If you want to save money, buy a plane ticket to Japan. I have seen at least a dozen shops in Osaka selling LDs for very little money ( 100 Yen a disc upwards ), even whole beautiful box sets were sold for very reasonable prices. The only problem is the transportation of course Transporting LDs on a plane sucks.

But anyway, how is it going to save you money? I agree if you find 100 movies that you actually want and would have bought anyway. But i find it more true to find maybe 10-30 titles.

I was there last summer. Maybe I did not find a dozen but I did find 8,9 shops easily with LDs in and around Namba. And it was cheap, at least in my opinion. My Star Trek Insurrection LD in mint condition cost me 500 Yen. That is cheap in my opinion.

Had this on the watch for 7 or so months and brought "Great Expectations" (1998) late of last week and arrived this week. Great Expectations (1998) [0449285]Not bad I rather liked from academy award winner director (Alfonso Cuarón) Gravity (2013) the story may not be everyone's cup of tea. The picture was okay with a little 1080p upscale. The Dolby AC-3 digital starting off with Dolby "short train" the film had an immersive sound with seagulls flying around and hard to shake of the GRAVITY sense of the films sound design and services by Skywalker Sound, mixed by Michael Minkler and Christian P. Minkler. I have one more laserdisc still in transit and the ALIENS should be landing at "Hangar 18" soon...

It's been several months since I picked up one, but I bought the Jurassic Park CAV release today. Wasn't going to pay for the Blu-ray bundle since I really don't care for TLW or III. I'd have sprung for the DTS version but I don't have a DTS receiver, so... That brings me up to a whole sixteen movies. But I have a lot of good ones.

When I was visiting the local record store on Record Store Day, I discovered they actually had a handful of Laserdiscs at the very back. I grabbed these for $5 -- not each, but for the whole bundle. That copy of Pulp Fiction is a Japanese import, by the way. No obi, but letterboxed. The store manager, a friend of mine for a while, seemed to have no idea they carried them. "Are those ****ing LaserDiscs?" "Yeah." "You want these?" "Yeah, I collect them!" Might be why I got such a deal

I can't honestly say I'm not going to enjoy it aswell. Will post a pic upon arival. i was lucky to get the entirety of BGC in an excellent collection of 50-odd Anime LDs and a CLD-S104 off of my local CL some years ago for around $80.00USD. all i need left is CRASH, but i suppose that those are much harder and expensive to come by?

I was at Chiller Theatre Horror Convention over the weekend. There were a few vendors with some Laserdiscs. One had Song of the South (but with no obi) asking $100 for it. I nearly bought it, but decided against it. I'm now sort of regretting that decision . . . but then again, I've seen it sell for less on Ebay!
