Well, if the boxsets aren't ready then they aren't ready...I don't think it's a matter of WB choosing to delay the sets.

You're right but in any case, WB is at fault because they took money from people and announced a release date they couldn't respect twice (if the delay really occurs) : when someone spent 500 dollars for the item, it's a big deal, isn't it?

Maybe they'll realize how hard it is to make zoetropes, drop the price, and just ship the dang CDs! wink

Why do people keep perpetuating the fallacy that WB has taken money from people? They clearly stated at ordering that they wouldn't charge one's credit card until the item shipped. And guess what? My card *still* hasn't been charged! They don't have any money from me yet!

That is not completely correct. They have money from me since last October-November (I don't remember exactly).

If you pay via PayPal, they take the money from your account the same day that you place the order, so yes WB is taken the money from some people.

Best.

I'm going on a limb and saying the 1st run will ship in Feb., but the second/last run will ship in April. It makes complete sense, remember when like some of the BIG titles are sold, like Clash of the Titans and Intrada sold out of the first so many and then they would be back in stock in 4 weeks or so. It took some time for the plant to make them. I think it's the same thing going on here, no worries at all.

My only complaint is, I really want the box set, but let's face it, this is THE film music box set. It's huge, collectible, expensive and all that other groovy stuff. This was a huge undertaking so yah, I expected some delays and it doesn't bother me. My complaint, I really want it now, I'm very excited to get this mammoth box.

And me. Saw $500 go away from my account like *SNAP* that. They have my money. Why else would they give us the autographed bonus disc to customers who didn't pay in full?

They probably used the money they already made to pay Mr. Elfman for his time in signing the cover for the bonus discs.

...and I don't know whether it's because I'm in the UK or not, but they have evidently tried to take my money already as I keep having to tell my credit card company the transaction is legitimate so that WB reinstate my order (which they cancelled when my credit card company blocked it for being "suspicious). So they have tried to take money for a product that wasn't ready to ship, which is bad form for online buying.
