-> This is my problem... The town I live in is kinda small and I have ye
-> find a place that sells any kind of lasers. Oh well..... :)
Yes, if you live in a smaller town you probably would be best served by
getting involved with mail-order comapnies like Ken Crane's Laser Discs
(where I found "Song of The South") and Columbia House. In fact, we do
business with these companies fairly frequently even 'though we DO live
in a big city.
You need to know, however, that there is just no way to get the older
laser discs that Disney now has on hiatus. For these you have to go to
collectors and the like and the discs are VERY expensive.
-> Sounds like you have a wonderful collection. In alot of ways a
-> collection of
-> American history. What I'd really like to see is the live park
-> footage from the
-> 50s and 60s... It would be interesting to see just how things have
-> changed and grown..
Yes, we have a lot of that kind of stuff. You get to see the flying
saucers, the house of tomorrow, the journey into inner space and things
like that. We also have specials that were done to celebrate the
openning day of special rides and attractions - such as the day the
Monorail was opened (by Richard Nixon) and the day the Matterhorn
Bobsleds took off.
-> That really is the bottom line. I used to collect baseball cards and
-> quit because I let it become a business. I told my wife if I started
-> any kind of Disney collection I'd never want to see any kind of
-> price guide.
My collection is worth a lot but I don't keep up on price-guides. After
all, I never got any of this stuff to re-sell it later. I got it because
it is my hobby - a fun hobby. I am not interested in selling it to
other. I don't want to make a profit off of it - I just want to have the
stuff and enjoy it.
