Dredd (Blu-ray SteelBook) [Japan]
- Thread starter domalorite
- Start date
Mine worked out at about £50.00 with import duty from HMV Japan.
Took about five days to reach the UK and was then held up in customs for a couple, while I paid the £20.00 duty.
Very well packaged by HMV Japan and arrived in perfect condition.
No complaints really apart from the Nasty UK tax man taking a big bite!

So about £30 including postage originally and then the £20 import duty on top?
Ok cool thanks for the info
Is it worth the price??
In my opinion, it's a beauty and definitely worth the money.
The film's awesome too!
I love the film, I'm actually watching it right now, and it got me to thinking of upgrading my amaray version.
Will definitely think about getting it in steelbook.

Nice one!
I'd say go for it!
Pretty sure you won't be disappointed!

I got incredibly lucky, arrived on my doorstep one day from the postman along with V for Vendetta... NO customs fee. no idea why, wish i knew so could do it again!!! was gona sell the V to pay for the customs fee but now think i may keep it. anyone got any idea why customs let me have it free?
I have heard of a few slipping through.
Maybe a bunch of Japanese Dredd steels came through customs at the same time and those lovely people at HM Customs thought they'd flex their might!
Keep an eye out. I thought I had escaped the customs fee once but they sent me a letter 3 months later for unpaid fees. Good luck though
That's good, does it have a better 2D transfer than the UK version do you know? As the UK one had both 2 and 3D on one disc.
It's the same 2D transfer as the French edition. The scene with horrible compression as mama is walking down a corridor with one of her accomplices looks a hell of a lot better, still ugly but a lot better than the UK disc. I honestly think it's all to do with the red one camera and the way it was shot. I've since gotten over it over multiple viewings as it lasts for seconds. I would say this and the French edition are the best video quality worldwide.
They didn't use the RED on all scenes. Dod Mantle had a special handheld 3D rig with 2 X SI-2K cameras which had lower resolution and dynamic range.
Great one, buddy!
