Hi, all! Today I got in the mail the Korean Indiana Jones Trilogy:
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) [SLC-007C]
Front Cover:

Back Cover:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) [SLC-017C]
Front Cover:

Back Cover:

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) [SLC-052C]
Front Cover:
Image

Back Cover:

All 3 have their Obi's. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom have standard covers, while The Last Crusade is a gatefold cover.

I must say, Temple of Doom's cover is the best I have seen on a laserdisc in my limited time collecting. It is made of a soft material and it is matte, not the typical glossy cover. The colors are vibrant. The strokes that make main titles of the cover are of a golden paint color and are striking. In my opinion, Temple of Doom might not be the best movie, but has a cover worthy of a best movie. It looks and feels as if it is part of a non-existing "special collection" or something similar.

I submitted some edits to the database and shared the full scans of the covers, obis, and discs. :D Hope this helps all too!

Do you watch (buy, I guess) any moves that aren’t directly adjacent to Star Wars in some way? I just realized Blade Runner and Raiders both have Han Solo in them so I’m wondering if we’ll be looking at pictures of foreign copies of Air Force One and Regarding Henry soon.

If you haven’t seen Hanna and Her Sisters I highly recommend it. Princess Leia lives in NYC. It’s very talky but people in general like it.

Darth Vaders played another bad guy in Conan the Barbarian. You’ve probably seen that one. It’s great.

Corvette Summer is not as good as people say it is.

How about Willow? THX1138?

Star Wars Technidisc trilogy.

And Star Trek II and III rental Japanese LD with no OBI.

I had need of a Letterbox copy of Khan anyway and these were in a similar price ballpark.

I don't like Mark Hamill. The dudette charges 700 dollars for an autograph, and there are other things I don't like about him that I won't get into on this forum. Yes, I called him a dudette in a mocking way.

WOW 700 for an autograph, I remember back in the day the only people who charged for autographs were actors who no longer
had careers, oh wait..........

It’s not that I defend spending $700 on an autograph…but these shows these days…people charging hundreds for autographs is sadly very common. If you didn’t charge $700 the line would wrap around the hotel and go 10 blocks down the road and cause all kinds of problems. Conventions are no longer a few dozen or a few hundred people they are tens of thousands of people. Nothing is more popular in western civilization in 2025 than being way way too into something with as many of your friends as possible and doing things way too big and the same time and place. This drives prices. If all the Taylor Swift fans in the word simply split into two groups, each liking one of two bands and not just one, the tickets would be much easier to get. It’s not like that though. Being an obedient monoculture idol worshiper IS the thing they like even more than the artist. Of course it’s expensive! It has to be.

I have sketches from some of my favorite artists like Shouji Kawamori, Hiroyuke Kitazumi, and Kenichi Sonada that I paid nothing for. I just walked up to the guy and said こんばんは and I got a drawing. Sometimes it helped being in with the staff but the big difference is popularity. I went to Otakon, the first, in 1994. It was 350 people or so. It’s not hard to keep it real with 350 people. When I went back 10 years later in 2004 the turnout was 20,000 people, a small city. There is no relationship between those two events. At a con with 350 people you may think you’re with the coolest people in America all condensed into State College PA. (You might think that…being correct is not the point). When it’s 20,000 people well…cool people don’t collect in numbers that large. These are the same people standing in line with you for an hour to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. You realize this not while at a guest panel but when you’re pumping gas a mile from the convention and the 300lb dude in the Kia Sportage is doing the same thing in a Sailor Moon costume.

It’s much worse that you have to win a lottery for the privilege owning a signature and much worse still that you still have to stand in line anyway! For anyone who is disappointed by this I suggest getting into something cooler.

I really wasn't in the market for it but an offer was made to me on Ebay for Willow Japanese Rental Disc with OBI. I accepted.

I still think 40 GBP is insane but half of that was the shipping cost.


As for Mark I got his autographs in the 1990s for free with self-addressed stamped return envelope after sending him some rare comics and a fan letter.

It's of Mark Hamill not Luke Skywalker however though it is personalized.

I have a George Lucas autograph circa 1987. On Star Wars 10th anniversary, before the prequel fiasco when the man was considered a genius. He had done the Star Wars trilogy, and the first two Indiana Jones films.

I know for a fact Hamill was not charging when he was promoting him and his cousin's comic in Boston either, at a comic shop in the 1990s. Nobody remembers because the Black Pearl was not a particularly good comic. Signed free with just what the cover charge of the book was.

I guess you can fault LFL for charging him for the Luke Skywalker image and his being paid by QVC to do that one in the 1990s I did not purchase that because it was insulting, just a cash grab.

Latest purchase is The X-Files Season 1-7 boxsets along with PILF-2727 The X-Files Movie.
I am still on the look out for Season 7 Vol.4 though to make it a complete set.
