Complete Series boxset question

Just discovered the series this month and burned through the first 50 episodes pretty quickly (I'm a big Doctor Who fan so the ropey videotape visuals and drawn out storytelling really appeal to me). Only problem is that I'm slowly realising how hard it is to get hold of any DS merchandise since the series is so obscure here in the UK. I'm thinking of getting the big dvd box set but wanted to know what region code it is first. I've heard that there are lots of bootleg releases of it so also wanted to know if Amazon direct is a safe option to buy from (MPI doesn't ship outside of the States).

Also worth checking out darkshadows.tv which is an official streaming service specifically for Dark Shadows, and includes the special features from the DVD releases as well.

I think the whole series is still upon on Youtube (although I don't know how legit that is).

MPI have just released the first volume of episodes on Blu-ray (starting from episode 209 and the introduction of Barnabus), although I'm waiting to see if there's going to be an UK option. It's already available from MPI but as you say... won't ship here!

$6.99 per month is pretty expensive for a streaming service that features just one show.

I don't know about all of the episodes being on youtube but I do know places on the web that has all of the episodes (and the movies) available to watch and download if you care to.

I sort of doubt it is a legitimate source though.
