What about this place?

If, by chance, your trip to Monument Valley occurs before the arrival of my copy of "Yellow Ribbon",
would it be possible for me to House-Sit?
I come with references and promise not to use anything but the Home Theater and Fridge.

Best Buy has a Back-Order going with projected dates for late July. Ouch.

Amazon still hasn't shipped my copy of this or They were Expendable or any of the discs I ordered from them that have been available for over a week now: Tarzan animated; Something Big; Airport Collection. Amazon's order processing has become extremely slow the past month. I wonder if they have had some cutbacks recently.

After canceling my Amazon order and ordering from B&N, I received my copy on Wednesday.

Amazon are clearly doing something wrong. I didn't buy from them and my discs of She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and They Were Expendable have arrived.

Can't wait to hear how they both look.

Thanks for steering us away from further delays.
Going to B&N - and fast.
Let us know how they both look.

B&N isn't even offering this title online, except via two third party sellers.

It looks like Warner and/or the retailer failed to see how much demand this BD Release would garner from the general public. Somebody should have known this would be a popular selection especially around Father's Day.

Well, you can order it here for only $15.97...

This is where I got my copy. They are at the moment sold out of it but it is going to be back in stock and they have it on order (just like most other retailers). Speaking with them I was told Warner did only ship small quantities of this disc (they said they only received two copies for release day and then two more copies a week later, all of which went to customers that had pre-ordered) so every retailer including Amazon only got a few of these...which is why so many people are still waiting for their copy to arrive.

Well PHYSICAL MEDIA IS DEAD ... why would anyone want to have a copy of an old movie on bluray !

Perhaps, the purchasing agents for the retailers need to take some blame here as somebody that just retired as a material acquisition manager, those agents are responsible for placing the right amount of orders to Warner. Warner just doesn't send a 100 copies to any retailer, there has to be orders from that specific retailer. Just remember, when you're talking to retailers, it's always convenient to blame the supply chain for not having stock.

Yep, in the movie exhibition business, you damn well better have enough popcorn seed, coke syrup, coconut oil, and paper products for that new Disney animated film or there would be hell to pay. If you didn't, you only got a one time pass.

I agree with you, Robert, but in this instance I think for whatever reason there were not many copies of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon made...hence creating the shortage. If it was just a few retailers that did not have copies I could see this being an issue with the retailer not placing the orders but this shortage was across the board it seemed.

The store I linked to above has generally always had about 10 copies of the Warner Archive blu-ray releases on the shelves on release day. This was the first one that never made it to their store shelves and they have been attempting to acquire more copies ever since. So, it seems like a production thing more than retailers not placing the orders. I mean Amazon left loads of pre-orders unfulfilled which is not normal as those pre-orders give them an idea of demand in advance.

I'm not blaming Warner Archive and maybe it was not them, perhaps it was the company that presses their discs that had an issue creating only a short initial run. I was one of the lucky ones that got the disc early but I know some people get anxious while they are waiting.

I'm just saying you don't take the first supplier excuse given to you as an explanation. I've been there and done that. You don't think George Feltenstein knows how popular this title is and well it's going to sell? He knows and so do those other fine people that work for WA in marketing.

The people at Bullmoose (the best place for physical media as far as I'm concerned) are great people and they are always good about getting the information out there about the releases. I am sometimes looking for oddball stuff and they have told me "We just did not order that." but they do order if they get a pre-order. So, they certainly would have said they just did not order enough to meet demand if that had been the case. The Warner Archive releases have been very easy to get up until She Wore a Yellow Ribbon it seems. I did not attempt to order They Were Expendable but this also seems to have a shortage at the moment. My bet would be some sort of production issue where they just did not press enough discs to meet initial demand. Obviously they will so everybody will end up with a copy that wants one and this seems the exception rather than the rule.

Reggie,

Have it your way.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

I always do, Robert.

I always do, Robert.

You got that right, you and I never agree on anything.
