I pre-ordered Season 14 back in January from Amazon UK but now the product page says they aren't shipping to the US. All of the other online stores are showing sold out now What are the chances I'll get lucky and mine might slip through the cracks and ship out?

Apparently, and don't take this as gospel it's just what I know from the bluray collecting community, they're honouring orders placed before the ban, as are international Amazons.

Based on my experience of Amazon I think they would email you directly if there was a problem with or change to your order. If you haven't heard anything in a few days, you're probably OK.

Looks like Season 14 has been delayed in Australia. It currently has no listed release date at the moment. Series 12 ( New Series) has also been delayed from May to June it seems. This has finally been given a revised release date - June 17th. Made my day to finally know when this is coming

I haven't got the McCoy set yet because I had other financial priorities, but I've been keeping an eye on it on Amazon to try to snag it when it's relatively inexpensive. In the last five days, I've seen it go from $54.99 (Saturday) to $81.99 (Monday) to $84.99 (yesterday) to $93.55 (today). Amazon's pricing algorithm is patently absurd.

The two released Tom Baker sets, for example, are currently listed at $30.99 and $31.99, so it's not like these sets are becoming expensive out of scarcity over here.

A couple of threads confirming a supply issue with pre-orders for Season 14. Quite a few who had ordered from Zoom & Base have received cancellation e-mails as there is not enough stock to go around. This could be quite a blow to those who have a full set of releases up to now (keeping my fingers crossed as I ordered from Amazon and have a delivery date):

It has been lower than $54, though not much as of yet. It will drop to the $30 range if you wait till fall. I noticed that the Pertwee set was down around there the day, and it took a few months to drop that low.

If they did a one-off re-release of season 12 then hopefully they will do another one-off re-release of season 14 - I think the circumstances are exceptional enough to justify it

Many assumed that production would be based on the volume of pre-orders, though it seems not. The whole enterprise seems to pivot on not holding any unsold stock, otherwise the range becomes unprofitable and the plug gets plugged by the BBC:

Wow - thank you for sharing. That is amazing. Does this mean season 11 will soon be announced or am I being overly optimistic based on some, frankly fantastic, cover artwork!?

Haven't the foggiest, I'm afraid. My impression from twitter is that several sets are all being developed in parallel, so the only real mystery is "which season is next?" My intuition tells me 11 is probably amongst the next three seasons to be announced, but that's just a stab in the dark, I have no insider information whatsoever XD

As Matthew Purchase suspects (via Twitter) Season 20 seems an obvious potential 'major' release, as there is not the issue of missing episodes or restoration work required, but with a wealth of 20th Anniversary added value material to cover and with up to date contributions from people who are still very much with us.
Season 11 is overdue a proper restoration of Ep1 of Invasion of the Dinosaurs, but as it would be the last chance for an effort at CGI to do it justice, it would still need some expenditure to satisfy fans. After all, we have had lots of new effects for other releases which to my mind, were quite fine and of their time as they were (did we really need CGI sailing Ships for Enlightenment, when the original model work on film was of such good quality?), yet Invasion/Dinosaurs seems the one release which was seriously let down by effects.
I would really love to see a Sixties Season get the Blu-Ray Box Set treatment before too long, but at present Season 2, remains the most complete, yet the Animation team have apparently cited stories such as The Crusade as being costly and time consuming, due to the volume of ancillary characters and costumes needing modelling.
A round robin of sorts for posters: What releases are you most looking forward to, but also which do you see as most likely within the remaining first half (13) of the range? That is to say the next 6 releases, after Season 14.

Looks like Zoom are getting ready to take the money out of my account so S14 should be on the way soon...

Base has sent me my copy earlier than expected. I wonder how long it will take before I actually get it, given our current situation.
