My friend also used Pay Pal and correction he said he ordered on Friday night not Thursday. So it makes you wonder, they must not fill the orders as they are received. In fact that brings into question just how they do fill the orders.

I really hope we get a sale next month!

Even if they have a sale next month, Chato's Land is unlikely to be a part of it. When they've had their March sales in each of the past two years, nothing after the previous December's releases were included. I don't imagine it would be any different for a hypothetical sale in April.

Hmm...I emailed SA yesterday actually asking if I could order something else and just have it tacked on to the order to save on shipping.

They replied earlier today saying they'd be able to cancel the order and have me reorder if I paid with a CC card (which obviously wouldn't be the way to go since reordering an OOP title would be impossible), but they couldn't do it because I paid with PayPal.

The plot thickens...

Paid by PayPal and ordered a single copy. Nothing else.

Thanks TT! It's unfortunate to hear there is no truth to this rumor as I'd be ecstatic if it were true. However, it's annoying too that a fan would list false info.

Well, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has just announced that they're going to be releasing the 4K restoration of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH as a Digibook UHD Blu-ray in 2018.

No, I'm just kidding, but nothing would surprise me. There may also be other region BD releases of the 4K remaster, just as there was a BD release of the previous transfer in Australia. With more than seven billion people on this planet, I can't imagine that just eight thousand copies is enough.

I'm stunned that Journey to the Center of the Earth took as long as it did to sell out. It's one of the most excellent scans out there. I'm not sure what people were waiting for but I hope you all got a copy.

I think it indicates that TT knows what it's doing better than the cynics give it credit for. If they'd done a 3000 run as they did with the previous transfer, the new one would have sold-out sooner and perhaps left too many uhappy if not pissed off.

...I just got a shipping notice. Based on what we know, I have to deduce that it's because I paired it with another item...

I'm sure a substantial percentage of the buyers weren't waiting for anything, and just didn't hear about it until months after it came out. On movie (NOT blu-ray) forums I frequent, I regularly have to inform people of SAE when they complain about there not being a blu-ray of some movie or another that TT has released...they often see the ludicrously priced aftermarket Amazon seller things, or just assume they're bootlegs if they're only on seller accounts, and don't think legit editions exist. SAE is just completely off most people's radars.

I'm sure TT doesn't care at all if it takes a while to sell out if they never had to discount it. Seems to me it would be exactly as big of a success for them if they sold all 5000 at full price in a year as it would have been if they sold them all in a day, minus the burden of trying to ship them all in a few days.

So what your saying is that they took preference for you because you were spending more money? What day did you place the original order because if it was after late Friday afternoon there is a real problem and one that just might want to be addressed by TT or SAE. If they are not filling orders in the order they are received there could be some potential major issues. If they want to really take a big bite out of scalping they will limit them to one per customer once the number hits 50.

So you ordered Sunday, right? And you got one?
I order Saturday morning and get cancelled. Sweet. Great work SAE.
Wonderful system in place there...

klauswhereareyou · 03-30-2016, 05:39 PM

My guess is they skipped the anniversary sale this year because they had two last year, and the last one was not that long ago.

The last one was by SAE, not TT from what I remember.

Okay, but that's who has been doing the sales right??? And I'd assume they have to get some kind of blessing from TT to do it.

My friend ordered Friday at 5pm and canceled. I can't stand SAE and after the biggest movie shipping debacle in the past known to man I am surprised TT has stuck with them.

...and here we go again with this noise...

It's simple. If you can't stand them...don't order from them. But b**ching and moaning every other page isn't going to change anything one way or the other.

What was that?? I've ordered a ton from them, and other the when you pre-order something there appears to be no rhyme or reason when they send it out in comparison to others, I haven't had a problem.
