Wizard of Oz 4K HDR

The Wizard of Oz was available briefly in 4K HDR. After only a day at most, it has disappeared from the Store. Has anyone heard of a problem as to why this may have happened? The disc is due out on Tuesday. Perhaps, this was not meant to be released early. Hopefully, it is something along those lines rather than a problem with the encode.

It does look fantastic from the portions I have seen!

The same had happened with Batman & Batman Returns(Warner releases) in June 2019. Released in 4K a bit earlier and then gone. I remember, as I was surprised by the lack of upgrade pricing from HD to 4K when they first showed up(Warner always offers it). Both Batman movies showed back up three days later with the digital offer/upgrade to 4K for $15.99.

It may be the same case now with The Wizard of Oz as no 4K upgrade pricing was offered while available. My two cents....

I paid the upgrade price as it was available when I looked.

Very strange. We'll see if it is back tomorrow or soon thereafter.

Thanks Wayne, strange indeed.... I didn't have the possibility. I may own a different version that does not qualify for the digital offer.

There is something odd though. Browsing the store I see the movie and although I own it there is a $22.99 price tag. I click on it, the pop up window comes up and I only have the option to download. I also see that the movie is "Already Owned - Purchased in Blu-ray quality on September 29th, 2013 at 7:55pm CET for $1.99. I have uploaded the screenshots. Not sure what's happening here.

Now that you have confirmed that the upgrade price was available, I will see with K support in case I don't have the possibility to upgrade when the movie shows back up to the Store.

It is now available again. Still no upgrade price for me, I guess that I have another edition. No big deal, I will nevertheless send an email to K support as I am curious.
