Re: What Have You Ordered Recently? Part 8
As a birthday present for myself, Coffret le Saint from Amazon.fr. It's a collection of the first eight Saint B-mysteries from the 1940's. I love these flicks and have had my eye on this collection for some time.
I might have slightly preferred the Spanish sets as the packaging on those (based on the 90's VHS releases) are more "noir", but Amazon.fr takes off VAT and had cheaper shipping than any of the Spanish sites I visited. It's a shame that shipping is so prohibitive, because there's a few discs I would love to order from Spain (Pimpernel Smith, The Spanish Main, and the Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Sinbad the Sailor). The last two are available on Amazon.fr., but I am a little leery ordering them due to the French habit of forcing subtitles on English-language films. I only felt comfortable ordering the Saint set after stumbling across this review.
And holy crap, I just noticed that two of the Falcon series have been released in the UK! The Falcon Takes Over is the first film adaptation of Chandler's Farewell My Lovely, and The Falcon's Brother features real-life brothers George Sanders and Tom Conway as the sleuthing siblings. Come on, payday!

PIMPERNEL SMITH is a great hidden Gem, that has endured obscurity too long.
It has ALL of the charm of the first film, SCARLET PIMPERNEL, but updated to World War 2.
I love that one scene when the German soldier shoots the scarecrow and then it cuts to the shot of the blood trickling down it's forearm.

Just received Election and Election 2 HK Blus from RenChi for under $25 total. Now I have to order Arrow's Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens DVD because I realized last night that my copy is missing!

Wait a minute... I think it might be in my "Vixens" Russ Meyer box set. I totally spaced on that, I'll have to confirm when I get home.

I bought all of the 12 discs in that box for around $9 each and I was stoked about that! This was before they released the big box.

Zombeaner, I just had a thought... did you receive the 2-Disc editions of Election and Election 2? That is what I am hoping and expecting to receive but I thought I could ask you to verify.

Re: What Have You Ordered Recently? Part 8
Crap... the listings noted all the bonus features so I figured they would send the 2 disc editions. 
That's still a good deal for the film's themselves though.

From an ebay seller, the Thai DVD of The Mercenaries (Dark of the Sun). As a result, you can expect a deluxe edition R1 Blu-Ray announced within the week.
