There is a full set available in the Spanish Forum but I guess that the price is not what you expected...
no comment.

There're plenty of those things on ebay (Italian seller) but as mentioned by PAC, the prices are exorbitant!
Count at least EUR 900,- for a new/mint one without laserdisc.
One was on ebay.co.uk for only 35 pounds and 35 pounds to ship the seller told me. Too bad I forgot to bid in time (busy with other deals). Now one is availlable for 75 gbp. Only the msx, but the pioneer laservideo player is availlable as independant unit.
One day I will own one although I am thinking about how to connect a nms 8280 to a laservideoplayer through rs232 which should be possible to play laservideo games.
Watch out, I think the European Palcom is not compatible with laserdisc. Maybe the software have incompatibilities.
Mine is the Japanese model, so I can't sure about the European model. Better is to ask someone who have one European, before you buy one.
PAC: what is The price For The complete system and Games?
European is not good ... Laser Disc are All in ntsc format
Any other trips? In your opinion 2500 euro is The right price For complete system? But include All The Games? I don't see Esh in list ...

The eternal discussion... I'm not an specialist trading and collecting so I'm not the best person to judge if it's a fair price. What are you looking for? Are you just a computer collector (any platform) or want an MSX to enjoy? Are you willing to pay 2500eur? It is up to you and what you want. For sure I wouldn't pay such amount of money even for a rare-special MSX like this.
If money were not a problem for me, clearly I would buy the most powerful MSX (a turbo R GT) full equip (SD interface, Moonsound, Music Module, etc) with a lot of original games too and still had a lot of money left in my pockets, but that's my opinion...
The European model (these were sold in UK, and that's why they pop-up into ebay once in a while) is cheap, but incompatible with the LD games. It's not software issue, software works just well, but the NTSC / PAL encoding system gives headache.
It's recommended to get a real NTSC (Japanese) computer, if you want to play with these... Also LD-player must be either Japanese or US model.
AND one other recommendation: fit a extra fan (for example 120x120mm, it does not need to be bolted on) on top of your Pioneer MSX. That thing tends to get hot, and I really mean HOT. A warm summer day and you can get the computer heated so far that the computer halts just by running the game. With fan the computer runs a lot cooler (and life of IC's will be increased too).
One day I will own one although I am thinking about how to connect a nms 8280 to a laservideoplayer through rs232 which should be possible to play laservideo games.
That's not impossible. Another thing which could do this is Sony HB-G900(A)P.
BUT, issue is that the games were programmed for Pioneer LD-Basic -extension. This is incompatible with the one used in Philips or Sony (I'm not sure if even they are compatible on each other). So, the game code would need to be re-coded...
And another thing to work out... a very good NTSC -> PAL encoding that you can run the NTSC LD-output to PAL computer.
My MSX 2's can do pal and ntsc, I'm not worried about that.
