Jaws - 45th Anniversary (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (FilmArena Collection #134) [Czech Republic]
- Thread starter IRON MAN
- Start date
woohoo finally. Cant wait for this to go live
The live Classic Sale will start June 18.2020 20:00 CET
Most likely this will get sold out during the VIP pre-orders currently in effect and won’t reach the Classic Sale start time.
The “I WANT TO BUY” button on film arena webstore is still showing. I would advise to click on it the fastest as possible if you want the chance to be able to purchase one (In the event some copies would become available)

Thank you
I Had realised it was gone from the group buy here but yes it was the site date i was still waiting for. But Yes im 99.9% sure this wont go live there so yes sadly many of us will miss out.
It states it's available from July 15th. I guess I have to ask what a Classic Sale means and where is it live on June 18th?
Those with collectible numbers have 3 day advance to order
15th/16th/17th June
Classic sale is the 18th June on film arena website and very unlikely there will be any available by then as its limited to 601
You can click I want to buy on Film Arena website right now if you want and try your luck. You would be put on a reserve list but it's very unlikely there will be any stock for Classic sale on the 18th June
And even if there was anyone who already clicked I want to buy would get offered first
LOL. I like to think that, but I would never discredit someone else's true and devoted love to the greatest movie in the history of cinema. That said, I do have a killer Jaws collection that was featured in the Horrorhound Jaws edition a couple years back. Of course, it's grown since then.i take it, your jaws number 1 fan around here
That gets removed on or before classic sale pre order date
It get's removed before classic pre order date if already sold out
You would have needed to click I want to buy weeks/months before pre order date to register your interest in purchasing and even then you only would been put on a list and not be guaranteed a copy
With the print run only been 601 most copies would have went to the VIP's with collectible number during the 3 day advance before classic sale pre order date
The only way you will get releases like this is if you are a VIP with a collectible number that covers the print run or purchase from a GB
When there is any stock available on classic pre order date you see buy now but that did not happen as it was sold out before this
Any cancellations would be offered to those that was put on the list created by clicking I want to Buy this you needed to have done weeks/months ago to have any luck in getting a copy
Back last week, the Buy button was available for a few minutes at 7pm UK time, think it was on the 18th June. The site was crippled (totally unusable) for at least 15 minutes, responses times were minute multiples. No idea if any anyone was lucky to bag one, I sure wasn't one of them. I guarantee these are sold out from FA now.
If you ever used the HDZ site, that's really bad at order times like this, this experience was way worse IMO. Think there was chatter in the IT 2 thread about this...
I guess I'm dense as a fence. Why do you keep referencing the month of June? Everything and it's mother says it's the month of July?
I'm unfamiliar with FAC practices, but it seems kind of odd that they plaster July on everything and yet some keep talking about June 18th? What is the process or practice they run thru on June 18th that takes all the copies away? There is no notification of June anything anywhere that I see other than on this board. and if it is sold out at this point, shouldn't they post that? I mean...what benefit is there to them putting it out there like it can be preordered if they are all already gone?
Just trying to get a better understanding of FAC. Is it a secret super sale day only known to VIPs and coveted in secret from everyone else? Confusing, man.

You are confusing preorder date with release date. That's the problem. Preorder has come and gone. It has sold out. There are no copies available for public sale on release day.
@jaws finatic I agree the FAC process is confusing and I'm trying it work it out based on the last two cycles, being Hobbs and Shaw (with MI:Fallout, SLoP2 etc) and then Inception (with Jaws, IT2 [BB] etc)...
I believe you have to have selected I want to buy way before any of the steps below to even have a chance here, but unsure, perhaps another member can actually confirm. This step may be dealt with in another way, but I cannot confirm if it's true at present. This would be my experience of the first cycle for Hobbs and Shaw. The following is what recently happened with Inception...
So to me, it would appear that a date of pre-order is presented for the first of perhaps four that will be released (lets use Inception as example). These seem to be in 2 month cycles. So pre-order for the people that have collectible numbers get 3 days to commit (lets say the 15th to 18th June) [they buy the majority of 500 of Inception, Jaws and IT2 BB]. On the 18th at 8pm Czech Republic time (7pm in the UK), as 3 day window elapses, a buy it to others is present within seconds to minutes for other to buy it now...and put it in your shopping cart and pay. So, not only Inception, but Jaws and BB IT2 at the same time...
Yes, this is ludicrous IMO, if I'm right about this. The site was unusable for 15 minutes and the buttons disappeared to buy it on Inception, Jaws and BB IT2.
So back to today. I believe if you keep watching Jaws, it will just tick down to 0 days, and then a wonderful sold out hit the page, and as a customer, you wonder what the hell is going on and how did you miss the opportunity. It's because of the batching of three to four on sale at the same time with incredibly small numbers available... and an elusive pre-order date/time that isn't communicated at all.
I'm going to personally see if this process is true around the 18th Aug '20 for whatever is on offer then...
Someone can correct me if I don't understand, this really is a lottery and predicting the pre-order window for general sales....

Its simple, if you dont have a number with FA then click the “I want to buy” as soon as it appears. You will be in a queue with everyone else doing the same. There is no point in waiting for a “buy” button to appear because it might not even get that far. The “i want to buy” appears months ahead sometimes. I bought many titles this way. These releases were added very late to the site so this is an exception to the norm.
Well, I was on their page like Tonto chasing down a scallywag and believe I jumped on that I want to Buy button day 1 that it appeared. I guess we'll see what happens.
Will joy find JawsFinatic, or will despondent sorrow rage tears of angst as he wallows in the self pitty of his FAC-less nightmare???
Tune in sometime in July for the answer. Same Jaws time. Same Jaws channel.

Oh how I would have loved you, but you never gave me the chance to have you.
But I have found a new girlfriend in Jaws Cinemuseum offerings as that has BS announced, so I'm going to go live with her on that thread from now on
Goodbye, it could have been great...
