You should have asked those comedy folk running Paramount Pictures UK operation why it is they still aren't bothering to release so many of their own films on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom, before you asked them to release three titles from Warner Brother's catalogue and one from Pathe's.

the DVD boxset in the UK was released by Paramount, no reason why they couldn't do the same again on bluray. other than they could not be arsed

That was the DVD box set though, which only contained films 1-8.

It's possible that the agreement between Paramount and Warner Bros. allows for a future UK Blu-ray release of those 8 films, the ones currently contained within the UK DVD box set, but it's not an absolute given that this is the case.

Plus Paramount's UK staff really can't be arsed.

I guess I more than likely lend up buying the US set at some stage then.

Pretty shit that there is no planned u.k. release though hardly surprising. If you had this imported from the states you are guaranteed additional charges as anything with a value of £15 or over is opened at customs with a minimum charge of £11 or thereabouts.

if you buy it from the states use amazon global shipping. you can prepay the import vat and avoid the extra services charge that you would be charge if you pay the vat on delivery

[mredman]

but isn't the set from US region free anyway as its released from warner ?
So what does it matter if it does not get a UK release when we can just import this region free set

Thanks for the tip!

Is this likely to work out cheaper than paying the vat for delivery?

Is anyone else wanting to order this and Chucky Collection from US?
