Apparently it sold out in seconds. At least the scalpers went home happy though judging by ebay 😭

Bandai also announced a Digimon x Monster Hunter device which sold out almost immediately in the early hours of the morning GMT.
 
Uzumaki Soundtrack LP up for preorder:

Canceled the release or something?
 
AL, is Gundamn 79 part 2 ever getting restocked?

 
Seems like HMV have jumped the Godzilla announcement. Deluxe Edition and a steelbook.

So have Rarewaves.

I know there was some stuff about the extras not being subtitled in the earlier release, but it looks like they are in AL's releases (although, not sure if these are the same extras that people were going on about):

On disc (w/ English, French and Italian subtitles):
  • Making of the film
  • Making of VFX
  • Special program for the release of the movie “Behind the scenes: Godzilla -1.0- No.30 - Toifumono
  • Event footage (Press Conference, World Premiere Red Carpet Event, Talk event by Takashi
  • Yamazaki, etc.)
  • Trailer collection
 
Of course the black and white version is on the version that’s more than double the cost
Sigh

Damn, thanks for pointing that out. I was just about to pre-order the steelbook edition. That's so annoying, just give me both versions of the film in a standard case/box.

Is this a theme with AL? I remember the ADV dub for Neon Genesis was locked behind the collector's edition. I can imagine there are other instances. Perhaps it's a licencing thing.

A steelbook with both versions of the film + bonuses for around £40 would have been ideal. A standard edition of just the B/W version would have been nice for the same price as the regular standard edition Blu-ray. I wonder if there'll be a standard edition 4K eventually - you could mix 'n' match then (i.e., standard 4k + standard B/W Blu-ray).

But then I guess they want to gear customers toward the super mega deluxe edition by having the B/W version exclusive to that set.

This is 100% on Toho, Minus Color is locked to the expensive sets in Japan and the US too.

The Minus Color version was also exclusive to the Deluxe Edition in North America, so it's a Toei limitation. It did receive a completely separate Standard Edition release in Japan (that didn't include the regular version), but the only way to own both it and the regular in the same package was the Deluxe.

I edited my comment to mention this, a standard edition B/W version would be ideal.

IIRC the US Godzilla Store version didn't translate the booklet, but there's English text on that preview image. Whether the booklet has the same contents is a different question.

Also it's saying region B, while the US version is region free, so there are some apparent differences.
