Is this a case of someone using screenshots from a DVD to showcase the film, or did Blackhawk actually release this short with these titles? I've never seen one with those original titles (from Blackhawk), on it.

They're not stills from a super 8 print, of that I'm certain. On another note, I'd buy up those Blackhawk prints at that price if it wasnt for the fact the postage to UK is more than the cost of the print!

Might be worth a go on the silver box ones Stuart.

Best Mark.

I agree with Stuart,when the postage is too much for overseas people to pay I wonder why some of the sellers insist on the high P&P prices instead of offering a few cheaper options?

As discussed in another thread, it makes me sick to my stomach to see such low prices for L&H considering how much I paid.

If you look closely at the pictures the top picture shows a super 8 box label the bottom box looks like an 8mm label with the green label.

Just another example of a misleading ebay listing.

The bottom box picture is a Standard 8 Blackhawk box of "Helpmates". The seller might have got confused with his or her pictures when they made the listing and at that price it's well worth a bid.
