I ordered from them too. just like you i went on an extensive search. just received the email. hopefully it will be all fine. but i don't want to jump the gun.

thanks prymal for the heads up.. ordered mine too from annyoung... my yesasia ordered was cancelled unfortunately... update us once you receive your FITW LE.

:)

flashburn 10-15-04 08:01 PM

Thanks for the info, I went ahead and ordered it from annyoung.com as well. I don't really expect DVDAsian to get any in stock.

eXcentris 10-15-04 11:08 PM

annyoung.com? sounds like porn. :)

I've scoured the web, looking for a review, but have come up short...

see: Men in Black 2

I am getting it. If it is no good, I will trade it or ebay it. No big deal. Since it is so limited, I will probably make money should I decide to do it.

BuddhaWake 10-16-04 08:32 AM

my feelings precisely.

reggio@pacific. 10-16-04 08:50 AM

very realistic... i agree with your POV movieking... ;)

By that logic, I should buy every single LE released, in the hopes of making bundles on ebay. As a student, I do not have the resources for such things...

movieking 10-16-04 04:04 PM

First of all, who cares if you are a student? It has absolutely nothing to do with this thread or the subject. Are you trying to get sympathy for being a student and not having money?

Second of all, where did I say that I was buying the DVD to make money? I want to see the movie, and I would rather the LE than the regular edition. If I don't like it, I know that I can get my money back so I have no reason not to buy it. If I am not interested in a movie that is released in LE, I won't buy it. No big deal. But if I did want to buy every LE available and ebay them, that is my right as well.

Can you follow that "logic"?

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. I wasn't accusing you of anything...

I don't tell people what they can and can't buy or what they can and can't do with what they buy.

flashburn 10-16-04 05:44 PM

Mine shipped from annyoung.com today via USPS Priority, can't wait to get it.

Romerojpg 10-16-04 08:14 PM

I couldnt imagine buying any dvds if I were a student! how the hell would you pay for things like that?! I couldnt when I was a stundent thats for sure, unless you have a job as well. :)

Now I have a job I buy many, and I do invest in multiples of Special dvds I think will get me cash from them to pay for the copy I keep, it does work most the time, but its a big risk and buying 4 Alien Heads does cost shitloads and payed off in the end..

same goes for this Fighter in the Wind dvd, if I can get hold of 10 coopies of this L.E I will, it will cost me up front, but in the long run I know for certain I will be able to flog them for more than I paid, better than putting your cash in the bank thats for sure.


and as I am off topic, dont bite at me! you can say whatever you want as far as I can tell on this forum! and good on it too!

candyrocket786 10-16-04 09:45 PM

You should change your user name to Romero$$$ ;)

Didn't you get hit with a shitload of custom charges on those Alien heads?

candyrocket786 10-16-04 09:57 PM

By the way....if you're planning your retirement on "Fighter" sales, you might want to do it ASAP. Just in case the Korean studio that produced this film, decides to spit out a few more of these puppies to meet the insane demand.

movieking 10-16-04 10:00 PM

Customs suck, especially here in Canada. For anything outside of Canada, I get hit with 15% of the Canadian dollar value, plus $5. That can certainly add up.

For those of you that purchased it from annyoung.com, keep us up to date with your orders. If they come through, I will add them to the list of places from where I will look for international orders.

Are you referring to items received from etailers or those from other traders?

movieking 10-16-04 11:08 PM

Both really. For gifts, in Canada, we have the aforementioned taxes on anything over $60 Canadian. For merchandise, it is over $20. Most of my trades get by without getting hit, but most of my purchases outside of Canadian get nailed. :(

reggio@pacific. 10-17-04 02:42 AM

want to share this email from yesasia re the technical difficulty experienced by many while checking out Fighter in the Wind LE.. i doubt if this is true..

Why not just tell the truth, that they can't get enough to fill orders, instead of saying it's a "licensee problem"?

Romerojpg 10-17-04 11:59 AM

They have said that about the TV Series DAMO as well, they wont suply people outside america and asia? for some crazy reason, but most other companies will! I think they are a bunch of crazy fools sometimes :)
