Nice one Kothar :up: I'm sure you've just made a load of members on this site insanely jealous of that collection...me included! :P

I just also wanted to vouch for Francesco. In my one closed deal with him so far, he was very pleasant and enthusiastic and shipped the VCD securely and swiftly.
We're currently in the middle of another deal and the man has gone beyond the call of duty to look for a couple of titles for me so, Francesco, if you're reading this my friend, you have my full respect and gratitude! :cheers:

Eeeh.....thanks Kothar and Bibikoglu....thanks for yuor kind words....*I just tried to do my best with my little resources. It's nice to travel and work in this activity. Thanx to you I found a lot of unknown sides of Kuala Lumpur that no tourist will ever see...and I found also a little love in the indonesian area because of you :)

Sef....I sent the last parcel to you..unfortunately I couldn't find these two titles:

Tujuh wanita dalam tugas rahasia/7 women
http://www.indonesianfilmcenter.com/pages/...id=4d0b6a745e70

Bangkytnia si mata malaikat:
http://www.indonesianfilmcenter.com/search...i+Mata+Malaikat

The last copies ever I found were sold one month ago to some other friends in Italy and despite every research I couldn't find more...I went also to MVM/Music Valley but they have only the covers...they will reprint them once they receive a minimum request of 200 copies....and it will take years :D

I forgot to tell you that I sent the parcel...well, dont' worry...I'm not in a hurry for the payment...I stil have to calculate the total :D
But I enclosed a couple of bonus VCD just because I felt it was a nice idea....

But it's funny to go here and there and search titles...I made a lot of friends and I realized I spent 3 wonderful months in Malaysia in places where no tourist will ever go, in touch with local people, drinking jamu and eating nasi goreng with new friends...so it's me who must say "thank you" to you all....

In the future I am planning to buy some copyrights and print a bunch of indonesian movies on DVD, with english subititles and more language options, remastered and (hopefully) with trailers and bonus material

I am planning a 3-DVD box set with indonesian superheroes (Rama Superman Indonesia, Darna ajaib and Gundala Putra petir) with a lot of cool bonus including interactive bonus material with reproduction of comic books (with english translation of course)...let's see...I am going to Jakarta and see how to get in touch with the owners of copyrights. If things go well, I am planning also a Nyi Blorong box set and Pembalasan Rambu/The Intruder double DVD set....but it depends on how easy is to get copyrights....

Stay tuned as I am going to spend a month or two in Indonesia and maybe I can find more stuff...in any case keep sending me your wantlist: I would like to go to Cambodia and Thailand too, to find rare local VCD/DVD and maybe Philippines too...I am not in a hurry to go back to Italy. Not for the following 1 or 2 years at least :D
after two months in Indonesia (february and march) I think I will come back to Kuala Lumpur and settle down here, working on these DVD projects along with the boss of Dragon Jester (the company who made those chinese horror movies on DVD), a really super cool and good man who is giving me a total support and a wonderful friendship here....

so...thanx again and let's see if I can find more stuff for my beloved and great customers :)

You're welcome, mate (I didn't actually do anything). It seems you're having a whale of a time travelling and finding friends in those places. :cheers:

You hooked up with the Jester guy!! I've got quite a few of their releases. Good stuff (mostly). And some HK films that aren't on dvd anywhere else!

And your plans for a release sounds awesome!

Eh, you know how hard is to find those DVD on Jester nowadays....tey were printed in limited edition and they sold like bread because people here love horror movies....I managed to find some (in no more than 1 or 2 copies) but others are impossible to find nowadays. Also at the Dragon warehouse they don't have any more copy left...they sold the remaining stocks to supermarkets around 2-3 years ago....

as for the indonesian releases...we'll see...the boss at Dragon is helping me, in a few days I'm going to meet a representative of MVM/Music Valley and see how/where to find the owners of copyrights...and then see what happens...but it would be nice. Thinking to make a limited edition of 500 copies for each DVD/Box Set. The market isn't big and I think that 500 copies would be enough to meet the requests....in any case it's a project that I would like to release within this year...we'll see...

Maybe even 500 is too much. You don't wanna get burnt with 400 unsold copies piled up in your cupboard for years on end. I hear Fred Anderson hardly sold any of his KILLER ELEPHANTS dvd and has apparently closed the label (Attackafant) now. Don't let that happen to you. Make sure you don't print way too many copies and try and get as many distribution deals around the world as you can. Don't rely on only one shop.

Admittedly, I wouldn't have known about some of those titles if it wasn't for your review thread, so thank you! :cheers:
