I'm sorry to hear that the UK releases are so far behind! And no Xena extras, when the US editions are stuffed full of 'em? Bah. (Not that I, lonely H:tLJ fan, am envious. Oh no. *eg*)
I've never even seen the H:tLJ sets in Dutch stores, mind, and I don't even know if there are European releases to begin with. I've bought my sets in the US, first off Ebay and then through Best Buy.
BTW, this may be old hat, but just in case: a lot of European-made DVD players are region 2, but can be made region-free by a certain code. I got the code and instructions (very basic, just 'press these five numbers on the remote', IIRC) when I bought my player at MediaMarkt. If you look up the make & model of your DVD player, you can check at sites like this one (http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks.php?select=Cyberhome+CH-DVD+300) to see if you can de-zone yours that way. This usually voids the warranty, but is not illegal (in the Netherlands, anyway.)
Disclaimer: if your DVD player spontaneously combusts, has kittens, or flies off to Neptune, I cannot be held responsible in any way. *g*
