Why not simply enter that list in your collection on this website?

I added one movie now. Here's the problem I probably own about 200 or more movies now so it's going to be a pain to add every single one.

When I added River Pirates for some reason it's showing a light red or light pink highlight around it. Is this because it's rare or is it doing it for another reason? Wow, both Small Soldiers and River Pirates are highlighted light red or light pink. I know both of these are very hard to come by. Guessing it's highlighting the fact that both are pretty rare uncommon for the NTSC-U release?

:lol:

Just read the definitions of what the icons/colors mean (left-bottom area of the screen) by hovering your mouse over the pink color square box.

More specifically, a light-red highlight on a title in your collection means that the database doesn't have any mint marks on file for the disc(s) in that title. It's basically letting you know that that's information you could submit to the database if you pull the disc(s) out and record the mint marks.

The river prirate seems to be the least common of your LDs.
One other person has on their wishlist.
Congratulations

I rarely ever see Dark Tide pop up. I think that might be the rarest one. That or people love the cover so much they're refusing to sell it because it's pretty exotic looking. I think it might be rare either way. I guess everything on this format is rare to some extent but I think this is pretty rare compared to other laserdiscs.

Have the same movie and it is pretty hard to come by.

This is obscure in my opinion. Cannot speak for Japan back in the day, however since zero hour of the format, in this part of the world this title is RARE.
Japan only release.
Elizabeth Taylor and European cast brought back this original Shirley Temple classic to life.

Check it out ...

Cheers to the membership.....

I paid a lot for my copy. I originally almost got it for $20 but the ebay seller claimed the listing was over and it shouldn't have been up. Then about a year or 10 months later approximately it popped up again but this seller knew how rare it was and put a crazy price around $130 or so and I paid either $130 or $135. So if I ever let this laserdisc go I would want to probably double my profit or more. I like having it in my collection so it would really take a big offer for me to let it go. I am a fan of rare laserdiscs especially ones that still don't have a dvd or bluray release officially. I'm sure this has bootlegs on dvds but unsure if it's a bootleg of the vhs or laserdisc. I also know there's laserdisc captures of this online but they're not nearly as good in quality compared to the actual release. Analog source is a tricky source when it comes to laserdiscs. From what my eyes are showing me it appears laserdiscs look their best when being played on an actual laserdisc video quality wise. I also believe people aren't using the best capture devices to capture analog sources.

This ultra rare laserdisc just sold for about the same price I paid. Dark Tide just sold for around $130-140 again. Previous buyer was me and I don't remember who I bought from. Would be funny if this was the same seller and he had another copy or he has a bunch more than we know and puts it up every year or so to sell the so called ultra rare laserdisc. :lol:

Interesting.

I didn't think it was worth all that much. I only paid $20 for mine.

Just how rare are the Korean Indiana Jones Laserdiscs. I had purchased Temple of Doom without an OBI and suddenly i see a seller has Temple with OBI, and Last Crusade with Obi. But at 90 dollars each they can keep 'em.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) [SLC-017C] and other Korean releases are quite rare because they were reserved for the South Korean market only and the country had little interaction with the rest of the world by the mid-90's.

SAMSUNG basically ported LaserDisc from Japan to South Korea.

Took 3 years after LDDb.com launched to get a first mainstream movie released in Korea listed here: Back to the Future (1985) [SLC-010C]
