Obviously this was pulled for some reason by FOX, FYE and Suncoast must be the only retailers to have recieved shipments from FOX for this and are selling what stock they have recieved from FOX for this title. So get them while they are being sold at those retailers! I went to over 12 stores looking for this on May 8th, even my local FYE which sold the only copy they had unfortunately for me, so finally I ordered on FYE's website.

Maybe them even getting it was a mistake and we should all grab it soon before it disappears. I don't really want to spend $17 on it but if this is the only shot we'll get it's worth it.

Well, I went ahead and ordered a copy from FYE, along with another movie to get over the free shipping threshold. We'll see what happens.
I did find a coupon code with a little Googling. WELCOMEMPTEN for 10% off. Only saves $1.70 but at least it will cancel out the tax.

Me too. Scared the crap out of me when it didn't mention anamorphic (just "Widescreen 2.35:1", reminding me of the dreaded early DVD releases) on the spec grid on the back, so I immediately threw it in to check. Anamorphic indeed and it looked fairly decent . Would've sucked if it wasn't, since I pretty much only got this for the anamorphic transfer.

Perhaps that could be why they pulled it, no mention of Anamorphic WS under the Widescreen label on the back cover. Pretty misleading. So maybe they are just reprinting them all for release later with the correct info on the back cover. Thanks for the scan matome!

Thanks guys I appreciate the scans. Last week I was in an FYE store and they had the version that Best Buy received within the past year. Which was the old one. I'm definitiely going to order online.

My order arrived, yesterday. Great release. I put it in, and watched about half of it, and the transfer looks wonderful! I'm so glad that I got in on this.
I noticed that it is now showing up as "Back Order" at FYE.com.

Yep, I have a feeling we lucked out at FYE, and they won't be getting these back in. I agree the disc is pretty nice! Glad to finally have a decent disc of this. I still laugh my ass off every time I see it.

I order mine from FYE.com on the 17th of May, and I just checked my order status, and it says "Part of your order has shipped" and then it gives a tracking #. Weird part is, Mrs. Doubtfire was the only thing that I bought, so I don't know how part of my order could've shipped, and when I click on the tracking number, it says "no info found".
I think it's safe to say, I'm probably not getting this...:-(

Great set...I really do wonder what happened with this, though.

I don't think they shipped through FedEx for me, because it brings me to the USPS tracking site.
