A great box set. Good art, layout and sound mix. Even has a copy of the novel and a CD of the soundtrack in its own jewel case.

The story goes that MGM unearthed the 30-minute longer “roadshow” 70mm print of The Alamo when preparing this laserdisc box release. When it came time to transfer it to DVD or Blu-ray, the quality of the print had degraded beyond usability.

It seems someone has made a BD of this version, but it’s said it’s a transfer from the LD.

Maserati made fewer Quattroportes, the first car, than Lamborghini made Countaches, the second. The QP is worth $10k, the Countach is worth $700k.

Things can be both scarce and worthless, if nobody wants the rare product.
