Thunderbean *is* tiny... and I really do love being able to share the rarest things, including the film you're talking about. We do these small sets, and continue to do them for the fans, and we've never gone back on that-- so, as in all the other sets, it will be released as soon as we're able- then all sorts of people will post a copy on the net. That's the way it goes!
If you supported the set, thank you so much. It helps make all these things happen (in the end, some sets actually break even, but many lose money. Thunderbean is a side venture with no full time employees (I work full time myself and the company has freelancers and part-time employees to run operations and restore films).
Thanks all for your patience.
The current status says that Public Domain Mouse Adventures will ship in “Early July” Will that be the first or second week of July? 😯
it's already explained that these blu-ray discs WILL be released, but that the release dates are simply to be taken with a grain of salt.
as said above, Thunderbean is a small company (despite all the support they get)
as for discs being shipped out as soon as possible with the copies that are already done, yeah, they DO......
but they have quite a workload, and usually sent multiple blu-ray sets in a batch, so everything goes out the door in a seemingly smooth manner and around the same time.
just ignore this thread, if you can't even sit still waiting for it, it will be shipped soon enough.
They are a small company, so it is crucial they don't do bad business decisions like losing one of the most valuable and crucial ressource for keeping a company afloat : trust. By constantly delaying the blu-rays and NOT shipping the ones already done to the earliest customers so that at least some people get it by the promised time (seen no one saying they got a copy yet, else it would be a released title unlike what your comment implies), you are growing a sense of distrust that'll eventually result in demands for refunds, putting the collective trust to dive down hard, making it not only even more of a nightmare for logistics (with unsold stock on top of that) than the one they're stuck with, but keeping out vital cash flow for making the adventure profitable, risking the whole company and making it so that no one ends up getting anything.

1. they aren't delaying anything, everything gets burned and artwork gets printed, then all the discs get shipped out at once.
if they literally had to sent each disc to people as soon as they were burned, they'd had to non-stop visit the post office to ship everything out 1 by 1....
meaning if you already were waiting for your orders, you'd be waiting a WHOLE lot longer now....
2. again, Thunderbean has enough custumers and blu-rays released to have a loyal fanbase, some people waited like 5 billion years for the Flip the Frog set, i'll guaratee that most people never asked for their money back.
3. there is no distrust, as that would imply Thunderbean did something to anger their fanbase, if that was the case, they would be out of business very quick, which is clearly not the case.
Public Domain Mouse Adventures is now expected to ship early August
exactly as I predicted. Keeps getting pushed back and back
I know for a fact that they MUST have a bunch of DVDs 📀 that are already done and probably sitting in a corner somewhere collecting dust. They might as well ship THOSE while the other ones are being worked on. You can’t tell me they can’t get one employee to run to the post office and ship the DVDs that are completed already.

agree. But maybe it's a legal thing and he hasn't cleared it yet and can't release it yet for some reason. My only guess for the constant delays
You know, I'm just gonna wait. I'm not going to complain about delays or anything because they don't matter in the long scheme of things. As long as I get the product at some point, I'll be fine. Now, can everyone stop complaining?

I agree with this. You guys need to stop complaining.

We could say the same about giving us updates that get our hopes down on it coming later

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind waiting 👍 I got all the time in the world. But….to be fair on all of us; instead of Thunder Bean telling us when they THINK the dvd is gonna be released and by pushing it back a month, they should simply put on their status- TBA (To be announced) I’d rather they do that than telling us that it’ll be out a certain month, and then delayed again

and as you and the other complaining person were already told before, they are NOT delaying (or withholding) anything from you, they are working on these blu-ray discs as much as they can.
they give estimated release dates on purpose, because otherwise people keep asking when something will be done.
even if they stopped doing that, and simply listed something as TBA, people would STILL constantly harrass them about said titles.
once again, the release dates have ALWAYS been ESTIMATES. and to be taken with a grain of salt.
the only ones getting their hopes up, are you guys, who don't seem to understand that small fact.
