"Delivery Boys"..still waiting
I've been wanting and waiting for the 1984 comedy "Delivery Boys" for years - especially since it was announced to through Amazon last year!
Unfortunately, it wasn't. Originally released by New World/Pegasas, it wound up through Lakeshore/Spyglass, but I can't find any info on why it didn't come out on disc.
I fortunately found a VHS tape which I have tried to transfer (for my own use, of course) but I'd rather have a better copy.

Anyone in the UK have it?

Wanna sell at a reasonable price?

Sorry, I never sell anything. But you can get it really cheap from Amazon.co.uk

I assume "all regions" means it will play OK here.

I'm not sure either. $6-$7 maybe. All region means it will play, but the TV system in Europe is different so it's encoded for PAL. All TVs in Europe accept both PAL and NTSC, but it seems only front projectors in the US accept PAL, and some DVD players are able to convert.
