Yes they dont ship to the US.
You can probably get it via resellers.

Or maybe it will be available on ebay from some people.

I recomend the blu-ray series for anyone really into Magnum P.I. I recomend to wait for the German Blu Rays for everyone really into the show. Altough Mill Creek are using the newest 4K Remasters of the show they over compressed them. A lot of Grain is lost in compression so to speak and there are ...

How can this be 1080p. Did they edit the show on 35mm film and then telecine it later? Magnum was done like a movie back then. That means all the work was done on 35mm. And years later you can scan and restore it in High Resolution like movies. Most big Universal TV Shows were shot and edited on Fi...

I just added in my initial posting that the Release got postponed to June 30th.
Several Things are in the need of more fine tuning.
Im glad they are taking the additional time for it.

Does the "and English" mean one of the options will be the original English soundtrack?

Yes thats exactly what it means

I will.
Will be doing mouseover Image Comparisons with the UK Blu Ray and the US Blu Ray too.

Hi Magnum Maniacs ;) I think its important to know that in April 2025 a new Blu Ray Edition is coming from Plaion Pictures in Germany. EDIT 26th April 2025: The Release is postponed to June 30th because it needs additional work done. They also released Miami Vice and MacGyver and are known for their...

BTW: Here is a little Comparison between the Old HD Master (UK BD, Elephant Films) and the New 4K (from the US Blu Rays): https://slow.pics/c/rv36jElN The new 4K master is superior. Yes you can see the Compression issues on the US but besides that contrast/color are much more filmlike and the in-pic...

Good post, SwissMagnum. Please do share your review of the German version when it comes out. I will. I will open a new Topic for it. Will do image comparisons with the UK Blu Ray, Informations about the Feature Length Episodes and more. Im hoping for the definitive Magnum High Definition Collection...

This is one of the most funniest Episodes of the whole show for me. Especially because of the back Story with Tom the almost Indiana Jones :D I like how playful they did it. Everybody seems to have a lot of fun with it. Tom doing an Indy impression feels so right to see after all the "He was almost ...

My two cents about the Blu Ray Situation: The US Blu Ray from Mill Creek could have been a Homerun because they used then newly done 4K Remasters of the show from the original Prints. BUT Mill Creek did badly with the compression. Lots of digital problems and grain could be much better resolved with...

Very nice analysis. I would argue that season 2 was better than 3 or 4, and 1 was best simply because the pilot was so incredible and the lighthearted feel of the show was established there. I can absolutely see why you see it like that. For me i just like the formula they had with seasons 3 and 4....

New here from switzerland. Thought i could start with this thread :) Best Seasons for me are 3 and 4 because everything was working like a charm and well oiled machine. Close behind is Season 2. That was the season when the show found its strength but its not on the level of 3 and 4. After that come...
