Thanks, Mielr. They look okay to me, and as you mentioned the actual discs are better in reality. The ESB emperor clip looked especially good.
It stinks that I can't find the LE of ANH.
You'll find it eventually. Check eBay & Amazon frequently. Plus, you can always get d_j's version, or the Lucasfilm Pwnage version.

Yet, upon approaching the section from the side, I saw a thick black box sitting in there. Could it be? I walked closer. Was it really? Sitting in front of one of the rows was the 1993 Definitive Collection. I checked it out, verified the contents, and purchased the damn thing. It was $20 which seems like a great deal - typical price is anywhere from $50 to $200 on ebay, based on condition.
Those DC LDs are notorious rotters, but the book alone is worth the price you paid, even if the discs are no good. My book didn't have a slipcover, either. I got a used set, too, so I'm wondering if the books in that set even had slipcovers to begin with?
