I'm wanting to buy the DVD box set of Corner Gas which is currently unreleased in the UK.

Anyone give me tips for best place to get it on-line and imported to the UK?
 
Corner Gas is an excellent series, which never appeared over here in the UK as far as I know. You can buy the DVDs from Amazon UK - [EDIT] Sorry, link is misbehaving!!! but obviously, as they are US imports they will be Region 1 discs and not playable with standard Region 2 DVD players.

Unfortunately it looks as though there is no cheap way to get the complete collection legitimately :(

You could always ask out American and Canadian friends here on the forum for help... ;)

I have looked on Amazon and ebay and people are charging what appear to be inflated prices.

Yeah hopefully someone in the US / Canada can help.
 
You know you can buy from amazon US and have it shipped to the UK.

I have done the opposite before. Just takes a bit to find someone that will do the shipping
 
Just tried adding it to my basket and it's nearly £40 before shipping :-(

I suppose we're spoiled in the UK with box set prices.

I saw the full Breaking Bad on Blu-Ray for £25 the other week.

If that is an entire multi-season series, that is actually pretty damn good. I remember paying ~$50 a season for House M.D. a while back.
 
Yeah it was the full 5 seasons, most box sets in the UK are very reasonably priced when you see how many discs are in the box compared to individual movies.

Might have to add a watch to Amazon and wait for it to drop in price a bit.
 
Those prices have been there since I looked six months ago... They're not dropping any time soon. I still think they are pretty reasonable myself if you buy them individually. Those full sets are stupidly priced though.
 
Jane bought me this for Christmas and I'm a bit concerned it may be a bootleg due to the the packaging and video image quality.

Does anyone in the US / Canada have the boxset that can confirm a couple of things for me.
