HMV Canary Wharf had a few copies for those interested....i got one today and this by far looks and feels like a good steelbook in hand

I ordered through MovieMail and intially got an e-mail saying that it was out of stock and that I would be refunded, however I recieved an e-mail this morning saying that it has been dispatched. Confusing :S

It is 4k for sure. Studio order said amount and suppliers like Amazon/Zavvi are given a slice of it, an allocation if you will. Which most of the time wont be the whole 4k. So once the retailer sells out their initail allocation like Amazon did, they simply ask for more or whats left of the original 4k print run.

If the initial run was 4k and Amazon initially took 1k, with another 3k being shared between other retailers, then I guess it makes sense that another 1k copies would still be up for grabs. A retailer will only take what they think they can sell at any one time.

they didn't take 1k initially... they had 999+ copies available for quite a while (1-2 weeks at least)

sounds sort of reasonable.. what sounds even more reasonable would be an option to increase the print run in case of good sales

You can divide the allocation figures however you like, the 1k was just an example figure. The principle is the same though: a total of 4k divided initially between the retailers, with the remainder up for grabs.

the procedure might be correct, but the figure of 4000 seems to be made up out of thin air..

amazon had at least 2k initially if you approach this realistically.. given that most preorders are placed within the first 2 or 3 days and even after 1,5 weeks there have been 999+ copies left for sale rather rapidly tending towards zero

zavvi and sainsbury are arguably a lot smaller, leaving them with an allocation of somewhere between 500-1000 i guess..

the figures just dont add up to me..

Err... the listing went live on Amazon on the 22nd of Feb, and their initial allocation was sold out by the 5th of March... they never had that many copies available for that period of time at all.

To recap:

Actually I have just been informed that the Fox wave is 4k. That doesn't include Star Wars as I dont know the qty on that yet.

Yes, that is correct. Afaik he also said smth about an option to increase the print run to 5k if sales figures are good.

Can't find that post, but i'm very sure to have read it.

I doubt if the new stock is really 999+ .
Willow was also 999 + in stock a few minutes ago, only +/- 100 left now.
Impossible that they sold 900 copies so fast... especially because it is limited to 2 per person.

So I guess they'll adjust the real number soon.

I guess real number of Robocop left will be around 300

 

[Nyvo]

Robocop has 126 left

I expect a lot of 'thank you' now .
Joking. Amazon does this often, don't know why. Maybe a bug in their stock system or something .
