Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade is well worth $4.99 for anime fans.

I think the MSRP on all the Twilight Zone DVDs was lowered... Barnes & Noble has them all listed for $7.99, and you can get each individual volume at DVDPacific for $3.84... Still doesn't explain why Amazon only has those six sets listed at a lower price, but you might be able to get the others cheap as well.

(unfortunately not the one I wanted most, but that's becides the point)

My credit card always charges me a "currency conversion" fee on all those Canadian purchases though. Not a lot, but enough to make up the difference between $4.99 with A9 discount and $4.85. Did anyone share the love on these for an added discount? I sent it to as many as I could find requesting it for the TZ titles when I bought them.

I never noticed any fee's for buying from dvdsoon ..there's usually a few cents difference but I just assume that's the daily exchange rate ..it's never more than 7 or 8 cents..something I bought last month at the same CAD is only like 8 cents "more" now than before..4.99 vs 4.85 is not a lot of difference..but you'll pay shipping at amazon unless you're over 25 ...everyone's CC is different though ..and your choice as to what you want to purchase where

question regarding Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade-

It also apparently comes in a Special Edition set. Would anyone recommend getting that instead? Is this single disk edition of good quality? I assume this doesn't have any extras...

I hate double-dipping so much that I'd even consider NOT buying this if it means I'll someday want to re-purchase it...even for 5 bucks.

The Special Edition is a 3 disc set. Disc 1 is the movie, disc 2 are the extra features and disc 3 is the CD soundtrack. Disc 1 is the same for both versions. I have the 3 disc set. My advice, save the money and get the 1 disc version for $4.99.
