i got it in work, it actually cost me 2.50 as it was in a 4 for 10.00 deal, it was when we dropped all our trade in prices because we were overloaded with stock so they wanted us to get shot of wht we already had. HKL were indeed a great company it's very sad that they're no longer around, i try an pick them up when can, the last ones i got were from the magazine that was released. I picked up Prison on Fire 1+2 and Island on Fire, but my best HKL bargain was A Chinese Ghost Story special edition for £4.00...

Thats really good! CGS1 is pretty expensive these days!! I'm chuffed I managed to get Heart of Dragon from cex webby for £3 earlier. I'm eying up Dragon Lord of a certain forum member too but I'll never afford Dragons Forever (£18 on cex website!! )

Is that the one with the ink washed silk cover? That's the one I have and it's lovely to the touch

Oh good Lord Reaps!!! Hope they weren't impulse purchases Mind you however much I didn't like The Box ... it was miles better than The Fourth Kind

Bought

IRON MAN

on blu-ray the other day

To be honest I was a little underwhelmed with the audio on the TruHD soundtrack ... sounded very reserved in places. The gunfire sounded muffled or difused, the car crashes too. Odd really for such a blockbuster. Maybe I have been spoiled by DTS HD Master audio.

The picture was stunning tho!

Nice ones!
I wonder if there's a difference between the Dark Vision and Dead of Night dvd of Mausoleum?
I've got the Dead of Night.

I don't know! I'm just going to make some tea and watch it. It's a full-screen from VHS transfer.

Are these uncut? I know the pre-cert VHS was cut during one of the 'toothy chest' kills.
