I just received another email from Amazon.  Their tell me my parcel may be delayed for 1 - 2 days. Last email said only 1 day.  wink.gif  Really bad luck using UPS.

Just write to Amazon request them, in future, to use DHL for my parcels deliver using Priority International Courier.  I guess, 99.999999% their will apology first and said no indirectly to my request.  whistling.gif

If late than estimate, probably can request for shipment cost refund.

Just preview The Lion King Trilogy yesterday, and yes I agree to blu-ray.com review as well.

The Lion King PQ: 5 Star | Movie: 5 Star
The Lion King 1/2: 5 Star | Movie: 2.5 Star
The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is 4.5 Star (it still great but not as great as first 2). | Movie: 3.5 Star

** Movie review base on what I remembered previously.

As for the packaging, I know it less amaray case and the disc holder not great, but the outer packaging is wow! Extremely gorgeous with stunning embossing - it look as nice as it can!

Packaging: 4.5 Star


Added on October 7, 2011, 9:37 amAnother preview of Ben-Hur

PQ: 5 Star! - nothing much to complain here, it look extremely gorgeous! with natural color. The aspect ratio a bit too wide, 2.75:1 is just too wide for us, I know it look gorgeous on such aspect ratio especially on scenery shot, but it became so tiny, like old time watching widescreen movie in conventional CRT TV. Haha!

Packaging: 5 Star - Gorgeous! The best I feel from all UCE I own. Everything look high quality.


Added on October 7, 2011, 9:45 amPreview on African Cats

The most stunning PQ among all Disneynature ever release documentaries in BD. and yes! another new documentaries is coming soon from Disneynature, as it soon air in USA theather, which means may coming soon next year. The coming soon Disneynature documentaries call "Chimpanzee" http://disney.go.com/disneynature/chimpanzee/

PQ: 5 Star
Slipcover: 5 Star, just love it, it blend nicely the leopard fur (border).


Added on October 7, 2011, 9:50 amLast preview yesterday on Dumbo

Finally Disney is back to it quality, Dumbo is as nice as others Disney Classic Animation. (Except The Fox and the Hound I)

PQ: 5 Star

I do hope no any issue occur, if Amazon gone, it really bad news to us.

But from what I read from foreign forum, sometimes I feel foreign user much more particular, they can even slightly (I mean slightly) dent of slipcover also request money refund (but since at US, need return the item la). Not happy with the product, either packaging not meet the expectation, request refund as well. I even read some forumer mention not happy with product from Amazon, but due to laziness return or not success refund, they bring the BD to others local shop and ask for refund or exchange by mentioning only I lost the receipt! rclxub.gif

Maybe some issue on UK, I dunno, as my Thor from HMV ship since 27/Sept/2011 also not yet receive, some how my BDs from eBay ship from US on same day already arrived two days ago.

1st time I face shipment from UK is far slower than US.

Hmmm..talk about BF that we all love to hate, or hate to love, it is coming soon. ready to do BD e-shopping spree??

Not sure what will available for coming BF, I hope a lot bigger box set in promotion.

Must keep pressing Amazon to change the shipping partner?

If they listen, they already withdraw i-parcel long long time ago. Everywhere is complaining i-parcel services, simply google can get a lot of result on how bad i-parcel services are.


QUOTE(low98944 @ Oct 8 2011, 06:45 PM)
Some how, during BF in last 2 years, I only brought very few BDs.  sad.gif
Their got 5 partners for Standard and Expedite shipping.  blush.gif  Theoretically, there is 20% chance, their will choose I-Parcel.

I try my best using priority courier as possible, I hate to wait for that long, beside this priority courier must care on the set, it normally arrived in safe & great condition. I also notice it seems more love on given i-parcel for bigger set.

I had a feeling number means nothing, I got my The Ten Commandments set and it was 4,444 out of 100,000 but it so fast no longer selling by Amazon itself anymore until now. It seems it only last longer at Amazon few weeks, or maybe just only a month.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Blu-ray collection by NoblePink, on Flickr

Finally collect all 6 volumes for the series. The price is getting higher and higher no thanks to the rising yen. rclxub.gif

Story wise this is not your typical magical girl anime, it's more to a horror/ betrayal kind of plot. Its animation studio is notoriously known for changing/ fixing scenes/ animations in their disc releases so you can see lots of changes compared to the TV version. The BD releases include 3 OST CDs composed by Kajiura Yuki as well as 3 drama CDs.

Really love the outer cover designs for the discs. wub.gif

Around RM230 ish when I bought the first volume, but got more and more expensive as Yen rises against the Ringgit. The final volume cost me almost RM260.

So I guess almost 1.5k?

As usual Japan BD price, quite expensive.
