence of it is footage from a Hong Kong toy show

I've been a long-time fan and I loved your merch Mysteries, and no one seems to be hopping onto this mystery, but I know if anyone can solve it.............. you can.

Lssq; I feel like I've heard about this one before but I've never looked into it. Have people really not done any research on this before? It seems like something that would have been covered but I am definitely interested in the topic.

Thanks for telling me about it, I'm going to do some looking around and see what I can find!

Me; I couldn't find any evidence of investigations into it. Everyone just assumed it never came out, but you never know. Everyone thought the Waluigis Toenail Cliping Party game was fake so this could've come out. Thanks for looking into it, and I hope we can come to a conclusion about the existence of this product.

I appreciate the kind words but I didn't touch any of the footage from Breakfast Club, haha, thats all raw tape footage! And yes I'm aware of Gilchrist's Mark 4-2 (now named Mark 5,) it's an interesting project. Certainly ambitious.

Probably, iirc the deleted scenes from The Breakfast Club still exist on film but are still held by Hughes' estate. There's a lot of stuff held by his widow that hasn't been released, I think.

Really? I was under the impression that the original film elements were thrown out, and they only survived on VHS. 

Also, why is his widow holding all this stuff away from the public? Did John Hughes not want this stuff released or something? I don’t see anything but great things happening if they are released, but there’s probably just something I’m missing, or don’t know.  

Wait a second, does that mean the original cut of planes, trains and automobiles could still exist on film too? I mean, that airplane food scene had to come from somewhere. If this is the case, I would totally love to see how the vhs deleted scenes would look on film. 

Also, I can’t be the only one who thinks that in certain shots from the pizza sequence, the lighting on John Candy’s face looks like he’s telling a scary story. 

*Instantly puts it on my wish list*

Well it really depends on what you're looking for. In some cases contacting another is the only way you're gonna find something. It just really depends on what it is. But sifting through old magazines, press releases, and various promotional materials for whatever it is usually reveals details unknown beforehand, y'know?

I am learning about Lost Media how can those pieces of media were not in light in a day like example lost episode of kids show or maybe obscure lost media like audio media.
