Do you know who ships R-1 DVD's to Japan besides Amazon.com? buy.com does not ship to Japan, nor does bigstar.com. I am wanting to pre-order the Akira DVD so that I can have a chance to get the Limited Edition Tin. Express.com says that a release data has not even been announced. The film is scheduled for release on July 24!! I'm an American in Japan with my R-1 DVD player, so I need the R-1. By the way - point of interest - DVDs CERTAINLY are expensive here!!
Thanks for your input.

express.com is going out of business, that might be why

I exclusively use Amazon.com to get my DVDs from the US. There are a few Canadian online dealers (moviesource.com) that ship to Japan, but, I don't like trying new dealers. Amazon is not the cheapest, but even with shipping its cheaper than most DVDs in Japan.

Although with Sakuraya and a few other stores carrying larger selections of DVDs this might change (but these are largely region 2 dvds).

Try AB sound from Canada, they ship very fast and thier prices are the cheapest.Amazon just recently lowered thier shipping prices so you get more choices!

DVDEmpire is the best place for ordering DVDs that ship here. I have used them and their shipping is more than reasonable.

Thanks for the input friends! Appreciate it.
