Akira Kurosawa Collections

Does anyone have any info on these:

link to auction for shiver-me-timbers merchandise removed - sfsdfd

They seem like a good buy... almost too good. under $40 for eleven kurosawa movies...
Looks like they're from China. Does anyone know about the quality on these discs?

thanks

Eric

The seller is selling bootleg anime DVDs, so the Kurosawa DVDs are probably boots too.

Buy it now price is $1.99 with a shipping charge of $35.99.

I smell something, but it's not a deal.

Those discs are bootlegs and they have poor subtitles and overall quality. You're much better off saving for legitimate releases (all but one have been been released by the Criterion Collection) or renting the titles from somewhere like Netflix.

Yup. Looks highly sketchy.

Closing thread. And it seems like a good idea to remove the link, too.
