Mine was dispatched about an hour ago so fingers crossed yours is too

Eureka have "Inherit the Wind" marked down from 14.99 to 10.99 on their store. I'm not sure if it's some sort of mis-price, suppose to be apart of an upcoming "flash sale"-type offer (but somehow has the price activated already), or it's possible that it might be going OOP and they're trying to sell whatever stock they might have left. "Yanks" has also been listed as discontinued. It seems that they're letting most of their 2018 MGM licenses go OOP.

Picked up Inherit the Wind for 3.99 from SimplyHe back in February, a decent little bargain.

In other news, I think Yes, Madam is shipping from Eureka - had a dispatch email for my order containing that and Caligari 4K.

Well, that's weird. Are there a bunch of zombie copies of "Caligari" stumbling around the Eureka warehouse?

If anyone learns the answer, please post.

They were licenced through Fox, that's why, and are now controlled by Amazon, no more up for licencing than the monstrous MausHaus....

It’s more like dropping slow/mediocre sellers. The Fox logo was more of an “in name” only type situation. All MGM deals done during when Fox handled MGM’s home video output were directly with MGM.

Walkers1 means it’s about to be sent. Mine was like that for a day and then sent, so I imagine it means being picked and packed.

MidnightMovies · 12-01-2022, 01:16 PM

Is Caligari the oldest film to be released on 4K? I ordered mine last night because I don't want to miss that great packaging and it got a stellar review, but it has to be the oldest film on the format as of now?

trobrianders · 12-01-2022, 01:29 PM

Amazon
Caligari
New estimated delivery date:
December 12, 2022

I believe so, yes. In proper 4K anyway.

Frankenstein (1910) was an extra on Arrow's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but I believe that stems from a 2K restoration.

Logged into my Eureka store account today to order Caligari 4K and Yes Madam - and noticed something called "Store Credits" listed in my account. It's at £0 currently and I can't find anything in the FAQs etc about them - has this always been there or is it a potentially new reward point scheme from Eureka?

This made me curious so I checked as well. My account shows no credit currently so this must be something new as I've placed 8 orders so far this year.

It has been there for quite some time; I assumed it’s for giftcards or something like that, because it’s not related to orders you placed.

Nosfertau · 12-02-2022, 08:32 AM

Do you think Eureka might release any of the Buster films on UHD?
Not sure if there is enough demand, but would be nice to see a box set.

The Coconut God · 12-02-2022, 09:27 AM

Twilight's Last Gleaming was hiked up to £15.99 on Eureka's site.

Just like The Thief of Bagdad, it has a note saying "In stock" under the price, which other items don't seem to have. It could be a field made visible in preparation for when it turns false, and therefore a sign that both titles are on their way to becoming OOP.

justwannaboogie · 12-06-2022, 12:30 PM

Caligari 4K still showing as a week away from delivery via Amazon. Bit pointless pre-ordering.

MillyD · 12-06-2022, 12:44 PM

The pre-ordering is a bit mad on amazon. I am uk based, and found that if cancelled order and re-ordered it would be dispatched quicker. Only did that for when the price hadn't changed.

I ordered it this morning. Coming tomorrow. Madness.

rapta · 12-06-2022, 01:10 PM

I think it's a combination of Christmas busyness and Royal Mail struggles meaning Amazon are having to use their own logistic company more (especially for small packages like Blu-rays) or probably even outsource (new logistics companies are popping up all over the place).

I pre-ordered the The Cat and the Canary/The Ghost Breakers, and it hasn't even been dispatched yet (now saying it'll arrive on Friday). Not that bothered, but Amazon aren't reliable for pre-orders and haven't been for years. Occasionally I get them the day before release date, but that's not that often and I usually get it the week of release and in some cases the week after.
