Hunting Down These 3/4 (3D/Softimage) DVDs. Can Anyone Help?

[DY357LX]

I've just picked up the "3D Content Creation with Softimage XSI" DVD from Amazon.com (search for B000K4XA5S in the Amazon.com search bar) but being a UK customer means the prices get doubled (and more) when you factor in currency conversion and shipped rates.

I want to pick up 3 more to aid in my learning:
Character Design + Integration ( ASIN B000K7UIQY )
Custom Props + Animation ( ASIN B000OZ0O2K )
Advanced Character Animation ( ASIN B000OVLA1I )

but the prices are far too high to get them shipped to the UK and I simply can't find anywhere else selling them.

Is anyone aware of a site where I can buy and download them? (I realize this is unlikely as they're probably around 4gig each.)
Or have any ideas how I can go about getting them?
(I've emailed the NOESIS Interactive people but heard nothing yet.)

Finally, does anyone the disc that came with 3D World Mag #53 (also about Half-Life 2 character creation from the people at 3D Buzz) they want to loan/sell me?

Thanks for the help.

Side-note: I realize these DVD's are 5+ years old but I love messing around in Softimage, it's all I know (3D-program-wise) and I want to get better at creating things.
