Happy Holidays everyone,

I was fooling around online and accidently went to amazon.com in Spain.

Kind of caught my attention because I saw a few releases that have to been released here in the U.S. They are all in English, they have subtitles, not sure if they can be turned off, looks as if the menus may not be in English. Here is a list of some of the releases and a link to one sample.

https://www.amazon.es/Holmes-Yoyo-In...ries-tv&sr=1-2

Holmes and YoYo - This was the only one that stated was not in English
Whiz Kids
Mrs. Columbo
Matt Helm
The Quest - Kurt Russell
Madigan
It Takes a Thief
Banacek
Battle of the Planets

I got a correspondence from the head of customer relations from the company Elephant Films,
producing and distributing the discs. He said they are still working at securing distribution rights for other rare shows. What he said:

1. First and most important. If you order from Amazon Spain or France is to translate the page and read all that is displayed. He said most if not all the series is there. However, there may be some episodes that were not available for some reason. I found that such a case was The Whiz Kids. I was about to order this set for myself. I may still, however: the set is missing episodes 15-18 and 3 other episodes are available only in French dubs with English subtitles. Another case was Matt Helm tv series. All the episodes are there, but one episode is French dub with English subtitles. So be careful there. All subtitles can be deactivated.
2. He liked the idea of multi-Language menus. However, for now only French Language.
3. Several other shows they have listed, that I do not believe are dvd releases in the U.S. were:
Gemini Man
Iron Horse
Sir Francis Drake
The Outcasts - Western
