Soylent Green 2003 SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE?

Question, what going on with the Soilent Green Snapper Case from WB? It seems all of a sudden it went to TOTALLY HARD TO GET?

Try Checking most e-tailers and most stores...

Soylent Green Snapper = NOT Available / Backorder?

I saw that amazon had it for $7.99 a few days ago. I believe this went out of print. Don't go crazy as the Warner disc is still available in other countries cheaply

People are probably buying it up because Heston died, and it's one of his more notable mainstream films.

Do you specifically want the snap-case version? WB just released a new version of it in an amaray case sometime before I am Legend came out in theaters as it was released to promote it, even came with a free ticket to see I am Legend. That one should be easier to find.

That IS interesting....DVD Price search only has two sellers coming up listing the movie. That IS odd for a film that should be in print.

DVD Planet says its temporarily Sold Out....

The 2003 version has been OOP since the DVD was re-released with a new cover and in a keepcase. But as others have said, Heston's death has made this film popular again.

I picked it up for real cheap in DD's last sale.

Didn't know there was a new version out.

I wouldn't worry about not getting it. There will probably be a box set(s) coming out in the near future. Maybe an Epics Set, a Sci-Fi Set and maybe even a Memorial issue set maybe.

Yup I sold mine a few weeks ago for almost $30 on Amazon. Figured it would go the way of Omega Man and hit the HD treatment eventually.

Soylent Green

For some reason, I really didn't enjoy that movie. Not sure why. As for other CH (that's Charleton Heston - not Columbia House!) titles, I have "The Greatest Show On Earth", "Planet Of The Apes" and "Ben Hur."

These and other memorabilia will also be hard to find - if not already.

James foresee some sort of an epic set (but I highly doubt as.. Soylent green is under WB and Planet of the Apes is from Fox)

.. And besides FOX already made one with its..


Planet of the Apes (Including Charlton Heston's Version) Ape Head Set


Hmm will this also be high on demand?

Why would anyone buy the snapper release when the same disc is available in a keepcase?

Because he would rather have it in a snapper than not at all. Plus through CH it only cost him like 5 bucks.

Wrong answer!

I was asking Xage why he said "Good to know you got the snapper one!".

Xage didn't say "Good to know you got any copy of it, even in a crappy snapper." Had he, your answer might have been correct.
