The Amazing Impossible-To-Find DVD!

I have checked dozens of DVD web sites and local stores, and no one has the Short Circuit Special Edition DVD in stock. Most of the websites have it listed but show it as being on back order. I've had an order placed on dvdplanet.com for almost three weeks waiting for it, and they still don't have any. Ironically, I had no trouble at all getting the second movie.

Does anyone have any idea where I can find this oddly elusive DVD?

No idea.

It would be great in the future if, when asking these questions, you put the title you were looking for in the topic, instead of "tricking" people into reading your thread.

Well it's better than, "Help, I can't find my weewee."

Or the ever popular, "Psss, come here, I'm naked."

You might want to hold off. There is a new release rumored to come out this year.

I wasn't trying to "trick" anyone. Sorry

I checked the pricegrabber, no luck. Everyone is out of stock.

I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that it's helpful if you put the title in the topic (although at least your topic was witty).

dvdpricesearch also turned up nothing. Lot's of sites have it listed, but none have it in stock :/

And where's this rumor about a new release of it? I'm curious

The reason it is hard to find is that it is out-of-print. Announced as discontinued by Image sometime last month.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll give up looking for this one until the new release is available. In the mean time I found a really sweet deal on Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Vista Series on Deep Discount DVD. I ordered it for $17.84 and free shipping

That price search thing at the top of the page is great

I found a copy of Short Circuit today at Circuit City for $19.99. I thought it was too expensive so I didn't pick it up. I didn't realize it was out of print.

Is Short Circuit still going to be re-released later this year? If so I will hold off buying it at that price.

Yup, in August I think. It's just a re-issue of the same DVD though.
