Sellers are catching on to how hard these disc are to find. Found a Sheena on ebay with 49.99 minimum bid.

By the way, for those who care, THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD has been similarly revised, but in this one rare case, it's actually for the better; the full screen side has been dropped instead of the widescreen one (though the copy I bought actually still included the original double-sided disc with both formats) and the cover art has been redone in a much classier, more detailed and sophisticated manner.

I thought i had gotten lucky but i got ripped off instead.

I went to Duluth for a 2 day camping/junkyarding excursion and actually came across not one, but TWO FS/WS "Last Action Hero" discs at Pawn America and The Elctric Fetus respectively. Amazon merchants are asking $50+ which is silly, and eBay, obviously nobody knows the difference or status.

Well, I gave up searching for the WS Hideaway on Half/Ebay/Amazon Auctions. By chance it seems that the Canadian versions all list widescreen still, so I will risk my $10 and order from up there. If it's still fullscreen only, I'll give it away and stick with my laserdisc

matome,
Do you have any f.y.e. stores in your area? If you do, you might want to check to see if you can find a used copy (I think it's going to be hard to find a new copy) of the WS version of Hideaway. A f.y.e. superstore recently opened in my area and they have a huge selection of used DVD's in very good conditon (and 100% gauranteed). The had 3 of this title of which 2 were Full Screen only but one was the version with both Widescreen and Fullscreen. It was $5.99 with an additional 20% off on all used DVD's.
