Regarding Gruv, I'm still waiting on the other half of a shipment I made weeks ago (not BTTF) along with any response to 3 separate emails I've sent them.

My Hitchcocks came in a box and are creased to hell. The damage happened way before shipping.

Fingers crossed.

I wasn't seeing any action on the Target website. I found that 1 of 11 Walmart locations in my city has it in stock so I canceled my target order and ordered it from Walmart for in store pickup.

My Walmart pickup order isn't ready yet but it says it will be ready to pickup before 8pm so hopefully I can get my hands on a copy today!

[Show spoiler]
HDR Picture Mode: Cinema (user)
Backlight: 100
Contrast: 100
Brightness: 50
Sharpness: 10
Colour: 50
Tint: 0
Dynamic Colour: Off
Dynamic Tone Mapping: On
Super Resolution: Off
Colour Gamut: Auto
Colour Filter: Off
Gamma: 2.2 (this can't be changed)
White Balance/Colour Temperature: Warm 2
Noise Reduction: Off
MPEG Noise Reduction: Off
Black Level: Low
Real Cinema: On (this can't be changed)
Motion Eye Care: Off
Tru Motion: Off

The Blu settings are the same except for the following:

Picture Mode: Cinema (user)

Also here the Gamma and Real Cinema options can be changed.

I prefer having Dynamic Tone Mapping turned off. Everything else is good. Leave gamma at 2.2 and Real Cinema set to On.

Last night, I checked my Target order (that I preordered months ago), and it was still not showing as having shipped. Afterwards, I went ahead and placed an Amazon order, and received shipping confirmation from Amazon this morning. Cancelled my Target order.

I’m starting to get worried that Gruv isn’t going to ship mine at all.

Man alive is this Atmos track doing it's best to be faithful on BTF 1.

As for the HDR. Whoa! Check out that 4x by 4x.

What they need is a push though. I'm thinking this quote from Geoff's review:

If an error is discovered, Universal will offer a free replacement program for all owners of this set. Just send them your current copies, and they will send you versions of these discs that have these errors corrected.

For those that are interested, in France, their "time circuits" Amazon Exclusive Collector's Edition releases this week, and there is an unboxing video I've found. Looking forward to getting mine in December.

Right. But first, they need to acknowledge there is an error. So for what it's worth, I dropped them a message - see what they'll have to say.

Get the Zavvi steelbooks next week or wait another six weeks for this...

Do I need the tat?

Got my Amazon shipping notice earlier this morning. We have an Amazon hub here in San Diego so mine is being delivered by an Amazon driver. More often than not, I get my Amazon driver deliveries before 10am (I've even had them deliver before 6am). Fingers crossed that BTTF arrives early tomorrow so I can binge all 3 films in the afternoon!

Just received my Best Buy steelbook edition, came safley packaged and just checked out some scenes from Part 1 and wow, colors are gleaming better than the blu-ray trilogy. Definitley looking forward to watching these and this set just bumped up my 4K colection to 200. Nice

Ah the time circuit edition. The rarity of that set will of course be artificial due to it being limited.

I pre ordered it myself at the end of August and, now, they aren't taking orders. Not surprising.

I say we already have a glimpse into the future of Blu-ray media with titles like Bedazzled. Almost anything can and will command stupid prices. But these limited releases will be even more ridiculous

Simply put, the time to collect big is now. Get what you want and love.

Not me! I'm still waiting for mine!

[Egghaus]

I'm waiting with bated breath for my Hoverboard set from Amazon Canada, which hasn't shipped yet. I'm most excited for the Atmos upgrade honestly, I've always felt the final sequence with the lightning bolt and the clock tower was ripe for it. That part of the movie always has me on the edge of my seat no matter how many times I watch it.

[steel_breeze]

Got my delivery notification for tomorrow and can't wait. The original BACK TO THE FUTURE was in my personal "Top Ten Faves" list for a lonnnng time, and is certainly still hovering somewhere in my Top 25. I've got my cobbled-together UHD case all ready for the ONE AND ONLY disc I want out of this set -- complete with chopped-off art from the single-movie DVD release.



This is a 3-disc UHD case, so I'll store the 4K disc of the first movie only, along with the new BD of the first movie and a disc of extras. 1.21 gigawatts????
