That's being way too horny don't cha think? It's friggin' June. Besides it's not going to sell out. DDDhouse and CD-Wow will do much, much better price wise as well as not being booters.

masked avengers sold out before it was even officially released on hkflix, so for us that use that site, this is a good heads up. I cant speak for dddhouse and most certainly wont use cdnow(given with its recent lack of customer service). Thanks for the heads up!

It's clever of HKFlix to realize this is going to be a big item so they want to get as many customers as possible in their pipeline as soon as possible.

The thing is, they're not going to ship it before anyone else (except maybe CDWOW :b ).

Everyone knows how popular it's going to be and that includes Celestial, so I wouldn't expect it to be out of print too soon.

I'll wait also.

BTW, I'm not giving up on CDWOW yet.

Maybe I am jumping the gun but I just like the comfort of knowing I have a copy reserved. ;) If they put Kid from Kwangtung up for early pre-order I'll do the same as well, that's one of my most eagerly anticipated releases too! :P

i have no actual sources BUT STILL logic dictates that certain tittles should be on DDs list. i,m led to believe that QT handpicked most of the tittles from celestial and from his own private collection-and i,m also led to beieve that SUPER NINJAS and KID WITH THE GOLDEN ARMS are among his favourites--so they should show up. we,ll just have to wait and see. OR we could ask LINN for some input. thanks.

Yes, HKFlix will sell out with their first inventory. That's why they are advertising it so early. They'll be able to gauge a second inventory with sales from the first. It's always better to reserve a copy in advance, then last minute. You won't get billed until it ships anyway. I've purchased all of my IVL titles through HKFlix. One thing I've found out is that when you order last minute (on street date or later), chances are the item will already be on backorder and you'll wait at least a month more for a restock. It may be the same for DDDHouse, Yes Asia, CD Wow too.

I believe Linn confirmed in an earlier post that Golden Arm is NOT being released through DD.

Unless theres proof that dragon dynasty has acquired these titles, or even Life Gamble(in which you mentioned in another thread), i dont see them being released(for dragon dynasty).
