Hi,

I purchased """" RoboCop 6 """". There are only 3 in the franchise.

Judging by the picture, https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/m6MAAOSw ... -l1600.jpg, It's of course a bootleg but the seller confirmed it plays.

The movie has a genuine singapore censorship sticker on the cover; It also has an official reference number.

Should this be added to the database? Here is all the info i currently know:

Title: Robocop 6
Region of Origin: Singapore
Reference: JWL-166
Running Time: 105 minutes
Disc Produced by: JEI WEA CO. LTD.
Format: CLV
Encoding: NTSC
Audio: Analog, Digital

I would think that for simple completeness adding it would be appropriate.

It would be checked before it is added so defo worth submitting it.

Only 14 "bootlegs" listed here but may be mistaken on that, perhaps more but I can't find them.

So called "bootleg" LDs are (to me) interesting, pretty easy to copy VHS back in the day & DVDs fairly quickly in the formats life had bootlegs
appearing but LDs were a different kettle of fish - not someone at home banging them out & interesting as the manufacturers of the LDs would be fairly easy to track down. Can anyone confirm what manufacturing plants actually made bootleg LDs (PRINCO only perhaps)?

I see you have put - Disc Produced by: JEI WEA CO. LTD. - is this info on the cover or the disc label or on the disc itself?

MPO appear to have manufactured one so called bootleg - New York Ripper - though it may have been an "Astro" issued disc, they did have hassle on occasions with a few of their releases. Not sure if it can be called a bootleg as such, more like one they issued without any big promo push to slip under the authorities attention.

Thanks for the info on your disc, very interesting.

Cheers

Robocop: The Series vol. 6 (1994) [JWL-166]

While very cool it seems to be in the database already.
That doesn't mean its not a bootleg but I really don't know how to determine if an LD is bootleg other than what I've read
from other posted discs in the database.

I do own The Beatles: The Ultimate Tour Live Collection - Tour Years 1964-1966 *BOOTLEG* [TMQ-LD-0628]
If you go by PQ and the TMQ maker then I guess its a bootleg, too bad they didn't keep making more bootleg LD stuff.

Thanks rein-o, did a quick check here & missed that..... duh!

So it may not be a bootleg as such then.

Might be a bit thick here but what is "the TMQ maker"?

Cheers.

Well I don't really know but the TMQ has some thing to do with bootleg vinyl, that's pretty much the extent that I know.
The logo is a boar's head with glasses.

Just did a search, some pretty crazy stuff.

The information is all on the back of the sleeve.

No where on the sleeve does it indicate it's a TV series or a volume. It just says ROBOCOP 6.

If it's not a bootleg, it's not my fault for thinking it was one.

Yeah, especially with that cover! "Michael Vejar" definitely directed episodes of the TV series so I'm like at least 95% sure that's just a collection of episodes from that.

I think this might actually be a legitimate release. I've seen some really questionable video covers that weren't bootlegs either and this is pretty far from being the most blatantly misleading one I've seen.
