CURIOSITIES WITH WARNER ARCHIVE TITLES AT AMAZON (1 Viewer)

[Nick*Z]

Okay, has anyone else experienced a cancellation of The Blue Knight Blu-ray that was supposed to be available Dec. 18th from the Warner Archive? I awoke this morning to an Amazon prompt saying that they are unable to fulfill this order and have cancelled the request on my behalf. More alarming is Blu-ray.com having pulled the clickable 'order' links from their listing, although the listing itself continues to remain posted.

But honestly, this isn't the first WAC title to get delayed. Dark of the Sun still doesn't have a shipping date and that title was announced by WAC back in May of this year. Any thoughts on what is going on at WAC these days. They announce titles then pull them. Very strange!

I got that email from Amazon this morning as well.

Dark of the Sun is coming out December 18th. Pre-Order Link

By the way, I changed the thread's title because the issue is with Amazon and Warner Archive titles. There are problems at other retailers too with Warner titles, but it's more pronounced at Amazon as they shift from "availability for order" to "unavailable" much too often on just about every single Warner Archive release. Without question, the disc replication plant capacity issues are affecting stock conditions across the different labels and retailers.

One more thing, all of those December Warner Archive titles are still showing available to order at Best Buy and Deep Discount sites.

Yes this is mainly an issue with Amazon as all the titles are available at other retailers.

And it’s been going on for several months. It goes up for pre-order, then becomes unavailable, then comes back. I’m used to it.

Ditto with the new Popeye BR.

I put my pre order in at Best Buy days ago for ..Popeye, Sea Hawk, and Dracula. I get them on the release date and saved money. I don't understand Amazon why they do this. ???
