Page 1 of has any one bought the wicker man wooden box edition from play.com??

i am thinking of buying it but it is £22 will i get taxed???

Theoretically you can get taxed for any overseas purchased. Customs got me about 3 times when I was buying a lot of CDs from overseas... its a risk you have to take..


Or you get it gift wrapped and posted as a gift to someone else... I know several people who do this..... gifts not being taxed!.

Nearly right - optical media that are marked as gifts can be taxed if they go over £36.

Retailers, if they are aware that the goods you are purchasing are gifts, have been known to enter this onto the customs sticker ;-)

Nearly right - if you think the other countries of the EU are not overseas.

I got it and didn`t get any tax problems, and it`s not bad either documentary is very good (but a bit short).

"Oh dear God. Jeeeesus Chrrrrist!"

if u get stung play will refund u -just make a nice call to them

I got it from play a while ago; didn`t get taxed.
Unfortunately Achor Bay have letterboxed both versions to 16:9 from a 4:3 source resulting in many scenes looking like the director doesn`t know how to frame a scene properly ;( For this reason alone I don`t rate the release that highly although the picture is about as good as can be expected given the circumstances.

Also it would have been nice if the scene where Willow visits Sgt Howie in his room the morning after "How Do" had been included in the Extended Version.
This is one of my top 10 films so I hope a better release turns up sometime soon (possibly R2?)
