This is happening with a couple of other releases. I pre-ordered Bird with the Crystal Plumage some time ago, but it shipped only yesterday. Bridge Too Far + Battle of Britain have yet to ship...
I thought pre-orders were shipped so that they arrive at your doorstep 'on or around release date'?

My email service is currently down - for those of you that received a shipping notice, does your online status still indicate PREORDER or has it transitioned to SHIPPED?

Thanks

mine still shows PREORDER

Mine says COMPLETE, item status when I click on the order says SHIPPED.

Got shipping notice today also.

Just got mine at the door, along with a few Blue Underground titles, a few samurai Criterion titles, a VCI title and thank christ...my newest Mondo Macabro title!! Bring on the vikings!

It's Christmas early.

Ah, mine is on the way from Lasersedge ETA Saturday

got my DDD shipping notice today. I hope to have it by the weekend. Can anyone that has it please post pics of the packaging? I want to see this "controversal" cover.

Well, I ordered Cannibal Holocaust yesterday (Tuesday, 10/25) from DDD and it was shipped today (10/26). I expect to have it on Friday or Saturday, in time for Halloween. That’s the good thing about living in Illinois, quick shipment from DDD – though of course I have to pay sales tax.

Bought my copy last night at Borders B&M - $24.99 on sale

Did anyone order from DVDEmpire? They are still showing "out of stock - On Order" and I never saw them as being "In Stock". I think the status went from being "pre-order" to "out-of-stock".

jeesh, my order with Amazon isn't getting shipped out til tomorrow - with (now pointless) rush delivery and a weekend trip I won't be able to watch this until Monday.

I had actually forgotten to preorder this, so I added this to next week's order back on Monday. According to my order status, my copy is being reserved for my order (it was listed as In Stock on Monday). Looks like I got one of the last in-stock copies.

Yes, I pre-ordered it months ago and it arrived this morning... I suspect that with the print run this will sell out pretty quickly.

I got #05982/11,111. Not a big fan of another damn digipak and this one is bound to crack and give at some point... It has a snapping lock shut system, don't think I've seen one quite like it. Other than the gripe about the case this looks like an amazing release... Can't wait to dig in.

Thanks, sounds like I better order one from somewhere else. I already have the EC dvd version and I really don't care enough about 3 seconds of extra footage to double-dip, but I'm a sucker for Limited Editions.

Same here....it's been a busy start-o-the-week and I'll be wrappin' my tongue around it in an hour or two.

A worthy triple-dip!

Guess I failed to pre-order mine early....got #09250/11,111.

So with this being so limited, I'm really questioning a blind buy. I remember seeing bootlegs of this at Wizard World when I was about 12 or 13 and being really curious, but sometimes I fear my days of horror love are over. When I bought Thriller, I was pretty disappointed having bought an exploitation film I would never want to watch again, and worry about the same thing happening again. When I bought Fulci's Zombi, I was too distracted by the horrible acting and typical Italian dubbing to even begin to appreciate the film. Can I even expect to like this, or should I just pass? I really don't think I'll have any problem with the film being graphic or gory, but wonder if the story and acting will be strong and intriguing enough that I'll ever want to watch this again after fulfilling my curiosity.

guess that number really has nothing to do...just that they spread the numbered editions all over, and well you had yours from a late batch..

Thats the saddest thing I've heard in a long, long while.

Pass. You'll hate it. Let someone who really wants it have it.

Yes, I know. I was not complaining. I'm used to the #er's game...I've been collecting for years.

hehe that's all good, I'm sure you knew, was just poiting out that you might actually scare people

My copy isnt't numbered, there just a blank space then it says /11,111?

You're obviously supposed to write 00001 in that spot.

thats nothing. I got mine tomorrow and it was #11,112/11,111. explain that.

You got your DVD tomorrow? Explain that

It's like someone just fell for the "how do you keep an idiot occupied?" trick.
