Not a get but my cousin just dropped off a 1up street fighter cab for me to put together and keep until Christmas eve for his son.

Honestly the best thing about the 1up cabs are the stools. I have my MK2 one and it's awesome, goes so well with the cab

I'd love the Ridge Racer cab, I'd sell the two I have to get that, but no one is importing them :(

'Just' $394 to have it fright forwarded by shipito.com ...and then taxes/duties

CiDeRmAn

Jaysus it would be cheaper to build it myself!

DaveyDave

Very surprised nobody in the EU has imported these, I've had several bikes shipped from Germany for €50, latest one even came on a cardboard pallet. RRP would likely be higher but the shipping costs would probably be grand so it's not like they'd be way out on pricing to not sell. The newer 1Ups surely have a wider appeal too.

Jack burton

1ups seem to be a huge Christmas item since they were released.

I'd guess in 3-4 years though adverts will be flooded with them for cheapish. They are grand but hard to complete against the PS5 etc for most people who get them as presents

Think I got a pretty good pickup. Big shout-out to eddhorse for sending me the link.

Just from the pictures alone of what I can see it's a good deal.

The CLD 2950 is a very decent player(and this one has the AC3 already done). I've got one alongside my CLD-D925.

The discs in that ad are worth the cost alone (was thinking of going for it myself just for the discs 🙂)

DaveyDave

I love the size of Laserdiscs. Something about the large format makes it more appealing than just a VHS or DVD case. Looks like a sweet collection too.

Do you have an idea of what else is there or is it a bit of a surprise? I'm actually jealous at the idea of flicking through a collection of 80s/90s Laserdiscs...

Jack burton

After seeing more of the discs and I am very happy 😁

geotrig

eddhorse

Really looking forward to seeing some photos of these, instant collection for 250 euro - one of the biggest bargains we've ever had on here I reckon!

Looking forward to movie night at Jack Burton's :D

Hearing the sound of a laserdisc spinning up for the first time - anticipation of wondering what the video quality will be like and then tinged with fear of the noise of a disc that big ramping up to 1800rpm (I think?)

CiDeRmAn

I suppose a 29" Trini is the best, easy to find, way to watch an LD?

Or would one be seeking a 16:9 CRT by Sony instead?

CiDeRmAn

Also, wish I had a time machine so I could grab the LD and movies first... bugger

I'd have looked forward to buying them off you in the future. Pity.

Laserdisc on a PVM/BVM looks really nice. That's how i view them mostly. The only problem is the "newer" laserdiscs that are all widescreen.

I got these Persona 3 movie booklets, I thought they were flyers so was really surprised, as well as a character acrylic and armband.

I got this 80s Girly Design book that I wanted for ages too, I got another book but it didn't ship yet.

Made a little video of the laser disc haul.

There's so much to even get through. Have to build some good storage for all these now over Christmas

I don't think I'd ever bother actually watching a laserdisc film in these 4K days, but nonetheless that's a very impressive haul of discs and a hell of an instant collection! Still plenty of value in the likes of the Star Wars trilogy since George Lucas went on to ruin almost all future home releases of those movies!

Last time I watched the original trilogy, I went with the full quality ~20GB de-specialised editions....wow, I can say for certain I'll never watch the official releases again. For the Prequel Trilogy I went with the HAL9000 edits, and again, wow....they're so much more focused. No amount of editing can really Save EPII, but I and III and actually very decent in this guise. It's really impressive what can be done, and how they can change the narrative at will with edits and new shots/effects....Padme gets a new ending in EPIII, one that's far more fitting and not at all eye rolling. The sequel trilogy I suppose I just don't know well enough yet to bother with fanedits, but they're out there too.

Went wild and picked up a MiSTer FPGA board setup. Found it interesting that when I kicked off an update it just started to download the arcade core ROM files (in whatever funky format the cores wanted).

Need to grab a game 'best of' for the console/computer cores.

Colonel Panic

Mistercade time. Looks pretty good, although I need to align my display image and adjust the colours.

Aye. Must have been the update_all script you ran. Absolute essential script for MiSTer use IMO. Just cleans up, arranges, downloads everything you need (especially on the Arcade side)....even renames the core list if you want.

Worth running every now and then (or at the very least, then standard update script) just to stay on top of the latest core revisions etc

eddhorse

Great workand also to @Colonel Panic for the Mistercade, how much did you get stung for shipping/customs?
