Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort : Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

I heard about the recall the other day, and being a collector, my interest was piqued; checked the store to see if they had a copy left, and they did— only one. Went up to the register, and while the Wrong Turn 2 and 3 Blu-rays that I was getting (on sale for $3 each!) scanned just fine, Wrong Turn 6? Nope. Didn't come up in their system. Upon further inquiry, they got a "do not sell" code to pop up on their screen, and they refused to sell it to me. I understood that they legally couldn't, but at the same time, they should've had them off the shelves in the first place if it was a legal matter. I was especially angry after the clerk in the check stand next to mine told us that he had sold five copies of it to a guy about an hour earlier. I didn't even want it for the re-sale profit (of course people are peddling them online for 50 bucks a pop), I just wanted to get it before it was gone so I could have one, as there's a chance the injunction could sink it from getting re-released.

Luckily, I was able to get one through Hastings, but it was almost $30. At first I thought I would end up getting a notice and refund from them, but they shipped it out tonight, so I've thankfully secured a copy for myself. I checked a couple other stores around town— Target, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart— and while all of their websites had it listed as "in stock," when I arrived at the stores they didn't have them. So, just FYI, if anyone is still wanting it, Hastings currently is selling them— I'm not sure how, considering every other store on the face of the planet isn't. Just another reason for me to love Hastings more than I already do; unfortunately the closest one to me is four hours away!

Thanks for that! Just found it. Well I'm on a site called gohastings, but its there so pretty sure its the right one. I just hope now that they will deliver overseas.

I actually found the box set 1-6 on Amazon a few weeks back for $16 but I needed to get to work and didn't worry, just thought I'd order it another time. A few days later I hear its been banned because of a picture they used in the movie or something? And it was impossible to get, even off ebay or amazon.

Surely their going to re-release it though? If they just cut out the picture part?

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

I'm thinking they probably will re-release it, but you never know. Fox may not want to bother. Either way, it'll be cool to have a copy of the original film with the "banned" image in it. I read in an article that there is a missing person's flyer that is seen on a bulletin board in the film, and they used an image of an elderly woman who had actually gone missing and was found dead in Ireland. It's idiotic that they'd even use an image of that nature without expecting a problem, but that's the reason why Fox pulled it. Actually kind of creepy when you think about it. There was an injunction filed in Ireland, and I think Fox voluntarily pulled the plug on it.

It is indeed creepy, but what are the odd's of that?

It all seems a bit far fetched. Wouldn't it be easier for Fox to just pull the scene and compensate the family? That's clearly how the whole thing with the picture has come out right? A family member of this woman has spotted it? It sounds like their going to try and sue Fox. Which might not go down so well for them. I doubt Fox used the picture knowing that is was a missing/dead person.

And turns out I wont be able to get a copy. I was going to call Hastings today to see if they would deliver overseas (I'm in Australia). But I need a region 4 copy.
I'm guessing your American and US is region 1. It wouldn't work in my DVD player or laptop.

So I guess I'm going to have to wait for the re-release.

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

UPDATE:

I went to another Best Buy today on a whim— not looking for Wrong Turn 6 because I assumed they wouldn't have it on the shelves— and lo and behold, I see a single copy of the Blu-ray staring at me on the horror shelf. I figured since I'd been turned away by the other Best Buy store that it wouldn't hurt to try and see if I could pass through. Brought it up to the register expecting the girl there to tell me there was a problem, but nope; she scanned it as usual, and said "Alright, $19.99." I couldn't believe it. Still baffled by it because I had assumed that all Best Buys were notified not to sell the film, but one slipped through the cracks!

Also: I saw a copy at Barnes & Noble as well, but it was $29.99.

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

I don't want to make you mad, but I bought one a Target today. It was the last copy there, and well, it went through just fine.

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

I didn't even know there was a sixth one lol! I found it in the $5 bin at Walmart a couple of weeks ago...

He was probably trying to do you a favour.

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

That's funny, this just popped up on Netflix, I noticed the blurry missing persons board and thought that was odd, thought I'd come here to see if anybody had a reason for it. Here it is.

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today

I bought mine tonight at a walmart for 7.50$


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

Re: Best Buy refused to sell this to me today
