As the title says, this price is before discount:

It must be a mistake. For that price I'm happy to own it again. I can then sell/trade my current/this copy.

I saw it when it was 1st put on the site

it popped up and I crapped myself, shame I own it

But hey Shrek and Shrek 1 and 2 set and Colllateral are also stunning prices!

Collateral isn't that good it's only £3 more for the R1 DTS version. I've gone for the R1. I'm about to order Shrek. I'd like the extra extras but for that price I can live without them.

I'm surprised you've not gone for it to eBay boot loads of them???

I would buy they dont sell for much even on ebay, I was tempted but hey they are probibly the Russian versions anyway (they never say they are, but nearly all the R2 ones I get latley are not UK, but Region 2/5 )

Return of the King is the very nice R3 edition which I own in my Wooden Box Set, its basically the R1 set same packaging and all that hard back cover etc.. georgous thing too for this price! Player Genarated subs and no subs on the commentary mind you

where it tells you who speaks!

I only bought Shrek 2 a week ago

for 9 quid for the sound chip version which talks.

Regarding Shrek:

I've just seen the back of box set and the extras listed at CD WOW are correct. That's all it has.

That's a pity. I was hoping it was the two single disc versions bundled together but it's not. For the price I'll still keep it.

How much do they sell for on ebay?

Can I have some examples please? Are they any good?

I don't care where they came from as long as they're good quality. To be fair they don't say they aren't either. They say:

* R2 Europe
* Russian DD5.1
* East European subs

That's a give away to me. The Shrek Collection has the U certificate and only mentions English subs.

It's wooden??? I thought it was just a hard cardboard.

I would get it but I don't need it, have but more than enough DVDs over the last few days, it sounds like it would be hard to sell and my other LOTRs DVDs are the UK ones so I wouldn't want it to be out of place.

Last few Russian dvds I got were
I got Troy it was perfect identical to the UK

also got Taking Lives (the Angilina Jolie film) and it was again identical, but it did Freeze a few times as they encoded it wrong I guess

I will bet Shrek is the Uk dvds

and My Wooden Box for LOTR isnt what anyone else will get its the Taiwan Limited Edition box I have, but the dvds inside are the standard R3 dvds

This one

Where did you find that? How do you do those cool picture links?

Was the Troy cover art in English? How do you know it's the Russian DVD?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 May 2005, 08:41

Brad, I may order LOTR I'm not sure.

My other EE's are the R1's so like you I wouldnt want it to be different next to the other ones

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 May 2005, 13:02

For £3.99 I could live with the different packaging BUT I already own the R2's so it's a mute point for me. I'd be quick if it is a mistake CD WOW are going to notice.

Romero how much did you pay for ROTK? The packaging looks nicer than my R2 (forgetting the wooden box of course).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 May 2005, 13:08

Interesting point about Russian DVDs.. I noticed that one of the DVDs in the Spiderman 2 set I have for example, is actually dual encoded (Region 2/5). Its the Danish disc.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 May 2005, 13:11

It will be for the Russian market also then. I believe R5 is Russia only.

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 04 May 2005, 14:27

Can you still get £2 off at cdwow? If so, how? None of the links seemed to work for me last time I tried... just the voucher code one that is emailed to you. So I could only get £1 off...

Shrek 1 & 2 for £4.99, can't really complain...

But if I could get this ROTK:EE for £3.99, that would be tops!!!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 04 May 2005, 15:45

Hey russian dvds are identical to the UK dvds, cover and contect, just one slight difference is no UK BBFC rating on the box

and sometimes says R2/5

apart from that they are identical.

and The Lord of The Rings DVD set in the Wooden box was no cheap, for all 3 films in the Limited Taiwan box with some nice playing cards in a cloth bag too, it was I think 70 quid, then customs got me for another 30 quid

so it cost a lot, more than any other I own.
Hey its georgous and a quality set mind you and they were going for 380 quid on Ebay!!! so if I ever need cash I can always sell it, but I dont expect to sell it, the films are all 5 stars and they deserve a set like the Taiwan Wooden Box as not many films are worth spending that much on ever!

and linking pics like that is easier than you think

Have you tried all the £1 links? There are 3 in the e-tailors thread. I've just tested each of them and they all work.

You've also tried closing ALL browser windows down and trying again?

I order some DVDs last night and got £2 off each. Remember it's £3 for Games!

What certificate do they show? I'm interested.

Cool.

p.s - So you now own TFOTR and TTT twice?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 04 May 2005, 18:38

I own R2 4 dvd extended version as well for now (selling 1 and 2 at mo on ebay, sold part 3 while back) I also owned all the 2 dvd versions too and sold them on ebay as well (for more than I paid).

So in the end I will only own the Taiwan Woode set

and them Russian dvds have no ratings anywhere on the dvd or box at all.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 May 2005, 19:35

Maybe Russia doesnt have a ratings board

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 May 2005, 22:33

Maybe not but I'd think it does knowing it's strict history, putting it lightly.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2005, 13:22

This is no longer on the site period. Did you buy it Grim? If not you're a dumbass

I'll lock it therefore later on.

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 05 May 2005, 14:09

Brad- you're right!! Thank god I ordered mine last night!!!

Now I got the UK R2 and this one... One of them is going on ebay and it should definitely go for more than £4!!!

Need to keep an eye out for more cheap-ass titles like this one!!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2005, 18:00

There's the Shrek box set if you don't mind losing almost all the extras! It's only £3.99 so I don't care.

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 06 May 2005, 08:31

Extras, smextras... don't care about them as I pretty much never watch extras anyway. And I've already ordered it for £3.99!!!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 May 2005, 12:32

If it's a film I love then I'd want extras more but the days have gone where I watch most of them. I used to spend time after the film watching them I rarely bother now.

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 06 May 2005, 13:36

Yeah, I got too many other films to watch and other things to do! The Shrek box-set is gone now as well it seems!!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 May 2005, 17:40

Oh yeah I was going to lock this. Grim's absence speaks volumes
