DIsappointed in Disney - No Love Rant

[not_hathor]

You all remember how excited I was back in November about Disney FINALLY releasing 'Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow' (aka 'The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh') on DVD? Well, I went to the local Best Buy over lunch on the release date, only to find empty racks with Title and Sales Price attached where it should have been. The floor assistant couldn't tell me when they might get more in, but suggested I check back at the end of the week. Got the same story at the BB across the river.... so for past couple weeks, I've been haunting the Best Buys, the Borders and Barnes and Nobles stores, WAL-Mart -- any place I could think of that might have carried it...

Turns out it was a LIMITED EDITION, and has ALREADY BEEN DISCONTINUED BY DISNEY not even a month later....I can't find it ANYWHERE!!!!!



DISNEY, I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!! DO you have ANY idea how long I've wanted that Movie, how long I've LOVED it.... SINCE 1963 when I first saw it on my parent's black-and-white TV set three Sunday Nights in a ROW..... I HATE you for getting my middle aged middle class hopes up, then yanking the prize away..... "LIMITED EDITIONS"......

NO LOVE,

Me



12/07/08 - EDITED for embarrassing and childish use of the "F" word.

Hallo, Jayne, long time no see..... How have things been going for you lately?

I do apologize for the bad language, I was so frustrated and disappointed last night.

I've not had very good luck with either Amazon or Ebay but I may have to give it a try again. I really wanted to get "Dr Syn" for my husband for Christmas!!!
