I didnt quite phrase that right. I do realize that there are legitimate imports that are cheap sometimes, but on that one dvd it just came across as suspicious to me that a U.S. seller had the import for so cheap when the R1 disc demands such a high price. It just seems to me that if a seller has a legit import for sale that it wouldnt be that much less pricewise, unless the seller doesnt realize the popularity of what they are selling. But I know there are a lot of honest sellers on Amazon with quality imports and I didnt mean it is always bootleg, but just to be really careful that you are getting what it is you are after.

As far as the Amazon edit, I had a whole sentence deleted when the review appeared, so I highly doubt it was an automatic delete. But in my opinion I think Amazon would do that because they still get a percentage of that sellers earnings whether that merchant is selling fakes or not. I figure they cut it because it could potentially hurt their piece of that sale.

Well, that's kind of appalling, if that's what happened. It undermines the whole point. I'd email. But that's me... I email. 8)

I'd just like to mention, in case you didn't see it. In my thread: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... php?t=3947, Chapters.ca (Canadian bookstore giant) is selling official Tin copies of Mickey Mouse in Black and White and Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studios. Check out the thread for the link's and more info.
