Are those daggers real or plastic? That is a fantastic looking box.

The daggers are for real, no plastic.
You can get the set here:
http://www.joyo.com/product/movie.as...E6%C2%F1%B7%FC (cheaper than layoyo but the shop has only a Chinese interface)
or
http://www.layoyo.com.hk/cgi-bin/nco...AGE=1&curr=USD

The Cowboy Bebop Boxset is from Korea and should be still available in most Korean onlineshops.

You know, this will be my 3rd time buying THOFD. It's so shiny, it calls to me. I must have it.

Could someone here please help walk me through ordering that THOFD set from the cheaper of the two sites?
What all is included in the set? Does it have English subtitles for everything?

The set includes the wooden box, the dagger, the movie disc, 2 bonus DVDs, 1 OST CD. The photobook includes information about cast and crew (in Chinese) and holds all 4 discs. Decent English subtitles are only available for the main feature, the bonus features don't have English subs.

Ordered HOFD box so tks for the tip. I was surprised at how cheap it was, shipping actually costs more than the box. 2 disc Edko, R1 and now this, oh well... Is there room in that box to fit all my HOFD DVD's?

Couldn't resist THOFD box set either! I ordered from http://stores.moviesville.com/Items/1501612?
Cost is $29.99US, shipping is $3.99. They claim you won't have any duty or customs charges. It'll be Interesting if it pans out that way.
Also, there are 3 available discount codes:
1. Coupon code: 5OFFANYORD (5% OFF ANY ORDER)
2. Coupon code: 10MOVIESVI ($10 CASH BACK FOR ORDERS $99 OR BIGGER)
3. Coupon code: 25MOVIESVI ($25 CASH BACK FOR ORDERS $199 OR BIGGER)
I also got a $0.50 off e-mail discount? Not sure why. It just showed up during checkout.
Never heard of this place before, but it sounds like a good deal!

If I can get this w/o the hefty shipping charges I'll pick it up and just have 2 THOFD on my shelf.

Is the "wooden" Flying Daggers box really wood, or is it flimsy cardboard like some other "wooden" box sets from mainland China?
I was going to order from Layoyo, but the shipping cost more than doubles the price. It might be worth the risk of trying that Moviesville place, though I've never heard of them and am a little suspicous.
