When you hit track package,the green bar under Ordered is very near the Shipped line from the checked marked Ordered but not quite there yet.And above it says,"Arriving February 9 which I mentioned in this thread about two days ago.

If I'm lucky,it arrives before that but I've been prepared for a 2/8-2/9 arrival from the start.

I ordered around the same time (no Prime), and have the same 2/8-2/9 arrival but I am like

right now.

There’s one on eBay selling for $75, so jump on it while you can

USPS dropped off Amazon order of the Ultimate set. Came in a over size box with just crumpled paper. Has one dented corner but overall pretty good condition

As usual it is someone selling only the digital codes.

Codes only. Scummy seller.

So if I'm correct - I'm not the only one to whom Amazon hasn't even provided estimated delivery date? No movement at all.

When I contacted them, they said that they had received first batch from manufacturer, but couldn't cover all the pre-orders so shipped starting from the first pre-orders. And that there's supposed to be more on the way...

I pre-ordered January 2nd... don't know how to feel about this situation.

I am hoping this is true! I also ordered on January 2nd and was supposed to have mine delivered today (according to Amazon's estimate) but the order now has no delivery estimate and is in limbo.

I am not sure that Prime vs. Non-Prime has any bearing here as I am a Prime member and am in limbo.

Ditto, but mine shipped. Weird.

I just jumped on it when I saw how low the price was after I got the 20% manually taken off and I figured it wouldn't be that low again for everything included.

No one should be paying $300 for this set, there should've been more than enough pre-orders and release date sales to cover Ghostbusters fans who missed the initial pre-order period.

Sony should realize there's more than enough demand to allow for an additional run of these sets. Or they could make a similar set without the ghost trap packaging. I'd pay $100 for the 4K discs and bonus features in this set, just inside a regular outer box like the Karate Kid Collection.

No Prime for me as well.What makes the wait easier for me is that this will probably be arriving alongside several other releases I have coming out next week.Catwoman:Hunted steelbook,Stargirl Season 2 and Summer School.

Just popped in the first film. As expected, it’s VERY similar to the standalone 4K disc. Definitely closer to that than the Mi4K BD. I already sold off my old disc, so I can’t directly compare the two. I also force DV on my E6, so any comparison I did do might be a bit off anyway, but it does look nice. The overcooked highlights could be tamed slightly, but this is still a very bright grade, like the previous disc was. The original audio mix is definitely OG audio and not a downmix. Louis is now a bit difficult to hear over the theme song at the end of the film, just as I remember it sounding on VHS (the Atmos mix had his lines completely clear, which to me was offputting having grown up with the original mix).

Especially when Vudu is selling the set for $34.99.

J999 · 02-01-2022, 06:06 PM

Still waiting on mine to be shipped on Amazon.ca.. pre-ordered on the 27th. Says preparing to ship.... Says Arriving February 10, but I find it usually ends up arriving a few days earlier.

Snicket · 02-01-2022, 06:08 PM

Well it looks like I’m just gonna wait for a re issue at some point. Would not mind if they do a rerelease in a smaller box.

lildemon666 · 02-01-2022, 06:20 PM

So I locked in a preorder but my card got fraud on it and was awaiting new payment. I held off hoping BB would have it in stock. No luck so I updated the card and now hope Amazon still has my set ready to ship.

I know. All my pre-orders sit in “shipping now” status until the morning of release day. They always update as out for delivery early that morning. Mind you, I pretty much always get my Amazon pre-orders on release day, but it always makes me a tad jealous of those who get their orders a few days early haha. It’s likely because I live so close to the warehouse that they wait to ship them out. That being said, it still hasn’t yet been delivered. It’ll be here by the evening is my guess.

Officially out for delivery from Amazon. Awaiting to see what condition the condition will be in.

GuruAskew · 02-01-2022, 07:05 PM

I managed to snag a copy on Target last night in the 2 minutes or whatever when it was available. Just in case my Amazon copy was damaged.

It’s a good thing I did. My Amazon copy was shipped in a bag and the box is torn.

redxrebellion · 02-01-2022, 07:29 PM

Received my copy from Amazon in the thin white bag. Surprisingly enough it was just fine, no dents or damage. Really nice set. My son and I had fun unboxing it. This is going to look awesome on the shelf.
