Just out of curiosity, are there still people who buy HK Bootlegs from EBay?
It has been a long time since I last brought a Japanese import Tokusatsu DVD from YesAsia, and the problem is they are WAAAAY too expensive for what they are.
Kamen Rider Stronger for example..

What the FECK!! US$149.49 / £97.17 for Vollume 1 of Kamen Rider Stronger?
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Kamen Rider Stronger could be a good series (not that I'm that desperate to watch it) but this is crazy. Surely Kamen Rider Stronger isn't worth so much monney!!
I mean, we're paying nearly £100 to watch something that looks like THIS!!!

We have higher budget movies from Hollywood that cost so much less to buy on DVD. Heck you could even buy bloody Spiderman (Tobey McGuire) on VHS for 99p at a charity shop!!!
So yeah... do some of you still buy HK Bootlegs, or download from the internet and keep the files without caring to buy the DVDs?
