Shawshank LE OOP/Recalled?
The Canada pull notwithstanding, maybe the LE has been discontinued/recalled because Amazon is not just out of stock but as a special order item.
I had bought a copy and received it today but since the first disc came loose from the spindle I placed an order for a replacement and instead I got an email with a $10 gift code and an apology that the title couldn't be re-ordered at this time...
I can swap this disc out somewhere else if need be with the regular version but this seems Very fishy...
Might want to grab this set while you can- could be a rare collectible! (odds of this are like really low but until we know whats going on over there...)

That could be a reasonable possibility but when Scarface ran out Amazon didnt say "unavailable from supplier" virtually overnight, they changed availability to 4-6 weeks or something like that. I mean, they're basically saying if at all it will take b/w 1 to 2 months or more to get any more in by saying "special order" and Scarface didnt even dry up that quickly...

my pre-order got canned also. worse thing was passing up the b&m first week sale prices because i had it pre-ordered, only to have it severely delayed until finally cancelled. i'm pissed as hell and won't be doing pre-orders on LE items with them again.
