My friend ordered this from amazon.co.jp and he had no problems getting it shipped to Canada.

I was looking at the prices last night over at amazon.co.jp. They were selling each disc individually and not as a boxset. Didn't seem cheap.

How much did he pay for shipping?

He said he can't recall about shipping but the whole deal cost $150 + $10 duty.

Very tempting. I love to have this on HD DVD. Even before HD DVD was launched this title was listed.

Not sure why it's been delayed on this side of the pond.
