I found the banned version of The Little Mermaid at a yard sale yesterday.

[BackLogJoe]

The person has a huge bookshelf full of Disney VHS tapes. I thought to myself, well, I'll look but there's no way that TLM penis cover is here.


And then I found it.

So i casually look at the lady and asked how much for this. She said a dollar. I gave her a dollar and walked away.

Anyone ever find anything super rare at a yard sale?

 

[Dice]

Speaking of...

Like COME ON Man of Steel. Those are definitely dicks.

 

[MBeanie]

Whats a "TLM penis cover"?

 

[Particle Physicist]

Why is it banned? My parents have this tape lying around at home.

Edit:

Just looked it up. Huh. I'm curious if my parents version has it now.

 

[Orb]

still can't believe people got up in arms about that shit

 

[Canklestank]

Is this worth a lot or something?

 

[Duane]

I found a sealed copy of Pokemon Yellow at a consignment sale a couple years ago.

 

[Smurf]

where is the penis?

The golden castle behind Ariel and Eric has a couple gilded dicks in it, one in particular is very obvious. Can you spot it?

One of the towers in the golden castle kinda looks like a dick and the art was revised later.

 

[Evil Calvin]

I think the golden spires of the castle are penises

 

[LinkStrikesBack]

To save people googling it.

 

[NealMcCauley]

About the cover.

One of the castle spires is more phallic than the others.

 

[Sacul64]

Its supposed to be one of the towers I think but I'm not seeing it.

Looking at the picture in the OP, it appears everyone is fixated on the guy's penis.

No. People pretending they are is a plague on facebook nostalgia/toy groups. They aren't worth anything, nor are they especially rare. Just an urban legend.

 

[Strangelove_77]

I see maybe one penis there, but thats about it.
Why do people see dicks everywhere? It seems that people will always find dicks in everything.

Maybe between $100-200, going by eBay results (keep in mind the dates shown here... only three or four sold this year.)

EDIT: Actually scrolling back further it looks like it's not rare at all and goes for $20-$30. The two recent $150 and $200 sales are likely some hijinks intended to make it look like they go for more.

[Bitanator]

what would be rare is if you open that case and have that little nub on the inside not have chew marks on it

 

[Landy828]

Congrats?

I think I have 2 copies of this, lol.

[pewpewtora]

I used to have a copy of this version when I was a little kid. I didn't even notice the dick until I was a teenager

 

[LiK]

I have it in a closet somewhere.

 

[Fliesen]

It's not particularly rare, but the first german production run of Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones had like 2 typos. - one of them being the title on the spine.

Should be "ANGRIFF DER KLONKRIEGER" (attack of the clone warriors) but it's spelled "ANGRIEF" - which isn't a word.
Also, they misspell Yoda as "Joda" in the plot synopsis.

Looking at the same results but going up from "lowest first" some sold as low as $4.

Why would Disney put a penis on the cover in the first place?

Call the police on them.

Yeah, edited my post just now... the two recent ones for $150 and $200 are clearly fuckery, lol.


Sorry OP. But hey, throw it on there for $80 Buy It Now and let it sit there for years, you never know! And in the meantime, you have a nice conversation piece on your shelf.

The expensive prices are just listing prices

If you filter it to 'sold items' they are only selling for $1-9

I don't know how they do it, being a seller on ebay, how some of these listings go for $100s over what they should, I wish I had that kind of luck. But like you said, it might be some kind of fuckery.
