I'll add a photo etc when I'm working on a real computer, travelling with an iPad right now. That is a very rare title on Laserdisc. How much did you pay for it? Sorry - I forgot to check this thread. I got it for £3 in a shop in Nottingham, UK, I've posted details of the location in another thread, since they had more disks ffutures @ Shop with laserdiscs and videodiscs - Nottingham UKI didn't post a picture of the sleeve because it's in poor condition - badly creased and marked. Fortunately the disk is OK apart from a couple of small brown marks on the rim that don't seem to have affected performance.

Artwork design of the above japanese edition looks much better than my artwork edition which edition is the one to prefer overall?

Why did you buy this on LD I had one of these sets, its a nice LD box. And i was able to finally watch all the films, the first and second ones were the best but the third was watchable. I always liked those Japanese boxes rather than the USA pressings.

The reason I bought it is because I kind of gotten very much in to trilogy box sets. I am expecting the Back to the future set soon.
The video quality is great and they are awesome display pieces. It is a nice box, i do agree with that. Collecting LDs should be reasons you have yourself not others. I had many reasons to buy the discs i have over the years, but now i'm selling off or trying to sell off some discs when the LD market is i feel the softest its ever been. When bluray came out the market took a dive but its much worse now.

I'd rather have obscure/quirky LD-only disks (or ones that are rare on DVD too!) than a late release that's trivial to get on DVD or BR myself. However, if I saw a late LD for $5-10 at a thrift shop or sale, I'd be all over it

However, if I saw a late LD for $5-10 at a thrift shop or sale, I'd be all over it Precisely. I am not interested in the late releases at all. I would however want to buy The Beach because I really love that movie and it has a nice cover. But in fact, I would much rather buy 50 obscure Hong Kong or Taiwanese discs noone has ever heard of instead of spending hundreds of dollars on Mission Impossible 2. But that's only my opinion.
