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...)

I think Warner mis-judged how popular the LE would be and so they're rushing to fufill the orders.

indiansbsa 10-09-04 08:27 PM

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...

Amazon still has a temp charge on my debit card from Thursday of last week, until they say otherwise I'm going to just stay optimistic :)

Raxel 10-09-04 08:54 PM

It's cancelled in Canada, because Warner doesn't hold the rights on books.

havent heard anything yet

I think the LE is a ripoff when I can get the regular 2 disc for $15.99. Who wants to spend $35.99 to get a soundtrack and a book? It should have been $24.99.

Maybe the price will drop just like schindlers list did.

It was possible to get for under $24 if you were able to use the $20 Amazon coupon posted in the bargain forum a week ago.

I didn't notice that, but thanks anyway. I just got the 2 disc from target.

I just saw it last night in Target so they are around.. it was $34.99 there.

eau 10-11-04 02:58 AM

Yeah. Saw it at Target too. It didn't make sense to pay $19 more for a book and a OST CD. I am hoping for a price drop later.

Adrenaline 10-11-04 12:54 PM

Well Amazon shipped my order this morning, so maybe they got a whole bunch in this weekend.

Ditto. This is my favorite movie ever, but I could care less about buying into this gimmik, for a book and a C.D. Come up with something more creative which adds value to the movie itself, then will talk LE.

Has everyone gotten theirs? I preordered on amazon and it shows as estimated arrival of Oct 12-16 which has passed...and they havnt shipped it yet...they will be getting mroe right?

eau 10-19-04 10:48 PM

Saw a crapload of the LE at BestBuy. I think it's $34.99.

I got mine last Friday, the delivery estimate was November something until it finally shipped.

My order just got cancelled today from amazon. Had it pre-ordered for a while too..guess I'll have to check out bestbuy and use my mcd bucks.

xfilekr 11-05-04 09:13 AM

Mine got cancelled too....bummer

darmok 11-05-04 10:08 AM

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.

Laser Movies 11-05-04 12:10 PM

Also had my Amazon order cancelled. I'll probably go with the 2 disc edition when CH has it for an enrollment.

PopcornTreeCt 11-05-04 01:51 PM

My Amazon order got cancelled. Bastards.

It appears Best Buy still has the Limited Edition available.
