Bad News about Ninja Tribunal DVD

X · 05-19-2008, 10:18 AM

Ok so went to Best Buy today. I usually go the day before to find out how many they will have onhand of a DVD before I go buy it.

Well went there today to find out how many of the NT DVD, as well as the newest Sonic X set (The Chaos Emerald Saga,) they would be getting in.

So the guy takes the SKU from online and does an inventory lookup (usually they have these things in stock ready for sale on street date,) and it pull up -

- 0 onhand
- 0 on order
- 0 in transit

Basically zeroes across the board. He then told me that means that for the time being, or unless the SKU number happens to change between today and tomorrow, that these two DVD's, are online only.

So this is just a heads up, that unless you have other stores that are good with getting the latest TMNT's on shelves, you may have to order this one online, which is what I did.

Hope this news helps a bit. Kind of sucks though.

Same thing happened when "Day Of Awakening" came out back when I worked there. The system showed zero were coming in only a week before they were due out and then they came on time anyways. However they only got four copies and I grabbed one before they came out haha.

I wouldn't really worry Funimation are idiots about shipments and in transit really only works with electronics and stuff very rarely does it accurately show you when DVDs and CDs are coming in.

Cool. I'll take that in mind.

Question though. I went ahead and ordered them through BB.com, and if I get both tomorrow in stores, can I quickly cancel my order through the online site, and not be charged?

I placed the order this morning.

I've had my copy on preorder since March from Amazon.

Just got back from Wal-Mart. They don't have it. Bah!! I will probably find it at Best Buy when they open up in the morning.

Most wal-marts I go to have commited turtle genocide (for DVD's, toys are still there).

*Roseangelo* · 05-20-2008, 09:23 AM

I bought mine from DeepDiscountDVD for less than $11 with free shipping and no tax... It'll be a week or so before I get it, but I can handle that.

Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle · 05-20-2008, 11:34 AM

Went to Best Buy. It was a bust. Only available online. Then I went to Target. Couldn't find it there and I was about to give up. Then I saw it for 10.89. Paid a total of 11.78 total for the set. Not bad. Cheaper than Best Buy had it online for. So go to Target if you can't find it.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 05-20-2008, 12:26 PM

I have terrible luck in stores so I always pre-order from Amazon. They said mine was shipped yesterday or the day before I should have it very soon

Same here. I remember not too long ago people were being told that they were unneededly "freaking out" because Wal-Mart hadn't picked up the latest 2k3 DVDs yet. Guess those people were right to freak out.

I wouldn't say it's right to freak out, because it's just a dvd and just because one store doesn't have it doesn't mean you should run around like a chicken with your head cut off acting as if the world is coming to an end..I mean really it's just a dvd.

karailynn · 05-20-2008, 03:47 PM

Target does have the DVD!!!
I ran all around today to Borders, Best Buy, Walmart...and not a one of them had it. I never even thought to check Target...b/c my Target doesn't carry any TMNT dvds. They did for a time..then they dropped them. Same with Walmart. I came here and saw that someone else had gotten theirs at Target...so I decided to go..thinking my Target wouldn't have it. But, long behold...they did!
So, if anyone has trouble finding TMNT..go get it at Target!

Nobody was freaking out, though. People were just like "It's not a Wal-Mart yet. WTF, mates? That's not cool."

I don't really remember anyone acting like the world was gonna end.

My Best Buy immediately told me it was online only this morning, as soon as I asked. Someone else must've asked for it as well. And then my Target didn't have it in either, even though a place was set for it on the new kids releases shelf. They told me to try again tomorrow.

**Jester** · 05-20-2008, 04:19 PM

Got mine at Target. They've been pretty good at having the new Turtle releases, including the ones for the OT.

Wow that is odd guess they had a falling out with 2K3 DVD sales. Sad, sorry guys things have changed quite a bit since I worked there.

I ordered mine off Amazon and got it this morning. Haven't watch it yet but awesome artwork inside.

*ToTheNines* · 05-20-2008, 06:43 PM

Could someone be so kind as to post some pics of the spine, back, and inside?

Oh but they did though, one person was all OMGZ THE SKY IZ BE FALLIN"!!
And then it went on from there, it was a very annoying day because of that.
I was trying to calm people down by sying calm down if you can't find it there you may find it at another place, I mean really there's no need to get upset if you can't find it.
If we all know it's being released on a certain day, call ahead first then go to the store that has it if they do.
If they don't and you didn't take the time to call ahead or go to a store that you planed on going to from the start, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.
Frankly I save myself allot of time and wasted gas by just buying the dvd's online.

.

The last TMNT release...season 2 part 1. Didn't get shipped/stocked at my Best Buy until two months after it was supposed to be released. No one else around me carries TMNT (I was SHOCKED Target had Ninja tribunal)...so I figured they just weren't going to be a regular in stores. But, about two months after they were set to be released they restocked the TMNT season 1 and put out season 2. Best Buy isn't really on top of getting their TMNT, it doesn't seem like (maybe that's just mine..)

*DrSpengler* · 05-20-2008, 10:10 PM

Yeah, I work at a Best Buy and checked RSS for the DVD as soon as I got into work this afternoon. The "0 in transit" part disappointed me the most, since that means we aren't getting any in for the forseeable future. I'll just have to keep my eyes open and check RSS whenever I go in.
