How much does each set cost?
How much DID each set cost when it was first available?
I know people like digitalfreaknyc and others are willing to post to anywhere in the world. Is this the case with TR-47?
I have both the TR47 set and the Anamorphic set and agree with TR47's comparison review 100%. It just depends on what's important to you, no frills DVDs that are almost identical to laserdisc quality or DVDs with slightly less audio and video quality, but with all the bells and whistles.
TR47 recently reduced his price and sells his four disc set on high quality media for $25 shipped and includes an artwork CD with a few different types of covers. US sales only.
Rikter has both the TR47 four disc set and the Anamorphic four disc set. He looks for trades first or a donation of $4 per disc. I don't know what kind of media he is using, but I have had no troubles with any of the discs he sent me. He also has an artwork disc with many different types of covers.
His shipping prices -
United States
1-3 DVDr Shipping included in price
4-6 DVDr Shipped first class $2
6-15 DVDr Shipped Priority $5
Canada and elsewhere else via Global Priority:
1-10 DVDr - $5
10-20 DVDr - $12
digitalfreaknyc at one time was offering to burn the Anamorphic set for free if you sent him the blank media and included return postage, but I don't know if he is still doing this.
By the way, the fourth disc of supplemental material from both sets is the same.
I have dealt with both Rikter and TR47 and can say they are both honorable people. Both sets are worth either of their prices. Remember, not only are they burning the DVDs, but they buy the media, pack it up, and take it to the post office. It's a small price to pay for their time to do this and the wear & tear on their equipment.
