VHS/Other The Laserdisc Collection/Discussion Thread

Still got my player and still love playing discs. Haven't bought any for a while and have noticed the prices rising again on certain films on eBay.
It was once the pride and joy of my home cinema, and there's still nothing cooler than watching peoples faces as you load one.
Isn't it great? They look at you like a crazy person but you know their secretly jealous
I really miss the packaging & covert art on these. Here's one I picked up at the thrift store last month:

lol, recently a friend was over and she thought they were soundtrack LP's till I opened one and loaded it. Oh she was jealous alright, they might not steal the thunder image wise anymore but they are so much cooler to own than a little box. As much as I adore my steelbooks, some of these large box sets destroy them.
Awesome collections Ninjas! 
I used to have a Pioneer Player that my father gave to me many years ago, it stopped working so I got rid of it, to this day I still REGRET selling the Laserdiscs! 
But I only kept the ones that I only really cared for! 
I added them to my King Kong Collection

Is this a 'show your age' thread???
If so, consider me an old fart. I have about 200 laserdiscs that I am slowly converting to DVD before my Pioneer DVL-90 gives up the ghost!

LOL! I'm only 37, came to laserdiscs about 3 years before they finally died to dvd. I even still bought them after dvd came out as some of the first dvd's were garbage compared to some of the THX lasers. The sound was much better too 
Amazing art on the Laserdiscs-thanks for posting, everyone!

Thanks Digitalbabe
They are fun, especially for those just into all the artwork that went into producing them. A lot of the artwork and covers on the ones I have, I have never seen on any dvd/blu-ray box. Some of the artwork would make fantastic steelbooks.Dave

Really proud to add the Godfather Trilogy to my collection. This has been recut into chronological version by the director.
The Laserdiscs really lent themselves to beautiful limited editions. @Lollard2002 , did you see @ricster also has the Snow White set you like so much?

Free jack a guilty pleasure growing up.
Fight club amazing artwork and a rare japanese dolby digital ac-3 5.1EX surround.
Great condition and so pleased. Yes the LD blows the dvd and Blu sound away. Awesome bass in the opening credits by the dust brothers
And Indy set with faux leather I've wanted for ages. Awesome.

Started collecting LDs after moving to Japan 8 years back. Lots and lots of Laserdiscs to be found over here. At some great prices too! Collection grew to about 1400. But after gaining a wife and having a kid, plus a few sales, it's slowly been cut back down to about 500.
