What was the last laserdisc you bought? (2016)

More on the Snow White box set:
I decided to keep the box set. I e-mailed the seller and asked if he might have a used box set or an incomplete box set that I could buy off him just to get a replacement LD. So far, no answer. It would be a shame to toss out my box set when there maybe a chance of "repairing" it.

I opened up my 2001 box set (25'th anniversary) to check on its condition. All LD's are perfect. There is a sheet of paper listing 500 LD's produced by MGM in the box along with their MSRP. I guess it is too late to order any of them now (lol).

I opened a sealed copy of Cannibal Ferox a couple years back- which was oddly missing the rpm record, and it was 100% sealed. Possibly they may have run short on those rmp sountracks towards the end of the production run? ... I don't know:/ weird.

That actually makes your copy more rare with the production defect like that

My friend Mahir 8-)

Good call!! I don't really mind not having it all that much either because -I don't have a player for the rpm anyways! :ugeek:

ALSO...It didn't have the barf bag as well!! So I just replaced it with one I got from Alaska Airlines :mrgreen:

...hey, make due with what you have -RIGHT!!?

More on the SW box set:

The seller is a dog rescue charity that sells items it acquires from estate sales. The odds of them having a second box set are slim.

Instead, I found a box set on e-bay for $6.00 plus shipping that I bought. Knowing Murphy's law, the one LD that will be broken is the one I need. Fortunately, the seller states that they inspect the LD's for defects before putting them on e-bay. Time will tell.

Update:

I notified the charity that I found another box set on E-bay for $6.00 and to not look for another box set. They notified me that they are going to refund me the $6.00. Not bad.

Do you have Cannibal Ferox?

No, I do not. I believe that I do not have any non-USA produced LD's in my collection. I say "non-USA" LD's meaning none with an OBI or non-english words in or on the cover art.

Money is money & all that but given that the deal was with a "charity" are you accepting the $6.00 they have offered to send back?

Might feed a dog or two for a couple of days.

The box set cost me $17.49 (which does not includes shipping). Getting $6.00 back is not that big a deal.

Seller took these 8 titles in his Hand luggage from Australia to Japan, then from there to France, then from a province within shipped to the UK.

Kindest Regards to everyone
