ONly some independants.
Well, even the big media stores over here got cheap "masterplan" and other dvd's. Which is strange according to german copyright laws.. in the early 90's a lot of records stores where busted 'cause of bootleg selling!
These Masterplan DvDs are official in Brazil. That doensn't mean that the Masterplan Dvds are a official Queen product. Anyway it's just a legal loophole in Europe.
'Masterplan', yes. I know they are being sold in 'regular' shops, because they are some what slightly semi-official. They are from the grey area that mostly covers documentary's and sometimes live-recordings that were released semi-officially, like Queen in Japan 1985.
But the dvd's in the link above are ALL 100% bootlegs and 100% illegal. Nothing official nor semi-official about them! They CAN not be sold in 'regular' shops anywhere in the world because they are outside the distribution system for them. Orders for these go through private people and a 'normal' recordshop does never get any stock from private parties. The only way to buy them is from independant recordshops that dare take a risk and recordsfairs!

I've seen "Live in Europe" in regular shops. Also "Queen In Nuce" and many Masterplan releases
