All of them still work and are available when I just checked.

Weird..even when I use the search function none of those titles come up.

What are you seeing on the site? By chance did you order from a Warner Archive sale or at least visit the sale site? If so, it's likely the site is defaulting to a filtered view for Warner (or some other filter). Try deleting all of the cookies and data for that site and restart the browser. Another option is to try another browser that you haven't used for MovieZyng.

Ah that did it. Yah last time I used the site was during a Warner sale.

All showing now when I clear everything or go incognito

I never bought the DVDs of these since I think most are Full Screen and featureless.

The Mighty Ducks films have always been widescreen on DVD. It’s just that the first film was non-anamorphic as it recycled the laserdisc transfer. D2 & D3 looked far better.

20,000 LEAGUES for me. Also, SWISS FAMILY and TREASURE ISLAND. Oh well, I can dream!

I don't know how the random stock popping up on Amazon fits into all this, whether Amazon took up some additional overstock direct from Disney or if Allied Vaughn is indeed supplying them. But, none of the titles which sold out in the months before DMC closed are among what MZ, or Amazon, have stocked now (Parent Trap '61 is one I specifically remember still being available, as I was surprised having noticed PT '98 ran out much sooner). So until we hear something new or see signs otherwise from MZ/Allied Vaughn, Sony or Mill Creek, the likes of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Mighty Ducks, the Goofy Movies and so on are long gone.

Whenever you buy a MOD movie/show, it typically ships from Allied Vaughn/MovieZyng out of Aurora, IL and not from Amazon itself. I don't think Amazon having any of these is anything more than just AV/MZ selling through Amazon since not many people know about them and would be more likely to find them on Amazon.

That's good. I was always hoping for nicer additions not behind a movie club. I wish Disney treated their live action films, a lot quite successful, as they did their animated ones. You would think the Ducks streaming show would've brought some kind of collection out.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but if it says "ships from amazon" amazon has always fulfilled the order in our experience, including Sony, Universal, and Warner Archive MODs. Whether MZ has ever shipped WA titles to amazon first, I don't know, but I know some have arrived too fast for that to be likely. I have noticed some items that show "free delivery with prime" lately that are actually sold and shipped by a third party, so you have to pay attention as it's not actually shipped via prime, they've just worked a deal where only prime members get free shipping, but Parent Trap isn't one of them; it's sold and shipped by amazon. I'm sure you're right about finding much greater exposure through amazon than MZ. I've noticed that Kino's direct store seems to sell through their slip stock faster than amazon, but MZ doesn't seem to be nearly as aggressive with their promotions for more people to take notice. Even when they have a WA sale, the lack of sales tax has often been the sole factor in making their deal as good or better than WA deals elsewhere.

It's not just WA titles, anytime lately a MOD title has been bought from Amazon and shipped by Amazon, it ships directly from AV/MZ out of Aurora, IL instead of Amazon getting stock in their own warehouses and shipping it then. I bought Can't Hardly Wait from Amazon, a Sony MOD, and it shipped from AV/MZ out of Aurora, IL using an Amazon label. Somebody else bought something, I want to say it was Knuckles 4K (from Paramount), and their tracking info showed the same.

That's interesting. How lately are we talking about? I've had Sony and WA MODs delivered via prime on an amazon truck within the past month or so. Maybe it's a regional thing, like if there's no nearby warehouse with stock? I just ordered another Sony MOD today. It was due for delivery Friday, but I opted for Monday for an extra 1% rewards. We'll see where it comes from.

They would still come from an Amazon truck. The only difference is where the package is originating from.

None of our amazon-truck deliveries show a return address any longer. They just have our address, a barcode, and several QR codes. Sometimes they don't even have our address.

I've now got three MODs coming on Monday, two from Sony, one from Warner. I'll pay extra attention to the label(s).

Can't Hardly Wait was late August and Knuckles was mid September. I don't remember if the label itself had a return address, but when it ships, the tracking info would show if it's shipped out of Aurora, IL.

So, even though it's sold on Amazon by Amazon, MZ could be acting similar to a distributor and ships from them instead of Amazon receiving x amount of stock in their warehouses.

$20 for physical media in 2024/2025 is ridiculous. These things should be $9 or less.

As physical media becomes more and more niche, the prices are going to go up, not down.

And pretty much any yellow border Disney Movie Club exclusive title would likely be higher priced, anyway (despite the bare bones presentation), due to the fact that these titles never received widespread distribution. Any time I've seen these DMC exclusive Blu-rays being sold on ebay, they're usually double (or more) Disney's suggested retail price.

I’m so glad I bought all the exclusives as they came out. Definitely worth the investment now.

That's for sure. At $10 each near the end of DMC, I even picked up the movies I didn't like. I keep wondering why everyone on this site wouldn't buy all of them at $10, but I think the answer was some people didn't have an active DMC membership before they cut off new accounts.

Sadly there are still many old less popular Disney movies and made for TV (Wonderful World of Walt Disney or Color) which never made it to any form of physical media (AFAIK) and probably never will.

I still can't see anything beyond amazon on the tracking of the 3 MODs we received on Monday: 2 Sony MODs, 1 Warner MOD, 1 title from Vinegar Syndrome, and one Paramount Presents, all in the same box. Tracking only goes back to Concord, NC. It does show received from shipper the same day it was delivered, but in the past when I was actually able to trace it farther, "shipper" was always another amazon warehouse.

I don't know, maybe Amazon was trying to avoid backlog or something and was doing it for a short time. Maybe since yours had some wide releases they decided to ship them together, or they caught up and decided to start receiving them in their warehouses again.

Can't Hardly Wait definitely came from MZ out of Aurora, IL though. It didn't have an Amazon branded mailer, just a standard bubble mailer iirc, but I do remember it had an Amazon label. They shipped it with USPS so it showed where it originated from.
