February 5th, 2020 - 8:18pmMissed out again!
Does anyone know if Amazon/Zoom/Zavvi or HMV will be getting more stock in, and if so when will they be online?
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 8:25pmKeep a close eye out from early tomorrow , as not all the retailers have shown stock as yet.
Scott Carrick
February 5th, 2020 - 8:27pmThanks Ricky will do!
Harry
February 5th, 2020 - 8:29pmI’ve pre ordered mine from Amazon and I’m worried there going to cancel it
Rob W
February 5th, 2020 - 8:37pmHarry, IF it is cancelled I’ll be asking politely for a £5 gesture of goodwill towards any future purchase.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 8:40pmi dont think they will cancel it, but to be honest what ever has been going on behind the scenes today has been a total mess.
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 8:47pmWhy would you think it would be cancelled?
James
February 5th, 2020 - 9:37pmZoom have it now
Harry
February 5th, 2020 - 8:16pmI pre ordered mine on amazon will it be safe or will they cancelled and I’ll have to do it again
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 8:29pmshould be safe i would think
Gordon
February 5th, 2020 - 7:57pmI do hope everyone that wants a copy just so the scalpers are left with a bunch of copies that they can’t shift
Gordon
February 5th, 2020 - 7:58pmWants a copy gets a copy*
DanWFA
February 5th, 2020 - 8:14pmThank you Gordon, really happy i didn’t end up losing hope in getting one and got one before they sold out on Amazon. Hope everyone else managed to get a copy who wanted one!
Ian Cotterill
February 5th, 2020 - 7:54pmI’m really glad I acted quickly to get this set on preorder. It is surprising how fast these can sell out, but then again, a lot of people buying the blu-rays do so in order to help make a fortune rather than to enjoy the actual episodes.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 7:36pmNow zoom has taken it down
BongoBrain
February 5th, 2020 - 7:41pmIs that them sold out or are more being listed elsewhere tomorrow?
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 7:44pmtomorrow
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 7:27pmIt astounds me that people are still bidding on this on Ebay some over £200. Don,t they know with all the publicity over the last five months or so they can pick it up for £40? Pure madness.
Andrew
February 5th, 2020 - 6:52pmWill HMV or Argos be stocking it?
Dogmeme
February 5th, 2020 - 8:03pmnot sure. i believe HMV will stock it because they restocked season 19 for a little while. so they might do it with this one.
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 6:29pmSo here’s to patience and stuff the sellers on eBay selling 12 STILL at stupid prices. Well done to everyone who’s pre ordered
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 6:18pmAvailable now on Zoom !!!
James
February 5th, 2020 - 6:12pmZoom order complete. Had an email from them today saying there will be an update in the website tomorrow about the item. Breif check just now and it’s live. My Collection will be complete now. FANTASTIC
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 6:25pmWell done James. I’ve cancelled with Amazon and gone with Zoom too. Ordered 14 at the same time
the 14th doctor
February 5th, 2020 - 6:00pmfinally ordered it from zoom after what has been a huge pain to find! so glad i have got it on pre ordered!
dazzleshell
February 5th, 2020 - 5:00pmAccording to DWAS on facebook. Amazon jumped the gun. Official announcement is tomorrow.
So it might end up back on there but will be on Zoom, Zavvi and the rest.
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 5:09pmAnd £3+ postage with Amazon. I jumped the gun also but you daren,t risk it with them selling so quickly.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 5:11pmit will
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 5:24pmYou should get free delivery on anything £25 or over through Amazon
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 5:28pmIs that why they ran out so fast!
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 5:36pmthey haven’t’ run out, listings have probably been pulled until tomorrow, orders should be safe though
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 5:39pmNon available again on zoom.
Rob W
February 5th, 2020 - 5:42pmThe Ergon Ricky is right, amend your order and you’ll save the £3 postage by choosing Free Delivery.
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 5:50pmWhy pull the listings if they know they can get advance orders on all copies? I mean Zavvi, HMV, Base.com and the like should have their quota,so why do they have to do this?
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 5:56pmthey have probably been told to because they jumped the gun so had advantage over the other retailers
If you ran a business and others put something up for order ahead of the given date/time how would you feel?
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 5:53pmWill this affect anyone who has already pre ordered the season.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 5:58pmI doubt it, this has happened before I’m sure orders will be safe
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 5:54pmI sent zoom an Email 10 minutes ago saying they had not put on their online store, now lo and behold its back on.
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 6:23pmRob W, with things moving so quickly with orders going on and off, I have cancelled the Amazon order and reverted to Zoom. I,ve always had good shopping experiences with them and got the order early.
Andrew Townsend
February 5th, 2020 - 4:14pmZoom online on eBay have it available for pre-order now.£39.99
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:31pmBit of a nightmare keeping up with whats happen where to be honest on this one.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:07pmNow listed via Zoom on http://www.ebay.co.uk
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 3:25pmI wouldn’t hang around on this , there’s only 66 left as I type this and there hundreds viewing these per hour.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:29pmthey just cut 50 off the total they had
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 3:33pmSold out on zoom eBay as well
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:35pmthey cut it short, they had 100 on, something going on behind the scenes i think.
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 3:34pmSeems to be sold out now, doesn’t look like there’s many been re printed , unless there’s stock being held back for other retailers.
Kyle Rickards
February 5th, 2020 - 3:36pmZoom have said they will be putting a listing out tomorrow on the main site (just had an email)
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:38pmgut feeling is these listings are as bit “premature” people will still get what they ordered but maybe there was going to be an official announcement before they were put up for sale.
Ricky Smith
February 5th, 2020 - 3:41pmBack on zoom/eBay again lol
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 3:45pmListing is stating over 100 available.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:46pmyes they put it back on, and upped the quantity
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 3:02pmStill sellers asking a ridiculous high price on eBay despite Zoom Online selling for £39.99. I have seen prices up to £700 !!
Gerry
February 5th, 2020 - 3:09pmDoes anyone know if this is the new re-issue or old stock that has come to light?
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 3:26pmif it were old stock they should have it but its listed as a pre order i would have thought
dont know why its on ebay as apposed to their own site though
Chris Roberts
February 5th, 2020 - 2:58pmOn EBay there are still idiots trying to sell for £250 – £500 !!! Then underneath there is Zoom online for £39.99 !!! It’s a no brainer and completely ridiculous
Dr John Smith
February 5th, 2020 - 3:10pmI’d be gutted to be that person who currently has a bid in for £175!!!
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 2:52pmAvailable on Zoom now ….. Zoom Ebay for 39.99.
Morrid
February 5th, 2020 - 2:51pmZOOM UK on ebay have them relisted and more than 10 available. Hope this helps everyone.
Doug Who
February 5th, 2020 - 2:05pmDoes anyone know for sure if the missing CGI Skystryker shot that was still absent on the UK replacement discs for ‘Revenge of the Cybermen’ and fixed for the US issue will be on this release?
Cheers!
Rob W
February 5th, 2020 - 4:28pmI guess we’ll have to hope they’ve corrected it along with the error with the booklet notes regarding The Sontaran Experiment broadcast on 22 February and 1 March 1975, but the booklet incorrectly lists the recording date as late September 1975.
James
February 5th, 2020 - 1:43pmThanks for the reassurance Chris, been waiting on this since it was announced to be rereleased
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 2:59pmNo problem.
Antonio Zambonini
February 5th, 2020 - 12:28pmI knew this would happen again how mad I been watching ebay recently and seen people selling them for mental prices especially unfair too everyone who’s missed out a lot
Antonio Zambonini
February 5th, 2020 - 1:58pmNow that is odd I just went on eBay and zoom online had it but it’s out of stock already ?
The Ergon
February 5th, 2020 - 2:28pmUnbelievable. Well i just hope now for the sake of others that didn,t get theirs in Zavvi and zoom get enough to counter those greedy swines. I bought one and thats enough.
Ricky
February 5th, 2020 - 2:48pmNo stock on zoom through eBay showing in live listings or completed.
Sorry if this is a double post but my first seemed to disappear
Antonio Zambonini
February 5th, 2020 - 3:38pmI think it’s mad this selling out so many times and cex still have it at 160 on there web I think it seems there’s sellers in a big way too make money mad compared too selling too cex and other places like cash converters
Gordon
February 5th, 2020 - 12:00pmLooks like amazon have sold their allocation. Don’t worry yet. Other retailers will be getting stock in. Hmv and zavvi both have said they will be getting in. Can’t believe people are trying to cash in the sacristy of it again
Rob W
February 5th, 2020 - 12:32pmThink we should all email the BBC to ask them to restrict the re-release sales to one per customer.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 12:39pmI think plenty more of these will turn up yet
Kyle Rickards
February 5th, 2020 - 12:46pmThe other thing to watch is if people cancel their Amazon orders when it’s on Zavvi and Zoom because they think they’ll save a couple of quid. I have to say very disheartening for genuine fans being fleeced yet again by the scalpers.
Adam
February 5th, 2020 - 4:11pmHi Gordon. Do you know the date that it will be available from HMV? Thanks. Adam
Dr John Smith
February 5th, 2020 - 11:41amDoesn’t appear to be available on Amazon. Dishearteningly someone on eBay already advertising 5 copies to pre-order for £79.99 plus postage. Greedy b******s. After monitoring this site for months I’m worried I’m going to miss out again.
Kyle Rickards
February 5th, 2020 - 11:44amThat shouldn’t be allowed
Patrick Gleeson
February 5th, 2020 - 11:09amAaaaaaaaaaaand it’s gone. Ffs
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 10:57amCurrently unavailable wow that sold quick ey
Bas
February 5th, 2020 - 10:49amAmazon changed the status back to ‘Currently Unavailable’. That was so fast.
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 10:46amIt is so nice to see they have followed through with re-releasing this set again, they highly underestimated the demand this collection would receive first time around, also not surprised with the short release date and little coverage because they do not need to promote this release as the target market will already be on the look out and they will have no issue selling these copies.
timelord1944
February 5th, 2020 - 10:31amJust spoken to zoom. They are aware of the release but don’t have the correct information to order stock or put it on their site yet. Amazon have simply reactivated the original link.
Kyle Rickards
February 5th, 2020 - 11:47amOh well maybe a tiny chance?
James
February 5th, 2020 - 10:28amIf I was able to place a pre-order on Amazon does that guarantee me a copy? Do they let you know if they are out of stock on pre-orders? Feel I should place an order when it launches on Zavvi too to be safe.
Rob W
February 5th, 2020 - 12:23pmYou get email confirmation of any order, mine was about four minutes to nine this morning, IF they don’t can’t fulfil any order they generally offer a £5 discount off your next order James.
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 1:18pmIf you placed a pre order on Amazon you are guaranteed a copy in March yes
James
February 5th, 2020 - 1:24pmThanks for the replies, I did get an email confirmation, just a bit scary how soon after I ordered it went unavailable, literally to the point I think might have got the last copy. While £5 discount is nice it won’t nearly cover the cost that these sell for on eBay.
Chris
February 5th, 2020 - 1:28pmAmazon sell their allocation and then announce unavailability when pre orders have used up that allocation. So if you have pre ordered and have an email confirmation of that order then you are guaranteed one of their allocation
