So, my film is being used for reference? Wow. I am always happy to help. I am curious, though. Which film did you use? Of all the films I've posted on Youtube, there are only two that I know of that were printed on LPP. "Empire Strikes Back Part 2" and "Mickey's Memorable Moments".
Now, about your purchase. Congratulations. Sounds like you're getting some great looking film, Winbert.
I sort of did the same thing right before Christmas. I have been using my eBay profits to buy 200' Disney animated digests. I missed the ones I sold last year. I am also getting a few I never had before. I have to say, they look so much better than the ex-library films. In fact, most of the films that have come from the U.K. look amazing. Brilliant colour. Buck Labs, maybe? Anyway, I will be posting them soon to the 'Tube. Stay tuned.

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow just a dream away.

Bill,
Gian (member of this forum) has almost all Disney extracts (200') on LPP stock.
If you buy WDHM from UK most likely will be on Fuji (as you say Buck lab) or Kodak. But if you buy from France, majority WDHM there were printed on AGFA, hence no fade. If you buy from Italy, most of them are on faded stock, but the later prints are on LPP (I have one).
Now, from USA, I finally know that the later prints are also on LPP. Beside Chris Fries (you can check his youtube link) also Christian has this 400' digest on LPP. He put the screen shot on the other forum.
Anyway back to the large order that I am being wait, as I mentioned in Osi's thread titled "Little Black Sambo", these 30+ reels are exactly unusal like Osi's film, i.e the story, the controversy, the company who released, the print quality, etc.
I ran to "sacrifice" my $600 since I found on youtube most of the cartoons I purchased were banned by the US governement because of that controversy. I am not going to discuss about the controversy here, because politic is not our cup of tea in this forum. But this is truly not a Tom & Jerry or Disney that I can easily screen for my kids.
Lucky me that I am now being posted overseas by my governemnt. Just if I were in Indonesia, spending $600 is equal to my 2 months salary! My wife will straight hang me on the window if she found me doing this.... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I finally received my films......!
ps: why we always think that the forwarder companies are really slow when we are expecting something?.... hahaha! LOL
pss: I alwyas love to tell the story by sharing some photos, so you also enjoy my heart beat.....LOL!
So today, I received a large and heavy box (25 lbs/11 kgs) as below:
Quickly I opened the box, and nothing was going to impress me since they were all in white boxes. (I am a collector who admire the box' artworks)
But I let them on the floor so I know what were they. There were around 30+ reels plus some 400' (Blackhawk and L&H "Flying Dueces" on multiple reels).
On the second row was the usual Disney and Woody....!
But the 4th row was all Red Fox...so good there!
Now, my eyes stuck on a plastic shopping bag which definitely they were seen as 1200 feet reels.
I opened the plastic bag, and found three big containers (16mm container) containing 2 * 1200' each.
So I checked one by one:
I did order this L&H, and lucky me to find this title already on 1200', so no need to change the reel often.
And check the second container:
It was King Kong (B/W from RKO) which I also ordered and happy to find on big reels like this.
And finally I found another container without any title written there:
It is only a plain container....but my heart beat was noisier than usual ...hahaha...is this the one that the seller promised to include??
So I opened it carefully to find:
I was quite surprised and quickly pull the leader.
ps: Man...I step on it and some leader got creased ! too..bad... but that 's only the leader!
....of Star Wars...yeah still feel bad ;-).....
So take an emergency screen shot ...and you can see the beautiful of 20th Century Fox logo there:
...and cinemascope too!
(forgive me for the bad Iphone camera)
I don't know if I can say that I've bought 30+ cartoons + 3 full features and got Star Wars full feature as a bonus, or the opposite...,
I bought a Star Wars Full feature and got bonus 30+ cartoons and 3 full features...hahaaha LOL!
But to sum up, I am a happy camper now.... and can join the club of Star Wars owner here! :-)

Akhsay,
I knew he mentioned Star Wars. But the first deal was for the Cartoons where I was offered with unusual cartoons. Just If they were Disney or Techno Films which we already heard their titles from time to time, I wouldn't be that excited.
So I agreed to buy 30+ of his cartoon at relatively low prices. Later he offered me to buy more films. At this second lot I agreed to buy several features.
Because it is King Kong and L&H which I love to collect I agreed to pay it. At the day before the shipment he decided to offer me Star Wars making all purchase to become almost $600. This was actually already beyond my budget. But I was simply thingking that even spending $600 without SW, the average cost for a cartoon was only $10 (mind you that there were King Kong and 3 L&H features beside the cartoons). So I only said to my self, if the SW didn't show up just enjoy the cartoons, they were already a good deal. But should the SW was included, think itt as a bonus!
The seller knew the price of SW. He is not a layman. He is a true super 8 collector. In fact a day before the shipment, his friend told him that SW has certain value. He told me about it but he decided to keep sending SW for me.
Lesson to learn .... There is still a person with honor in this world. He didn't change his decision just because another person try to intervene.
So...now I got the SW as he promised. He is a good man!
Cheers,
