I know about those extra charges on shipping, only one of my current laserdisc collection is PAL format because it came with the player (Die Hard 2 widescreen) and the other 30 or so are NTSC format I bought from US eBay sellers because they're not available on DVD, international airmail isn't cheap

but all the discs but 1 arrived in perfect condition, the "but 1" arrived with one of the sides cracked in half because the seller did a poor job of packing.

Anyway back to sort-of on topic, I received an email from the German eBay seller a couple of hours ago saying the bank transfer completed already and he shipped the THX set! woohoo! I thought I'd be waiting 10+ days for the bank transfer & posting time, seems like I'll be receiving them very soon
