the big bone of contention however is that since young indy is 4:3 full frame for the episodes then no good, since there is japanese subtitles within the picture.
The picture mastering on the japanese box set is good for the year it was released 1993, and is probalbly better than any vhs off t.v. Unless of course someone taped them on beta sp or vhs in sp mode in pal.
if you want more info on that set simply go to the laserdisc database and type in a search for young indiana jones.
I just looked at that info on the page there again and it does say subtitles in picture, only contains 15 episodes of the series and a making of.
