I secured him a copy with other members because maybe we, I dont know, appreciate film lovers over collectors. People have been waiting yearrrrrs for this, and it was cool hooking a dude up who will appreciate this set front to back up and down and not just have another trophy for their shelf to try and impress girls they will never kiss.

I don't think anyone collects for that reason. Most Blu-ray collectors are collectors because they're film lovers (myself included). I blind bought it because I've wanted to see the film on Blu-ray for years, and I want to see both versions. Not to flip it for profit. I'd call those people scalpers instead of collectors.

I hooked up tommy with some free movie money and will be on the look out for more deals for everyone plus will be paying them back.

No problem

Anyone know the number range for LIMITED EDITION copies through Amazon?

Yep. I could relate, and I like to think that people will always want to help others even if the issue seems trivial to some.

I imagine Shout are the only ones who have that info, since they sold the first 1000 exclusively of the LE I suspect the amazon batch will be somewhere between that and 5000.

I certainly don't think anyone is expecting to be paid back, it wasn't a loan, but a gift

[tommynorcal]

Yeah dont even sweat it brotha, the movie money is cool as hell but dont worry about payback. Just enjoy your set.

I've just listened to the podcast on http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2014/...cream-factory/ which features an interview with Cliff MacMillan from Scream Factory, who worked on this edition of Nightbreed. He says that limiting the number of copies to 5,000 was required by Warner Bros when they licenced to Shout Factory the rights to release the theatrical version of Nightbreed (the theatrical version is only present on the limited edition). He said Shout Factory would have liked to release more than 5,000 copies but that Warner didn't agree, maybe because they wanted to release the theatrical cut by themselves later on.

He also said that the theatrical cut would get a brand-new HD tansfer, and that the director's cut will be made from pristine new material which has just been discovered in Warner Bros./Morgan Creek vaults, which means that the director's cut won't be taken from VHS source, as the "Cabal cut" was.

What I wonder is why the people at Shout Factory hasn't included the bonus Blu-ray on the regular edition (which will have only the Director's cut on DVD and Blu-ray). I understand that they can only release 5,000 copies of the theatrical cut, so they could have made a Limited Edition with 3 Blu-rays and a regular edition with 2 Blu-rays, one with the director's cut and the other with special features.

It was to late for me to order the Limited Edition from Amazon.com (I wouldn't have thought I would go "sold out" so quickly) but I managed to pre-order one copy on DVDpacific, I hope they will be able to get enough copies when it's released. I live in France, so, it's not that easy to get a copy.

Yeah most likely, Thanks!

I think its like a an incentive for people to buy the limited edtion, just like the Halloween box has more fetures on the complete box set.

The LE ends up being $100 with shipping to Canada from the Shout! site, so I think I'll do without.

Save some money on shipping. You're already in Canada...Amazon.ca

[KILLERAVENS]

It looks like Shout sold out

[Brent L.]

Yep, all gone at Shout. I doubt they'll add anymore either since it seems so final there this time.

Where can people still go now? It is sold out at Shout, Amazon, and Diabolik.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Has Amazon.ca ever had any issues fulfilling pre-orders? Just wondering because I was being curious and I was able to add 999 copies to my cart. Haha.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Wow Shout is sold out already?

I forget what it was, but yeah, I've had them screw up because of that before. Maybe it was the Hyrule Historia Limited Edition book? I know it has happened there. They often don't limit copies sold and oversell just like B&N and other sites like that. Any site that is now left to order from should be considered a last minute long shot in terms of a guarantee to actually receive one.

I think Best Buy MAY be safe since they actually have it set to a limit of 3, but who knows with that. I'm not sure on that one.

I would go with Amazon.ca now if I was trying to get one. Second pick would be Best Buy.

Yeah, I figure out that, but given the fact that the limited edition is almost "sold out" a few days after it's been avalaible for pre-order and three months before the official release, there's no need at all for an incentive. In fact, many people will have to buy the regular edition because the limited is unavalaible. That's why I think Shout Factory should have put the extra disc also on the regular edition. The Limited Edition is limited only because of the agreement with Warner Bros regarding the theatrical cut.
