I don't know anything about the movie, I think I saw a trailer once, all I know is that there's a killer robot with a ludicrous name (Frontline Morale Destroyer or something like that) and Brad Dourif.

That's a shame. I was hoping the killer robot would have a more sinister name like, I dunno, Alan.

Or Jonathan.

Something like that.

Good old school received this morning the "Creamy Mami"Laservision Long Goodbye movie (review soon)
and Vampire hunter D on VHS .

So Mami had a movie? Is it just one? I might have to join you a get a copy of VHD on VHS. I wonder if there is a beta as well. wouldn't mind adding them to the collection since its VHD.

Mami had a movie and some shorter OVAs and yes it is also on VHS and Betamax japan but i dont know about a VHD copy

The LD is a CAV release if you are interested

I was also talking about Vampire Hunter D (VHD) I would love to find those and add to the collection.

The Hunt is finally complete. The Castle of Cagliostro arrived today.

All the English Lupins released in Japan are now in my collection.

A copy of Castle sold on ebay before Christmas for around 50, I was going to buy it as I've had one in the past but then again
need to cut off my LD collecting.
Never had Mamo, I think its harder to find as its not a Miyazaki and others didn't import or export it as much.

55 USD + astronomical shipping costs and a ripped OBI. That is quite expensive actually.
Mine are minters.

Fresh arrival from Japan.

I now for no apparent reason have the US release, Japanese release and the DVD release.

Yes it was not the condition you would prefer but for me from Japan using buyee to me for a single disc was costing 35,
10 for film and 25 shipping and that's if your film is a single disc.

So that box would have been 10+25+25 and whatever the book would have been in weight.
Roughly around 60 straight from Japan give or take a few bucks.

I in total spent just over 40 EUR including shipping ( airmail ) from buyee.

Must be due to distance.
I didn't get any deals on my last and final LD haul from Japan.

Cheapest disc I picked up was On Oghan Bat, was total 25 bucks, 8 for the disc then fees and all shipping.
Forgot about fees from buyee too.

Was one of the last in the order to fill out the package, also didn't even pay for the extra insurance or examinations, that would
have added another 5 each disc, so Oghan would have been 30.


BTW never saw spelling of Ogon Bat for the last 30+ years of knowing this character until now on the internet.

Sea mail package arrival. Buyee is always spot on with their arrival estimates.

Enjoy that Godfather Collection! Watch them all in one sitting?

Finally got these music video LDs I bought off of Yahoo Japan back in August. Some of these videos I didn't know existed, though I had heard the songs.

Only downside is that the Video Rock Attack disc is in MONO.

My second DTS disc.

Last week I got a copy of Home Alone 2 with seemingly identical mint marks (DADC Japan) to the one listed on the database. Are there usually multiple copies of a title with the same mint marks?

Always, not just usually. It's an ID for a specific pressing, not a specific physical disc, so what you're seeing is to be expected. If they were different, then you'd want to add them to the page after double-checking the catalogue number.
