You can currently order these off of Amazon for £90.
There is free international shipping for a limited time, just quote 'FSWN9' when ordering more than $75 worth.

What about customs? its only a tenner more from a UK based site, surely that would be the safer bet?

Where have you seen it for £76 from a UK based site????

Customs (to UK) would be £8 straight away to Royal Mail, and then whatever on top. Having been hit recently for Heroes S1 (at £35) I'd say minimum £15 total but most likely more.

Even at £76, I'll be waiting quite a few years for a cheaper release!

Not worth it when you add customs on top. I'll stick with my £75 order.

You need to search for a voucher to get an exrra £5 off though.

Thanks Scrounger.

Found the voucher but the place that tells you about it says that they're based in Jersey so there will be customs to pay. Surely in that case it would be cheaper to buy it from the OP site?

Or is there no customs from Jersey?

unless things have changed, there's no customs from Jersey.

You're thinking of VAT. If items are shipped from Jersey under £18, no VAT is payable. Items over that, the VAT is collected at retailer. No customs.

This is what retailers in Channel Islands are supposed to do and most reputable ones like Play.com (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1418&id=30372) and HMV (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p(18710)a(60823)g(280345)) do.
However some do NOT, can't remember the names, so with those you are liable for VAT as has not been prepaid by the retailer if £18 or above.

YES
The US release is a HD-DVD combo so dual side HD-DVD on one side, normal DVD on other (not sure if they have down converted to SD for the DVD side or if the DVD is just the old versions), not sure if UK gets HD-DVD only.

The UK set is also a combo.
