Best (ie cheapest) place for They Live & Prince of Darkness Sp Eds?
Both are anamorphic with commentary tracks but due to Germany’s draconian restrictions on selling 18 rated product over the net, they are not available at Amazon.de. Found them here http://www.1a-dvdshop.ch/ but they’re a little pricey. Anyone found better prices that ships to the UK?

a little offtopic
That site is great! I've been looking for R2 sites with good technical info. It appears the German versions of Bride Of Re-Animator, Field Of Dreams, and Misery are all anamorphic. 
I'm also interested in They Live. I hope someone knows of a better bargain cause I'm anxious to order these.

It's pretty much a gonner worldwide (They Live!) on DVD, but if you are desperate for the movie & don't want to pay "collector scum" prices, it's on VCD. Downside: It'll have burned in chinese subs.

I guess it is strange, for example The Goonies was meant to be out here in Feb/March, but now is coming in August, so UK titles have known to get delayed mysteriously, especially Arnie's The Running Man, menstioned a while ago, but yet to come out.
