I just received a mint copy of a very late production LD (2001), Jin Roh! I snagged it off of Yahoo Japan with a bidding service for only thirty bucks plus some fees - a steal. For an anime laserdisc collector, this disc has it all: rarity, late production, dolby digital, and a cool film. I usually trawl ebay for anime laserdiscs, my most recent score was the Japanese Kimagure Orange Road tv box set which is very nice, but YJ can be great tool for turning up discs like Jin Roh.

Well done! Been looking for this one forever...

whats a "bidding service" ?

Sites such as "Shopping Mall Japan" or celga will place bids on Yahoo Japan items for you, and handle all of the Japanese interaction and shipping. I'm not sure if there is a similar service in Sweden, or Europe in general.

I'm in europe, and I've used services like that before.
J.I.G.S. is one, a friend of mine uses Noppin, another Rinkya (not sure about the writing of that name lol).

I've used J.I.G.S. twice (once for a DVD and once for the Evangelion Symphonic Orchestra LD, and both times came away quite satisfied. They do work world-wide, and the fees are more reasonable than much of the competition.

Well thats interesting, in the last month I've been outbid on both Jin-Roh and the Evangelion Symphonic Orchestra LD during auctions on Yahoo Auction JP... You guys have been pushing my bids up!

I'm glad the discs went to people on this forum though
