    I’ll have to look at that. What makes the Pepsi promo worth that? Rarity? How can you tell if its that one? I just collect the tapes and watch them I don’t do much research.

      Honestly I just searched “top gun vhs tape worth”. I know absolutely nothing about vhs collecting.

      Looks like the Pepsi promo one will be obvious. It’ll have a promo cover. I doubt you have it (sorry).

          There’s just less of them, and it’s technically a piece of movie history, even if it’s a really shitty bit of history.

          Not saying it isn’t, but it was a home video release of a huge hit movie well into the adoption of VHS (some folks might have been still clinging to Beta players in 1986) that was made quite inexpensive by the addition of a diet pepsi ad. It should have sold like hotcakes. I’ve got a copy with the ad on it.
