Member OldPangYau Posted January 19, 2010 Member Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well, the blu-ray of The Deadly Duo is supposed to be coming out tomorrow, and I decided to pre-order it from deepdiscount.com after the success I recently had with the blu-ray of Opium and the Kung Fu Master. However, a day or so after I did that, the listing for the blu-ray disappeared! Meanwhile, all other online stores are still showing it. According to DD, it's being "backordered". Meanwhile, I also pre-ordered Five Element Ninjas, which apparently will still be on the way next week. That's good at least. Anyway, if anyone else has pre-ordered this or finds this in any stores (most likely FYE), give me a heads up! I want more Shaws on blu-ray, damn it!

Member TimB Posted January 19, 2010 Member Share Posted January 19, 2010 It got pushed back to April 27th but who knows if it will actually make it. I haven't seen a Media Blasters Blu-Ray make it on it's first release date yet. It took months for Death Trance to make it out, and I've been waiting on Ichi the Killer since last summer. The Kid with the Golden Arm DVD was also rescheduled for April 27th, and I have more faith in that one making it's release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense for them to release these the same day, as opposed to one on one week and one on another week. Basically like how they were going to with DD and Five Element Ninjas this week and next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TimB Posted January 20, 2010 Member Share Posted January 20, 2010 Those are the dates listed at The Right Stuf. Media Blasters solicited their April releases just the other day, and I noticed the dates on those two had changed. The Right Stuf is pretty good on street dates from companies that release anime (MB, Funimation etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it only makes sense for them to have date change info first. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Killer Meteor Posted January 21, 2010 Member Share Posted January 21, 2010 It always makes me uncomfortable when these things are delayed, because I don't trust any cult dvd company these days to be around in 2 months time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but Media Blasters has been around for a while now. But then again, I guess anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
