Member ShawAngela Posted February 9, 2014 Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 I don't know if it's the taiseng version, but you can find a subbed version here : http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Sword-Dragon-English-Subtitle/dp/B00ATGDOBW The price is very high... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member the sentimental swordsman Posted February 9, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 I thanked you but I had already seen this ad, this is not the tai seng boxset and amazon is wrong because there are no English subtitles on the DVD box.

Member ShawAngela Posted February 9, 2014 Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 This one on minthan is from the 80's and is with Tony Leung Chiu Wai, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think it's the one Sentimental swordsman is after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted February 9, 2014 Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 I wonder if you'll find it...I saw a lot of sites where you can download it with English subtitles, but it seems difficult to find it to purchase on sites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member hkpyanfar Posted February 14, 2014 Member Share Posted February 14, 2014 Tai Seng TV series seem to go out of print quick. I did a google for the set and found this listing on Five Star Laser: http://www.fivestarlaser.com/movies/20661.html?mv_arg=heaven%20sword%20and%20dragon%20sabre%20(english%20subtitled) I haven't bought from them for a long time, but it might be worth a try. The price is right! I too have lusted for this series, so I might give them a call today to see if in fact they have it in stock or can get hold of a copy. I'll race you YesAsia lists it as out of print. So young, yet another rare is born.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think others on here have said to avoid Five Star Laser but me personally I've never ordered from them so at this point, take the chance!

Member the sentimental swordsman Posted February 14, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 14, 2014 thank you but I do not buy anything at fivestarlaser, I placed an order earlier this year, no response from them after several message from me, I am waiting for refund after a past dispute with paypal. One has the impression that the site is dead, abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member hkpyanfar Posted February 14, 2014 Member Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just as well that 5 star laser is on your blacklist; I called and HSDS is out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member the sentimental swordsman Posted February 15, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 15, 2014 thank you hkpyanfar , it's a shame for fivestarlaser, they lose a lot of customers by not responding to messages and not keeping update their stock on internet.

Member hkpyanfar Posted February 15, 2014 Member Share Posted February 15, 2014 5 StarLaser was ok way back when. I used to order a lot IVL VCDs from them when we were getting a flood of Shaw Bros releases. They could be slow, but I never had problems that required refund. For TV series I usually go to YesAsia or Amazon. I did find some OOP series (Chinese Paladin) on Amazon from the new-used/reseller links. For HSDS, I'd suggest checking the link regularly to see if a copy pops up. It seems like most Tai Seng TV series have a short in-print life. When you see it, you need to get it. Waiting for the price to come down can be deadly. At least they are available. There was a time when it was impossible to find English subbed tv series for sale. The good old days weren't always so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the chronology on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_the_Condor_Heroes_(2006_TV_series) But it gives me some hope. If they reissued ROTCH, then maybe they'll do HSDS too.

Member Betty Pei Ti Posted February 25, 2014 Member Share Posted February 25, 2014 @Sorry, the sentimental swordsman, I can't tell you exactly where my friend bought this series, maybe on yesasia several years ago. But if you ask me choosing between Heaven sword and dragon sabre 2009 and The Return of the Condor Heroes 2006, I would definitely purchase the latter one although Liu Yifei is in it. Both main male characters are convincing with other words - that's Yang Guo and that's certainly Wuji! He isn't handsome but good natured, helpful, naive and simple minded. Problem is that there are several unimportant scenes with should have been shortened and you sit and wait with your remote controll in your hand asking yourself when the show finally goes on. The other problem is this bad computer animation - so artificial! Concerning the story in general - the producers should have concentrated themselves more on the two weapons. But the war between the clans on the other hand was very well done. Another disadvantage over ROCH 2006 is that the relationships between the caracters and the caracters themself weren't sufficiently developed. So the whole series is a little bit superficial. I would definitly pity Yang Guo and his evil fate more than Wuji! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member the sentimental swordsman Posted April 2, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 2, 2014 I finally managed to find the tai seng box "heaven sword and dragon saber 2009," on amazon, 100 euros with postage, expensive but unfortunately almost impossible to find so very expensive.
