Wing Chun HKL is £7.49, it's normally over a tenner.
Why they normally charge so much for this title is beyond me.
I'm not interested in buying to many DVDs right now (my DVD cupboard is stuffed to the brim for one) but I just know it will go back to £10-12 very soon.
p.s - Other HKL 'possible' bargains here:

Tru Calling Seasons 1 and 2 (8 disc set) was £29.99 in Woolies today. It includes "6 never before seen episodes" (that werent shown on Sky I imagine).
Don't know if I'd buy this but had seen a couple of episodes and quite liked it
Also "24" (Season 1-4 set) is £75 at Play.
Tempted by this, especially since I never got round to seeing the end of S3 or 4, but £75 is still a hell of a lot to spend in one go!

Brad - most of the seasons 1 and 2 that sell for £15 on ebay are the Asian import versions.
I got my season 1 - 4 boxset for £70 from bensonsworld. Already had seasons 1 & 3. Sold season 1 for £20 and expect to get the same for season 3 when I'm done with it.
That's £40 back, so I'm getting seasons 2 & 4 for equivalanet of £30 = £15 each. Season 4 when it is released will be about £30 on its own, so I think it is well worth buying the big box set.

Have a look. It changes every few minutes.grim_tales wrote:How much are seasons 3/4 I still think it will work out cheaper to buy the big box.
About half are. You're right it's obvious which are fakes and which aren't.degeneration wrote:Brad - most of the seasons 1 and 2 that sell for £15 on ebay are the Asian import versions.
The ones which aren't fakes are half the price as regular e-tailors.
Personally spending £70 in one go is far to much for me. Especially when you can get Series 1-2 for £15-6 each. I'm sure the others will follow.

House Of Flying Daggers 2 Disc UK R2 for £5.99 -
http://www.blahdvd.com/blah/Default.asp ... P916301001
Yes Grim this is cut by 18 seconds before you ask but it's also stacked with extras for those who don't mind double dipping and like their extras.
I've ordered it as the commentary looks like it's worth checking out at least. I'll compare it to my HK R3 SE and see if I can notice the cuts. If they don't bother me I'll trade my HK R3 SE.
With thanks to Willard at AV Forums (top site btw):

Sammo Boxset up at DDDHouse. Anyone know whether this is any good ? At this price, should come under the customs limit, no ?

If it's £18 or under before postage sold outside of the EU then Yes (inside the EU the customs limit doesn't apply).
It should be very good but bare in mnd all 3 are already out on R1 from Fox (whose MA DVDs are usually sub £5) so the AV won't be any different BAR subs and 5.1 vs. Mono of course. HOWEVER the PR for this doesn't mention the original audio like it usually does so it may just come down to subs vs. dub.
p.s - Check out DVD Times for more info.

Brad, Play have another sale on (3 for £20) in addition to their summer sale. I'd definitely get TGTBATU SE for 7 quid. Also have you seen:
Not One Less
The Emperor And The Assassin
I've seen TEATA some time ago (not on a very good DVD though), I found it a bit slow I think (very well made though).
Not One Less looks interesting.

I'll be interested to see screenshot comparisons betwenn the HKLs, these and the R1s to see whether it's worth purchasing this.

The R1 Buffy the Vampire Slayer complete series LE 40-disc boxset is up for pre-order on Amazon for the utter bargain price of $139.99USD.
I already have it on pre-order, been waiting for a good priced complete series set of Buffy. I've only seen Season 6&7, I loved 'em.

You only seen 6 and 7!!!!!!!! Thats criminal.
You cannot watch a TV show and miss everything that came before, surley nothing at all made any sense in any way?, as the provious 5 seasons told a massive story, and you just caught the end I just wont even bother with a TV show if I dont start from episode 1 that why I only buy them now so I can watch them when I want and never miss an episode, its the only way.
Buy Angel as well, as I would say thats better than Buffy as they do it all a bit harder and nastier also both shows have cross over episodes and stories and cast.
but as you started Buffy late you probibly wont know who anyone is :mrgreen: Buffy and Angel rely on knowlege of previous seasons to get most the jokes, stories, charecters etc.. so you missed a lot, so getting the full set with recify that Big Time.
Hope you love it as much as me.

Some DVD Pacific bargains can be found here: www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=257
With DVD Soon now unreliable I've decided to lock DVD Soon/Pacific thread. DVD Pacific bargains can be posted here.
If members want to discuss DVD Soon, DVD Pacific, CD WOW etc . . . then they can do so here:
www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=822
Or if it doesn't go to off topic use either the CD WOW or General threads. These two are really for actual bargains though.
There are some cracking titles in there. Super Size Me for £5.99! OMG 'Japanese Story' also for £5.99. That is a huge bargain the film is outstanding!
I bougt it for £9.99 week of release.

If they were cut before I suspect they're still cut now. I can't see them being resubmitted.grim_tales wrote:Are The Mummy/Mummy Returns the uncut versions?
