Gamera:GotU and Gamera:AoL on Blu-ray in the US on 10/12/10

[g2kmaster]

Any other details reguarding G3?

Nope just that they have it. BTW what's your avatar Evan?

It's Hedorah done by a Japanese artist, but I can't recall where it came from.

Yeah, it's a nice little piece of art, eh?



I currently gained a copy of the film finaly and well, the 1971 G film easily makes my top 10 Goji films and makes No. 10 on my fave kaiju films of all time. Great, great film. But back to Gamera...

[Goji]

Wait, so you just just watched HEDORAH for the first time..?

That explains the avatar. Good lord.

Not for first time. WTF. I have seen it almost every time that it came on Syfy channel since 2002. I just now got around to getting a copy though. Really. Think I would not have seen this film?

Yeah, screw those kids who watch Godzilla movies for the first time!

[garada]

Wow, I registered for this message board JUST so I could comment on how cool that Hedorah painting was. Granted, I've lurked here for years, but never felt the urge to comment. But I loves me some Hedorah, in fact it's probably my favorite Kaiju movie of all time. that's right, favorite kaiju film, not just favorite Godzilla film.

Anyway, thanks for sharing it, g2kmaster!

To stay on topic, I have the Gamera Blu-Ray pre-ordered from Amazon [along with Demeking, yay Super Saver Shipping!], and they still haven't shipped mine yet Best Buy now lists the release date as 10/19. What? Pushed back a week? Did anyone receive theirs yet?

I'm really excited about this release; even with no extras, the movies themselves rock, and $11.99 is hard to say no to, especially if those HD transfers look as nice as I imagine. Plus, just having the first film in anamorphic makes it extra tasty for me.

I want it NOW!

People on Blu-ray.com are having trouble as well

I bought mine on ebay and it shipped the day I ordered.

[gvamp]

Garada when's your copy from Amazon scheduled to ship? The reason i ask is because I'm tempted to order it but don't feel like waiting forever to get it.

I could check my local Barnes and Noble but they list the date as the 12th.

From what I've heard from MZ from people who've seen posts about it the films look fantastic. So maybe I was wrong about this release.

No offense Evan, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyways, I will disrupt this thread no further.

I bought mine on ebay and it shipped the day I ordered.

I hope you get it soon then, lucky guy! Amazon's site currently states "Usually ships within 2 to 5 weeks"... I wonder if they ran out of stock?! Please let us know when you get yours, you may be the first one here to get it!

GVAMP: In theory, mine should have already shipped... both items in my order [the Gamera Blu-Ray and Demeking] released the same day. Demeking is currently listed as 'In Stock' [with only 5 copies left], but Gamera... hmm. Frustrating! Hope I get them both soon!

[gvamp]

They didn't give you a shipping estimate?

I guess this weekend when I go to town I'll check and see if it's at my B&N if not then I'll order it from Amazon.

I assume my copy is going to be received either tomorrow or the day after. Of course i'm hopping tomorrow.

Well, the shipping estimate is currently "October 18, 2010 - October 22, 2010", but with today being the 14th I just don't see it happening. I really hope it does, but...

Ah well, patience is a virtue I suppose. It'll come eventually and at least with Amazon's 'Pre-Order Low Price Guarantee' thing, they put the disc down to $9.99 for me [I think it was $13 when I first ordered it]. Not too bad of a deal, getting this Gamera Double-Feature and Demeking for under $25 shipped and all.

I'm more anxious to hear that someone, anyone has actually got the damn thing in their hands... at this point, based on the amazing price and the supposed awesome quality of the transfers, this thing sounds too good to be true!

I got an email from the ebay seller

Hi, thank you for your purchase.

I am terribly, terribly sorry, we may have sent you an email earlier today
with the incorrect content in the email.

The correct message is that your preordered item shipped today, one day after
the release date which was yesterday. The reason for the one day delay is
that we only got the items in today (we normally get them one week before
the street date), due to production delays from the studio.

I am very sorry for this delay in getting the product from the studio, and
for any confusion an incorrect email may have caused.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems, as we guarantee every
item 100%.

Which means I might have to wait a little longer ugh I just want this so bad.

Well, the silver lining in this is that if the seller you bought from on eBay just got their shipment TODAY, maybe Amazon will too! Hope they get it to you soon.

Does ANYONE have this disc yet? It's like the Loch Ness Monster!

[gvamp]

There's a person a Blu-ray.com that has the disc apparently.

Thats been up for sometime I pm'd him and he said he got it last friday. I don't know if I should really belive him though.

Not sure I believe it. I may be overly skeptical, but once someone on this board actually has a copy in their hands, THEN I'll believe it really exists. It just seems odd that ONE guy on blu-ray.com got it the Friday before release, yet nobody else that pre-ordered it, from blu-ray.com, amazon, ebay, Target or ANYWHERE has received theirs. Even sites that seem to get advance copies of stuff like this, such as dvdtalk.com, haven't reviewed it yet. Strange...

[g2kmaster]

As for the blu-ray... eh... some people faking and such. Whatever. Wait till we get some pictures...

[Legion1979]

So no one has this yet?

Weird.

I positive my copy will come tomorrow.
