OUTSTANDING!!! Trailing right after Alexa with this most important question:

How much of my 2006 Tax Return must I set aside for these DVD sets? Or another way to ask, how many hundreds of dollars will these beautiful sets cost?

Great information Choko .. the DVD set look to be so beautifully presented.

[Guy Incognito]

Kbs' e-store is down, so i'd try Yesasia. Shame it's only 33 episodes, but thats better than nothing.

Hi,

Like I mentioned in another thread, I've already contacted AsianDB, and they've updated their store to include pre-order information. You can get the first boxset HERE and HERE's the second set.

YesAsia doesn't have it listed yet... Those are the the usual places I purchase from, but if I find another online store selling them, I'll pass on the link.

Although I'm not happy about the missing 71 episodes, I'm so excited to finally see DVDs released! Cannot wait to get my copies. ;D Even if there is less Nalbal.

Yahoo and drats. It's terrific that FINALLY IYSS is available, but... Nalbal spoke so seldomly in the full version, anyone watching the DVDs of the series are going to be wondering who the heck he is. They better not cut his dramatic entry where he defends Yi Soon Shin -- and then is immediately admonished by him!

[Heather]

Hi,

Cross-posted this here just in case some folks watch this forum and not the IYSS one in the Off-Air section. But here is what I recently heard from customer service at YesAsia.com:

"We apologize that due to licensing issues, we would not be able to provide KBS products to be shipped to North America and Canada. Thus, the item Immortal Lee Soon Shin will not be made available on our US website.

"This product is already on pre-order under our global site. The item can only be ordered by global customers and no information has been updated if this could be made available for US and Canada in the future."

You can see the DVDs at their global site [ boxset one ] and [ boxset two ]. Not that it does us in the States or Canada any good.

[Choko]

I found this DVD shopping mall. I hope it will be helpful to you guys.
Look at the bottom right side of the following web page. IYSS DVD sets are there.

www.dvdfromkorea.com/

[alexa unlogged]

why won't yesasia deliver to U.S? I've ordered from them a few times and everything was fine

[Heather]

Alexa: They said because of "licensing issues" - and some months back I thought I heard that YesAsia got into hot water with KBS for selling bootleg copies of their TV series Haeshin (Emperor of the Sea). Don't quote me, though, 'cuz I don't really know the whole story...

Choko: The DVDfromKorea website says the IYSS DVDs are encoded Region 3 for Korea. That means you must own a player that supports that or every Region. Thankfully I do, but I thought all the other websites were saying it was an All Region release...?

[Guy Incognito]

Most likely the DVDfromKorea website mistakenly labeled it as region 3 encoded, since it is a korean dvd, they probably thought that it was encoded for Korean DVD players. I'm sure the other sites are correct in saying that it is encoded for all regions. And that place seems to have the best price of them all. www.dvdfromkorea.com/shop/p_list.asp?option_2=immo <-- here is a direct link to the two boxsets on dvdfromkorea if you couldn't find them on the page. I don't know wether to preorder it from the dvdfrom korea site or just wait till the 17th and see if any other sites have it.

[Heather]

Thanks, Guy! Like I said, it wouldn't have been a major dilemma for me since I have an All-region player for my TV; but if I wanted to get screen captures of my beloved Nalbal, then I'd be screwed as my computer player is set to Region 1. They do have the best price I've seen quoted thus far, unless they charge a high shipping fee.

Also, I just heard back from HanBooks.com, and even though it is not yet listed on their website, Jason told me they will take pre-orders for both boxsets via email. The price for each set is $94.99 (CA residents must add sales tax) with combined shipping to the USA at $8.90. Not bad, not bad.

For further information, you can email them at: [e-mail].

I've pre-ordered my copies because I'm too afraid that the pre-orders will take priority and potentially render stores out of stock for awhile. Yeah, I'm paranoid like that! (LOL)

I could tell you how to make your DVD drive region free (for free),
But that's A LOT of typing, read it here...


Or you can get a program like DVD Region+CSS Free v5.9.8.3, install it and watch anything....

[Guy Incognito]

I just contacted DVDFromKorea about the dvd sets, and they contacted the publisher of the DVDs. The rating is all, and they corrected it accordingly. Also, for those who order from there, they told me that the shipping to the United states is $34.00 standard (and takes 6-10 days), and Express is $52.00 (and takes 3-5 days). Hope this helps you all.

[Guy Incognito]

Sorry for the double post, but I just had a thought. Since the AsianDB store also ships from Korea, will they have the same high shipping costs? If so, then it's probably best to order from DVDFromKorea.
