gwynIt's hard to overstate how anguished I was on finding out that LFN DVDs were pulled from distribution one week before they were due. There is so much goodness in S2, and fans had such a long hard road getting them -- the over a year wait is a good indication of how little support there's been for the show. And I felt pretty resigned, because the timing meant that most of the major resellers had to cancel their orders after sending out copies to the international orders (farthest out goes in the mail first). Currently the disc sets that were available before being yanked are going for upwards of $300 on e-bay.
So imagine my surprise when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
movies_michelle called me tonight to tell me that she was standing in a local Best Buy and they had copies on sale. Did I want them? she asked. HELL yes, I said. I don't care that they're $20 more than I would have paid on Amazon. They're physically there, and I can have them (unless the counter people took them away from her). Thank god for the S&H discs coming out today and her devotion to getting them. Praise be to Starsky and Hutch! Apparently this BB didn't get the memo to pull the discs, and someone emailed me today telling me she'd found some at a store in another part of the country. So the haphazard, mixed information is apparently causing enough confusion that if you're vigilant and look hard enough, you might be able to find some. Seattle area peeps, might be worth checking out michelle's BB store!
I can't stand the wait till Friday when I can get them in my grubby little fists. Finally, Hard Landing on disc! The nude scenes and love scene in crystal clarity! Whee! ANd I can only hope that this confusion and zaniness will get sorted out. It sounds as if it is a music licensing issue, but it's hard to know if it means someone wants to pull a song, or some junior legal assistant didn't cross all Ts and dot all Is. I just want the discs. I just want more discs. And I want Warner to understand how crushing this is to people who've struggled for years to make this a reality in the face of enormous opposition. But discs! Illegal discs! Yay!!!!
