Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?

[spielbergfan 0]

is there a link to printable artwork for cd jewel case please?

Someone bought the $5,000 one. Yikes.

In my country when you change two letters in the world "emporium" you will get "imperium" which means "empire" in English 

 

So Disney Emporium = Disney Empire

Yes! And now Disney, please offer another batch of 10.000 CDs at the price of $15 in your web shop.

'twas Johnny himself who bought it from ebay.

I think that's true in every country.

[Bespin 8,484]

Imperium?

 

That's also a spell in Harry Potter; it's an unforgivable curse.

 

With this power, you could take control of the president of Disney and compel him to produce a new batch of DoD CDs...

 

[Chris ChrusherComix 46]

Someone actually paid $5,000 USD, plus tax. Wow. I don't care if one is a millionaire, that's just nuts. Or did they just have more money than they can spend in a lifetime and just spent F-U money?

Did they feel silly now when there's one for $400 bid, $700 BiN? They'll doubtlessly come down some as more people get them and throw them up for sale.

I did write Disney Music Emporium and they said it's sold out and no plans for re-stocking. What a horrible marketing plan... it's an amazing thing that a company so big and powerful can make such mind-numbingly bone-headed decisions like this (and, many things they've been doing for years now). 

[scallenger 483]

Shouldn't we all be messaging them to the point of overdoing it to make a point? Like to share all of our disappointment? It's honestly bad business.

 

And surely with enough immediate demand they would reconsider since it was never explicitly stated it was limited.

In this case I hope that it cracks in the post and/or that it turns out to be a CD-R boot.

Are you referring to the urban legend that soundtrack fans don't get laid?

[GerateWohl 4,371]

I recognized, since CDs are getting less and less available I tend to buy soundtrack CDs without really being sure, if I really really like the score or even without knowing it, because I might like it later and then it might not be available on CD anymore. Stupid me.

Anybody else stupid?

I've done that as well, but by the time I list them on Discogs they're often OOP and I recoup my expenses.

I did this just once with a score this year. I had the first Enola Holmes on CD (it was cheaper than a download) and when the second came out and was also available on CD, I decided to complete the set, so I did a enough of a skim to check I didn't exactly hate the score, and bought it.

 

Had both been digital, I wouldn't even have entertained the notion of wanting either on CD.

 

The price gouging on Ebay for this score is compeletely predictable and sadly it's indicative of how desperate some people get when they suddenly realise they only have one option if their CD collection is going to be complete.

[ajc384 144]

Just received notification that my copy of the CD is being delivered today.  Dead excited!  Have already cleared a space for it next to its siblings and cousins:

 

 

It will NOT be going on Ebay or Discogs!

If he's genuinely got 6k to spend, I would humbly suggest you tell him to contact Disney and offer to pay for another CD print run.

The cracked one with bidding starting at $500 has received one bid so far.

You could also fly to Japan and hang around the box office hoping for a wonder to happen. That would be better invested than waiting for the postman to jam an utterly overpriced CD (containing an incomplete score) into your letterbox.

Man, KM... I thought I was bad typing on a small phone or tablet but you got me by a country mile. Or a hundred!  

I do think they will press more but whomever I emailed with is clueless about it and just has standard NPC/AI  answers. It seems to me that it's horrid mismanagement, some scores aren't in demand and they must've forgotten that it's a cross-collectible (Disney, JW, Indy, etc.). IMO, they should want to make more because the bottom line usually is to make some money (seems they've been struggling on and off for a while now thanks to their treatment of fans/customers, so that's not even a given).

But then what if someone in charge is like, "Meh, those snooty JWFans think they're so clever trying to save a few bucks on shipping, let's show them! TOO LATE! NO CD FOR YOU!" ... or... "I'm gonna' make JW's last score CD worth mega-bucks by shutting production at the pre-order stage... but having a stash in my basement to sell them $5k a pop one at a time! MWHAHAHA!"

Meanwhile, my copy seems to have arrived to Spain…

 

The Little Mermaid told me that i have to pay taxes here because the shipping option i chose didnt had prepaid customs like the previous order i mentioned to them. 
 

i checked and indeed the name in the order form is different… but anyway, now the only other option was just faster (at 69$ no less) and no mention of prepaid customs either. So they may have changed shipping policies and their great webpage does not say anything…

 

lets see if i can retrieve at least the “tax” paid in the USA

[rough cut 1,714]

Although it’s fun finding hidden signs that Disney = evil empire (“it was right there in front of our eyes” ), emporium stems from latin and had an original meaning of business district or market.

 

A famous current example is the Italian brand Emporio Armani, which would translate into “Department store of Armani”.

I will tend to disagree here.

It is εμπόριο in Greek and it stems from ancient Greek (εμπόριον < εν + πορεία).

It means commerce (trade).

[Jurassic Shark 12,083]

Yes, but which word came first - the ancient Greek one or the Latin one?

[rough cut 1,714]

@filmmusic is correct, the origin is greek.

[Brando 1,864]

In the Latin alphabet, Emporium begins with an I

[rough cut 1,714]

Ummm… no.
