STAR WARS Trilogy Box Set

Came across a Star Wars Trilogy pack from back in '91 or '92.
Apparently worth $100 back then, is it worth anything nowadays?


MINT condition ***NEVER OPENED*** 4 VHS box set!!!
Deluxe Holographic Gift Box - Full-grain textured blue coloured case features a stunning hologram portrait of the “Star Wars” characters.
All three ORIGINAL letterboxed versions of the movies (not the later CGI "enhanced" editions) plus "From Star Wars to Jedi" making of video.
Also includes "George Lucas Creative Impulse" soft-cover book (abridged version-48 pages by Charles Champlin).
Every set came with a stiff-paper “Certificate of Authenticity” with graphics and a “thank you” message signed by George Lucas.

Was wondering if it was actually worth buying as a collectable

the VHS of the trilogy are anyone's best bet for this, I still have my box set

Don't know as to its value but the damn thing looks really cool - almost like an old PC game. How much is it going for now?

I still have my copy of this. It was the first time I'd seen a letterboxed VHS. The "Making of" special is pretty good, but it focuses a lot more on "Jedi" than the other two, since it was produced at the time "Jedi" was being released. The book is pretty good, too. I've held on to mine because I bought the first DVD set when it came out and refused to buy them again just for the original version DVDs that are basically the same thing as these videos. If they ever clean up the originals for a DVD release, I may consider getting rid of it, but not until then.

I think they may be doing some artifact removal on the originals for the new upcoming Blu-ray release. I've heard the transfers are looking great and some of the previously unreleased deleted scenes are supposed to be spectacular.

Not a fan of Star Wars. The original was good, the rest were subpar.

Damn, I would kill for an original VHS box set of the Star Wars trilogy. At least I still have my Return of the Jedi bed sheets... =)

Can I haz now?

Why don't you buy the 8-track tape of the soundtrack while you're at it. =p

I wouldn't buy it no matter how much I loved SW.

No, its not worth it. You can get these films online, but you have to... (gasp!) download them. I have them on my HD right now. It was a wonderful fan made collection called the Rebel Collection. The three films in their original format and untouched, in all their grainy, cheesy, glorious goodness.

If you send me an envelope with only $50 in it I'll be happy to tell you where to get them. Sounds like you just saved yourself 50 bucks eh?
