I'm just bummed that the 8" bonus disc (or was it 5½"? I forget) includes the movie version of the short and not the '70s original. But at least that means I don't have to worry about missing out on it.

Yeah. It is slightly different than the movie and it’s CAV, with a track list even.

Would still love to have the Japanese boxset of Twin Peaks, but at least I have all the US ones now.

This is probably the one on my radar that I will probably never obtain.

Golden Age of Looney Tunes, The: vol.5 1932-1949 [ML105135]

I should have completed my collection 22 years ago when I had the chance :thumbdown:

Theres a copy of Tarzan on sale on ebay right now for 270 euros. It would be a great one to own but that is a lot of money. Especially when u could buy the dvd for £2.

This box has 99% of all the older black and white or pre character cartoons, I had it and watched it once and
decided to sell it as I really wanted the major stars of those cartoons.

I'm looking for the US squeeze titles in the wild but would never pay a premium for them. Also, Make Mine Music which is Japan only and very pricey. I'd never pay that much for a LD. Let It Be would be cool, but again ridiculously priced considering rot status, that its PS and the new version is on the way hopefully. I was looking for the Duck Tales pilot movie which is also Japan only but recently found it on DVD for $3.

Well.... I guess I don’t feel so bad about it now. However, still would be nice to complete the collection. Still on my watch list nevertheless.

I gave up on those box sets. It’s not like they are complete anyway. I get a lot more value from the individual releases. Hare Beyond Compare, Curtain Calls, Duck Victory, Assorted Nuts, these can be had for under $10 on a good day. They are some of my favorite LDs.

There are a few & most of them are the F1 LDs but they are not really so called "high value" discs.

It has taken around 15 years or so but I have managed to pick up all (I think) of the PIONEER compilation box sets & most of the individual discs they released but there are quite a few gaps still to fill.

They are for sale but at ridiculous prices & some sellers on ebay have had them listed for years, over 10 years in a few sellers listings. I have occasionally asked if they would accept (in my opinion) more realistic prices but the usual response that they are "VERY RARE" & the like with me being told that they "will sell" even though they have had listed for ages.

I will wait until they come up at more fair prices, patience often pays off & I am quite happy to play the waiting game - that is the way I have picked up most of my must have LDs.

I do get the comment from zeta about not wanting to state the must have titles, supply & demand & all that.

One response I once had from a seller on one of the F1 LDs I was after was that it was a "super rare disc as it was not listed on the LDDB site" so it must be worth his asking price - I have since acquired it & the seller has his still listed for sale. I have updated the site here so perhaps not "super rare" now!

Good luck with the LD hunt guys :thumbup:

That is an awesome post and an admirable attitude at that. I am not interested in those late film releases ( Matrix, etc. ) at all. I can easily buy these things on Blu Ray for 5 € tops.

I think it is cool that you are collecting Formula 1 discs. It is a real special interests area.
The only Formula 1 disc I have in my collection is the It's Real - Suzuka Grand Prix 1991-92 MUSE disc and during my last visit to Japan I found and bought part 1 of its NTSC counterpart
for 300 Yen. The MUSE disc itself looks excellent.

I am mostly interested in collecting rarer things such as Dolby Surround demonstration discs, BGV titles, Japanese music titles, weird and obscure demonstration discs from
South Korea or Indonesia, etc. I always buy those when I see them. They are often unique and unavailable on other formats, except VHS maybe. I only buy films if it is a Criterion title
or something that would be interesting to have on laserdisc.

For me it's probably The Golden Age of Looney Tunes Vol 5. I I really want to complete the collection, but I'm never going to spend what everyone asks for this box set.

I'd love to have the Japanese releases of V: The Original Series, V: The Final Battle, V: The TV Series and Song of the South. Also a copy of KISS Meets the Phantom would be cool as well.

There are two discs that I desperately want in my collection.

The Matrix ( I used to have it, but sold it because extra cash was needed ).
American Pie.

What Laserdiscs do you want but are too expensive?
