145 for U$ or RM?

if it is selling at U$145, don't go for it. the packing is soso only & not much added side feature. The GOLDEN ARMY ACTION FIGURE is in small size, doesn't justify the high $ value. the outer box of my copy also in nearly damage/dented condition. this set has been released long long time ago.

go to ONE STOP 4TH FLOOR, buy the HELLBOY ACTION FIGURE at RM70, very nice feature work, display it next to your BD & it will definitely look cooler than this set.

will photo shoot some pic for you tonight, if i got time.

with U$145, i encourage u to buy other cooler set.

I just contacted with AMZ UK on my dented PAUL STEELBOOK.

I requested AMZ UK to replace me my steelbook cover only as my disc works well, and their initial response to me was to refund me a discount 15%, that is RM10.

I was very let down. I bought over 200 discs from AMZ UK & never complained before, seems like they never appreciated the past record. Actually PAUL is my 3rd dented steelbook from AMZ UK, my previous 2 steelbook - GREEN ZONE & WOLFMAN both dented, WOLFMAN steelbook even cannot be closed.

I am interested in 4 more steelbook from AMZ UK, - AKIRA, HANNA, FAST 5 & SCAREFACE, so i send an email to highlight thir weekness & i got nil response from them.

Next time, just inform them item damaged and not need to describe too much.  tongue.gif  Then their will refund all.  In fact, since PAUL already out of stock, it is pratically impossible to ask them to replace the case only.

Furthermore, Customer Service officers not necessary know or appreciate the customers since if not mistaken, Amazon actually ask some Indian company, or somewhere around there to handle their Customer Service.  At least, during after office hour in US or UK.  hmm.gif

thanks bro, just got full refund notification after my 2nd complaint. biggrin.gif

placed 3 more order with AMZ UK on their steelbook, finger cross this time.

Check the info first before you place order is still the best step before you place your order.  Of course, unless you got region free player or media player+rip program that can remove region lock, then you need not to worry the region thing.

if really no choice, just do what ANDREW suggest - sell it or keep it for future when MULTI-ZONE player available here.

AMZ US just shipped out my 13 ASSASSINS, read really bloody violence, can't wait.

UNIVERSAL always slash $, just look at BORNE TRILOGY & BACK TO THE FUTURE.

i think AMZ UK JURASSIC PARK can go down as low as GBP18 by end of the year. will save my $ for this.

Just done simple preview (still lazy to watch yet) for Akira.  For PQ, I give 4.3 out of 5.  Considered quite good already since this is 1988 animation.

Got 2 languages, English and Japanese (both offer TrueHD 5.1) and English is default language.  English audio is sharper and Japanese audio is soft compared to English.  Runtime is 119 mins.  Disc size is 41,318,612,992 bytes.

That's all.  Cabut...  tongue.gif  oops.gif

Same as usual (just like Paul).  This time, condition of steelbook is very good.  Only a very little dented (need to look carefully, otherwise will miss it). tongue.gif

Some more some title at UK had been censored without notice, as it use repeating image, slow motion or even zoom the image,  so by checking the running time you won't know.

UK release also usually normal packaging than US, UK not so fancy on packaging.

So in general,  by getting the UK release you need to do more homework and consideration :

  • Region Code
  • Censored issue
  • Packaging

just recived few disc from AMZ US,

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is with very nice slipcover (the best slipcover i have)

13 ASSASSINS also came with a nice slip cover, i watched it last night & love it, the final battle last nearly 40 minutes, lots of swordfighting scene. i believe if it could be longer & have more character developments, it would be a masterpiece.

AVATER - EXTENDED 3 DISC - nice packing, good pic & sound quality.

LEGEND- looks fabulous for a 1980s movie, RIDLEY SCOTT movie always look gorgeous.

My complete review of The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Edition Blu-ray

In overall, highly recommended if you love LOTR EE, the splitting to two disc for every episode is the right choice to maintain such high in  PQ & AQ. The only drawback is, it could be better if the Extra had been remastered to HD quality and loading in Blu-ray instead of the same source from the previous release DVD edition.

Overall Rating:
The Film: 5.0 Star
PQ: 4.5 Star
AQ: 5.0 Star
Extra: 4.0 Star
