Liquid and Andrew,

AFAIK, Amazon US dispatches through MSI and IParcel for Standard International Shipping.

MSI is a bit slower, around a month or so. Can be a little later as well so not to worry yet if it's just past your estimated delivery date. MSI does take a little longer though there may be some exceptions, especially when they sometimes provide a much earlier estimated delivery date. The tracking is not very reliable and not updated after a while. It's not the kind of tracking one expects when it's dispatched through courier.

IParcel used to be one month or so but lately they've been quick, around 2 weeks.

If it's shipped from US on 10th April, it's just 1 month. Mails to Malaysia can take up to 1½ months sometimes, so it's still OK. Let us know when you receive your anticipated parcel.

Good to note of this. Sometimes the mailing can take a little longer, even 2 months. But as I earlier posted, IParcel has been faster lately than MSI. 2 weeks compared to 1-1½ months.

Check back regularly, especially from Sunday November 23, 4 p.m. Malaysian Time for updates.

Additionally, in your Amazon account, save for later whatever you wish in your cart, and see the price change (if any, and there should be some with BF) each time you go to the Cart page. Or use the price tracker from Blu-ray.com

Happy shopping.

Update:

The Amazon.com Deals Calendar I posted last week (post #1657), is now in full swing. Times listed on Amazon.com this year is your local time.

Right.

Additionally, check at the Amazon Deals page. Amazon.com made it easier this year by listing times in the local time from where ever one logs in to the site. If in Malaysia, it is Malaysia Standard Time (MST).

Previous years Amazon.com listed deal times in Pacific Standard Time (16 hours behind MST) the time zone of Seattle Washington, its headquarters.

The ratings logos appearing on Region B packaging, aka nipples to some. At times, it does mar the appearance of the Blu-ray packaging. Depending on the artwork, it sometimes blends in, but at other times, it does not.

Here's a comparison of the US and UK version of Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Extended Edition Boxset and clearly you can appreciate some people's annoyance with the ratings logos.
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Extended Edition US vs UK

This is an issue for some, example, if intending to use a boxset as a decorative item I guess and constantly looking at it that way gives an uneasy feeling, but if it's just stored in a cupboard and/or not bothered about it, then the UK or European versions sometimes do offer quite a price bargain.

True, it's individual preference.

The UK casing is still the same and, in fact is preferred this way by some than the "thin and flimsy" (quoted from another forum) ones from the US.

There are some UK sets which do come as you suggested, i.e. the ratings logo is a sticker on the plastic wrap, which can be removed. But granted, it's difficult to find out which are the ones before purchase.

It is also the case however that UK boxsets are sometimes a very good deal compared to their US counterpart.

Nonetheless, evidently the ratings logo is a problem in the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy set highlighted previously, since it seems to be everywhere. The artwork for Rome: The Complete Series is also neater on the US packaging than the UK one. And I could go on.

I'm not sure if aesthetic is a factor in pricing of the Blu-ray disc as ranger2020 suggested. But I guess there are some like you, fadthil who will pay the price for the better, cleaner artwork and packaging.
