VHS/Other The Laserdisc Collection/Discussion Thread

I have TWO laserdisc players. An ancient (as far as technology is concerned) Pioneer LD-1100 top loader in a beige plastic thats about 30 years old and uses a tube laser, and a somewhat more advanced Pioneer CLD-D515 which plays CD's, is NTSC capable, plays both sides of a laserdisc, and so on. I'm going to see if I can sell the C515, and the LD-1100 really belongs in a museum. I have a few music discs, like 'Adam and the Ants - live in Japan', Toyah, Duran Duran and Kate Bush, all of which never made it to other formats (mostly perhaps for a good reason...). Oh yes, and the 'saucy' (for the time) Caledonian Dreams, featuring young ladies cavorting around in the surf topless.
This is my Lion King Collector's Edition. The detailing on this set is unbelievable.
Just got this in today

No. The last LDs were made in the early 2000s, I believe, and LD tech actually made way for the CD! I only started collecting about 2 years ago. I was reading about LD and discovered that it's actually an important part of home movie viewing history so I bought a player and a few movies off craigslist. It makes a good conversation starter sitting with all my other equipment Call me crazy for collecting an old format but I really like the nice box sets as you probably niticed
The box sets I have so far are Fantasia Special Edition (US, 1991), the Indiana Jones Trilogy (JP, 1993), BTTF Trilogy (JP), and the Godfather Trilogy 1901-1980 (US, 1992) which is all 3 movies edited together chronologically. Its a really nice set and should be pictured earlier in this thread. I also have the Beverly Hills Cop Trilogy (JP) on the way. I also have about 15 other movies on LD as well.

Got my CLD-515 in the mid 90's. Always wanted 925 or 909 (which was gold and played dvd and laserdisc). Most I ever paid for LaserDisc was £120 for The Man Who Fell To Earth. The 515 bit the dust unfortunatley,but I've still got about 100 discs. The artwork is great, especially some of the gatefold editions.
I have had my Pioneer CLD2950 for many years - fantastic machine .
Have around 60 movies also the T2 and Star Wars Boxsets.

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.
