Are you sure it's not region blocking? Many smaller sites seem to block things from overseas to minimize their security footprint. I was able to order the Terminator disc from elsewhere in Europe. One of the extras is a 4:3 version....what is the point of this? I would understand an alternate widescreen that removes the matting to reveal the entirety of the exposed image. But introducing a heavily pillarboxed version just to add some minor headroom seems wacky. No matter, I'm just here for the main event of the Cameroned 4K with English Mono + a de-Cameroned BD with English Mono (exclusive here). I won't lie that I will also dip in to listen to Arnold deliver his lines in German.

Thanks Nicholas. Went with jpc because I'm not giving Amazon my business if I can help it. I almost bailed when I saw the $60 total after conversion but then I looked at Orbit charging $60 for Australian steelbooks from Umbrella and figured they'd ask the same for the Capelight ones. The mono track and 35mm scan better be worth it.
