I am actually trying to get these 6 albums, but here in the US they are hard to come by, and if you do find them the price seems to be around $25 to $32 even when purchased on-line. That's double or triple the price of a regular CD here. I would like to be able to get all 6 albums shipped for under $100 US. If anyone can point me in the direction of how I can do that, I would appreciate it!!!

I think these guys sell the cds quite reasonable price and shipping fees. They ship overseas too. http://www.recordshopx.com/offer/ Though the currency rate between euros and dollars mite affect the price a bit.

Thanks Rick Deckard (I love that movie too by the way). They don't have all the albums there, but it appears to be cheaper for what they have.

CD Inzane, based in Minnesota has them all at $17.95.
(Shipping Charges - United States and U.S. Territories:
$2.99 for first item, $0.99 each additional item, up to 7 items. Otherwise Shipping is $10.99)
Comes in at slightly over $100 but I think you're going to find it hard to buy all six for less than that. I checked on Amazon and CD Universe and they're selling them from $27 to $32!! 
BTW, I love Record Shop X. They usually have everything and update their inventory often and they ship things fast. Unfortunately, with the dollar sucking ass right now that effects their prices. 14,90 EU for the remasters = $21.71  Still better than the other online shops.

Awesome man. This is the type of info I was hoping to come across. $17.95 is more in line with standard US CD prices, so this is the way I will go. I can't wait to get my hands on them.

I must say thanks also for the tip, Arien. I just received For the Glory of Nothing, Stigmata, and To Live Forever from CD Inzane. Not only reasonable prices, but pretty fast too!
Last night I had Tarot as my soundtrack to Hockey Night in Canada.  Much better than those homer announcers, I must say.

Too funny. I just got Spell of Iron, Follow Me Into Madness and To Live Again from CD Inzane. I had ordered all 6, but they were out of stock on those 3 that you got. They put a backorder on Stigmata and For The Glory of Nothing for me, but I was advised that To Live Forever is now completely sold out and out of print, so they won't have any other copies available. I was told by the owner of the story that each album was limited to 5,000 pieces!!! Glad I was able to get what I did when I did.
importcds.com is another good place to check.

By the way... The 3 albums I have so far (others are on the way!) all have the spine's on the CD's printed opposite of the way spines are normally printed. For instance, if you hold the CD spine facing you with the cover to your left and look at the spine, at the top of the spine is the name of the album and at the bottom of the spine is the band name. This is opposite of how spines are conventionally printed. Also, it appears that if you have the whole remasters collection the spine is supposted to form an image (like on the Iron Maiden and Judas Priest Remasters) if you place them in chronological order of release. Unfortunately because the spines are backwards you'd have to put the albums in the opposite of chronological order to form the image on the spine, but the spines would still be upside down and look different then the rest of the CD's on the shelf, lol. Not that I am complaining. I just wondered if anyone else noticed? I hope I'm not the only one who's are misprinted!!!

I hadn't noticed, but you're right - they are upside down! If you want them to look right on the shelf though, just put them in chronological order but upside down. Everything lines up that way and they look just like every other cd on your shelf...until you pull one out to play it and see the cover is upside down.
I'm glad I got To Live Forever then, if it's back out of print. I wonder if I got the last copies CD Inzane had of those albums. I'd apologize for snatching them out from under your nose....but I'm not sorry!

Yeah, you most likely did get one of the last copies they had, so congratulations! The owner of the store is the one that told me that the re-issue was a limited run of 5,000 per album. I have no way to verify that, other than taking his word for it. He told me he is still able to import limited copies of all the other albums, but they too are dwindling. But yeah, he said to Live forever is completely sold out so the only ones you will be able to find at this point are which ever few copies stores have lying about or you'll have to get them on ebay.
Well, I guess Zach and the boys will just have to hit the studio again now and deliver us a new Tarot album, since catalogue titles are almost always re-issued when an artist comes out with a new album!!!!

I'm thinking that probably won't happen for at least another year. Marco's booked up with Nightwish pretty much through 2009. So I'd guess new Tarot album in 2010? Hopefully. It'll probably still be out before Chinese Democracy.
At least we have the DVD to look forward to this year, eh?
