I got my copy today (not bad considering it was only sent Wednesday) but havent checked the discs yet but I am told that all discs are English as default so when you pop them in you get English Menus and English Audio :)

It doesn`t have Crusade but not a bad price at all.

The price is very good, but I`d be quite concerned about this attracting import duty/VAT when it`s delivered. It`ll be in a bulky package and of a high enough value to catch a customs official`s eye I`d have thought. Did anyone who ordered this get stung for import duty/VAT? As someone else said, a shame it doesn`t have Crusade with it (which the overpriced UK version of this set does) - which current also sells for an overpriced 30-odd quid at most online sites at the moment.

Still, with import duty/VAT and buying Crusade separately, you`d still come out over 50 quid ahead of the crazily-priced UK version.

The import duty will have been already paid by Amazon Germany. Remember if it is within the EU there should be no additional import duty or VAT.

Looks more better for value than the James Bond set I got for £63.00

Nice space for crusade aswell. Hope it`s as good to watch as DS9.

I once bought a disc in France which stated English language which was fine but there were forced subtitles in French (you couldn`t turn them off) you don`t have to endure German subtitles on these discs? ..... Or do you?

All the packaging is in German including the Collector`s Booklet I am afraid but there are no forced subtitles, all the menus are in english and because the set is coming from inside the EU customs isnt an issue.

Also, the space off to the right is for the hat so I doubt Crusade would fit in it.
