Grapevine has this on sale for $12.99 so I ordered it. I'm not usually a cowboy fan, but it's got Nazis so I'm in. Funny thing-- postman stumbles up to me as I'm shoveling the fourth foot of snow in a week, hands me what I thought was this serial. Woo hoo says me as I head inside to watch a chapter. I crack it open and the box is pink? What the? I say. Sailor Moon vol 2 which the Mrs ordered. Maybe tomorrow. |

A good serial choice, Bat-buddy. KotTR is a fun one. |

I'm going to guess it was sourced from the Republic Laserdisc release. |

It's been a while since I watched it, but checking my notes, I said: "Decent copy - upgrade if perfect copy becomes available". |

LOL - I guess I should have done that, we do have that darn list, after all. I would rate picture/sound a solid 7.5/8, based on my comments. |

I just realized Andy ordered the Grapevine version, which I didn't know about. I believe my release is from VCI, but I can't find the title on their website now. |

VCI didn't release this; I have AC Comics' version. |

![]() Got the serial-- sound is good, picture is decent. I'm going to bet very close to what the AC version is. It lacks a little bit of contrast but overall very solid. Fun serial so far. |

That's clearly not sourced from the LaserDisc. It's a bit too soft. |

Agreed, Jazzy. The AC Comics version looks much sharper. |

I could be misremembering, but my recollection is that Jack mastered his KotTR from an original 16mm print he rented from a friend of mine. The Republic Home Video version was mastered from 35mm elements. That would account for the slightly softer appearance of Grapevine's DVD. |
