Wikipedia is your best friend. :DD
Empire-destroying beauties of old (English) NEW

Where to Buy

(I can't find the Mainland Chinese versions online any more, or maybe my Google-fu is subpar today. There are some vendors hawking the Malaysian version but at they prices they're going for I really don't recommend them if you're fussy about video quality. Quite a lot of compression artifacts and colour bleeding.)

YesAsia - English-subbed US release - the subs are apparently not very good
YesAsia - Simplified Chinese-subbed US release
