Looks and sounds good.

I like the use of the red…

Bring on December 😃

^ I lose count of the number of times I’ve had to gently move someone out of the way who are very busy and engrossed in their phones - as opposed to looking where they are walking - when out shopping.

Another reason why internet shopping appeals!

You have to register there to be able to download the covers - though they are usually ‘decent to very high quality’ covers and have their own forums too.

Don’t you have to pay in order to download uncompressed covers on that site? It’s ridiculous.

I think they have a Gold Membership thing for $10 annually where you can download any of the full size artwork there as often as you want (think the $10 is to help cover costs of hosting all the stuff they have there). Though for regular members you can download them for free (just in a smaller resolution/size).

Those covers above are in 6406x4293 for Gold Members - so IF* you only get half of that size for regular free members they’re still good quality covers for a 5 minute signup and browse around (and you may like it and stick around etc).

(* - I don’t know if you actually do get half size resolution - or smaller or larger than half sizes for free members).

The FAQ on there probably has more info on it - http://www.freecovers.net/faq

Hey NJVC, I quickly checked out your BD of SW and congrats to all your hard work in complimenting Harmy’s Movie with your wealth of Extras.

I can only echo what Sougouk says - massive thanks for all your efforts (and also to anyone/everyone who helped), nice one 😃

Not that it is of particular importance in the grand scheme of things, but I was digging around online to find better images of Trump’s Inauguration crowd vs Obama’s, since most outlets crop the images before the new buildings at the National Mall. Here is a comparison from Reuters shown on Japan Times, with the Trump picture allegedly taken at 12:01:

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/01/21/world/politics-diplomacy-world/trump-draws-far-smaller-inaugural-crowd-obama/#.WIWx6X1WJ8G

And a CBS report with the same image:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/photos-president-trumps-inauguration-crowd-vs-president-obamas/

An even more expansive shot, from slightly earlier:

I looked everywhere for a similar image for Trump’s inauguration, but I think it’s pretty safe to say there was nobody hanging out back there in the boonies.

Well, to be fair mate it seems camera improvements may not be as good as we’ve been led to believe…

I think you’d have to check just to make sure they are the actual retails dvd covers, but…

Freecovers.net does have a decent search function - so if they aren’t the exact covers you’re looking you may be able to find them still…

You have to register there to be able to download the covers - though they are usually ‘decent to very high quality’ covers and have their own forums too.

Good luck with it 😃

In the ‘star wars dvd covers’ thread on here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-DVD-Covers/id/741/page/178 - there are lots of alternative/edited/altered covers to those 2006 versions (and a lot more besides).

Have to say I’ve never seen one for sale mate - it seems most of the people on here make their own from scratch - or customise other old boxsets they no longer use, or have gone out a bought an older cheap one.

Maybe some of the dvd cover forums will have a better idea - or a link to where the film distributors buy theirs from (though could be looking at a significant amount of minimum orders etc?)

Good luck with though mate - be great to find a good value-for-money place that does 😃

.

May be worth asking in the comments section on these type of ‘make your own dvd box set’ videos too? Hopefully you’ll get an answer or a link etc:-

This is literally perfect

Some beautiful posters by Noble 6 at deviantart.com - many thanks for posting some of them mate.

http://noble–6.deviantart.com/gallery/

Does a fair few other sci-fi stuff too. Quality.

Stunning box and set mate - the sort of thing many of us would likely be hoping for if they ever did an official release of the OOT.

Some of the talented artists around here are phenomenal - and put a few of the professionals to shame.

^ nice looking boxset - really like the flip-top lid and love all the lobby cards too 😃

Nope, it doesn’t bother me one bit. Furthermore, I absolutely doubt that we can either change or affect it whatsoever. Besides, a warmer earth even by a degree is better for us, it allows more crops to flourish among many other things.

Plus, shall I again remind you “recorded history” is only the last 140 years? Unless you believe a young earth, then that’s pretty bad science to base an entire theory about the planet based only on .0000000001% of the earths history.

Meteorological charts go back to 1850 (thermometers etc) - so you’re getting on for 170 years. Still a small portion of the Earth’s history - but a reasonable point to measure when factoring in comparisons for the age of the Second Industrial Revolution (factories, urbanisation, smoke, grit, dust, grime, gas and chemicals, coal and mining taking place on a more ‘industrial’ scale leading to engines - powering and use of).

.

To the later question of ‘So, do you think it was hotter or colder during the Middle Ages?’ - that’s a wider-ranging question, when and where? At which point in the Middle Ages? Circa 1000 when some believe there to have been the Little Ice Age? Or the Warming Period in SouthEast Asia & parts of Northern Europe around the same time?

Am off too bed now (late in the UK) - but am curious as to your answer and why (as well as where and when).

You decide.

You want me to decide your answers to my questions - and also why you posed them?

Is it becoming clearer why I wouldn’t answer his stupid questions?

Abundantly Mr Frink, abundantly.

(or perhaps ferris209 shall answer your question - given his novel approach to conversations, questions, answers and ‘deciding’ 😉)

I made dvd labels, originally intended for MaximRecoil’s 1984 vhs set (hope he doesn’t mind). I just wanted something more than simple text despite it is classic. So i used his typeset recreation (with tiny tweak) and put some background images there.

…if anyone’s interested i’ll put links for hi-res

Top quality disc art mate - thank you for sharing - and, yes please put up some hi-res links of them.

Many thanks for your kind words too 😃

I’ve had most (but not all!) of the old covers being posted here, sitting on a hard disk for years. Since the photobucket links will probably eventually die and leave these pages looking rather bare, I have uploaded about 4 GB (so far) to my site. Many of them are the same as posted above, but at a higher resolution.

I’m still generating the pages to host them so not all of them are accessible yet but they will be soon.

Really good archive you have there and easy to navigate through too.

Plus some stuff not even on the Rikter disc - and a fair few modern covers/sets too 😃

Hey wow! Those are mine. Good find 😃.

I managed to get 99.7% of Rikter’s 2004-ish dvd covers collection downloaded (it gets stuck on 99.7 unfortunately & goes no further) - and yours are one of the few sets on there that are fully complete and was able to download/view properly 😃

Nice set mate - quite rare to find inserts back in the day too!

2004? Holy crap. You just made me feel very old. 😃 I have the ROJ disc label if you’re missing it.

http://stealthboy.com/images/roj.jpg

😃 When I saw I had some Lar4MF dvd covers - and that it was the same lad who started this very thread - and then saw the year… bloody hell! Rikter was offering out his superb covers cd/dvd shortly after (though it could be an updated/later version?)…

Thanks for that ROTJ discart - nice one - I’ve edited in to the previous post of your great stuff!

(took you long enough - 13 years mind 😉 - just kidding mate)

I’m off to see what all the fuss is about these TR47 and Dr Gonzo Original Trilogy sets - apparently they are better quality than the betamax tapes!

The 2 Ewok film dvd covers and disc art have been posted elsewhere on here recently, but just in case…

discart by rikter, covers by prillaman…

and

the very talented ‘Ell the Ewok’ has a dual dvd cover for both films here:-

the following set is not on the Rikter cover collection disc…

the quality EyeShotFirst 1992 VHS set…

EDIT - June 2017 : photobucket.com have been really annoying and have recently stopped 3rd party hosting - so many of the links for covers on the next few pages (pages 176 to 180) are now broken… (and I’m unwilling to pay the seemingly exorbitant $399 a year for the links to be to work again).

Fortunately all the covers posted are also stored in a googledrive - which is free and easy to use, view and download.
