None of my local stores have Thriller 40 in stock. Target has an empty spot on the shelf where Thriller 40 is supposed to go, associates said the delivery didn't arrive and they have no idea when it will. Walmart said their system estimates copies will arrive on Tuesday. This launch has been badly botched.

On the other hand, it seem some did receive the SACD already (eg. the person Innuendo141 quoted). But most people get "delayed" messages from their retailers. Could it be that there's more demand than what they anticipated and there are simply not as many manufactured yet? Honestly, I thought preorders for the SACD and half step would have stopped in August/September because they are limited. I don't understand how all this could have happened on such a large scale.

Limited, but still more copies manufactured of this (40,000) than any other MoFi before. So if this would sell out so quickly that would be WILD! (I have actually seen predictions earlier this year that this would sit on the shelves for long because it is too many copies for the MoFi market.)

Same. If things were straightforward it would be very strange at this point. π How many months did they have to get prepared for this? The MoFi was announced some time during the spring if I remember correctly. Months and months. π€¦π»ββοΈ

Just watched Thriller 4K for the first time. You forget how great it was. What a treat to see it like this. It's like seeing it again for the first time!
And I don't care what anyone says, Thriller the song is just a genius pop song, in the upper echelons of his canon of work. Not many songs could carry a music video for 9m40sec until you get to hear the chorus!!

It is nice to have a new release nearly 4 years after the other thing. Whether our impressions be positive or negative, it's great to have something to critique.

They finally adjusted their profile photo to Thriller 40 on Facebook. 30K+ Likes within the first one or two hours. Take this MJ Musical/Cirque ONE! LOL. (I didn't follow closely but has ever any of the latter posts got more than a couple of thousands Likes?)

They need to sort out The Making Of. Imagine watching The Making Of with your son and then finishing off with the short film all in 4K.
