    Just ordered.. might be a mis-price, might not!

    Worth a shot.. amazing price considering I saw this in my local Zavvi before it closed down for about €90. It's currently €72 at Play.com.

    First Blood (Dir. Ted Kotcheff) (1982): He never fought a battle he couldn't win: except the conflict raging within his own soul. Academy Award winner Sylvester Stallone stars as war hero John Rambo. An ex-Green Beret haunted by memories of Vietnam, he was once the perfect killing machine. Now he's searching for peace, but finds instead an over-zealous, small-town sheriff who's spoiling for a fight. All hell breaks loose when an unjustly imprisoned Rambo escapes and becomes the target of a massive manhunt. Now he must use his cunning, combat skills, and weapons training to stay alive and outwit his pursuers. Co-starring Brian Dennehy and Richard Crenna, First Blood is an explosive action-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, powerful frame.

    Rambo II (Dir. George P. Cosmatos) (1985): He's back! Superstar Sylvester Stallone is John Rambo, the ultimate action hero, in this explosive Oscar-nominated sequel to First Blood that boasts a riveting screenplay by Stallone and James Cameron (Titanic).

    Although the Vietnam War is officially over, Rambo remains the perfect fighting machine. But his survival skills are tested with a vengeance on a top-secret mission that takes him back to the jungles of Vietnam in search of American POW's. For when Rambo is double-crossed, this "expendable" hero, armed with just his bow, arrows and knife, must defeat savage enemies equipped with deadly firepower.

    Rambo III (Dir. Peter MacDonald) (1988): The battle rages on as superstar Sylvester Stallone detonates the third and most explosive in the action-packed Rambo trilogy.

    Combat has taken its toll on John Rambo (Stallone), but he has finally begun to find inner peace inside a monastery - until his friend and mentor Col. Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna) shows up to ask for his help on a top-secret mission to Afghanistan.

    A war-weary Rambo declines, but when Trautman is captured, Rambo erupts into a one-man firestorm to rescue his former commanding officer and decimate the enemy. It's an intense, pulse-pounding adventure that boasts unrelenting action and suspense from start to finish!

    Rambo (Dir. Sylvester Stallone) (2008): In this latest chapter Rambo has withdrawn away from his dangerous life to a simple and secluded existance in Thailand where he spends his time chauffering locals up the river in his old PT boat. Despite trying his best to avoid trouble he is recruited by missionaries who are travelling up river to help the oppressed local people against the brutal rule of the murderous Burmese military. After witnessing a sadistic raid by Major Pa Tee Tint in which many locals are tortured and murdered the missionaries plead with Rambo to help their cause of liberating the survivors. Unable to stay behind he joins with them in what may be his deadliest mission ever.

    I've been trying to tell people this ever since it came out. It's a masterpiece of nihilistic philosophy. In 20 years they'll be writing Phd theses on it.

    If anyone else has Internet Banking, could they check what was reserved on their credit card when they bought it?

    Odds are it's not on your statement but it should be reflected on your balance. Odd thing is the amount reserved on my credit card is only €15.28. Might change though!

    It's not the end of the world bill:D If you are a true Rambo fanatic but can do without the boxset case and other add on disks, you can have them all on BR for a shade over £40. Not near OPs bargain but still well below the current boxset price on the site;)

    I wonder for miss prices like this will the honour it rather than piss people off who wont order from them in the near future? I can see this happening more often to drum up orders


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,899 ✭✭✭grimm2005


    damn, i would've loved this. Thanks anyway OP, nice find


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    Transaction finally confirmed on my card at €22.55

    Looks like it is going to be honoured. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,194 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Mine still hasn't appeared on my statement but the amount reserved (which I've paid) indicates they've charged me wrong at about €15 - not complaining if they do though. Should appear on my statement later today!

    Let's just hope they send us the Blu-ray version of the title.. see what happened Darko and Mizu_Ger when they ordered a copy of 'The Savages' on Blu-ray from SendIt here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,194 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Bah, transaction has came through on my statement now: €22.35!

    Not complaining at that price anyways!

    Nope.. one person over at HUKD forums has reported recieving it:
    Mine came today... very nice!

    Must say its a bargain. 4 discs in a cardboard gatefold type box and some blurb.

    Excellent news.

    How long do they normally take to deliver to Ireland?

    Normally 4 - 5 working days..

    Seeing that it was put on sale a second time after this, I highly doubt it!

    In other news, BlahDVD also honoured this!
