I hope Spielberg leaves em as they are.

I watched Back to the Future on DVD recent and I was refreshed to hear that Zemekis was against special editions and re-edits. As far as he is concerned you make a film and put it out there. I tend to agree but I still find myself helping to fill Lucas' pockets.

Guys,

How did you manage to rip the deleted scenes footage from Behind the Magic CD-ROM? I have been trying to find out how to do this for years?!

Thanks oojason. I have dropped Rikter a line (PM and email) to ask if he would be kind enough to sort me out with a copy. I am an editor myself so I look forwrd to seeing his work. Looking forward to hearing from you Rikter.

Thanks

Hi all!

Oojason, did you have any luck getting hold of the DVD-R of Balance of the Force? I really can't wait to get hold of it and see what Episode 1 really should have been like!

I just don't want to be another in a long list of people bothering Rikter. Let me know if you were/are successful.

Many Thanks
Jim

I very much doubt that the people who have downloaded the ROTJ DVD will not be buying it when it comes out. I would say that the majority of them have already pre-ordered it.

Out of interest, how long did it take for you to download it?

The problem is that there are still muppets out there who fall for these marketing ploys. Luke with disgruntled expression variant, Leia with ankle bracelet, Han Solo with 'Shoots first' gun!

I agree that the best way to get into the vintage market, which Hasbro clearly want a piece of, is to make vintage style figures of characters that were not released at the time (Tarkin, Leia in Bikini etc), whilst still be sympathetic to collectors.

Hasbro - we do not need more Lukes, or Han's! If they just read the forums once in a while they would realise this!

There are several versions of the film with different audio tracks and very minor alterations. i am sure they have been discussed on here at some point, if not someone of the web will have listed them, have a search around.

If you want to know how many releases there have been on video and dvd etc, take a look at this site

I must admit I didn't like many of the obvious changes.

But I was happy with the minor changes:

The 'push in' on the establishing shot of the Sandcrawler.
The tilt down from the colourful sky as R2 enters the canyon.
Correcting the colour of the sky as Luke and C3P0 talk about R2 missing.

Oh, and some of the Death Star battle stuff wasn't bad.

Yeah, I have visited toy fairs etc. But loose cardbacks are fairly hard to find as lots of people just have them sitting in their loft or they were thrown out altogther.

I have made a quick site of my cardbacks here

If any of you find any - let me know. I am willing to pay good prices.

Thanks

I purchased a tape in 1992 with all of the Kenner ads on there.

Someone else did all the work!

Thanks guys. I found that one already. There are a few other sites too. http://www.bubblegoose.com/ClassicCommercials/commercials.html has several of the old kenner ads.

I am currently seeking video/TV clips of Vintage Toys. I have all of the Kenner commercials, but I am now looking for any other vintage toy related footage.

In particular, any of the Palitoy adverts aired in the 80s.

I am willing to buy/trade.

Thanks

Yes I have tried ebay with some success. But I have also found success on Star Wars forums. The exception being this one. Never mind.
