Zavvi released those last year in the UK. I'll wait this time as I ended up double dipping then

Has anyone got or knows about the Paramount Home Entertainment Japan versions of FOTRE or El Cid? Are the transfers any different?

It did cross my mind that it was a projected image. Thanks for the info and did get the Rimini Vikings set recently.
