I usually take advantage of blu-ray.com tracking system, which is enough for me, but yes, it does seem to me their prices are higher overall than what they used to.
I mean, I've never seen Passport to Pimlico hit £17 for so long before (just one exemple, but there are others like this in my basket for a long time, which were much less expensive than this a few months ago).

But yeah, I'll just wait for these to be back at a more discounted price anyway.

I can't see any. Where is Nashville/ If...

Try clicking refresh, they should be right at the top and at good prices as well. If... shipping now and Nashville on June 16.

The Mizoguchi set has been hanging there ever since it sold out - if you add it to your cart you'll get a message saying it's not available "at this time".

At £9.99 each, I guess it's high time to pick up Van Gogh and Pont du Nord at last!

Has anyone had any luck finding an American retailer with a more or less complete, reasonably priced selection of MoC titles? I've managed to pick up a couple (Le Pont du Nord on blu and Les Maitres du Temp on DVD; amusingly enough, both #62 thanks to Eureka's decision to number DVD and blu-ray separately) but am driving myself nuts trying to find Gandahar. There's a single seller on Amazon Marketplace for $43.01 before shipping, and Eureka only redirect to Amazon UK, which refuses to ship Region 2 DVDs to American customers...

Since when?

I've gotten R2 DVDs from Amazon UK for many years (but not for the past 2 years).

They mean an Amazon Marketplace seller on Amazon UK. It's not currently for sale direct from Amazon.co.uk

merzbau · #1663 Post by **merzbau** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:49 pm

I was turned down with an error message letting me know that R2 DVDs can't be shipped to my address the last time I tried to purchase from Amazon UK (the director's cut of Wild Side and the Wong Kar-Wai Jet Tone box). I was surprised too.

Re: Gandahar, I haven't actually tried to buy it from Amazon UK after running into the region issue; I just meant that there doesn't seem to be a way to buy directly from Eureka, which redirects me to Amazon.

Unfortunately it looks like I might end up biting the bullet and paying a premium on Gandahar as it seems it's gone out of print

Sometimes Amazon fulfills third party discs and they can't be delivered even though they're via "sold by XXXXXX and fulfilled by Amazon". I have never in the eight or nine years I've been ordering from Amazon.co.uk ever heard of a direct from "sold by Amazon" title being unavailable for US ordering

If you can use Paypal you can buy it direct from them here with free worldwide shipping.

Individual Marketplace sellers have to have international shipping enabled for you to be able to order from them.

I see that this link no longer works. They should really update their page to reflect that they no longer have any stock.

merzbau · #1667 Post by **merzbau** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:59 pm

I'll give it another shot- I'm embarrassed to say that didn't occur to me. Honestly, I'm so used to being dicked over by laws passed by media companies in my own country I kind of defaulted to that assumption...

I did go ahead and order the $44 Gandahar from a US seller, since that sadly seems to be the best I'm likely to find.

merzbau · #1668 Post by **merzbau** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 6:01 pm

Thanks for the link to the exclusives page, though! I'll keep it bookmarked for future reference.

The free shipping works out really well in your favour. Generally if you order from them through the offers page they ship a good bit in advance of the release date too. Great service.

Whoa, thanks again! How did I miss that? I spent ages scouring the MoC and Eureka pages for a direct order link and never ran across this. Could've saved me $15 on Maitres du Temps, too, though I don't begrudge giving a local seller (Diabolik DVD) the business.

As an American who buys their DVDs/BDs, I always find it best to just order from them directly. Always. The free shipping is wonderful.

Further to this, you might find that an item you want is sold by both Amazon and a third party seller, but for some reason the third party seller item has hogged the main listing and you'll need to explore the 'other sellers' to find the genuine Amazon listing. Always double check this before you place an order, as I've often found that an item that I'd put into my basket is from a third party seller (who will charge more for shipping, or won't ship to my country at all) and the amazon equivalent is readily available but might be 1p more expensive. As domino says, any media item I've ordered direct from amazon (any branch) is available to be shipped internationally. And I've ordered a lot of shit from amazon (though probably not as much as domino!)

How long is this on for? I can't see any mention of it on the store itself - does this automatically get added to the order after completion?

It lasts until Friday. It's usually an automatic thing.
