Richard Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Daiei MD | "Savings" range 10 Pack Slim Case This was another set for Japanese supermarket chain Daiei, from their "Savings" range of products. Made in Korea (presumably by Saehan), they came in 10 packs only, in these "Slim Case" flip top boxes with just the discs and no individual cases. The disc colours are the same in each set (Green. Blue, Clear, Purple and Pink). The 74 minute variant had a green wrapper and the 80 minute set an orange wrapper as seen here. Again, date unknown, but presumed to be early 2000's. Product Code: 10MD-80SV / 10MD-74SV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 Packaging looks sort of "retro", which I am not sure was so much of a thing back in the heyday of MiniDisc. Were these quite rare @Richard? Googling them is bringing back nothing (except your post). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors are a bit 1970's 😅 It was another bargain range of products to be sold in supermarkets, but being made by Saehan the discs are good quality and quite similar to their Natural Wave range. They do seem to be quite rare, they don't come up for sale very often - it took me about 4 years between finding the 80 minute discs and picking up the 74s recently. Even opened packs don't appear very often from what I can tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was Googling for: to see what the discs themselves looked like. Do you have any pictures of opened ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Thanks @Richard 🙂 They're nice enough looking discs but was just wondering if the styling would be along the same lines as the packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly minimal overall, but the font on the disc and the logo with the removed corner echoes that on the packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Well spotted! Was kind of hoping they'd be made out of formica or something 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
