£11.20 for Rambo 4, holy shit! Nice one thanks dude. Cheers for the heads up on their prices. I was going to wait for a few days until I get paid but won't.

Cheers Salty. It was £10.99 ($21.85) and is now £11.50 ($22.85).

Yesterday was hectic at work. I was in Oxford all day and then had to rush back to get to the Theatre. For the first time in weeks I didn't get a chance to use Bullets :D.

Dude, you cannot compare HD-DVD with BD directly. They're different formats, not everyone is Dual Format. The question is, is this a BD bargain? ;).

p.s - Where was it £3.60 anyway? I'd be interested for that price.

£3.99 at HMV + 10% Quidco, or Play with 4% Quidco :D but your stuffed now as they sold out instantly, even I was considering it and I am no fan of the film, but its one of them titles that everyone jumps on, so you have to be quick :D Between HMV and Play nearly all have droopped to around £4 (some wont budge mind you).


Fifth Elemnt went up $1 today :D

Doh! You're right :(.

It's an amazing film. It's on my BD list but for that price I'd have picked up the HD-DVD.

i received an order from these the other day,they seem to reship from the uk and the packaging had no value on whatsoever.so i don't know if this means they are customs safe or not.

Oh yeah, my Rambo cardboard box is the same. Surely it must mean they're customs safe?

Are there any Tower Records stores in The UK?

Ah, that would make sense then. Caiman have an Amazon.co.uk listing under the username Caiman_UK.

They definitely ship from within The UK. I think we can say with 99% assurance Tower.com are Customs safe :D.

for info i ordered witchblade the complete series for my brother last week,around £23 & shipping,way cheaper than anywhere else.it arrived yesterday with no value on the package so no customs :) they obviously like MT reship within the uk.btw the $4.99 shipping is per item not per disc unlike axel or pacific,so a big box set costs the same as a single disc.

Fantastic, thanks Salty.

Any ideas on this one? -
Do Deep Discount mark the full value of both items on the parcel (like Amazon) or just the one you paid for?

Nice one. I'll probably get that when the UK BD is "cheap", oddly the BD is getting the extras but not the UK DVD.

During e-mail conversation, I asked and this was their response:

"Caiman is our parent company, but we are a separate business entity."
