FWIW, it's not much but it's better than a kick in the ass.

Thanks. I'd started to wonder if B&N had abandoned coupons altogether.

[fdm]

I never get them, but they still do email out single-use coupons periodically. (They have unique codes on them, unlike the one above.) I'll be bugging them in a few weeks to see if they can get mine going again (think I got one or two a few years back).

[HistoryProf]

They've been doing 15 or 20% off coupons for members - but only about once a month. Last time was Easter weekend. nothing since then. They have scaled back considerably with those.

I got one today, actually.

Finally was able to get all the recent OOPs I needed. Got Leon Morin (Blu) from ebay, Le Cercle Rouge (Blu, upgrading my DVD) from Barnes and Noble's website, and Le Doulos from importcds. Each new and sealed for less than $30! \:D/

I got that email an hour after I posted that - and a day after buying Army of Shadows and Le Cercle Rouge at a B&N #-o

Yeah I got mine after ordering The Beatles in Mono Box Set. Woulda saved 30 bucks!

my Marienbad was beat to shit so I guess i will switch to the keepcase

I work at a B&N and my coworker sent back all the OOP blurays while I was on vacation, yet hoarded the DVDs (he has a refusal to buy a Bluray player) for himself. what a jackass..he hasn't even purchased any of them yet

[rwaits]

For anyone else who ordered from DD the day of the announcement ... I just got a shipping notice on Mafioso & Le Doulos. I'm surprised considering these quickly went to backorder.

[PfR73]

I also just got my Deepdiscount shipping notification for an order I placed on March 30th for Mafioso & Le Doulos, so hopefully you get yours soon, HistoryProf. The only Blus I was missing were Marienbad, which I received from Amazon last week & Leon Morin, which I got from B&N using the Easter coupon the day of the OOP announcement.

Why would he send them back? Aren't they allowed to still sell what they have in stock?

Marienbad (ordered Mar. 29) finally arrived from Amazon. Edges bent and the cover has large brown specks on it. I haven't taken the shrink wrap off yet. Odd that the case would have left with any sort of stain on it. Might it be a re-shrinkwrapped used copy? Would Amazon do that? The shrink wrap doesn't have any stickers of any kind on it.

Haven't opened it yet, as my backup B&N order just shipped so I'll have two and keep the one that looks better.

That does seem odd. My Marienbad came from Amazon last week and didn't have any such issues. It had a big white sticker on the front with Resnais' signature.

Glad others did too....I really didn't think these would come through. and with that coupon to get Leon Morin and Mafioso for $43 is a steal.

Only outstanding order now is Le Cercle Rouge on Amazon. That'd now be superfluous, but maybe it can help pay for the others. :-"

ETA: oddly, the DDD charges remain gone from my card...that's awfully odd, especially for them. Anyone else not charged before getting the shipping notice?

Curiously, this has also happened to me. I got a ship confirmation email this morning for my Leon Morin blu, but my credit card hasn't been charged. Stranger still, when I click on the tracking link in the email, it takes me to my order history on the site...where it says the item is still stuck on backorder...

Reading these posts make me love Amazon Prime all the more than I already do. My Marienbad and Le Doulos arrived the Monday after the oop announcement and in a box, rather than an envelope or other cheap packaging.

Well hell, as of now, DD is giving me and HistoryProf free OOP blus, how can you beat that?!

In all seriousness, whenever possible- 98% of the time- I order from Amazon. They treat their customers and product right. I only do DD when they have an offer I can't refuse.

[PfR73]

Does the "backorder" on the Marienbad replacement case page on the website mean that it is gone for good. I see Chungking and Man Who Fell To Earth are still in stock. Any educated guesses on this based on what might have happened when those titles got announced as OOP? I just ordered two of them (the Marienbad cases), and the estimated delivery date was at the end of April.

I ordered my Marienbad case about a week ago, when it showed backorder, & just got my shipping notification, so they're not gone for good.

Mafioso and others are listed as being back in stock now or early next week again at Amazon.

Yeah, I only used DD for those two because of the $10 off $50 coupon. They are taking orders for Le Doulos too and the price is $4 lower than Amazon's.

Incidentally, the charge for the backorder I got a shipping notification for is back, so I think we're good. That $10 off $50 coupon still makes it a better deal than Amazon, and I don't mind waiting for stuff like this.

Orders placed and two copies each of AoS and LMP (bought pre and post coupon) being prepared for return to local B&N. Thanks.

That seems dangerous to me. why not wait to return them? Hard to trust an order based on "will be in stock on April 17th"

Agreed -- there is a 14-day return policy so I will make sure the Amazon thing pans out before heading back to the store. I'm sure in a previous century I would have made an excellent hunter or gatherer, but alas this is what we are reduced to. Heh.

Army of Shadows is gone again. Le Cercle Rouge and Marienbad have the dreaded "ships in 1 to 3 weeks"

Leon Morin is the only one showing in stock.

I got some birthday Amazon cash today so was going through the blu ray section - amazingly Army of Shadows is #62 overall right now - which is probably why it's gone again.

[jbeall]

Hm. When I was browsing amazon.com earlier today, they were offering Marienbad, Leon Morin, and Le Cercle Rouge for ~$76 as a package deal. There was no price difference to order them individually, I should add. Since I already own the last title, I ordered the first two and am curious to see whether or not they actually ship them...

[mfunk9786]

Leon Morin, Priest is straight-up In Stock.

[HistoryProf]

I placed an amazon order for Le Cercle Rouge on 3/29 - even with the apparent resupply yesterday they changed my delivery estimate to May 2nd. I'm guessing I won't be seeing that delivery.

Le Doulos also in stock!
