hey seph, howdy! this sort of thing happens to me everytime kaya nga naghahanap ng kadamay, haha!  ;) 

like in the Viva-Fox sale a couple of months back... i told myself i'll just go back for the 299 php na Aliens, Xmen2 etc then a day later naubusan ako.

and if only i was in Manila the first few days of the Viva-Disney sale then maybe baka may Lion King R3 na ako. ::)

i also passed up a lot of good and cheap R1 & R3 titles when i was in Bangkok earlier this year because i was wary about bootleg stuff pero a friend confirmed na origs nga pala. Grrr! imagine R3 LOTR EEs in digipac for only 459 baht!!!  to add insult to injury, i instead got the crappy Secrets of Da Vinci Code and Secrets of Angels & Demons dvds na super poor transfer.

I wouldn't be too remorseful about the Bangkok R3s you passed up on.

when i was there a couple of years ago, i bought an R3 copy of We Were Soldiers for about B350, if i remember right. I think it was locally produced, or at the least, it was made specifically for the Thai market, much like what distributors do over here. Anyway, less than two years hence, i tried to play it, pero ayaw na mabasa, whichever player i try it on. My bro was able to watch it once though, when i first got it.

plus, as i recall, the video quality was rather subpar.

Huh? I got the last copy indeed, for P999.00.... But during the April Astro sale. Not the recent one.

I regret not getting Lion King R3 from one of the stores I went to during the early part of Viva's sale.

Oops, sorry made a mistake. It was a long line kasi sa cashier and I was medyo nasa dulo. Saw a copy na nasa basket kasama ng madami pang DVD's and akala ko kay sir Matzter ito. Sorry again, my mistake.

When I was in the US, I already bought 4 DVDs that encompass the 3rd Generation of Robotech. But I'm more gamer that DVD buff and I was running out of dollars, so I returned them for a full refund to buy some video games.

I ordered one of the last remaining copies of House of Flying Daggers (Limited 2-disc edition exclusive to amazon uk). It arrived here, the Araneta PO sent me a notice, and that night the post office burned down, and my dvd literally went up in flames. amazon uk said they would have sent a replacement but the title is no longer available, so they just reversed the credit card charges.

(however, HOFD will be the first ones out on blu-ray...hmmm...blessing in disguise?)

last December 2005 saw a copy of Heaven and Earth ung vietnam war movie love story at Astovision SM Manila for only P299 with slipcase pa.  Being a war movie fanatic this is such a big loss for me.  But all is not lost as i got on the next day the Big Red One the reconstruction with slipcase also for P299.  ;D

Go back to Amazon UK right now.

The price dropped back down.  8)

The same thing happened to me at Aamzon UK - I placed an item in my shopping cart last Saturday (The Professionals: The Complete Series), then when I tried to checkout on Monday, the price had skyrocketed almost TRIPLE the sale price, so I just cancelled my order. The price went back down today, so I checked the Alien Quadrilogy for you.

Mine would be "The Boiler Room" (2000 staring Giovanni Rebisi, Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck) which I did'nt buy when I saw it in Thailand, I opted for the Corruptor and Spy Game and concentrated on eating and shopping for clothes. ;D
