I've never been hit with customs charges from play.com on boxes of Law and Order (sadly before the R2 was announced months later) or MST3K. Just lucky I guess.
Generally I buy R2 over R1 when possible; the exceptions are regarding extras or if the item isn't available over here.
I'm really tired of the whole region-coding thing and a lot of the properties not available in R2 (Rex the Runt -- hello it's British!) don't make sense. More importantly why can't a shop carry something that won't likely be available in R2 like Strangers With Candy? The banning of imports is ludicrous. Who gives a crap about hollywood's bottom line. People at my office get bootlegs of movies out in theatres without the whole import thing coming into question -- the MPAA just needs to deal with it. Get some more realistic pricing and suck it up on the piracy. Or throw in the towel and go bankrupt -- I really don't care which.
