Family Guy Vol. 1 missing from stores! (1 Viewer)

[Stan Caddy]

The Family Guy Volume 1 dvd set is nowhere to be found! Its been out since last Tuesday (April 15) and I went to three stores today, but none had it. I tried Sam Goody, Target and Wherehouse, nobody even knew when it was coming in! Whats going on?!

I picked up a copy at Best buy in Indy this past Sunday. It was the only copy there however. I didn't think it would be very popular, so I was surprised to find just a single copy left.

Maybe they didn't produce very many during the first printing?

 

[Mike Miskulin]

Yep. They're pretty hard to come by around here, too. Best Buy was sold out on Tuesday. This bodes well for any possible resurection of the show (wishful thinking, I know). Maybe Fox will finally learn how very popular this show is and learn the err of their ways.

Damn, if only I had $50 million I'd commision another fifty episodes myself...

Greatest show ever.

Funny you should mention it because all the local stores that I frequent dont have it in. I just decided to go ahead and order it.

Yea I didn't find one till Friday evening of last week. A girl had to check the computer and apparently they had just gotten another shipment in but hadn't put out yet. She ran back and got me one. Didn't even have a price tag on it yet.

Such a good worker. I always look for her when I'm in there cause she'll help you out.

They had a bunch of them in Circuit City last Friday. Didn't end up buying it, but it is out there.

I scoured my entire city last Tuesday, and finally found one store (FYE) that actually had some copies - two, to be exact. They actually had a decent price, too. I struck out at two Wal-Marts, Circuit City, K-Mart, and Sam's Club. Oddly enough, the Wal-Mart in the little podunk town where I work had about a dozen copies...

when i went to my best buy the day it came out, they had like 30 copies or more, but this was at 11:30 that morning

Family Guy Vol. 1 missing from stores!

maybe its next to Abe Vagoda and Steve Guttenberg and the chinese checkers.
(anybody who has seen the last season, will get it)

 

[Malcolm R]

I'd imagine it's sold out in most places, since they probably only ordered a couple copies not knowing if it would sell.

The only place I saw it this past weekend was at FYE, and those were probably still there because of their high prices.

When I went to my local Best Buy on the afternoon of release, they had about a dozen copies out on a table with other titles advertised in the Sunday flyer.

I was surprised they didn't have it in the usual place for new releases.

I saw a TON of them at Costco over the weekend (for 34.99 too). If anything, you can always try online because I am sure all of the big retailers have them in stock.

 

[Mark Hamilton]

In Victoria, BC, both Future Shops, Superstore, both Wal-Marts, and Costco sold out very quickly. Either the video distribution arms were not expecting this set to be so popular or Fox didn't. I work at Future Shop and had at least 20 people ask for the set on the weekend.

 

[Joshua Moran]

I bought it day of release and Best Buy had about 40 copies.

 

[James Davis]

Best Buy here didn't have it along with Target and Walmart. Circuit City had sold out. I called FYE, they had one copy left and held it for me, was $36.99 there.

When I called the larger Wal-Mart further away to check, they gave me some bull that it was set to come out 4/29. Though the first Wal-Mart told me they should have had it in, but for some reason they don't have their copies.
