Ah, yes I had forgotten about Starway (I think P4 was made under this name and P3 under Silver Sphere).
Thanks for the info.

Kick ass! The new transfer beats the AB UK transfer by a long shot! The menus are cool too! The transfer may be better but the AB UK DVD is still the better purchase & better-made DVD by a long shot. It's still the definitive DVD until we start bugging people to give us a better release of Phantasm II.

so i get out to walmart. Nothing. so i scoot over to Kwhopper, Nothing. I even stop at the local movie place, and they dont even have it to frigging RENT. SOOOOOOOOOOO...I have waited 6 months, i can wait another week till go to best buy in the big town over. I think i may cry. ...PS and even if i would order it, unless i spent buco bux to have it overnighted, it woud still be a d**n week before it got here. as a matter of fact, i think i will cry. And thats another thing. Walmart here has every other friggin DVD known to man, but noooooooooooo not that one. I am going to pre order night of the creeps so this does not happen again. I thank Dustin & Co. for posting that for me, so i have something to keep me going for another week.

You could order it from Amazon and get expedited shipping...
I knew Wal-Mart wouldn't have it. They didn't have Oblivion when the AB disc hit.

i would pay out the behiney for expidited shipping for something that wouldn't get here until the end of the week anyway. I am gonna suck it up and just be that more excited when I do have it in my hot lil mits. my walmart here has a huge movie section, it really surprised me, they had the monster squad when it came out.

So far my only gripes are the cover art and the sphere orientation. But I suppose that at least the menu and cover match. The special features are not a big issue, since I already have those with the sphere set. The audio I could really don't mind too much. And the transfer looks excellent. So all in all, a good release with a few minor flaws, but what release doesn't have them? I don't really care for the AB R2 DVD menu's, I guess there is always something they could improve on, from a consumer's POV.

What's odd about it not being at Wal Mart is that they have it listed on their website. www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11992556I'll likely go check it out today, and if they don't have it I'll check Target. If that fails, I'll order online or make my way over to Best Buy sometime soon.

Well, the mall didn't have it. So I decided to order Phantasm II online (along with the new editions of Army Of Darkness, and Friday the 13th Parts 7 and 8). I should get in a few days.

MrsLeGros, why not do Site to Store, it will save you on shipping?

You gave up after only checking 1 place? I called the mall actually and FYE nor Best Buy didn't have Phantasm II. I Blockbuster too and they didn't have it and I'm sure K-Mart and Target don't have it. Amazon.com was my last resort.

Just got back from Wal Mart and Target. Zero luck at both places. I'll just have to order online or travel to the next town over for Best Buy.

Sorry for the bad luck, guys and gals. I know that the Best Buy down here didn't have it, so it might be delayed for some reason. Or maybe this is some evil trick by Universal.

Tony, Best Buy's website allows you to search their store inventory. The Saginaw and Grand Rapid Stores both show P2 as being instock. Best Buy's website, however, shows the film as being backordered.

Dustin, I had them backwards. Starway was used for P3 and Silver Sphere for P4 (not that anyone really cares, it was just bothering me all day). Love the new avatar!

EDIT: Say Dustin, just 2 things. Could you please show us the back cover art of the DVD and the disc art if it's not too much trouble and will there be a Phantasm On DVD page for the new revamped Phantasm Archives? Thanks in advanced.

Thanks in advanced. Bigphan, I'm shocked and bewildered (and charmed) that you noticed so quickly that I'd revamped the Phantasm Archives main page. It was an attempt to get rid of that iFrame and streamline the news portion of the page. I do plan to update the DVD section with P2 soon and when I do, re-link it on the main menu. When I get home tonight (won't be for good several hours), I'll post disc art and back cover on the forum here.

The Best Buy here didn't have the P2 either but told me I could order it. Yeah right! So I went to FYE and picked up a copy.

Went to my local BEST BUY... They didn't even order any. So I ask them to look at other stores in my area and the only stores that had any were at least 40 minutes away. So I 1st try WALMART and they don't have it ... d**n. So I drive to another BEST BUY 40 minutes away and they have about 17 copies. Well after all that driving at least I got it. Mike
