I don't see a buy limit so surely the scalper bots are on duty!
 
or label sold some of the stock to retailer.
It was limited to 1000 and only available to pre order from Ignite Films for a limited period of time
You only had until May 7th to place an order
It might have been Sunday May 8th as Sunday was 8th not 7th



It was announced on May 3rd the pre order would end on 7th May or before if 1000 units was sold before May 7th
This it why is was not available to order after Sunday



Later in 2022 a general wide release will be made available outside USA in Europe
Details in post#3


UK it will be from Arrow Films

Anyone still waiting for a shipping notice and tracking?...they promised all would be shipped by the first week in January. Nothing yet for me...if I don't have a shipping notice soon I'm opening a case with paypal to get my money back. Paid for this 6 months ago! As a collector I've learned to have plenty of patience...especially lately but this is getting so tiresome.
 
Received mine today...no shipping notice or tracking. They place 2 tape discs at top and bottom of slip to hold the case in place...why? really not needed. This tape is super sticky and strong...tore up my slip. Just sent them an e-mail requesting a slip replacement...let's see if they come thru. Very happy to finally have this classic restored and 4K!!
