Still waiting for a go signal from Viva. The Buena Vista team is still in Cebu for a sales conference.

I'll probably hear from them tomorrow.

any news? will they come out w/ the gift set?

same question...

No plans to come out with the gift set unfortunately. Bringing in R1 releases is a bit of a gamble for Viva right now so they're limiting the variants that they're importing.

Uhmmm, i want to preorder but the link isn't working for the preorder eh ... napaaga yata ako ng click

Sorry people, still confirming with Viva on the 2 Buena Vista titles that are being raffled off as part of the pre-order promo. Details will be up in a couple of hours.

firewired · « **Reply #35 on:** Sep 29, 2003 at 09:39 AM »

Banner is now clickable so send in your preorders guys! Promo ends on Friday since Lion King's worldwide release date is October 7, Tuesday next week.

same here, and with confirmation that I'll be getting a free cap!

siriusblack · « **Reply #43 on:** Sep 30, 2003 at 09:50 AM »

got mine a minute ago... salamat pala kay patupup for the heads up on this promo.

wala pa bang picture yung free LK cap ?

firewired · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 30, 2003 at 10:04 AM »

Sorry, no picture of the cap although Viva showed me a sample. Looked like a typical black cap with Lion King advertising on it. I'm not a cap person though, so maybe I'm not doing it justice.

All confirmations have been sent out this morning, but the next batch will be emailed by tonight. As some of you have already noticed, there's a bit of delay in keeping up with the pre-orders. Looks like we really have to invest in an online shopping cart system.

Ang saya saya!
Have they also come out with special ed dvds of other disney classics like Aladdin and Little Mermaid?

After the release of 'The Lion King' on October 7, 2003, here are the other release dates of the Platinum Collection titles: January 1, 2004 IMAX release and subsequent DVD release of 'Aladdin'. Then the Platinum Editions take a two-year vacation to the jungle with 'Bambi' in 2005 and the reissue of 'The Jungle Book' in 2006. 'Cinderella' arrives in 2007, followed by the eagerly anticipated DVD return of 'The Little Mermaid' in 2008. And then the collection rounds out by going to the dogs with 'Lady and The Tramp' in 2009 and '101 Dalmatians' in 2010.

I never liked Lion King. Only let my kids watch it. But the free cap was too much to let go

Same schedule for me to visit my favorite Astro branch at North EDSA. That's 3 tuesdays and a friday this month. Sigurado ko, hindi lang yung apat ang mabibli ko!

Gideon · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 01, 2003 at 11:07 PM »

Bakit kaya cap lang ang free, is it imported? Otherwise I'll just buy the DVD on the stores myself even w/o cap.

firewired · « **Reply #52 on:** Oct 02, 2003 at 06:52 AM »

I'm not sure if the cap is imported.

You are still buying from a store for all intents and purposes, namely Astrovision or AstroPlus. In this case, we're taking reservations for them. You still have to physically go to a selected branch, pick-up your copy and pay for it. By preordering online, (1) you get a free Disney Lion King cap; (2) you're automatically entered to win one of two Ultimate X DVDs; and (3) you are assured of a Region 1 DVD before supply runs out, since Viva is bringing in only a limited number of R1 Lion King DVDs. The rest are Region 3.

Just sent my pre order
Sana makahabol before the dead line.
Have just started collecting DVDs.
Hindi pa kumpleto home theater ko, eh.

Still need to shop for a good TV. Haaay!

Keep the promos coming! Thank you

Just received my confirmation for the pre-order
and cap. Nice, very nice! Thank you.

Anyone here na nakakuha na today? Available na ba sa astro para dun sa nagpa-reserve?

tiger · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 06, 2003 at 03:26 PM »

passed by Astro this lunch . . . tomorrow pa daw talaga delivery . .

di kasi makapag-hintay

kawboy · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 06, 2003 at 04:51 PM »

just read the mail....

so sad... can't believe that even a company as big as Viva still encounters problems with customs.

JhunDV · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 06, 2003 at 05:07 PM »

read the email, too.

lagot ako sa kids ko cause they're expecting it tomorrow na.

$:-\$

galahad · « **Reply #58 on:** Oct 06, 2003 at 05:28 PM »

firewired · « **Reply #59 on:** Oct 06, 2003 at 08:54 PM »

I was called to an impromptu meeting in Viva today and they explained what happened. The R1 sets arrived last week and have been stuck in a warehouse ever since. The strange thing is, customs allowed the R3 sets through without a problem. Apparently, the officials in charge were actually aware of the difference in value between the 2 versions. "Mainit sa mata yung packaging" was how the the R1 release was described.

The good news (sort of) is that the Amaray-cased R3 sets will be in stores by tomorrow. Retail is the usual P750. I saw them today but couldn't tell from the labels if the features were intact. If you can't wait, you may want to consider this release as an alternative purchase.
