obviously, this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FLIGHT-OF-THE-N ... true&rt=nc
that i won, but was actually sold prior, so DENIED!
I heard the original and the RE-RELEASE in 1992 are the same, and are both PAN AND SCAN, not original Theatrical Release that i personally prefer(Widescreen)

Is there a website that tells you what media versions exist of a movie and formats of it?
It seems I'll eventually end-up with every format of Terminator 2 if i buy just one more (I have bluray now of it, Laserdisc, Laserdisc Box Set, DVD, and i used to have the VHS of it)

Wow!!! In my over 2000 ld collection i only have one of the above mentioned discs...a bug's life


I myself purchased 2 x ''A bugs Life'' and am glad to have these in my collection.

:D

Any reason to have 2 copies? It is rare so I'm sure you could make a lot of money passing one of them on to someone who really wants one.

Well I don't believe it 4 days after I posted on this forum about Hangar 18 the cult ufo film, it appeared on Ebay for sale, in excellent condition. :o

I snapped it up! :D 10 years I have been trying to source this darn LD, finally I may have it (assuming the postal system does its job!)

I have been searching weekly since I got into LD for "A Night at the Roxbury" but have yet to ever see it show up ANYWHERE. I know a copy was sold here on LDDb awhile back, but it was a bit out of my price range. I would love to own it one day.

Been after the Kolchak double japanese disc The Night Stalker / The Night Strangler for 10 years. Never never seen a copy for sale.
Any others I'm after I can track down, but that one has eluded me.....

Seconded. Lain is a great piece of 90's anime, with an intriguing theme and some very nice animation (still using cels: 1998 was getting close to the end for painted cel anime). I have not seen any volumes, or the whole box set, of Lain on eBay so importing direct from Japan seems the only sure way to get this gem of an LD release.

I should probably not mention how I acquired my copy.

Fresh from suruga-ya:

Image

An (almost complete) copy of the Lain box set is now mine :). The only disc they did not have in stock was volume 2, and everything is in great condition with all the obis and inserts (I'm definitely seeing a pattern with Japanese sellers packing their stuff well: surugaya and Recobanchou have never shipped me anything with shipping damage, thanks to plenty of bubble wrap and good boxes - much better than the eBay shipping damage crap shoot with lds).

Image

So yeah, I did have to go direct to a Japanese seller to get this great set after all (who knows when, or if, another one might surface here in the USA, and I do not exactly feel like waiting that long :lol:). It really is cool to find such a later, high quality, series on laserdisc (complete with the new pioneer logo).

What year did the 'old' Pioneer logo become the 'new' Pioneer logo? Because a couple of Laserdisc players last manufactured in 2009 also have the 'new' Pioneer logo.

Since Lain had a quality US DVD release basically nobody imported it back in the day. By the time most American fans knew what Lain was it was already licensed for US release at half the price of the JP LDs.

Not only LD players manufactured in 2009 carry the new Pioneer logo.
I cannot tell the year exactly, but it might have already started in 1999 or 2000 that they put the new logo onto HLD-X9's and maybe some other players that were still in production back then. Possibly around the time when they changed the shipping boxes from white to brown:
Image

An oddity however is that even the newer (X9) players have the old Pioneer logo on all manuals and the remote!
This probably has to do with the fact that they still had enough remotes and manuals in storage and never needed to produce new ones.

According to Wikipedia the logo changed in1998.

Pioneer actually sent me a letter about the new logo. Yeah, seriously. I thought it was earlier than 98 but I don't remember since I don't care and if I did I'd take the old one since its way cooler.

Yeah, the Ohm symbol/tuning fork Pioneer logo is a classic :thumbup:. From my silverface vintage SX-980 receiver from the 70s to my CLD-98, the old Pioneer logo always was the mark of quality on stuff in my collection. The new Pioneer logo is like the way AT&T revised their logo from the old "Deathstar", with it's powerful uppercase 80's "Don't screw with Ma Bell, hackers, or our special agents will take you away in the night" feel, to the lowercase version (reflective of the diminished stature of the once might Bell System):

Image

The old AT&T logo makes me think of the amazing inventions from Bell Labs (transistor, UNIX OS, etc.) and their remarkable Western Electric manufacturing division (responsible for everything from the most collectible vacuum tube audio equipment around (555W horn drivers, 300B tubes = many, many kilobucks) to the massive switching equipment that ran the phone networks (e.g. 5ESS switches).

The new AT&T logo feels like something you would sell a cellphone with, while the old school AT&T was making stuff like the mammoth switch shown in this remarkable Bell documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uMbpaFp3i4

I always thought if they could somehow combined the old Pioneer logo with the new one that would be nicer than the current one. The old one seems more about quality and the new is kinda lazy. all slanted like. as far as the slogans go I like Sound. Vision. Soul the best then Art of Entertainment.

I would like to find a U.S. copy of Deathstalker IV - but I have never seen it (and I have been collecting laserdiscs a very long time) - I did find a hong kong copy though.
