The item ended before i could get back to the fella, but I'm betting he didn't know, as he didn't have any other info on the sale except "200ft Black Hole". It didn't have any picture of the box, either.
Honestly, I've never even seen the box for this release, (and until I saw it on ebay, I didn't even know it was released as a 200ft. version) I would hope that it had thier arrival on the Cygnus (I think that's how it's spelled), and that great crane shot as they enter the bridge of the ship. Except for the cornball robots, (with those damned goofy big eyes on them) I thought the film was pretty darn passable entertainment, and certianly a big step up for Disney, special effects wise. It paved the way for such great films as TRON in the future, (another RARE extract on super 8!) It probably sold for a lot, as it was up to 22.00 dollars with five hours left the last time I saw it, kind of like the 200ft. Empire strikes back!
Long live super 8mm!!!

I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but I'm certain that Disney did not realease a digest of 'Tron'. I have 2 trailers with different content, so maybe there's confusion with these. I looked up the previous thread on 'Tron', which included this post:
in autumn 1982, Piccolo Film in Munich/Germany negotiated with Disney about a Super 8 release of "Tron". But as super 8 sales had hit rock bottom at this point of time and everybody was very unsure about the future of 8mm, there was a survey by the German magazine "Kinothek/Videoplay" to find out if collectors were willing to invest in a one-, two- or three-parter. The result seems to have been daunting: It seems the film was never released by Piccolo, and since then Piccolo has never shown any interest in releasing new super 8 films again.
