I've been waiting for the price to go down for the US version...just ordered mine the price before shipping was ~30

I also got my UK Planet Earth copy several days ago. It took less then a week for this item to show up at my house in Jersey from the UK.

We watched the bonus disc on "snow leopards" and it was amazing.

Superior in every way to the Discovery 1080i version that I own.

Yeah, I ordered mine after Christmas and got it in quickly! Hmm...perhaps I'll start keeping an eye out on UK releases...hehe...

Is this deal still working as of today (January 3)?

[dancemf]

Ordered mine on the 29th. Nothing yet. Waiting.Patiently.

Did anyone from Canada ordered this? if yes, did you get charged for customs/duties when it arrived?

HD 335, you have enough money to just pick up two copies? Wow. It took me about a year to finally get the set.

I just made my first purchase from amazon.uk

Eddie2u...awesome system!!!

Thanks! There is a lot more stuff that I have to upgrade. Since everything will be moved into a bigger room I did not take the time to hide the wires.

I just received mine today also. A big Thanks to the original poster.

It is nice to know that Amazon.co.uk does ship to the USA. I would of ordered Battle Royale on Dvd from them instead of getting it off ebay. At the time the UK version was the one to get. It kind of sucks that the UK version of Army Of Darkness was region coded. I think I would of bought it for the 10th time.

Yes depends on the shipment, I ordered a steelbook from a seller on ebay.co.uk and received it in 4 days, some US sellers cant beat that

[Jamoctopus]

Rock out.

I got mine yesterday. I was also surprised at the speed. I tried to wait to hear more feedback about this deal, since I live in the US. I don't like ordering out of country, but since everyone seemed to be having good luck, I thought I'd give it a shot. Arrived real quick and not a bit of damage. I can't wait to watch this. Thanks to the original poster.

Looks like they are a little back ordered now

I can thank my financial advisor for allowing me to spend on my hobbies relatively freely

I'm a big fan of packaging, being that I work in a related industry so I always appreciate members posting photos of their box sets also.

There really isn't any luck when ordering from Amazon.co.uk or any other Amazon sites. That's how most of us get our imports and all arrive in less than 2 weeks typically. I can't wait to get Batman 1989 and Batman Returns soon

[kobeeightjp]

looks like it's back-ordered..its says (ships in about 11-14 days)...I think Ill wait till they re-stock

[hellmutt]

My UK version says 1080i on the back of the packaging. Is it a printing error?

I believe folks have mentioned they must put that as some of the additional features are in 1080i but the main feature is 1080p (i guess they should have really put both on the back)
