Yes it does. The only thing lacking is the Special Longer Version.

Oops, my bad.

I was thinking of the first 4-film set.

Same here. Still 21 available in the 12 Best Buy locations within 150 miles of me, which means they have sold zero in the past 24 hours.

I also thought it was interesting that Best Buy stores were showing similar stock of the II, III, IV, V, & VI standalones and the 6-movie collection (mostly 2 each, a few with 3), yet there doesn't seem to be any panic about those selling out. Curiously however, Best Buy is now showing the standalone TMPDE 4K as sold out.

Also Amazon is still showing the Complete Adventure in stock as of this moment, but I can't find a TMPDE 4K standalone listing there now.

5 were at my local Best Buy on Tuesday morning. By 11am they were gone.
3 were at the one second closest. They were gone by 2pm.
That's when I decided to in-store-pickup one from the third closest. They're now sold out there, too.
Two stores in a 20-mile radius have one left. If I want to get another, I have to drive to New York.

I also bought the last VI at my closest one.

Interesting that the one release they made an online order exclusive is the one that sold out.

I wonder if they thought making the CA a in-store only purchase would drive foot traffic into their stores?

One can only speculate if it were the other way around if the CA would be sold out at Best Buy by now. Hard to say with such a disparity in the price tag.


.....


With regard to Amazon: Amazon is providing the discount that drives the price down to $83.99. The item is actually being sold by i-Deals Store

On the CA listing there's two 4K options, one for $30.99 and one for $83.99 which is highlighted. If you click on the one for $30.99 it takes you to the listing for the 4K DE standalone release.

Got my copy today from Amazon.. It was originally saying the 14th, so that was a surprise.

I've looked right now and it's available for online orders from - Bull Moose, DeepDiscount, and Movies Unlimited.

Never heard of Bull Moose, but I just checked and they do not have it. Neither does DeepDiscount or Movies Unlimited.

Third party vendors are charging $41+ when I pre-ordered for less than $26 so... I am not going to pay all that extra $$$.

I cannot remember the last time I was unable to get a new release that I had pre-ordered. I would never have thought this would be possible with a major studio release.

You are most astute, AllOuttaBubbleGum! My kitty phaser is always locked on that particular level. In addition to our bonding over Star Trek, perhaps you will also be interested in the YouTube video linked below. Chico and I watch this video quite often and we never grow tired of it. I hope that you enjoy it. Keep on Trekking!

Oh no, Cat pics and Star Trek, two things that I love.

No, to answer the online exclusive question.
The Walmart near me had them on the shelf on Monday, a day early, and I had to show them the online $83.99 pricing to get it matched.
Other Walmart's in my area didn't get any of the Complete Collection sets, and if it's due to employee shortages and the individual 4k discs are sitting in the back room, who knows if they have any. Walmart doesn't seem to be in any hurry to stock or restock items. With the Complete Collection sitting on the shelf on Monday had me in shock.
Target... forget it. Target doesn't seem to take this part of retail too seriously and they haven't even had the Complete Collection on their website.
Best Buy is a puzzle. Ours had two, they sold out, then two more show up today, then sold out... this afternoon when I stopped in, one was in store. And all this time after the first two sold out, their website has stated not for delivery and sold out within 100 miles from me. Go figure.
Amazon has been another puzzle. They've had a lot of listings change in the last few days, and if you read anything after people complaining about deliveries, it gets even more confusing. At times, a third-party seller is selling them on Amazon. Later, it's Amazon selling them. Huh?
Good hunting, regardless of who you choose to confuse you.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're looking at, but bullmoose.com shows it in stock at all but one of their locations and is available for online order.

Deepdiscount.com and Moviesunlimited.com you have to search "star trek the motion picture" to have it come up; searching "complete adventure" won't do it.

Both of them still had it in stock and I was able to even up it in the cart.

I don't know how else to help you. It's seem to be clearly available for online ordering.

EDIT:

From the price, you quoted you seem to be referring to the regular 4K standalone release of the Director's Edition, not the Complete Adventure.

The Complete Adventure is the one that's actually supposed to be limited ('once it sells out it's gone forever' yadda-yadda-yadda)

The regular 4K release is showing currently unavailable/out of stock on the sites I mentioned. But that release isn't limited, it may be temporarily out stock but it's not "sold out" in the sense of not being available again.

I understand wanting it NOW, but yeah there's no reason to pay an inflated price for it. If you order it from someplace Bull Moose they will get it to you in the near future when their stock is replenished.

I'm just going to wait it out. My Amazon order still shows an ETA of September 14th. I am reasonably confident that I will get it thereabouts.

The nearest Best Buy store to me is about 50 miles away. I am not motivated enough to make the trip.

[Jar Jar Stinks]

I don't understand how they can call the German set "The Complete Adventure" and then omit its biggest selling point, the SLV. People who pre-ordered the German set are gonna be pissed when they find out. What's the reasoning behind omitting it? Is it a rights issue?

[THXWow]

Just to confirm since there is a question - my (Amazon replacement) copy from DeepDiscount actually shipped today so they do have them.

[David McMinn]

Sorry, to but in but i tried a find a blu-ray forum for this and was led here. I ordered the STTMPDE blu-ray and was looking forward to it and opened the package up today only to receive a copy from Amazon USA of Star Trek V with the Star Trek I label slapped on the back. Will be returning to Amazon hopefully for the correct copy. I have never had this happen. Please double check your copies.

[SamusKusanagi]

Currently sold out at Target, too.

This is a pretty popular release; I regret not preordering it.
