Got Madonna's "Live In Japan/Who's that Girl" Japanise LD.

I'm going to sell or trade that as i'm not into her music so much.

Got The Shawshank Redemption, DADC Austria pressing going by the sleeves.

I'm a bit torn, I got an offer for a copy of Starship Troopers for $13, but I asked the seller if it's tested and he acknowledged that it isn't. Sigh.

Edit: I caved in, but I'll be ticked if I paid that price and it has worse than mild rot.

Mine has Ac3 drop outs on Disc 1 side B (CAV)
The rest is absolutely fine and looks great, is a shame

I never had the USA LD of Starship but is that a normal issue on that disc with AC3 or is that part of the rot??

I think I remember reading blam or someone else said the rot started on digital channels? Can't remember all of it now or I may be wrong.

Its a well known rotter, the Jap one is the one to get.
Yeah Side B disc one for me has light visable rot on the picture, watchable but the AC-3 is just stuffed.

Phantom Menace has been climbing in price i have noticed.
The AC-3 is very impressive at times :thumbup:

Has it? I go to ebay and the sold prices don't seem to have changed as far as I can tell, still floating around that $40 mark, give or take.

Got in the Cybernaut LDs and the bonus LDs included were a Paramount Sampler and a couple Mind's Eye computer CG type things.

I picked up DTS Jurassic Park for $14.99 at HPB. I'm pretty impressed with the picture quality on this one.

Nice. I just paid £30 in the uk. It turned up today with
Tarka the otter
Dracula criterion
La confidential
Who framed roger rabbit
The abyss
The ghost and the darkness

La confidential has incredible AC-3 if you have a demodulator

Sadly I don’t. I largely purchased it because the cover looks nice. I already own in on Blu-ray.

rein-o · Posted: 28 Feb 2021, 17:09

Picked up a bunch of anime from ebay in the USA.

What's really odd/sad is that I've sold a bunch of discs on ebay and none have been posted here.
Lddb needs more advertisement.

GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another kind of seller, maybe.

Yep, he just slid it in some bubble wrap and called it a day, no cardboard whatsoever. It was way worse than the packing job on the other destroyed disc I received. Appalling.
