Ahh, now I get it. Thx for the clarification!

It's not a bootleg, but it also should not have English subtitles. None of the GD Face releases for Seven Swords has English subs, so it would be strange if the limited set did.

So just keep that in mind if you order one.

We have very reliable sources. This "Seven Swords" DVD does have English subtitles.

Good to hear!

Sifu,

How did you come to the conclusion that we www.movieSville.com sold a lot of bootlegs on eBay? Are you a former customer of ours?

We don't carry bootleg stock. If you get any items from us that look dubious, you can submit to MPAA or law enforcement or any studio for verification. Or contact me.

Our customer service can be reached at http://www.movieSville.com - use the "Contact" link. For customer's security concerns we do not directly respond to emails but we respond to posts on our Customer Service pages.

Yes, it was quite a while ago on eBay. And I did receive a bootleg. I don't know anything about your online site, or how you operate now, but a quick look does show some DVD's on your site which are not legit.

For instance, many of the Miyazaki titles from Mainland China that you sell are not legit. In fact, they even use prints from a very well known bootleg company called Anime Cartoon, and feature an orange logo in the shape of the letter "A" that shows up on the print every so often. Go ahead and check them yourself. It's quite easy to spot.

lingling, if you want to advertise your store here, you'll need to pay this site's owner. Failure to comply with this request will have the result you would expect from reading your membership agreement.

sorry about the small size,
but that is the Star Trek 12 disc Original series boxset from Japan

I am not a moderator, but I would hope LINGLING would be allowed to defend himself against such claims. There is more than one post in this thread speaking on his merchandise. I have never purchased from him, nor do I know who he is, but as a person who would like to stay informed I can only make a proper decision upon hearing both sides of the story.

I agree. As long as there isn't blatant promotion of their products or website, it's nice to have representatives of stores here to answer questions related to their products.

:up: Agreed. Seems he was just defending the company he works for and their product, not promoting it.

All you have to do is look through their anime section to see that it's the same bootleg crap as sold on places like eBay. I'd say about 90% of the anime they sell is bootleg product. There are very few legitimate anime titles released in asian countries that include English subs.

The fact that they claim not to sell bootlegs, and obviously do, shows that they are either lying, or have no idea what they are selling. Either way, I'd say it's a red flag.

After it was mentioned I took a look at some of the "Ghibli" discs on the site.
Goshu The Cellist and My Neighbor Totoro (grey border) both claim "Studio Ghibl"
on the covers. I'd say that's a pretty big red flag :)

No offense but I think this moviesville.com bootleg vs. not bootleg stuff should go into another thread.
Now, back to shiny dvds

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Oh please tell me its english subtitled
it comes with the game too right?

True enough.

No English, it does come with the game, and it's out of print. It was sold out before it was released last month.

No english subs. The R1 release I believe is set for Dec of this year. The ultimate edition pops up ebay every now and then.

i am sure this one was mentioned...

i didn't like the first movie all that much, but hell if i am gonna let another foreign box set pass me by, especially if it looks like that.

so anyone know what the sphere is made of? with the cheap price i hesitate to think it is mere plastic...and thus i might cancel.

I'm :fc: for this box set to be of decent packaging quality!

This did pop up in the v2 thread but damn it still never fails to bring the shiny.
I only saw the first and yeah it was crap but with that box - argggh so tempting!

any chance of a R1 release of the Phantasm sphere? otherwise, i'll have to get the R2. btw, the first Phantasm is a classic -- how could you not like it? (rhetorical)

Yes, I'm surprised at the dislike for the first movie. Yeah, it's b-movie fare, but 'crap'? C'mon! I thought it was the best one.

well, it is too bad it is plastic, but i may still have to get and maybe give the first one another chance. it was just so cheesy and bad acting and in no way horrifying which is what i hope to get out of these even for just a moment.

There will never be a R1 release of all the Phantasm movies, they are all owned by different studios as far as I can tell.

The first is still my favorite.

Kung Fu Hustle-Limited Figure Boxset (China Version)(DTS)(2Disc)(PAL)
 

Available at JSDVD

Chrome plastic? WTF?

You can chrome almost anything... even a plastic sphere! :)

It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. See the now locked phantasm-sphere threads :mad: for actual pics.

Only thing I don't like is the base. I wish it was sturdier.

Nice boxset. Here's the english/US$ link: http://mall.jsdvd.com/product_info.p...81&language=us If you are in the US, have you ordered from these guys? How's their service/turn around?

Also, there are some interesting boxsets in that site: http://mall.jsdvd.com/index.php?cPath=51_67 :hungry:

The Kung Fu Hustle set is very nice. Is that book signed? Any more details on the size of the figure, etc? It looks like a very nice price for the contents.

Yet another nice Kung Fu Hustle... looks like this movie is becoming another Terminator with endless Limited(?) editions to capitalize on.

ps... description says PAL format.

What's in that Complete Peanuts box set? All the movies or the brief TV series?

The thing with JSDVD is that they ship via EMS so the cost is more.

Regarding how they are, to be honest I haven't heard a bad thing about them.

Obviously certain Japanese/Korean and HK discs can be found cheaper at http://www.play-asia.com, http:/www.amazon.jp.co and the like. But for the rare and hard to find box sets, they are a great place.

That is because Region 6 China is PAL

The TV series. But it seems to be sold out.

D'oh!

Thanks for the info.

Anyone order from JSDVD yet?? I'd like to know what your experience was when you dealt with them! There are some Christmas gifts I'd like to buy from there but I want to make sure they are a good dealer.

I've ordered from them before, and my experiences have been pleasent. The shipping is fast, and trackable, if expensive. Their checkout is a bit odd, in that you place your order, pay for the items first, they assemble it and package it, and then they send you a link for the shipping charge. The good thing is it makes the shipping charge specific to your particular box's weight, but it does add an extra step.

Also, once one of my orders was held up a few weeks because one of my items was on order. I probably could've cancelled that one item, but I was willing to wait. I don't think this is a usual occurrence though.
