That's great info to know!
If they are having delays a simple e-mail explaining that would be sufficient. With the success of Conan, I can't imagine they would be shutting down or anything.Could Arrow be having some issue with manufacturing delays? Seems odd they'd be cancelling pre-orders placed months ago. Should have known well before now that they wouldn't be able to fulfill so many pre-orders.
You either have too laugh or cry, This seems to be more and more the norm...now, creeping into the Pre-order titles...Damn, that's just wrong!!!Just got another e-mail from them.
We are sorry for any frustration and confusion caused by the unexpected cancellation of your Arrow pre-order(s). You should have received a cancellation email detailing this earlier today.
Upgrading our systems has inadvertently cancelled your pre-order(s), and we’re doing all we can as a matter of priority to prevent this happening again the future. Unfortunately, cancelled orders cannot be reinstated, and you must place your order again if you still want to purchase this product.
It looks like there is going to be another release of Conan the Barbarian without the superfluous collectors stuff. Is this how Arrow normally does it, issue a movie with lots of ancillary material and then a disc only release? I'm always baffled by their releases. I'm only interested in the movie and the disc based extra features, so if this how they do it, I can skip the limited early edition and not get frustrated.
I don't see how you can do that if the standard edition comes out later and is unannounced.You kinda have to do the research on each title

Amazon links were posted the other day for April 30th release date.Arrow typically first puts out a limited edition. The contents of the limited edition can vary from release. It almost always includes extra packaging. Some releases contain an additional disc with extra bonus features and/or alternate cuts of the film.
Once the limited edition sells out, they then put out a standard edition. The standard edition omits any specialty packaging, and will usually eliminate the bonus disc if there was one.
If it’s a title that has disc based extras I will usually opt for the limited edition; if it’s just extra packaging for the limited edition then I typically wait for the standard. You kinda have to do the research on each title to see if the limited version has an extra disc or not.
I don't see how you can do that if the standard edition comes out later and is unannounced.
Except there will be a 2-disc standard edition of Conan the Barbarian.If it’s a two disc limited edition and you want all of the disc-based content, then you have to buy the limited edition because when they announce the standard edition, that standard edition will only be the first disc from the limited set.
And to make things even more fun, as of today there's ZERO mention of the upcoming 4K Standard Editions of either Barbarian or Destroyer on Arrow's website.Except there will be a 2-disc standard edition of Conan the Barbarian.
This all strikes me as consumer unfriendly. I've been getting movies on video for over 40 years. I've followed the industry for over 30 years. Arrow's releases confuse me. I don't know where to reliably buy them and I'm never sure what the contents are.

But, but, but they come in a box that takes up more space on your shelf & they also have very small versions of the one-sheet & lobby cards AND you get to pay more money for it all. What's not to love about that?Except there will be a 2-disc standard edition of Conan the Barbarian.

They always come, if the Limited Edition sells out! Just give them three or four months, from the Limited Edition release date. I'm betting a May release for the 4K Standard Edition release. Conan The Barbarian 4K was the fastest selling Limited Edition, Arrow Video has yet released.And to make things even more fun, as of today there's ZERO mention of the upcoming 4K Standard Editions of either Barbarian or Destroyer on Arrow's website.
