If they're sealed and that price is shipped then its not that bad. $40 each or so sounds reasonable.

Not really, considering that amazon.fr is selling both for a total price of 40£ :

http://www.amazon.fr/Kill-Bill-Blu-r...2516526&sr=8-4

http://www.amazon.fr/Kill-Bill-Blu-r...2516526&sr=8-3

Also, there's a pack for 47£ with Kill Bill 1 & 2, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown

http://www.amazon.fr/Quentin-taranti...2516526&sr=8-6

=> But for that one, you should try to find someone who bought it since I don't know if they are in steelbooks (they are supposed to be, since the movies alone are).

Keep in mind that with these TF1 edition, you can't watch the movie in english without the french subs.

There's some talk that some of the TF1 titles from amazon.fr are no longer shipping steelbooks. Might want to do a little more digging before purchasing.

lewwyt · 01-03-2010, 11:32 AM

who do we ask? Does anyone have good enough French to ask Amazon Fr for us?

Dear Customer,

For your information from Amazon.fr.

As per your e-mail of 29 December 2009, we contacted our department and we inform you that we have in stock, both the boxes steelbook as well as plastic case. Unfortunately it is not possible to choose between the two.

Indeed, this item will be randomly selected by our fulfillment center during the preparation of your package (just before its dispatch).

We understand that online information is not always enough to help you in choosing your purchase. However, rest assured that our catalog department is constantly working to improve our pages to provide you with as much information as possible on each item.

Furthermore, we have forwarded this problem to the appropriate department so that it is taken into consideration and
the option to choose between steel book boxes and plastic cases soon be available on our site.

I hope this information meets your expectations and i thank you for your trust in Amazon.fr.

See you soon on Amazon.fr.

I've been speaking with a friend who works at a store and according to him, the pack including KB 1&2 + Pulp + Jackie are plastic cases.
He will check for sure tomorrow or on tuesday.

Keep in mind that every TF1 video BR has "compulsory" french subs when you watch the movie in english. That can be disturbing.

Concerning the taxes you shouldnt have some. I'm in France and I don't get any when I buy from amazon.co.uk and it should work the other way around.
We get taxes with products from Jersey over 22€ only.

I also messaged them about the 4 film boxset and they told me they cannot check themselves as the Customer Service department is seperate from the factory, but they have forwarded my message and it will be checked apparently!
