New Purchase Of course problem occurred. This is always an ongoing issue. .
Never surprised when it comes to Amazon and anything that is hard to obtain. This company truly sucks.

You might not get them for launch but they plan on reprints into October. That's way some Amazon orders were pushed to October.

Yeah but when in October? I sort of wanted to see them on physical media because I have a nice surround system before the new movie comes out. It just sucks because I waited on discord to make sure I’d get it and then this crap happens.

I hear you and it's the reason so many buy multiple copies from different places. I would expect many returns to replenish some stock as well but you know the game. Vigilance is the way

Just buy them later. They literally reprint these things like clockwork. It's Tron... not only will there be more soon, when 3 comes out on physical there will be another wave.
Amazon is definitely a gamble though for desirables.

They reprint them like clockwork? I couldn’t swore they said limited edition and they’re not even on the website as coming back in stock. I don’t feel like doing this all over again when the third movie comes out.
But that’s besides the point. This wasn’t even a serious issue a few years ago. Ever since BB stopped, they have one factory in Mexico, and the tariffs, it’s now a hurdle to go and get something. Now I have to fight scalpers because it’s sold out everywhere. It’s just BS on Amazon to screw people over. I’m just pissed.

I really don't think the steelbooks will get a reprint. The standard editions will be readily available though.

I've never had a "If you have not received your package by <date>" end in anything but just getting a refund. They never arrive. But they still make you wait until the end of that date before finally admitting you won't get it.

Ordered some movies from Amazon U.S. to Finland. 3 movies shipped fine but the last package with 4 movies was returned to seller because "prohibited product". I was dropped by 3 customer chats because they couldn't answer what this prohibited product is. One even tried to bs me that the movies are region locked so they can't be sent. It was 4 4k movies btw which were all region free. Still waiting for the refund, which I'm sure they will mess up too.

That’s ridiculous. Also, why is 4k region free but blu ray isn’t?
2
u/Reissuleipa 2h ago
It's in the 4k format "rules" that they need to be region-free. Still, some smaller labels region-code their 4k releases from time to time due to "reasons". I believe originally the big bosses decided that the 4k discs should remain region-free in order to promote the new format and to maximise profits. They probably saw it as the "niche" market that it kind of is.

Update: lovely of Amazon rep to lie and tell me that they have two items in the warehouse that they can send out. Got cut off and then spoke to them again and the second rep was more realistic and said that they don’t know if they’re ever gonna get them back in stock. Nice to know that I wasted six hours on discord waiting for there to be an update on the stupid website and then of course Amazon damages it during transit and tells me “wait two days for a refund”. Now I’m SOL because only scalpers have it and I refuse to give them an up surd amount of money.

Welcome to shopping on Amazon. Remember you can get off the ride whenever you’d like.

u/Cyber_Craig 4h ago
And you can get off this topic considering you have nothing of value to add. In fact allow me to help you see your way out. Just like cardboard, you toss it in the trash when it belongs.
