Tim,
I have the Berlin Bruckner set with Karajan and the San Fran. Hindemith with Blomstedt. You are right these are definetly must have recordings. The Berlin Bruckner stuff is almost unmatched by anyone. Wish I could help you find them but, I live in Japan and there some stores here with great classical sections. Just a thought, you might want to try BMG music. They seem to have a good selection as well and they are online. Also one other thing, if you can try to get a copy of Prokofiev 5th with Berlin and Karajan, it is indeed another must have. Almost anything with Berlin and Karajan on the Deutsche Grammophon label recorded in the 70's seems to be just about outstanding in my experience. Others may disagree.
Good Luck in your search,
Pete
