Amazon has pulled the Dollhouse DVD.
Per the website, "...customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here." The Amazon Marketplace sellers are still selling it. ETA: The DVD is now back on sale.
While you're there, check out the first review by the antiquary, very funny.

That would be my guess, too. There's an Amazon Discussion about it.

Unless it's the little sticker on the front of the UK one that's got them all a twitter. You know, the one that says "from the creator of Buffy and Angel".

Well, there you go. It's missing the "HTML should not be taken internally" warning sticker.

(p.s. the only booklet in the UK one is an advert for other DVDs).
(p.p.s - I think they must have had some stickers left from the Serenity run)
(p.p.p.s - I obviously don't honestly think it has anything to do with the sticker...)

I complained and they pulled the DVDs from the online store (and it took a month before I got a replacement because I guess they had to order a whole new batch).

Presumably, Amazon would then suspend an item from shipping if the CS folks got enough similar complaints to suspect that something might be wrong.

Maybe a Fox lawyer got carried away and accidentally issued a C+D letter against their own DVD?
Maybe the makers of dollhouses have finally decided to defend their trademark ?
My money though, is on an Easter egg comprising a two hour sequel to 'Serenity' (and Universal aren't happy).

I own thousands of dvd's and this is the first time I've had this much trouble with anything. In fact, I've only ever had to return 2 products in my lifetime as being defective prior to this.
Now, more to the topic at hand. I had to return my Dollhouse Blu-ray because Disc 1 skipped. It looked like there was a hair or really fine curved scratch underneath the coating. But it appears that the Blu-Ray is still available on their site, so I'm not sure that has anything to do with it .

Actually, I probably should have exchanged it but I didn't. That was Future Shop, though.

By the way, anyone know who the antiquary is? Brilliant review--possibly the first time I've ever enjoyed the experience of reading an Amazon customer review.

(ultimately of course it's going to be the people that fulfilled the promo gluing that're at fault - we do that sort of thing where I work and all it takes is someone to use the wrong glue or too much of it and presto bongo, the client is a distinctly unhappy bunny)
Still, hard to say without knowing what people are actually complaining about (or were complaining about since it seems to be resolved).

And yeah, the menu is something I could do better than in iDVD, but hey. Epitaph One! Echoes! Commentaries! Behind the scenes thingies! On the whole, I think I got £19.99's worth with the last disc alone.

Oh right, somehow I missed the bit about them having been deleted. That's a pity

Man, Ghost was a really good episode.
