Dear Sir / Madam,

Unfortunately the release date of the 'Walt Disney's Treasure: Chronological Donald' that you pre-ordered has now been moved back from the 2nd December 2003 to May 2004 by Disney. We have not cancelled your order for this title.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.


Kind regards

Yep....
die mail kreeg ik ook.
helaas zijn alle nieuwe Disney Treasures uitgesteld tot 4 mei 2004.
check ook www.ultimatedisney.com www.thedigitalbits.com
Reden zou zijn dat de vraag zó groot is dat men exemplaren bij zou gaan maken. Heb echter ook weer gehoord dat er andere redenen zouden zijn...
Maar goed, gissen heeft geen zin, gewoon (helaas) nog 1/2 jaar wachten......

Exemplaren erbij maken   LEKKER LIMITED EDITIONS

Eerst kijken hoeveel pre orders je krijgt en dan je productie aanpassen

Aan de ene kant ben ik het volledig met je eens.
De DVD is zo minder speciaal.

Aan de andere kant: stel nu dat Play te weinig exemplaren zou hebben en jij of ik buiten de boot zou vallen?
Das iets waar ik absoluut niet aan wil denken!

Trouwens: de oude Limited Editions zijn in de USA opnieuw te koop. Re-Issue: Box met alle 7 titels minus de tinnen box.
In NL komen MM in living color 1 en Silly Symphonies uit. (eind Nov) Die 2 titels gaan beslissen of er in NL meer uit gaan komen (verkoopcijfers beslissen).

ja echt klote.
ik kreeg ook zo,n dergelijk mailtje.
ik heb de gehele collectie,in seal!!!
heb niet 1 keer het hart gehad om ze open te maken.

[ThinWhiteDuke]

Waarom open je ze niet?
Ze zijn zeeeeer de moeite waard!
En als je ze goed vind, waarom zou je ze dan ooit willen verkopen? (meestal is dat nl de enige reden dat men ze in seal laat)

[angel66]

hehe ik had er niet bij gezegd dat ik ze haast dubbel heb gehad.
sommige heb ik gedeeltelijk bekeken.
die heb ik weggedaan.
maar deze staan heel mooi in mijn kast en doe ik absoluut niet weg.

Niet om je bang te maken, maar wat als er een fout in de DVD zit.
Ik heb de afgelopen paar jaar een paar DVD's gehad met pers fouten, ik zou dat toch wel willen weten voordat ze niet meer leverbaar zijn.

MvrGr.

"Where's Walt? Last week, Buena Vista Home Entertainment announced a five-month delay for the latest four releases in the studio's highly popular Walt Disney Treasures collection, which has caused a small furor across the Internet about the true reasoning behind the postponement.

The Treasures collection, a series of limited edition tins that contain extensive collections of classic Disney animated shorts, television specials and vintage archival material, are usually released every December to commemorate Walt's birthday. The four titles - The Chronological Donald Volume 1, Mickey Mouse in Living Color 2, Walt Disney on the Front Lines and Tomorrowland - were originally scheduled for a December 2nd street date, and have now been pushed back to May 18th. But it is Walt Disney on the Front Lines that is causing all the controversy among enthusiasts, with many fans speculating that Disney has intentionally delayed the release to make alterations to the set in lieu of potentially controversial content.

To quell the mounting backlash, Disney has publicly denied the accusations of self-censorship, instead citing a simple problem of supply and demand. "We had the fortunate problem of having much higher demand than we had anticipated," says Disney executive Lori McPherson. "We thought orders would be a little bit higher because we knew there was going to be a lot of demand for the Disney on the Front Lines volume, but orders came in about fifty percent higher than even our most aggressive projection."

Unlike most DVD releases, which come in standard keepcase-like packaging, the Walt Disney Treasures series is also housed in a custom collectible tin, which must be imported from overseas and necessitated the delay. "There was no way (the studio) could get them in time," McPherson adds. "We were in a situation where we would have to allocate orders out to retailers, and that, combined with the fact that it is such a busy fourth quarter led us to decide that the best thing to do with these releases was to move them to May 18th."

And in what McPherson calls an "incorrect supposition," internet speculation has many fans worried that the Walt Disney on the Front Lines that will premiere in May will be different from what would have arrived in December. But "we are not changing anything," McPHerson assures. The discs "are already done and have been done for a number of months. I think some consumers were just surprised that we were releasing the war shorts, because we have never released them before."

Like all of the Walt Disney Treasures titles, Walt Disney on the Front Lines will be available only for a limited time, which McPherson believes is the main reason for the sudden surge in interest. "Retailers are realizing that we are only releasing them once. We are not repromoting them all year long. They really do go away.""
