Christmas being not that far away, it is possible that stores will started raking a few copies of diverse titles too. So probably, if there's enough demands for it, they'll order a few NCS sets.

Reason I did not want to order from stores was my stubbiness, I really think stores locally (in a city) should have had this on show the first day it was released and not to have to go begging for it.
Anyhow, as soon as i got home I ripped the cellophane off and delicately perused the contents, similar packaging as other Carlton products such as UFO, no postcards or inserts though.
The first thing I knew about but didn't like, no chapters, making it slightly longer to get to a given point. Reason being, the first thing I wanted to se were the credits! They were ok but not a patch on the original.
The next thing was the sound, Ohh my god!! "This is the voice of the Mysterons" in Booming DD 5.1.. Fantastic! Picture quality so far seems first class although I only got a 28" wide screen.
No MOM to contend with either, at last.
Great value and a great series, cant wait for the second and hopefully not the last.

No doubt this will be sold shortly especially as the ranking usually improves greatly over the weekend after the latest episode of Series 2 goes out on MoM!

Yeah, I did the same thing.
I've had the blasted thing on order from HMV for nearly 2 weeks now. Then, a couple of days back, I got an email saying...
'Unfortunately the items below are not currently in stock and we have ordered them for you from our supplier.
The items are:
<%artist%> <%title%> <%format%>
We are staying in contact with the suppliers and once we receive the items in our fulfilment centre we will ship the items to you immediately. You may check on the progress of your order by logging onto your account on the HMV web site.'
Dunno what all that '<%artist%> <%title%> <%format%> ' stuff is about, I hope there's not a glitch with my order.
If they've got my order listed on their system as '<%artist%> <%title%> <%format%> ' how will they know what to send me?
I mailed them about it 4 days ago but they haven't replied.
I'm getting a bit peeved about this now, I was soooo looking forward to this set!

Since HMV have seemingly sold out too I'm left wondering whether they've actually pressed enough copies!
The way things have gone with this show it wouldn't surprise me.

I would think it means that the store didn't order enough copies from the distributor/wholeseller or Granada itself, whatever. Amazon probably didn't expect this title to sell that quickly - it's still very high in the sale list, considering the hundreds of thousands of titles Amazon has available!
'More will be available' suggests they order more copies. Just cross your fingers not to see the dreaded 'Back order'... You wouldn't know when they'll have the title available then.
