Pre-Order from amazon.com

in case anyone is is interested

I ordered mine with Partridge Family S4 to save on shipping

I already preordered it, but wonder if this is a mistake on Amazon's part.

TV_Fan · 01-07-2009, 07:26 PM

I think it has to be a mistake. I placed it on pre-order now at this price. Will they honor it? If not I'm cancelling the order.

The studio listing isn't even shout factory, so they can get out of it by saying the original manufacturer discontinued the product...I ordered it too, but am expecting them to cancel it and put up a new listing and of course our preorders won't get transferred.

It does say Shout Factory (at least now).

VERY INTERESTING..when I ordered it shortly after the announcement, it listed a different manufacturer....we all still know we will not get a 4 disc set for 10.99!......thanks for the new info....

I just checked again for myself, wow...they have cover art, the listing says the price is 69% off retail....it really seems they will sell it for $10.99....this is a strange one....

It is now march 23rd. I am eagerly waiting for Amazon to say this has shipped.

Hard to believe I posted this 2 1/2 months ago. Time is flying by

TV_Fan · 03-23-2009, 02:33 PM

Me too. When I pre-ordered Mr Belvedere, they shipped mine last Monday & I had it by release day Tuesday. So far no word about Room 222 shipping yet though. I'm locked in at the $10.99 price & they have to honor it. That's undoubtedly why they haven't dropped the pre order discount price below $29.99 which is only a $5, 14% savings.

cajunhillbilly · 03-23-2009, 03:24 PM

actually I got an email that mine is on the way and they only charged me $10.99 plus shipping. I was afraid that they would up it to the higher price.

dakert · 03-23-2009, 10:42 PM

Room 222 is on its way.

Jude The Obscure · 03-24-2009, 07:43 AM

And you all got it for that $10.99 price??? Amazing!!

bencasey · 03-24-2009, 12:44 PM

I got mine yesterday (not from Amazon as I don't order from them anymore since they started charging tax). I'm glad they are uncut. I just can't wait to hear all of the morons, especially over at HTF, who start to complain about the picture quality. They are 16mm dirty transfers that were made to 1-inch tape around 30 years ago. Fox never remastered the show and anyone who expected them to remaster this was dreaming. The color is okay, not red but not great either. It's exactly as I expected it to be, coming from a crappy studio like Fox that doesn't give a damn about it's older shows.

TeeVeeCloset · 03-24-2009, 05:31 PM

I'm eagarly awaiting mine from amazon, it says it shipped for $10.99 on Saturday! I don't mind at all regarding the quality, Room 222 always looked crappy being on scratchy film, I think I would be too shocked to see it remastered, as long as it is uncut, I'm with member Lee. G who has stated that watching certain series not remastered gives you that nostalgic feel like when you were watching the series on a nice wooden 29 inch console TV!

dakert · 03-24-2009, 10:23 PM

I remember (like it was yesterday, early 70s) having to bang on the side of the Old B&W TV with a Shoe to get it to come in. As long as the television came in I was a happy camper err viewer.

dakert · 04-25-2009, 11:05 PM

I just finished season One and I am hoping season Two comes out shortly!!! for 10.99
