Currently on eBay there is a copy of the LD for $45. There are also two DVD's. One at $9.99 with no bids and another for $24.95 BIN (gotta love the scalp there). I have an email into the $9.99 guy asking him if it is a VHS or LD rip. We'll see if he answers me.

Paramount has a long history of having their heads up their asses when it comes to DVD releases. We got two releases of Apocalypse and absolutely s**t for supplementals. The first disc had the Kurtz compound destruction scene with commentary and excerpts from the program, but nothing on the Redux release. Hell, all they would have to do is rerelease the first or second version and slap HOD on a second disc and they would have a new dip 2 disc that everyone would buy. I did a quick check and they still have the rights. But as has so often been the case with them, they don't seem to care what their consumers want to buy. (Check out the upcoming Titanic snafu for more evidence of this. Thank God there is the overseas Fox version to buy on that one. From a company that does DVD RIGHT.)
