Are there any? Theres HMV (http://www.hmv.co.jp) and CDJapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp) for Japanese stuff. Yesasia (http://www.yesasia.com) for asian stuff in general, but does anyone know any Korean stores that are also in english?

I'm looking more for a local store, rather then import.

It's in California, if being in the States is what you'd define a local store.

With local i ment Korea. Buying from a store from other side of the world, that imports from another side of the world is rather pointless ;)

Though that store did have few good DVD's that ive been searching.

Is there something special you are looking for, because international shipping often costs as much as the actual product or more, regardless of where you are getting it from (possiblt except for Mexico/Canada).

I do know there are some stores that are willing to ship to US, albeit a heavy price, or you can try the local Koreantown if there's one nearby. Ooooh, Chinatown/Japanese stores MAY carry some stuff, depending on what it is. Lastly, if you can read/understand Korean, there shouldn't be much problem, but if you don't yer screwed.

I live in Finland (north europe) :p I dont understand Korean. What i'm looking for is an pretty "big" store, that sells a lot of diffrent stuff, "amazon" type of store. I'm looking for mainly DVD's and some posters etc.

The reason why i dont buy from here, is that the distributors here make the finnish subtitles from the english subtitles (in asian DVD's). Double translation = crap. The reason why i dont buy from UK/US, is that if the DVD is just released, its faster to get from the country where it was released (usually). Though i do buy a lot from those countrys too, its a case by case thing, depending on distributors etc where i buy. But i also want some other "fan" stuff. Guess i should have explaned more in the first post :rolleyes:
