My copy has just arrived in the UK from the Int. store.

I find it interesting in the notes, that the director wanted to tell the Drago story across Pts 2 and 3, but was told that the second movie had to be a standalone story, with no cliffhanger, and if it was a success, he could make the third one.

Don't know why he didn't use Drago in the third movie, as the bad guy is pretty much the same as him, with the same purpose. I always felt that the ending of the second one should have been the ending of the trilogy.

Yes, he always planned to make a two parter with 2 and 3. He said this when the second film was released. The film was a modest success but not nearly as successful as the more comedy oriented 3D animated films these companies put out. Since they did green light the third film I don't know why he didn't follow thru with his plans.

Says, "Email When Available". I'm sure they sold out the number of discs they initially pressed. These companies don't press all 2000 (or whatever the number is) at once.

Speaking of which has anyone got this title from a third party vendor? I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet and I ordered this two weeks ago.

Fantastic news! But we need it NOW, before the planet blows up. I don't expect will all be around in 2024.

2 days ago but no shipping confirmation yet.

I messaged Varese over Facebook and got this in response. Definitely close to sellout

Well dang, heh. What was in this Deluxe that wasn't in the first, a Wonka ticket?

At any rate, good on ya, Varese.

First film's deluxe edition was limited to 3000, this one is limited to 2000.

Hard to predict demand for these things, but it's also a statement that says the lower you limit something the more likely it is for it to sell out fast.

Damn, that's selling fast. SAE already not showing now, so luckily for me I was able to order from the international store.

Been listening for the last couple of days…..enjoying it quite a bit. The expansion is good and so nice to hear the bonus tracks. I need to dig out my original CD and compare but the sound quality seems to be improved - not sure if it was remastered or alternate sources were used.

Edit: just remembered that I made a significant upgrade to my amplifier and cables since I last listened to the original CD in my two channel system so that could account for the improvement. Either way, pretty pleased.

Such great music!!!

Some kinda BS going on here. No way they pressed 2000 copies all at once. No way they had an immediate sell out of 2000 copies. And wheres the copies for third party vendors? And now they're going to take copies promised to international vendors and sell them internally?

Varese has an entirely separate website for foreign buyers, they referred to transferring stock from their "international store," that's what they mean:

My order from Intrada just shipped today. Really looking forward to this. Powell's HTTYD series of scores definitely holds a high place in my book.

This Deluxe Edition is limited to 3,000 copies, just like the first one was.

Source: I'm holding the release in my hand, and it says 3,000 on the back cover.

The US website says limited to 2,000 copies, likely because they reserved 1,000 copies for their international store. I know the UK store also says 2,000, but someone likely just forgot to change the number there. And now we know they are shuffling copies around anyway, so both numbers are really only estimates.

We've gone through this before with other Varese DEs since they launched the UK store. I remember confusion about how many copies Lionheart was limited to as well.

But the definitive answer is always found on the back cover, not the website(s), for whatever reason.
