Hello, my name is Andrea and I'm a 41 year old guy from Italy.

I'm a laserdisc collector from 1995, when here in Italy the "laserdisc" was a mysterious word that few person have heard before; only a handful people had the "courage" to buy a laserdisc player and fewer even have an idea to start a proper laserdisc collection... well, I was one of that!

I definitely fell in love with the laserdisc standard when I read on a magazine an article about the mythic Star Wars Trilogy Definitive Collection... nine discs, full of supplemental material, a book, a sturdy black box to contain them all... I dreamt about it for years; finally I managed to obtain the DC (not only one, but three!) and many others... actually, I reached quota 3200 laserdiscs and more than 15 laserdisc players, plus some AC3 demodulators, CC decoders etc...

Don't know if anyone here remember me, but I posted sometimes in several forum, talking about the idea of writing a book about laserdisc... crazy project, isn't it? Is someone still interested in it nowadays?!?

I'd like to thank Julien for his excellent job - where do you find the time to do it? I'm sure you have NOT children AND cats... ;-)
Then I want to say "hello!" to Christopher, Joshua, Kurtis, Ty, Douglas, Iain, Kevin, Nicholas, Rachel... and to everyone in this forum - good to say so many laserdisc lovers!

Andrea

Good evening from the UK laserdisc.ws,

Glad to have you on this forum Friend and I enjoyed reading about your experiences.
I can relate to your collecting the Star Wars Definitive box set, as I currently have two of these, with the Japanese version on it's way in the next few months.

we may have corresponded at some stage in the past. . . . . Not sure thou.

I am still paying those crazy prices for the titles that I want in my collection.

I used to post on the AV Forums, Home theatre forums ect.

I have many good memories from when I started out in April 1998.

I shall hopefully correspond with yourself at some stage.

Best of health to you.

Regards

:wave:

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you own all of the laserdiscs, laserdisc players and AC-3 Demodulators in Italy??? Glad to hear you are such an avid collector, as many of us on here are as well! Hopefully our paths will cross some day! Take care!

Hello Andrea!

Just when I removed the (unused) Italian sub-forum here you showed up :-)

If more Italian LD collectors are coming, I might put it back.

Welcome!

Julien

Thanks to you all.

Benmbe, yes we mailed some time ago, but unfortunately I lost my last year's email due to HD failure... :( but all LD related info are safe! :D

Yes, it seems that I'm currently the greatest italian laserdisc collector, and I'm proud!

Julien, personally I think it's better to start a section about italian laserdisc but still written in english, so every user could understand.

Greetings,
Andrea

ciao, Andrea.

This is a popular site with a good database of information. :) And the format is still collectable today as it was years ago. :)
