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

Damn, this random Monday is the day all my John Williams dreams came true! Ok, except for meeting him...

 

The day's not over...

[Smeltington 1,441]

I don't plan on leaving the house again today. So that means he's coming over?

[ajc384 144]

Excellent news it's available again!  Hope everyone who wanted it gets a copy and the Ebay scalpers are left high and dry!

Yeah let's all smash that "thank you" reaction for @Eplicon - hero of the forum! Now we can sit and wonder when this will actually ship, and if there'll be any more chills and spills before then. Would it be premature to change my answer to this poll? haha.

They're sending the real deal.*

Oh my gosh! Ordered! Thanks for the heads up, @Eplicon!! It’s been an hour since you posted and they’re still allowing orders, too. I guess they finally decided to press more - just wonder how many.

 

And to think, someone bought one on eBay last night for $760. Ouch to them!

This may be more true than you know!

[Brando 1,864]

Now the question is, do I buy another one so I can sell it on Ebay in a couple of months?

[Jurassic Shark 12,086]

You know you will.

Reported!

[filmmusic 1,839]

Wow! Thanks so much @Eplicon!

I just ordered one too.

one question:

in addition to shipping I paid tax too. That means I won't pay customs?

(it cost me 31,44 euros in total)

beats $5,000

[Brónach 1,302]

for this kind of money i'm getting a different JW

[filmmusic 1,839]

By the way, interestingly enough, the cd option doesn't come up when you use the search function for "Dial of destiny".

I get only the LP in the results.

Ordered for about the same price!

 

Wondering the same about the 5 dollars tax I had to pay, considering it will be shipped to France.

Disney had an evil plan to make everyone have FOMO and then put them back up to increase their sales.

unfortunately yes, it seems so.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

For european customers: yes you have to pay customs fees in your country. My parcel is just awaiting payment of the vat. Which the official postoffice tracking does not say it. I just checked on their customs department webpage and voila….

 

im going to ask a refund of the us tax from them. I think marian managed to do it

 

 

And congratulations for everyone. The guy who paid $5000 must be rolling in his grave….

Oof. That hurts. If anyone happened to order a spare copy and is willing to part with it for a reasonable price, I'm your huckleberry.

[filmmusic 1,839]

I'm afraid now that that "opened window" for ordering was a glitch and our orders won't be fulfilled! 

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

I remember when the superman blue box was sold at warner site for like 40 bucks. They cancelled all orders without even telling customers.

[SpaceCoyote 150]

The webpage for the CD hasn't been taken down yet, so I'll take that as a good sign for those of you lucky enough to place an order. You can still add it to your cart, you just can't checkout. I've been refreshing the webpage for the last half hour in case I'm able to slip through (it actually let me press "Secure Checkout" at one point and got my hopes up before rejecting me).

 

EDIT: And in the time it took to write this, it's gone. Product currently not available...

[Smeltington 1,441]

I think they printed 50 more, and 49 JWFans ordered it (2 for @Brando)

[Dr. Rick 1,157]

Dammit!  I missed out again!

But they bothered adding the "LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE" note, which wasn't on the initial page weeks ago, so I guess this was legit.

No. Their terms state that they collect taxes for domestic orders, and that they don't handle international taxes, which must be handled by their customers themselves. What they *do* is apparently automatically charging domestic taxes for non-domestic orders.

 

What you can do is contact them (by replying to your order confirmation email) and explain the situation, then send them your import tax receipts, and they will (or might) tell you that they have ordered a refund (your choice: PayPal or cheque). That's my current status, but my PayPal account hasn't seen the refund yet (which supposedly was issued by Disney at the end of last week). It might just be stuck in some Disney-internal customer services pipeline, but if it's not here tomorrow, I will contact them again.

 

I also told them that these taxes are obviously automatically added to all international orders, and that they might want to look into that. They didn't reply to that.

Added a new poll option for those who managed to get one today

 

Of course you might not want to change your vote until you actually get a shipping notice...

Indeed, I'll wait until I have the Graal in my hands.

Thank you brother - how funny as you and I were just joking offline that your copy and your father’s was worth $5K each! 🤣

Here's a bonus track for those who didn't manage to get a copy.

Ouch... that one still hurts, traumatic memories

 

So glad more folks got a copy of Dial! 

[crumbs 14,319]

Disney really looking out for Australian fans lately. First discontinuing physical media in the country, then putting this up for sale between 3am and 6am local time. 

 

Thanks @Jay @Chewy and @Holko for trying to notify me but suffice to say I was asleep 

 

Hopefully there's a next time

 

[LB Makes Stuff 240]

I emailed asking if this listing was a mistake and if there’ll be another batch incoming if this listing was genuine. Should have an answer soon I imagine…When I get a response I’ll send it here.

[Amer 2,117]

I managed to privately inform all of my friends and all were able to secure a copy in the nick of time except one guy but fret not. I have a very good feeling Disney will come back for another round. I think the real reason is probably the production plant not able to produce in large batches. Well what ever the reason keep checking the link daily...it will be back !!

[Arpy 4,145]

Average Netflix/streaming series are somehow able to have wide commercial releases in physical media formats, but Indiana Fucking Jones struggles to produce and sustain an initial release? It doesn't make sense. 

 

I was lucky to order one before it sold out last time, but the packaging they shipped it in did not protect it from cracking on the front of the case 😡

Disney is printing a hell lot of DVDs, BluRays and 4k editions of their TV shows. I don't think, that they have capacity issues on their production plant. I could think of, that they - for whatever stupid reason - are waiting until the Vinyl edition of the soundtrack is sold out before they print new CDs. But that is just a wild guess. I don't know.

 

But anyway, whoever manages that Disney music emporium is doing one of the worst jobs in the industry.

[Steve 593]

Why can't they just let everyone pre-order who is interested and then press the requested number of dics? This is really laughable for such a big company. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,086]

They probably wanted the final Indy OST to be a special collector's item.

[rough cut 1,714]

This isn't intended to be a limited edition as far as I can tell. Most likely there's a problem with production. I've said it before, and will repeat it again, there is no way this is a limited edition that won’t be reprinted.

 

So, anyone who still haven't got their hands on a copy will get their chance - without having to pay through the nose to get it. Congratulations BTW to the guy who bought a second hand copy for EUR 800, only to see it in stock again for 12 bucks plus shipping the day after.

[Jurassic Shark 12,086]

He probably found the shipping too expensive.

Still nothing for me: didn't manage to order it the first time, was offline yesterday so missed the updates.

Fingers crossed for another opportunity soon...

I agree. It's just a question if that is going to happen during my lifetime. Probably I should put a paragraph into my will and ask my grandchildren to get a copy for me. Or rather ask them to put such a paragraph into their will. Just to be sure.
