3 parcel came today and good news is no customs woot Ganpati Bappa Morya

the shakira concert tour blu ray with cd came without shrinkwrap :O and the package was untampered had the packing wrapped still from amazon, so how come amazon uk send an open parcel , plus the bonus cd disc was outside cover and luckily no scratches

Thanks for the pics.

@ saketb
thanks for your very helpful pm! much appreciated.

@ viper08
great insight there, viper08, and duly noted!
saketb has pointed me in the right direction. now i need to make some enquiries and figure out the best way forward. will start a new thread once i have a clearer picture, so as not to hijack this one.
thanks again!

@ technobhatt, crossbow & bluraymaniac
thanks for your kind comments, guys
to answer some queries:
- yes, i have a decent stash of criterions, all on dvd. most of them are foriegn language films of an older vintage. and they're bloody expensive! hence, i've resisted the temptation to double dip on bluray.
- yes, i have a 360 and GoW is a favourite! but the guy i'm paying homage to is john coltrane, the jazz great

I received these from amazon today...

X-Men Ultimate Collection - 5 movies Boxset
Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code - 2 movies Boxset

Both have extended cuts along with theatrical cut in Angels & Demons. Plenty of extras and exclusive videos only on Blu-ray.

X-Men Ultimate Collection - Box is embossed and nice to look at. Very slim individual boxes for all the 5 movies. Good set of extra content.
The first three are region free, Wolverine is region A&B, First Class is region B locked.

Nice haul saket bro.

Something came from Germany for me too.

Received in flat 5 days. And no customs. :yahoo:

That is something!! 5 days is awesome and no customs, icing on the cake...

Looks stunning, I wonder how the art work would be inside. If you don't mind can you post some pictures of the inside and the disc as well.

I bet it will be a treat...

Thanks any way.

Part 3 is 2 disc addition.

Hey bro, these are some must haves you have got. Good choices.

Definitely the new Bourne pack has nice art work and extras.

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks mate. Will post inside art by night.

And ya Deutsche Post DHL is very fast IMO. my 2 orders from amazon DE came in flat 5 days. And both the times no customs.

hi crossbow

what is the shipping option one has to select on amazon.de? i'm trying to order 'the shadow' on bluray, and the shipping cost works out to 12 euros! the total for one disc is 28 euros!! unfortunately, the movie has not been released elsewhere on blu.

Standard option mate. "Standard shipping (7-19 business days)". This is the cheapest one.

Also, when ordering from amazon DE, FR or IT, shipping cost will be same. Mostly 11 Euro. If you combine more items, it will decrease too.

It denotes 7-19 days, but if posted via Deutsche Post DHL, you will mostly receive it within 7 days.

Also it only makes sense for titles which are exclusive to amazon DE, specially steelbooks and here in your case not available in India. Better check at amazon UK first mate, otherwise 28-30 euro for 1 BD is quite costly.

 

[coaltrain]

thanks, crossbow!
guess i'll have to check out their 'deals' section.

one other query:
does the avengers bluray you picked up have the 1hr 38mins doc entitled 'marvel: building a cinematic universe'? apparently, in the us, this is only available on blurays bought from target outlets.

thanks in advance and sorry for the bother

You are right mate, that 90 mins documentary is part of target exclusive. And there's one scene censored also in non US/CA releases. It's no big scene. just a short fraction.
Also, check out this thread. It has comparison of all different avengers releases. censored /extras and stuff.

Avengers Steelbook Guide - Blu-ray Forum

Oh ya and another thing is US and CA steelbook releases are having viva metal case too. IMO Bestbuy exclusive and futureshop exclusive too iirc.

 

[coaltrain]

wow, crossbow! you've really researched this well
thanks for the link, too. some good info on that page.
