Yeah, two of the highest revenue HMV's in the North West and one copy between them.

Trying not to go off topic, it does highlight people's frustration with the bricks & mortar establishments. I order (for my DVD shop) about 50+ titles from HMV Online each month, and like clockwork they turn up on the Friday before release day. Then as a one-off to spend some vouchers, I thought I'd go for the Blu-TZ to pick-up instore as I thought it would be a no-brainer to be there, and low and behold - nada.

I'm keeping my old DVDs though !! Although I was pleased to note that the DVD re-issue comes in a far better case than the last DVD issues of TZ. They looked good, and felt good, but a little impractical.

This is a great shame indeed. I think there is still a need for bricks and mortar establishments - I believe there will be times and people who will pay a little extra to be able to get hold of what they want or prefer to browse physically but for that to work you have to carry range. The Twiight Zone is one of the best shows of all time and they're not stocking an all-new release - that's a poor show.

Must admit, having not been browsing for an age, I thoroughly enjoyed checking out HMV yesterday. Loads of stuff that I missed, despite scouring the release schedules with a microscope for work.

Again, off topic they only had one copy of Fantastic Factory boxset that they had both sold and it had yet to be replenished, so I drew another blank there !!

But anyway, I'm expecting a nice little packet from Amazon Prime tomorrow. I wonder is Season Two still on for two weeks time ?

Maybe we need a thread on stocking to see how people got theirs - I'm disappointed about your hmv experience.

Vol 2 will be June now - Tom will have more details for you soon!

June, that's cool.

Tried those two branches again, just out of interest, after all - one did sell its only copy. Sadly no replenishment yet, nor is there any on order.

It just arrived, and this is what it looks like. Thin case, no actual booklet just a six page leaflet offering a list of episode synopses and extras. I would have preferred the label on the front to have been removable, but it isn't.
I'm going to check an episode out over lunch.

Looking forward to seeing what you reckon after watching an episode - you know which one you're going to watch yet? I treated myself to One For The Angels last night - which reminds me I need to go leave a little review in the episodes section - I'm hoping people will join in - Twilight Zone (1960s) Season One In-Depth Episode Guide - Cult Labs

Thanks for posting that pic sweetie !!! I appreciate it. Looks very similar to the casing of the American blu , which makes me very happy. Sadly nothing in the mail yet, hoping for tomorrow.

You're welcome. Hope yours arrives soon. It's an impressive set.
