There will be cancellations due to declined cards.

Maybe a handful from declined cards and canceled orders but I doubt many will be available.
agreed - a fair amount should be made available - I'd guess a few hundred maybe? but they wont last long and will only pop back up around release week.

If/when this (and also Peter Pan) becomes available again due to declined credit cards etc., how likely is it that it'll be available on the Zavvi site, as opposed to the Zavvi store on eBay? I seem to remember Aladdin being made available through eBay by Zavvi themselves, only an extra fiver (or thereabouts) was added on top so I'm hoping to not have to pay through the nose for this one...

You may not have to pay through the nose but you could have to pay out your ass. :emb:

That should not happen as complainants were made when Aladdin was sold on zavvi outlet as it was still a pre order
All future Pre Orders after Aladdin that came back in stock went back for sale on Zavvi site
No future pre orders ended up on Zavvi Outlet on Ebay
After Release Date yes was ok to sell on zavvi outlet on ebay

Complaint I made was its still a pre order and should only be sold on Zavvi up to Release date
I was one who made the complaint and got Aladdin for Free as a result of my complaint
They called me in person by Phone and I explained to them was not right to put a pre order with available stock on there Zavvi-Outlet Ebay Site as with exchange rates and shipping costs was nearly 10 Euro more than before
Complaint worked

As it was not released at the time and was still a pre order I told them they should make available stock for sale on Zavvi.com only when its still a pre order
After Aladdin I have watched closely all other pre orders that went out of stock and became available before release date
All were back for sale on zavvi.com after my complaint about Aladdin


So if any of Dumbo or Peter Pan or Lady and the Tramp or Wreck it Ralph
become available before release date you can expect they will only end up back for sale on Zavvi.com
Note after Release Date its not a issue with me were they sell it but must only be sold on zavvi.com before release date

Agree with this. Many of the previous Zavvi releases had coupon codes either available or become available during the preorder phase. Coupon codes create more sales for sure, but they also create more cancels / reorders, so it's a catch 22.

Dumbo and Peter Pan sold out with no coupon codes (only student discounts as far as I know).

I'd say the "back in stock" quantity will be far less with these because of this.

There were coupon codes used for Dumbo/Lady and the Tramp/Monsters INC 3D/The Pixar Collection #7
I ordered them when first listed as ? on 18-Oct-2013
They all were live for a few hours on 18-Oct-2013 and used 10% code SAVE10
I was not alone as others also did the same that day

There will be cancelled orders although I don't expect a lot with these releases
If any become available most likely will be 2 weeks before release date or on release date and if any do become available will sell fast very fast

FYI-From our contacts at Zavvi directly-Peter Pan, Dumbo and Lady & The Tramp have a 4,000 qty print run (and yes I will add it to the OP), and there are absolutely no plans to increase the print runs. As I said many times before, we are lead to believe that a very hard lesson was taken away from the Jungle Book. Peter & Dumbo are sold out, and any cancellations may go on sale next year, as of now.

no word about fantasia, maybe higher print run there? just wondering that it's still in stock since it was the first one going live.

hi brad, i can remember already answering that to you. re-releases can always happen, it's not for sure but imo you have to be really naiv to think that such successfull titles like these classic disney flicks won't pop up somewhere else in the world at some point.
