The UK edition too is now, if not deleted, impossible to find anywhere, just a month after release. (Also, did we not already have a thread for this title? Was that also deleted? How deep does this conspiracy go? ) I know some people got copies (there's one available on eBay right now for $100+) but it seems more like a "release pulled" situation than a "sold out early from massive demand" one. I asked Arrow's customer service about it and got this coy response:

I'm afraid we don't have a release date for this film yet, but if you are subscribed to our newsletter, you will receive a notification via email.

So is the plan to eventually put it back in circulation, but there's just some rights issue or something that needs to be sorted out first? I wonder if JamesF is at liberty to say anything more about this

I saw someone post that they got a copy and it was coded Region AB. If that was accurate, it is possible that Toei made Arrow pull the release and fix the region code.

Yes, that would make sense
