Question:
Stumbled upon this box set on eBay searching for some ABT stuff. Have not seen it on any sites before the cover art looks quite cool. Any of you guys seen this boxset?

Just read the item description. It says its german and has no english subs:( Had some intresting extras listed though which are not on the Anchor Bay barebones releases of ABT & ABT 2.
Without having watched it, Laser Paradise (the label) is not known for it's perfect image/sound quality. Apart from that. The box (new!) goes for around 30 EUR (20 GBP) so the bid on ebay is already outrageous...

Ive got the two Anchor Bay releases anyway. I just wanted some info about it. Thanks for the info.:)
These are the German releases of all three ABT movies. They are said to be quite good in terms of picture and sound quality, actually the best Laser Paradise releases. But Laser Paradise wouldn't be Laser Paradise if they got it all right - the blokes there put German and Chinese soundtracks on the discs but forgot to include any subtitles for the Chinese dialogue....which renders these discs useless even to German-speaking Woo fans!
As for other Laser Paradise releases: keep your hands off them! Except for Dellamorte Dellamore (which of course is not as good as the superb Italian disc) they range from completely unwatchable to sub-VHS quality.
Recently they released a 3-disc box set of David Lynch's DUNE. Not only is the picture quality below average (despite them stating that it has been anamorphically remastered), they also used a censored version!!!!
