No US B&TB boxset. IIRC, All the contents of the Japanese boxset are available in the US. But the WIP discs in the boxset are not rotters, as the US release was. I stand corrected. thanks for the info.  |

Hey Kris, thats a nice attitude, adding LDs to your collection and get a look at the world I Like the idea Yeah, a collection may be seen as clumsy these days, in the age of soundbars and Flat Tvs..so I understand (in a way...) if some people want to get rid of them. A friend of mine gave me his collection a few weeeks ago , plus a player (that seemed defective to him, all I needed to do was renewing the rubber belt). He couldn´t stand the picture anymore, plus the fact that the player didn´t work properly..Funny enough, he was the one who introduced me to Laserdisc. So, did you already start picking the...how do we say, cherries from the lot ?

So, did you already start picking the...how do we say, cherries from the lot ? Believe it or not but I'm not planning on keeping anything in particular. Okay okay, I'm keeping a few sealed onces like The Pulp Fiction box.  I bought them since I couldn't resist Sure, every time again I fall in love with some artwork but where does that end...? I've collected about a 1000 discs back in the 90's. sold most of them around 2000 only to start collect the later "technical better" discs and those beautiful Japanese ones. I do realize the quality is poor in today's age like most people would agree but this won't ever keep me from hauling laserdiscs around. + I get to meet people, collectors and newbies. Did encounter some new collector's in the past few years that succeeded in spending much money on the format only to realize soon after it can't please them in the end. I guess that's the danger with this dead format. they look cooler than BR discs but won't be rivaling them soon. I was collecting when it was the best format around and firmly believe that is one of the main reasons I still like those shiny discs. Won't ever forget that first Clear and Present Danger AC-3 soundtrack in Antwerp. Jurassic park with dts was another milestone soundwise or maybe it's just me being nostalgic

I got this box set yesterday: Ben Hur Commemorative 35th Anniversary CAV Standard Play Edition Deluxe Letterbox Edition   The box set consists of 5 LD's: 4 are the movie and side 1 of the 5'th LD is 'Ben Hur: The Making of an Epic". The box itself shows a little wear on its corners and the LD's are in excellent condition with a cleanable smudge here and there. I already have the CED version so the LD version will be a complement. What was amazing was the Amazon price: $1.00 plus $3.99 shipping.
LD
Pioneer CLD-D406
Sony MDP-600
CED
934-54780150, 934.54810350, SJT-200, CED-1, 3-VIP1000, VIP201P

A small portion of the last lot I purchased. also had 2 cld-d515 that I sold meanwhile since I have way too much around player wise. Sold about 350 discs meanwhile. Made a deal with one buyer who took about 100 discs a d515 and a Yamaha APD-1. The space it all takes once sorted  Every time I sell some it just doesn't look like there's much gone Kept me another cld-d925 and a denon LA-2300 player around. Kenwood DEM-999D is one that I am going to sell. I have 3 mint unused in their box anyway. I like that particular demodulator since it's supertiny and does a great job using an LDD-1 myself for the obvious auto switching. Had many mint sealed boxsets among them. about 20 that sold immediatly. Mint sealed is always nice when it comes to boxsets since they are prone to shelf wear if not treated right. Some forum users and new LDDB members from Belgium came along Made new friends and contacts. Happy everyone got some they like . New people to exchange discs

Thanks list
The 'boys' even put in an appearance at Connections nightclub after the show. Watched this right through with a big smile on my face
