I found this one above....it's the Hologram box set....4 days left on it.


Yeah, there are a few still up, but I was much more willing to pay the < $10 prices that they'd been going for up until a few days ago...

So I guess I either need to be more patient, or pull a Dr. Georgelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the GOUT.

The one you're searching for, is it the VHS companion to the DC?


Not that I'm aware of, it's pre-THX. I've read some who say that this VHS set, the Fox Special Widescreen LaserDiscs, and the Japanese Special Collection are all from the same master, but I've also read that they're not...so...Idunno.

I think the "hologram" VHS set, even though it's not THX and is a different transfer as the DC is still sort of considered the "companion" to the DC LD set due to the fact that they were released the same year, and both had the George Lucas book included (the VHS book being the abridged version).
