Well, shoot. Over half the units gone in 24 hours. Guess nobody wanted this release afterall.

It's that wonderful cover art. You have these different blue shades, the white lettering, and that red jacket on Elliot that grabs you in. I'm sold.
Oh, and then there's the music....

My guess is that E.T. will sell out by next week?
My guess is that E.T. will still be here in a year from now.
JP hasn't sold out yet, and it hadn't had so many releases beforehand like E.T.

Price point is an issue though. Expensive sets are harder for people to afford at once:
Lethal Weapon
Jurassic Park/Lost World
Batman Collection
The Naked Gun (until they dropped the price significantly)
Lost In Space
Granted, the Batman Collection sold out before being reissued, but it's actually cheaper than Jurassic Park/Lost World.
E.T. is a pretty standard price.

Lightning struck for the seventh time for John Williams with this sumptuous score. However, this was only the second time, the first being Star Wars, that the sound engineering was just as cutting edge as the music.
With Bruce Botnick's hybrid analogue/digital sound, and the brightness of the MGM soundstage, we really got, even through the compromised MCA vinyl, a really standout score with thrilling reproduction.
I can't wait to hear how it sounds, too.

Yes. I certainly hope that the bright MGM soundstage mix is retained. It was noticeably altered in the 2002 edition.
As we are nearing the release date; I'am wondering if the delay from 22nd was intentionally delayed to 26th so as to coincide with the DVD Blu-ray release ?
Anyways, hoping the international orders ship first, come 26th as they usually take the longest to reach the far flung destinations.

I'm grateful they caught this before shipping, and are taking the time to correct the issue. I'd rather wait a few more days for a flawless disc.

Well, we know that E.T. will have all his teeth.
