I just received a delay notification on this one from target. It looks like it has only been pushed back a week or so though.

Still showing 4.28.20 release date on Amazon:

Nope, it's gonzo on Amazon now.

I ordered it from Bullmoose who has been the most reliable for me - it hasn't shipped. "My Girl 2" did, but not this one.

I got the same notice (also got it for My Girl). Totally understandable given everything happening in the world right now and at least it's not too big of a delay.

Actually, this probably doesn't have anything to do with COVID-19. These delays happen all the time w/these older, little niche Blu-ray releases. Honestly, I would've been more surprised if it would've came out when it was scheduled.

Fair point! Regardless of the reason, I'll continue to make my way through my to-be-watched pile until this arrives.

I got another order update from Target telling me Radio Flyer is backordered and that I should now expect it by 5/15.

My order also was labeled back ordered but had no date available

I had an original Radio Flyer wagon when I was a a child, ions ago.
They were built like tanks, still have it (still in great condition) in our utility room, I will pass on to my children (if I ever have any).
Well made toys were built to last!

My Target order for this now says "Cancelled" and "Technical Issue".

I've approved the new arrival date twice (it automatically cancels an order if it asks and you don't), so mine currently says "backordered" at the moment.

[TwinCitiesBluFan]

Well, despite being certain that I approved the new delivery date from Target, I got a cancellation email for Radio Flyer overnight. Did this happen to anyone else?? I managed to catch someone on Target.com chat and was told the order was cancelled because the title is sold out. Ugh!

[craigbarr2003]

Mine still says backordered.

[HorrorBlu]

Mine still says Backordered as well, but I've had to go in and click "Approve Delay" a few times.

Well damn, that stinks. I hope this isn't the start of everyone's orders getting cancelled, but it certainly doesn't seem like a great sign.

Any updates?
Getting a sinking feeling in my stomach that this special movie is doomed to remain stuck in standard def forever. This film deserves better. Fingers crossed for this supposed Blu. Don't wanna give up hope yet.

Don't worry, it's going to happen. It's just distribution issues. It happens all the time with these niche titles. Check out "The Spanish Prisoner" thread on here. That thing was delayed last year five months from it's original distribution date. I'm sure there are some COVID-19 variables applicable here, but I think it's more the distributor not having all their ducks in a row by the announced release date as usual. These titles do not move a lot of inventory so there's no big rush to get them out to the "masses" as soon as possible so they get stuck in some administrative hell causing delays.

I had one as well. When my daughter was 2 (in 2015) I told my parents that if they wanted to get her a wagon (which they had been talking about) to make sure they got the all metal one like I had, and not the cheap plastic things they also make now. Her's, like mine when I was a kid, is currently sitting in the garage filled with basketballs, footballs and other outdoor activity items but still looks fantastic despite being wheeled around with junk thrown in it as they really are mini tanks.
