Their per disc price = $29.95 ex. shipping... this equates to roughly £18.50, which exceeds the UK customs threshold.

This is true.....if they put the real price on the customs label

Ah, so it's all about rolling the dice and taking your chances in that respect

However, over £20 (with the shipping) and the risk of further charges for a barebones Blu is too expensive for my tastes. That, and how TT operate in as much as doing this at all, puts me off as a consumer.

Also, now the potential is there to pick up an extras laden version with better PQ for half the price, as we've seen with The Fury, what with other territories releasing films TT have also released. I guess it's all about chance again in this respect though: do you wait it out and see, or do you pull the trigger now. Me, I'm happy to wait on many titles. I have decent enough DVD versions of many of them to tide me over for now, and to be honest aside from The Big Heat, Christine, and Ms. 45, I haven't had the slightest desire to pick up any of TT's output so far.

Every (single) disc i've ordered has said $5 value on it. I only got hit with customs charges because I went with priority shipping for 2 discs. Which turned out to be pointless, because people here got theirs (normal shipping) by the time I could go pick it up at the post office.

I have absolutely no idea where you heard TT had Ms.45, as Drafthouse only recently announcing they are doing a brand new blu ray release with a restoration from the negative.

They look a lot nicer than Arrow's. They've been delayed slightly. I have them both on order though. You can get them from diabolik dvd amd blurays for everyone. They're not cheap though. Around £40 each.

Is this just the same as arrows version, because that look good to me, sure the extras are the same. Could be wrong

Edit

Looks like I was wrong. 40 is too much.

Remastered. Better colours, digital errors fixed, Italian, US English & International English audio tracks on Demons, and new extras from High Rising Productions.
