Everytime I check the link it's goes up, currently at 222 in stock. This should hopefully show ES that they need to look at their print runs or the pricing. Maybe keeping a
Limit of 1000 at this price level would be safer for them

Canceled my two yesterday , can't justify the price for a film like this.

 

[lgans316]

27 GBP = $41. This is the same price Kimchi charges. So there is nothing way too unusual with the pricing.

The US release is about 22 GBP if you factor taxes but the US have been a cheap market in general and high pricing will definitely detract buyers.

However it is going to be a tough sell keeping in mind the print run.

How does everyone know how many are in stock at one time?

 

[lgans316]

Same method as Amazon. Put 999 in the shopping cart and hit update/checkout to find out the remaining quantity.

Just checked - 265 now

If it keeps going at the current rate, ES will have their 2000 copies all to themselves in just 4.8 days.

 

[lgans316]

One thing for sure is this is selling for slightly less than the retail price in eBay.

265 is for now. I think it will touch 400 once the spare copies reserved for potential replacement are listed for sale.

I was browsing ebay earlier and had to literally wade through a whole page of G.I. Joe listings. Which as you say were all going for less than retail.

I ordered 1 copy from a group buy.. after seeing nearly every country releasing this with the same artwork doesnt make my one i brought look special anymore. The french one stand out more now from the rest.

Not quite, I'll be keeping my pre-order for one copy

Just the 1 copy for me to open and watch. If this didnt have 3d i wouldnt have bothered at that price but 3d releases are usually more than £20 most of the time anyways.

They must have added their extra reserved copies in because there are now 611 available

 

[Starling]

These will be selling for <£20 on ebay in a matter of days.

I will add though, that full credit for ES for being upfront with their numbers though. Credit to them.

I don't think that's the case. Anyone (mainly those who have ordered multiples I imagine) who was pondering cancelling there order will have done so in the last couple of days because we will start to get dispatch notices soon. Looks like the scalpers have abandoned this one. It may be cheaper on eBay in a few days, but I would rather go with Entertainment Store for peace of mind.

I won 2 copies in eBay for less than the cost price but canceled it as seller wanted 7 quid for postage by 2nd recorded.

 

[jackanape]

Ha ha, I spent ages trying to order a copy of this and now there are tons of them available.

It seems that the popularity of JR and Hansel and Gretel may have led to ES overestimating how many of these they would sell, so if they do another exclusive then the numbers may well be back down to the 1,000 mark to ensure they all go.

I've still got my copy on order, as I actually want to watch the film but my copy of H&G came with a massive chunk of the J-card torn off (underneath the perfect shrink wrap) and I could either send it back or get a partial refund. Went for the refund in the end but, if there are similar problems with this release, then it may be my last from them due to the high costs involved.

It's a shame though - as it's good to see different places doing exclusive steels.

Perhaps your right. I thought ES put up canceled orders almost immediately after they are canceled?

Between the post by stephen3001 and my last post thats 346 orders canceled in just under 13 hours.

Still a lot under any circumstance.
