the malaysia custom rule is "postage below RM500" no tax, so always keep your $/shipment (included freight) under RM500

also if u want to reduce the chances of the custom official to open ur parcel .. u may want to pay extra as "send as gift" ..

my understanding the custom will random open the parcel and check even ur total package is under RM500 ...

Bro,

They have the right of law to open n check for contraband, anytin that cums thru de mail.. irrespective of cost of item..
They only do it at random is becos of lack of manpower..

Technically they shld scan/check all pckgs..

Sometimes it does, i've encountered the same s**t, probably restricted item to be delivered? Nothing to restrict on Blu-ray.

Because the item is not direct sell by Amazon, it is just under Fulfilled by Amazon.

Check example screenshot below for more details, the yellow highlight part tell the reason:

As you seen, the item was Sold by mrtopseller and Fulfilled by Amazon.

You will facing the item can't ship to here/any others country if this seller "mrtopseller" only choose ship to local.

** Not all seller that fulfilled by Amazon ship item to oversea.

Nice try, there was sometime ago , items sold by Amazon , not "fulfilled" got rejected..i guess it was pre-order.
Probably they only allow limited quantity..while pre-ordering?

Its your personal preferences i would say. And i believe Amazon UK delivery is lot quicker than US (depending on shipping factors)
Looking at the price tags, UK titles are far reasonable compared to US ; again it depends on the titles you would like to purchase though..

amazon.uk is always my main choice to buy CDs beside BDs

not cheap in seoul. amazon cheaper for western titles. local releases of western titles have korean text.

blu-ray takeup in S.Korea hasn't really gone mainstream yet. probably due to their "download" culture (fast internet speeds and local seeds). also, HD is nothing new to them (they've had HD channels for years). 

for tourist friendly place, you can try COEX Mall. If you want to be more adventurous, try Yongsan electronics market. but may not be worth your while, depending on what you're looking for. my 2 cents.

Thx for the tip bro

Saw a music shop selling BDs (like rock records in msia)

BD Review: The Incredibles

Movie:
One of my Pixar favourites, so nothing much to say. Great simple storyline by Brad Bird, great execution. My kids have watched the DVD countless times, as the mkv 1080p broadcast transfer that I had "obtained". Still they sat through the whole movie (for the 100th time I think!), so that shd say enuf. Both the 5yr old and the 8yr old were thoroughly entertained as was I. I would easily rate it 5/5 as it will please both kids and adults with its storyline.

PQ:
If this is not 5/5 in someones book, not sure what is. I tried to detect banding and any artefacts but could not (or maybe it was there but not obvious). Fantastically detailed transfer and as usual the transfer is impeccable.

AQ:
Also a 5/5 in my books. Great surrounds, LFE potent and all round well balanced. Its a DTS HD MA (ES) so all 7 channels are used. Pans are great, sound staging is wide, and the audio mix is not too heavy. Nothing to moan about, LFE is both loud when necessary and low if called for.

Great movie, good entertainment value and replay value in my household at least. And to top it off, a fantastic transfer.
