Thought this would be a good idea considering some of us are a bit iffy about ordering US-only release stuff over the internet. There is an option - Import stores. I figured it would be a good idea to have a topic here in which Al fans in Australia could point out locations of various import shops around Australia, thereby making our Al-shopping a little easier. I'm hoping that we'll all be able to help this list to grow over time, as it is beginning with only one store.

Minotaur Entertainment
121 Elizabeth Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
Phone: 9670 5414
Fax: 9670 7670
Website: http://www.minotaur.com.au
Details: Minotaur has excellent service instore, and almost always have a copy of the UHF DVD (Region 1) in stock. Failing that, they will be happy to order a copy in for you. They will also ship to anywhere throughout Australia.

That's it for now. If you know of other places that stock imported Weird Al stuff, be sure to add its details to this topic! Happy purchasing! :D

Don't forget, if you have the right credit card, you can order through WOWAY's Amazon link. ;)

And if you can, you should, unless of course Amazon would cost you WAY more than anywhere else.

Well, I don't know how much it would cost, but imports done via Amazon must be cleared informally or formally with customs. So I might try and get UHF from Minotaur.

$42.90?

Holy crap! I'm not paying that for a miserable lump of plastic!

Anyone else know of Australian Import stores?

All i know is i had to pay $51.00 to get UHF. Well spent money of course but i should have been able to get a better value. I think i went to every store in adelaide and i could barely find any al stuff. Apparently everything is deleted.
