For those who lives in the country of the seller's markek they have the price without the sending.

for other like me, there is two (three) way:
the fastless and the faster (
there is a intermediary way in USA)

In fact what I see when I compare the price: is that the lower european price is not so far from the highter price I can have if I purchase the CR of the Return of the king in US.
I think that european seller by the CR in USA almost at the same price than me as if I do it in the faster way.
With that there are able to sold it between 2 and 9 days after the release (it's rather 9 days than 2 days I suppose)
But to win something about 10 days if I do not purchase it in the way 2 in USA ( as I have done it for the TTT CR) I lost 18€ (if I buy it in germany, not in the UK : the Pound is too strong comparing the euro).
And I remember that Amazon.uk has delayed of three week the release of the TTT CR.
I think the price of Amazon.de/uk is depending of the number of copy they espect to sold (they do economies on the number of copy they imports in a normal way ??) but if they don't have so much command they attends they can rescheduled the release.
And I remenber too that the TTT CR were out of stock in December, if the ROTK CR is a greater and faster succes than its predecessor I don't want to lost my place in the first batch of the so waited Complete Recordings of the Return of the King.

So I think it's the better compromise to buy it in the US.

Anyway, 10 days or 20 days: it's to wait :cry:

The concerts of the National Orchestra of France under the direction of Howard Shore (Symphony "the Lord of the Rings"), initially programmed November the 3 and 4, are deferred to a later date in June-July 2008, in adequacy with world creation in Châtelet of its opera "The Fly". Not being able to give you currently more precise details on this carryforward, we prefer to propose the refunding of your tickets to you (the amount of your reservation will be introduced in bank at your credit) and will not obviously fail to inform you of the date of carryforward as soon as it is stopped. Us you prions to be so kind as to excuse us for this hitch and to accept, dear Sir, dear Madam, the expression of our sincerity.

what it looks like the concerts of LOTR will be cancelled and The Fly symphony is now planned for June/July 2008 date.

Nobody said Fleming or Lennox were as big a name as 50 Cent, just that they would be big enough to sell additional copies of the set.

Not that it matters, anyway.
But for the integrity of a film score release, it's better to have Renee Fleming attached to it than some rap dude.

A website has published the letter of the Theatre of "Chatelet" send to those who have booked this happening. (I am Not still receive it at this time!)

In fact for the refunding of the money they have to fill in a form and send back it with the ticket to be pay back.

If someone is not able to read in french writing I can help for the filling of the form.

Oh. My. God.

Please tell me you don't have one of these backwards-counting clocks on the wall which you've set for RotK:CR's release...

Since I have a life these days for a change, I can now FINALLY tell people: GET A LIFE!

Good idea Christian ...

Unrelated: since this set will be my Christmas present, I am in no hurry to receive it. I had planned to order it from Amazon.de, since the price with €48 was quite agreeable.

Seeing how good the exchange rate $/€ is these days, I might change my mind and do an order with Peter, IF we agree on the following:

(A) No invoice.

(B) A custom declaration marks the shipment as "gift", with a value of $20. All saving money would be shot to hell if my beloved German Custom Services would open it and decide I should pay them 19% custom tax and VAT.

(C) This comes as well wrapped as the FishChip's hamsters can make it. No loose CDs, although I absolutely realize you can't do anything about it, as the holding clips in these sets were always a bit dodgy.

(D) DHL shipping of $4.99 applies to this set.

(E) All of the above.

Peter, what say you?

you're crazy !!!

But worry not, Mr Kelly, I've got some stuff down my line that needs ordering soon. And maybe, one day, I won't be in Germany any more and so won't have to ask for "special deals", which I primarily ask for in order to avoid customs.

My apologies if I ruffled some feathers. That was not my intent.

So my point was, it's perfectly fine if you prefer not shipping to India.

On the other hand, if anyone is coming down to India, I'd rather hand-delivery... I'd be eternally grateful and pay you with a sightseeing trip round the country, Earl-style

Actually, I do. And I'm proud of it

Ruckus, I really like your counter. Thanks, I already told everybody near me that I just have to wait 2443895 seconds longer for the CR-release-date.

Argh. I keep looking at that countdown, but you know, the more you check the time, the slower the time goes by. So I'm just gonna try to concentrate on all the other stuff I have to do, rather than wishing for ROTK music, and November 6th will be here in no time

They haven't the good reflexes of jogger who run on long distance and while long time.
they must to be careful to keep breathing until the end if they don't want to have nervous breakdown so near from the goal we want to reech and we're running for since nearly one year.

keep breathing, keep breathing: dwarf with natural skill of sprinter....
there are still 28 days until the release of the ROTK-CR

Amazon.co.uk CR import

46.69 GBP (= 67 EUR) (= 95 USD)

I don't know how Amazon can justify this price difference, even between .co.uk and .de.

ruckus

Regarding prices, though, as with the UK (where I'm originally from), we can expect the price to be higher than the US prices. I'm expecting Return of the King to be around 9000 yen; right now Fellowship is 7900 while Two Towers is 9000 on Amazon.co.jp.

I just hope they put it up on the site soon so I can pre-order it.

Incidentally, there is a nice big image of the Return of the King cover on Amazon.co.uk now.

The shipment from USA (ROTK CR is a import) have a cost about $114 if it is deiivered in the faster way (by DHL or other like DHL) That's become something like $80 if there is a great number of copy sended.

there is that £0.5 = 1$

$114 = £57/82 € or $80 = 40£/57 €

The only expication is that amazon.de is less expensive than amazon.uk
because in germany it is sell 61€ (Comparing 57€ it's a good price)) and in UK it's £46 (comparing £40 it isn't a good price)

Each Amazon of every country is maybe able to pratice the commercial's politic they want to do.

amazon.fr don't sell the ROTK CR at all!!! FOTR CR an TTT CR is only available with Market Place.

does MM is selling CD's with Market place on Amazon ?

The translation of the form they have to fill for those who had reserved for this happening:

And another explanation for the bad commerce of amazon.uk: This invoice for the FOTR-CR!!

I don't know how the change between the GBP AND USD was at this time if he was the same as now they have lost £5* on each copy they sold. Maybe they are trying to regain the the moneys lost. (They could only to try me think: D)
