The current ones sell for prices between £12.99-£20.00, probably will be the £12.99 end more than anything.
I'm a bit gutted to be honest, I've already got most on that list as well, ah well best not buy the rest, I was planning on getting the Movie & Spearhead from Space next, I'll wait.
EDIT: The Talons Of Weng Chiang was excellent, loved the little Sherlock Holmes references & the story was great, perhaps my favourite of the classic series. Some of the language was bit out dated but it was 1977 after all.
BTW Timelash is out in a couple of weeks, is that one any good?
Also was in Woolworths just now, Robot was number 2 in the charts with Series 3 Part 1 number 3 in the charts, perhaps that unneccessary cardboard isn't needed afterall

Isn't the only difference that there's a commentary track on the US release? Depending on your preference this may or may not outweigh the loss of picture quality caused by the PAL->NTSC conversion.
I'd stick with the R2 DVD.

That and the I think the theme as one of the extras is at the right speed on the US version. And the sleeve notes contained in the British version are can actually be read on the DVD of the US version.

Watched a couple more over the last few days:
The Caves of Androzani was a great, if odd story at times and Peter Davison is great in this, I really didn't want his version of the Doctor end, shame that they never did give him a fourth series but better to end on a high I suppose that become stale. This story IMO made Peter Davison the last great Doctor of the classic series.
Horror Of Fang Rock was superb, Tom Baker is excellent in the story and the ending, is great also with a little twist near the end, glad that Lord Palmerdale got his comeuppance in the end as well the irritating sod
. I also thought Louise Jameson was great as Leela in it as well especially when she taunts the dying Rutan & when she thinks she's "blind" as well as when she slaps Adelaide round the face to stop her screaming . A great suspense story.
Looking through the back catalogue of current releases so far and it seems that only Romana MkI & Melanie (Bonnie Langford) are to yet see one of their adventures get a release on DVD, excluding the William Hartnell era of course. Am I right in that assumption?
Also what adventure would people like to see release soon? I personally want to see Revenge of The Cybermen if only for the uniquely camp & head shooting Cybermen that were in this adventure

I think it's been mentioned somewhere that when Peter was filming his last series that he was enjoying it more and thought his stories were getting better, but he couldn't change his mind because the new Doctor was cast.

That's right, shame they didn't do the "11th hour" thing like they did with Louise Jameson & Mary Tamm, where the producers kept asking them if they wanted to stay on as Leela & Romana right up till their final show, but then again it was a different production team. Had it had been the original perhaps they may have persuaded Peter Davison to stay and history would have been different (and better) but there you are

Re-watched
The Caves of Androzani
with commentary and there were a few things pointed out that I didn't realise, one of them when Peri falls down the cliff & you can see her bounce back up in the background
Also liked when Peter Davison said on the commentary when he was regenerating "...just when you couldn't think it would get any worse... you turn into Colin Baker!"
The Invasion is turning out to be a great episode so far, Cosgrove Hall did some excellent animation, wish they would re animate some of the other missing episodes as well

BS
Episode 4 of "The Tenth Planet" has surely GOT to be the absolute top candidate for the Cosgrove Hall treatment!
