I remember wrongly, the region 1 is $174, not $127. Didn’t exchange coz can’t find titles I want to make $90 (in order to purchase from Amazon). Will have to make do with region 3.
Meanwhile, I have bought Dinosaurs - Myths & Reality, had Emmy awards for $23. -

Have just purchased online from Amazon for 2 DVDs:
1) David Attenborough Wildlife Specials $17.99
2) Nature: Big Cats $17.99
Though not cheap when convert to SGD, these 2 titles HMV doesn’t have. -
You mean this? http://www.amazon.com/David-Attenborough-Wildlife-Specials/dp/B0012YN5AK
The above is at 40% discount atm, in my reckoning that would be a very good price.
even if HMV had it, what price would it be I wonder? Compare Planet Earth. If Amazon you can buy at S$84 after discount, and HMV is selling at $174? This is for an item at US RRP US$80. So, since Wildlife Specials is US RRP $30, HMV might sell it at 30/80 x 174 = S$65. Speculative calculation...
BTW, if you want to buy locally, do consider places like LaserFlair and BlueMax - much much more reasonable than HMV, even for code 1s. -

yes, that is the link.
thank you -
For Planet Earth, you got to watch it in Blu-Ray to have great experience!
IIRC, order the Planet Earth BD from Amazon UK is cheaper than from US. -
sashimi:
Just to demonstrate the point - 3 days ago the above set on Amazon went back up to 89.95, but today it has dropped down to USD69.95, i.e. 30% off.
Am eyeing the The Universe collector's megaset (US99.95). Last week was at 89.95, this week dropped to 79.95.... I usually won't buy until the discount is at least 30%.

why it can go up? So are you getting it now? -

what is the difference between:
The Universe Collector’s Megaset (today I see it is $74.99) &
The Universe: Our Solar System ($14.99)
I was looking out for solar system and
The magic school bus - Lost in Space -

Sorry for the late response. If I'm not wrong, my research indicated that the Megaset contains the Solar System episodes. The Megaset includes season 1, season 2 and the solar system, IIRC. So once the price drops to a good level (I'm hoping for 40% off) it's a very good deal.sashimi

I just received this from Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Earth-Blue-Special-Collectors/dp/B000TEUSQ8/ref=ntt_tv_ep_opt_001
It's a compilation of Planet Earth & The Blue Planet Seas of Life. My daughter saw a couple of episodes on TV and wanted more.
At the time I ordered it, 1 May, it was at US$66.49, almost half the original price of US$120. It's at 38% off now (rem that Amazon's discounts fluctuate with time).
Postage for the package, which included 2 other DVDs, was US$14.47. Split equally, which is what AMazon does, Planet Earth cost me US$4.82 in postage.
Citibank charged me US$1 = SG$1.519.
So, my damage is SG$108.32 for Planet Earth + Blue Planet. 10 dvds @ $10.80 each.
Cheap right?
Order was shipped May 2 and arrived today, May 20 = 18 days.
Just sharing again so you all can save money.....
