Even the Korean set is over a $100 at Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N) too.

is $33 the cheapest shipping option? Its a bit steep, although still an excellent price overall

Doll

29-04-2005, 19:32

I think $33 is the cheapest, thats what I paid. Still, I have read it's a heavy set.

Surprised no-one's mentioned this (Phanton of the Opera 2004) set (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://cd-wow.at/thedvdforums^QS^DURL=http://www9.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php^QS^product_code=17954) yet.

Looks quite a nice package and pretty limited too !
Just received this and am very disappointed. Rather than the leather box described it actually comes in a cheap PVC/leatherette clad effort. :suspect:

Sending mine back.

Soon see if they're as good as their word. :shrug:

For the record, it is still quite a nice set, but I bought it as a gift rather than because I want to see the film so it didn't live up to what I wanted. Others might still like it. :)

Shutter which is a asian horror film now also has a limited edition and it seems to look very nice indeed. There is a thread on the actual film in this forum, but I thought I'd mention the limited edition version in this thread. Pictures are available at the following links...

Just a little note from my experience with DVDHeaven:

1. Pay by paypal - their verified by visa thing looks a bit shoddy and I couldn't see any sign of encryption

2. Choose the cheapest shipping option (which is still a fair whack) - my disks arrived in a week, which is respectable.

3. If you have any queries, the quickest way to contact them is via MSN (http://www.dvdheaven.com/help/help_007.php) - I cancelled an order and asked for order status using MSN and both times I was dealt with very courteously.

4. Packaging for disks is excellent - nice sturdy boxes are used for SEs, complete with additional bubble wrap.

I'd definitely use them again - I quite fancied the Kubrick box set and Kevin Smith Collection

Odd, I have the Korean SE (with film cell etc.) and it has English subs.

Also, it is optically censored (male full frontal nudity i.e. dangly bits)...

just received my r2 Superbit (Jap) Kung Fu Hustle from Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N) and it is damn good. Spotless transfer and top notch audio as weve come to expect from Superbit titles. I do like the sparkly finish on the dvd, adds class to the package.

On a bitter note, just got caught out on a couple of titles with forced subs :(
The Final Cut(r3) and Below(r3). Bought them for the dts soundtrack.

whats in the incredibles set? are there any better pic of the box set about
im thinking of getting it

I can't remember too much but there is semi-hefty 'Art of The Incredibles' book in there which is presumably in Japanese but the book is available on it's own in the UK - I saw it in Borders just before Christmas

Here it is on Amazon Japan (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009DC7Z4/qid=1136546544/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl74/250-1931626-0910649)
Looking at that now it seems to have a watch and some sort of print/cell.

is it not a little misleading where it shows the box of 4 figures and a horse - according to the specs (from what I can see), you only actually get one figure and NOT the 5 as shown :(

Little bit naughty as far as I am concerned.

Or have i read it wrong?

Do you get the box of 4 plus the horse and an extra figure which;

It also features a 5-inch tall figure resembling the Qin Dynasty soldier! We would pick 1 out of 4 different designs for you, and you have to dig out the figure with the tools provided - be an archeologist yourself!

Any clarification on this????

Thanks

Ste7en

06-01-2006, 11:06

You get everything along the top"Product images" section.

The other items are a "Gift-mousemat" and a "Luckydraw Gift-set of four figures and a horse" (I assume both are from YesAsia).

I pre-ordered the set and didn't receive any additional "Gifts" from YesAsia :(

Think I'll mail them and have a whinge!

Ste7en

06-01-2006, 11:17

Oops! I got a mousemat. Ooo... how could I forget! :)

The figure is a bit naff. It's a little like one of those dinosaur kits you se in those Discovery shops. Looks like it's encased in a big chicken Oxo cube!

I probably wouldn't have bothered with it it it wasn't a 3 disc set.

zorro

06-01-2006, 11:24

Ah, so you do not automatically get the 4 figures and horse - only if you a "lucky"???
