if titles i own disappear but emerge in the UK, i'll try to sell the TT for what i paid and import the other one. i can save myself about 50% that way.

Yeah but look at the Umbrella region free release of The Blob 1988 and the original. From what I've read the 1988 release has some bad transfer issues while TT's is stellar and Criterion has a definitive release of the original. I know TT's 1988 Blob is sold out but for me it would be worth it to buy at a higher price on amazon to have a better transfer. That's where cheapness comes into play with a lot of consumers who would rather have a cheaper release than a quality one which hurts blu ray. I know there's other UK region free editions that are quality but its the bigger picture too with other boutique labels.
