Kung Fu Series 1,2 Carradine, Region 4: Why so expensive

[Ext User(Pete Rivers)]

Rocked into JB Hi Fi today and noticed series 1 was $67 ... checking
around, for region 4, that's pretty much ballpark price. Apparently,
last month it was on special at JBs for 15.98!! Bugger. Even on ebay
they are selling for 21.95 plus postage. Region 1s are about this
price.

Anyone know where I can pick this up for about $15?

Failing that, is there some way of playing region 1 DVDs in a standard
DVD? Some conversion kit or work around?

JB HiFi Have been doing that for a while. I picked up Seasons 1 & 2
for $15.98 a few months ago.

BTW, there is no R4 version of Kung Fu Season 3 (Only R1).

You need a region-free dvd player (most are) with the ability to
handle PAL/NTSC.

At the moment, Amazon US is currently selling Kung Fu Seasons 1-3 for
US$15.99 each (approx A$17) which is a pretty good deal.
