I am looking for the following:
Titanic (Barbara Stanwyck), 400' sound
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, 400' color sound
White Line Fever, 400' color sound
North by Northwest, 400' color sound

Was that Disney Astragard or something only a 200' or was it also on 400'? If 400' was available, that's what I am looking for, if not, I'd love to at least have the 200'

Oh, if only I had known that Vidar, about "Titanic". There was a very nice one on eBay not over 2 weeks ago that went for roughly U.S. $40. I've considered "Escape From Astragard" myself. There's 2 of them on eBay right now. One of them is from the U.K. and a little pricier but it is still sealed. The other one is from the U.S. Intead of buying that one I bought a 200' reel (from the same seller) from "Herbie Rides Again". My guess would be that "Escape From Astragard" was only available as a 200' reel.

UPDATE: I checked eBay and didn't see anything in a 400' reel but it would probably be under the title "Island at the Top of the World" if it was ever released in a longer version (again, only guessing though).

Vidar,

There are 2 extracts available from "Island at the top of the World", the common 'Escape from Astragard' and the rare 'Flight of the Hyperion', this is rare as it was one of the last ever 200' extracts put out by Disney themselves, and not too many prints were struck.

Thanks, that eBay seller has a lot of overpriced items, so I think I'll wait and see if anything else pops up. Should be 10 or less for a 200'er I think (of course depending upon rarity)

No one has any of these for sale?

I ordered Titanic from Perry's, but he sold it to someone else, sadly. Was devastated
