DARK SHADOWS REUNION

no one has mentioned anything about the ds reunion dvd that was to be released this week. i ordered mine from AMAZON.COM and they sent an e-mail today stating that my order has been cancelled and the dvd i ordered is not being released at this time! a friend of mine on the east coast told me he purchased it from movies unlimited in philadelphia! what gives?

Joe,

I noticed this a few weeks ago, but didn't think much of it at the time. For a while, Amazon had the Dark Shadows Reunion DVD listed twice, using two different stock numbers.

Apparently, they deleted the duplicate entry, so that anyone who placed an order from that page got the notice you received about the item not being available. Anyone who ordered from the page they left up received the DVD.

This is not the first time they've done this either. 

Brilliant, huh?

Brilliant, huh?

Oh, so very.   

So, if I went to amazon NOW, would I see the DS reunion DVD for sale? And does anyone know how much it costs?

i wrote to customer service and informed them that they r advertising the item that they cancelled. they wrote back and said that even if i ordered it again the order may be cancelled again! this makes no sense. im just going to get it at tower video or somewhere  else.

patti, read my latest post. i would think twice about ordering this item from amazon. 

My copy is on its way from cduniverse.com and I also saw several copies on the shelf at my local Best Buy. Sounds like Amazon is not to be trusted with this title.

Thanks, Bette, for the Best Buy mention--I got the cancellation notice from Amazon earlier this week, and assumed the DVD was delayed, but I went to BB today and picked up a copy.  Just finishing watching it--what a great tribute to DS to be featured at the Museum of TV and Radio.  Fun to see them all together again.  Definitely worth buying!!   

Brian

i purchased mine at bestbuy also.

You're welcome, Brian. Glad it worked out for you. I was very surprised when I happened to see copies at BB because my local store usually does not carry much in the way of DS. My copy arrived yesterday from  CDUniverse, but I have not yet had the time to view it. I was fortunate enough to have been at the actual event at the Museum of  TV and Radio, so I know that I have a treat in store.

Whoa.  You're shopping at Best Buy again, Brian?

Glad you enjoyed it, wherever you bought it.    Agree that the tribute was very enjoyable.

Yeh, Midnight, I broke down and went back.  I'm surprised you remembered my previous rants against BB.  Of course I have to add that I now do 95% of my DVD/CD/Books/etc. through online merchants (e.g., Amazon; Deep Discount DVD; Columbia House DVD Club; BMG Music Service.)  I no longer need the immediate gratification of buying from a local store--but this disc was an exception.  LOL.

It's a curse.  I remember what happened on the forums ages ago but not where I put my coffee cup or keys. :-

I found mine at Best Buy too. They had 3 of them in stock and on the shelf Saturday for 19.95.  Actually 2 now since I picked mine up.  You can also get them through DVD Planet.com.

I ordered mine through Amazon (with "A Mighty Wind") and it is now somewhere in Illinois. Sigh. Oh well, I ordered it with my Amazon Visa, so at least I'll get the points.

Btw, Midnite, love your sig file. Long live Spike.
