Can;t remember if it stayed preparing for shipping hte whole time, but the longest I had a B2G1 hang around was close to 3 months

Seems most of the problems are with boutique labels and more obscure titles, right?

I know its no release date delivery, but I just got Krampus today and No Time to Die shipped out yesterday for me. I received Venom LTBC the day after release. The only cancellation I've had so far is Ticks 4k, but I'm not really upset about that. We'll see if I ever get Toolbox Murders or Blood for Dracula

Received December 9; pre-ordered from Amazon.


PS: Mint Slip.

[Midnight Rambler]

OMG, it shipped today.

Maybe Santa is going to have a little pink with his cookies afterall.

Floyd, that is.

FWIW: I pre-ordered this too via B2G1, and my delivery date was pushed back. Haven't received an "Extend" email yet. Ironically, they say I won't get it until 12/28 at the latest:




There's a 99% chance I know how this will ultimately end...

Any guesses on next B2G1?

Second week of February usually has one. Not sure if they do one after Christmas.

There was one the third week of January 2020, but not 2021.

[IndyMLVC]

Someone posted a great list of when they happened the last few years and I can't find the post anymore.

[hariseldon]

Updated -- check the week starting Jan 16 2022 and especially Feb 13, 2022
I kept hoping there would be another 1 days Christmas Deal for RedCard folks, but looks unlikely at this point

I pre-ordered this title from DeepDiscount looks like this titles release date was backed up Release Date: 1/25/2022.

So those estimates are way off.

Amazon's reporting that date as well. I'm in the same boat as you, troykan--I ordered my copy from DeepDiscount back in October, when the delivery date was supposed to be November.

*sigh*

[VictoryAtNight]

I used my b-day 5% coupon on The Suicide Squad (Blu-ray) since it was already on sale for $15.

[biggquis]

Shockingly, I received my copy of No Time to Die today . My copy of The Last Duel should be arriving today as well.

On a side note, I took the advice in this thread and logged in with my Target app. I had two movies (Blood for Dracula and Toolbox Murders) that asked me to approve a delay that were not showing up on the website

[ninawatches]

Had to approve Jack Frost 2 for delay (Jan. 4th), but part one finally shipped out.

[jkoffman]

I've had to approve Dracula: Dead And Loving It (Blu-ray)(2021) 3 times now, once each week.

[popegregAKAgoblin23]

Just got my 4th “need to approve delay” email for Invasion of The Body Snatchers 4K. Now says “Backordered - Estimated Wed, Nov 12 to Thu, Jan 6.

Getting frustrated now as Amazon has it for $21.74, very close to the Target B2G1 price and it would freaking arrive tomorrow.

I’ve got plenty else to watch so I approved again. Bet it will be out of stock and/or more expensive on Amazon when Target finally cancels.

If it's close enough, I'd just pick it up from Amazon. I've had multiple approvals for the Wood Allen set, but I'm willing to wait because the price difference is significant compared to Amazon. I did receive my No Time to Die 4K today, plus Roger Rabbit 4K and Karate Kid I–III 4K, so those will keep me pre-occupied. Also, French Dispatch has been dispatched , so I should have that next week.

It's worth noting that Target has been using those brown padded envelopes instead of two pieces of cardboard glued together (and a box for the Karate Kid set), and they've all arrived in perfect condition.
