Mikio Naruse Collection

[Finch]

Pushed back to July 1. Their social media cited production delays.

More time for us to organize our streetteaming for this release!

Whoops there goes my OrbitDVD batch of preorders.

[criterionsnob]

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have pre-ordered the BFI Ozu, Chocolat, and Naruse all in one go. Oh well, they'll get here eventually.

[Finch]

I already had to wait on the Naruse and another title because I bundled them with the Project A 4K which got delayed by 3 months. Never preordering 88 Films titles again, at least not as part of a larger order.

I haven't gotten a delivery for my pre-orders yet, but it's worth noting that swo17's rec of Atomic Movie Store most resembles OrbitDVD's layout and only has a $50 threshold for shipping instead of requiring three items. I placed a few separate orders for just two titles from the same company each (Arrow, Imprint, Severin, etc.) coming out the same months as one another, just to ensure one item doesn't hold back the others on Orbit. Anyways, as long as they're consistently legit, I'm probably going to be using them more than Orbit going forward for that reason.

I've successfully emailed Orbit before about removing an item from my order, although there were more than three items in that order

[Finch]

It seems to depend on who you get at Orbit because sometimes they've edited my orders and at others, they've point blank refused.

I got the flat refusal last time I asked. I was going to have to wait for a late-June release anyway.
