Amazon does Strange things sometime.

Will Best Buy even be open during this pandemic? Probably not.

The stores are open with drive up curbside buying only. As of today they don’t allow customers in the store.

Milage will vary for minty fresh slipcovers right?!

For now. Who knows what will happen by next Tuesday.

The first bonus feature listed. It says listen to interviews with the cast and crew of A New Hope.

My bet is it's a typo

I’m hoping the pandemic leads to significantly lower sales and Disney is forced to do a price drop or a buy 2 get 1 free or something to move the stock. I only want Episodes III through VII plus Rogue One on 4K (already have VIII)

So is the available to preorder anywhere? It makes no sense that I can preorder all the 4k films being released next week individually but not Empire.

So I did some research and here's what I found:

Best Buy has all the Star Wars 4Ks listed but not available for preorder.

Amazon has most of the Star wars 4Ks listed for preorder (except The Empire Strikes Back).

Walmart has The Empire Strikes Back 4K up for preorder but it is $45 and it does not have A New Hope 4K.

So basically this is one big clusterf***.

Bull Moose has Empire as well as all the other 4K discs available for preorder. $29.97 each and no tax could end up saving you a bit if you are ordering all of them.

No. They stopped shipping to my country because of the virus. I sent them a message that maybe they might be able to add that to the other pre orders, I'll wait for their response but I'm not hopeful. I might try and find it on eBay when it's released if I don't have a choice.

Same for me- I ordered the original trilogy and both New Hope and Jedi are coming by Apr. 7th. I'll take it, though given the circumstances.

Seems all non-essential shipments on Amazon.ca have been delayed to April 20 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I was trying to see if there was a preorder for the Empire UHD on Amazon.ca and I noticed everything has a delivery date 4 weeks out. They've already shut down the Canadian border, so it was only a matter of time. I'm hoping my pre-order of April Fool's Day still ships (according to Amazon it's still due for delivery tomorrow but who knows) but it makes sense that they're doing this, given the circumstances. One thing I did notice, however, is that they're no longer using those cheap plastic bubble mailers. I had a blu-ray delivered over the weekend and it came in a cardboard box with padding inside. It's a first for Amazon, for sure lol.

At least this saves me money for the time being. My wallet's gonna hate me though when these places start shipping again.

Thanks! I always forget about Bull Moose. However, where is Attack of the Clones? Maybe they're trying to save us from ourselves?
