2K3 DVDs No Longer Being Shipped
 

I work at Best Buy and I was stocking shelves, I noticed the only 2K3 DVD on the shelf was one copy of the Season 4 pack. The rest were the movies*Which we had tones of of* and tons of old toon DVDs.

So I figured I'd look them up, and in the Best Buy PC their status is deleted. I also noticed Wal-mart and Target no longer carry them either. If they carry any their back stock. So that means if you want any 2K3 DVDs your going to have to order them online if you want them from now on, unless your store has back stocked ones like I mentioned.

I'll try and keep you guys updated if I see any new TMNT DVDs out. I do inventory so I stock everything and we get stuff like a week before it comes out. If a store ever tells you they don't have something the day it comes out their lying. They have it their just not allowed to sell it until the street date. If they do then the company won't ship them anymore copies.

We have Gears Of War in our back but we can't sell it, and the day before FF12*I think it was* came out we sold a few copies but my manager said it was okay because they ordered it online and picked it up in the store, so keep that in mind too.

And another era comes to an end, my friends. :cry:

:o Could this be in preparation for season sets?? *crosses fingers and toes*

No because if that was the case they wouldn't have deleted TMNT 2K3 series from the stock list completely.

That is strange. Have seen some at Wal-Mart and Target. But, maybe as you say, they're backstock. Haven't checked Wal-Mart for a little, but when went to Target yesterday they had Season 4 pack, and Vol. 12 (Croc Attack). And a Best Buy had Season 4 pack, the Movies, and most of the Classic Toon Volumes.

Also of note, when my mother was checking about Sonic X Season 5 pack at a Best Buy (and asked an employee), Sonic X was also found to be "discontinued" in their system.

Edit: *Add-On* Wanted to make note of this as well. Have seen some older 2K3 TMNT DVDs at FYE, Toys R Us and, of all places, Marshalls (a few times).

I thought they stopped shipping forEVER ago. I've been saying for over a year now, that they haven't carried any 2K3 stuff around here since before Don's picture was done on the spines.

...I almost kinda figured that everyone just got them offline... *shrugs* Guess we're ahead of our time here? Or we just suck.

No, wait. We suck.

Yeah, have read your postings on that.

But nope, they've still been showing up regularly for others (myself included). Including, as noted last reply, in strange places too.

Thanks for the news, Spitfire. Our Best Buy carries the season 4 pack and a few leftover copies of Hun on the Run, but hasn't had any others in for awhile. I suppose this was inevitable :ohwell: I already have them all, but this makes it a little harder for new fans to get into the show.

If there's no 2K3, that only makes FF look better. Right?

Thanks for the info. This doesn't sound good.

Let's just hope that doesn't mean no season sets.

Took Batman Beyond forever to get a season set so who knows about TMNT. Wouldn't count on it to much unless 4Kids really wants to cash in.

They wanna make money those lazy asses should put out season sets of the episodes in order. Id even buy that after already buying all the normal DVDs.

Well this explains why I haven't been able to find any of the newer episodes. Do you have to order them online, or could you special order them through a book store or something?

This is a strange mess, just before the holidays, and the new movie coming up.

Like I said online stores carry it. Try DVDempire.com

Aww mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyn....

Oh well, the lost season will be out on DVD soon enough... or will it???

Either way this is really *$%$*^%*$%^ing me off...

Should be, I'm working until mid-January so I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

*tries to unknot his fingers and toes* Dang it! :x Well... at least I'm ready for "The Lost Season". :)

Yeah I haven't been seeing any of the older 2k3 stuff in the Best Buys around here in a long while. I go to those stores a lot yet they don't have these in stock? This is not good. :o

Surprisingly, the last DVD shop I visited -- Starstruck Entertainment, in Square One Mall -- had most (if not all) of the new 'toon DVDs in stock. Though I agree, I haven't seen many at Best Buy and virtually none at Wal-Mart.

Well, man. I feel gypped now that I know everywhere else had them and I didn't.

...I want them...

There's a sale for 40% off of all Funimation DVDs at RightStuf.com right now. These two incidents wouldn't be indications of a business on its last leg. Would it? :ohwell:
