It's as if divine intervention is preventing you from owning this title.

I used the Amazon Global programme, does that mean if I dont get a note from customs I get some money back? It sounded like you pay customs up front. May change to "Ship items as theyre available" though.

Yeah. I tried it recently and my package arrived unscathed so will be receiving some money back in the next couple of months.

[grim_tales]

Actually just changed the order (cancelled TMNT from there and changed the shipping speed) otherwise I'd have to wait til March for both BDs.
Because I did that, it brought the cost down to £14.76, so faster shipping (payment of customs) isnt needed and wouldnt be an issue Or maybe I could use it anyway.

I didn't like the artwork of the UK one so got the US one for a mere £3.20 on eBay . I was disappointed with the film due to the ending when I first saw it but fancy watching again so thought why not.

Let us know how they compare to the DD DVDs, as I'd only just seen them on DDD House too.

They'll be direct ports of the Taiwan releases which are pretty good from various reports.

[Markgway]

Reportedly the audio is six channel mono rather than a remix.
