Excuse my ignorance, but I don't buy DVDs. If I want stuff that's out on DVD, I can download it for $0.00. Having all Urusei Yatsura episodes on DVD is not impressive at all. The LD box will weight something like 25 kilos, and it'll be just HUGE. I like huge things. So, I like LDs. And life is not about getting stuff cheap (imho). :) Pictures of my Animeigo LD Box (containing eps 1-38): http://www.pustan.com/ld/us/urusei.html Some more discs among these: http://www.pustan.com/ld/us/index_u.html#uy1
Anyways this discussion kinda went in a completely different direction, I was asking for info (and am still) and not how I can get Lum from Best Buy for 10 bucks.
Any information to the initial question is very welcome, thank you very much.
Cheers, Alex.

I already posted some info about why is the price so high on the KFLD-1001~1050...
So if you like huge things why dont you go all the way and pay a huge price for the KFLD-1001~1050... LoL It is a rare Item...
But anyway you seem to already decide on which to buy --- Quote ---I feel tempted to try and buy PCLA-150 because the late pressing date suggests better mastering quality of the discs. --- End quote ---

Hello FallinG_StaR!
Yes I have seen your post, though it's not the info i am looking for.
The SRP (Suggested Retail Price) of KFLD-1001~50 was 330,000 Yen in 1990. The SRP for PCLA-150 was 231,140 Yen in 2000. Those SRPs are printed by the manufacturer onto the boxes themselves. Sometimes they are only printed onto the so called 'Obi strip'. I don't think that in 1990, the manufaturer thought 'cool we make this set super expensive because it's gonna be a collectors item, LoL, and in 2000 we gonna publish another set for much less, LoL.' Kinda doesn't make sense. LoL
Market price for KFLD-1001~50 in japan is $1600+ depending on cosmetics and useage etc. Yamada is known to be an extremely overpriced shop on many items, LoL, sometimes they have one or two neat things at 'close to normal' prices. I was putting that url in my first topic for information purposes only, hence my remark 'That guy's price is insane btw...' LoL.
Thanks anyways. Really appreciate it.

Btw, do you know whats economic and technological growth??? Let me put things this way, for example in 1990 the LD collection costs 330,000 Yen because like every new technology the LD's for the first years tends to be expensive... and in 2000 with the DVD and other things it wouldn't make sense if they set the same price as 10 years ago because they wouldn't sell it... and probably they made more copies available on the market in 2000 and that could lower the prices too...
Anyway lets forget about this... whatever your option I'm sure you will enjoy it...

Due to the fact that DVD was on the market, pressing numbers for LDs were as low as 'pre-order only'. Besides the fact that these big boxsets never sell in large numbers because of the initial price. I would guess (I don't know, but then in this whole thread everything is guess so far) that less than 500 sets of PCLA-150 exist. Maybe even only half of that... someone tell me about it.
--- Quote ---Anyway lets forget about this... --- End quote --- Yes, because that still did not help answer my question at all, because the question was what the difference between the sets is. And if anyone had any information at all about PCLA-150. The price issue is not really important.
