The Hack To Buying The Sphere Collection On Amazon

This Summer - THE BALL CAME BACK! The much beloved (and elusive) Phantasm Sphere Collection Blu-Ray set became available on Amazon for the first time. If you haven’t been following the long saga of this release our previous blog post will catch you up.

Amazon went live with pre-orders earlier this month and there was an overwhelming response from devoted PHANTASM fans grabbing the sold-out set for the first time since 2019.

However, we have also heard from fans that SOME Amazon shipments have been delayed to August. We looked into and got some answers.

Have you heard the news lately about supply chain nightmares for products due to the shutdowns last year? One only needs to read these stories in The Wall Street Journal or USA Today to learn about it. We looked into it and heard from the distributor that unfortunately even The Tall Man is not immune to these disruptions. Due to global supply chain issues Amazon is simply backed up with shipments. In fact we got confirmation that the sets are at Amazon waiting to be accepted and then sent out to fans.

Due to this demand it seems like Amazon has made it a bit trickier to actually pre-order the set. Even worse is there are lots of re-sellers selling overpriced aftermarket versions of the set at exorbitant prices. We want to make sure you are getting the right one so here is the step-by-step guide to order:


STEP 1 - Visit this direct link to Amazon. It will not show up in the search. There are many re-sellers selling this set. You want to find the one listed for $129.96 and click on that price tag.

STEP 2 - After clicking on the price tag — ONLY “Add To Cart” the set that “Ships from” and “Sold By” Amazon

STEP 3 - This is what your cart should look like after you add it.


Now if you want to avoid Amazon completely and get a set in your hands immediately SOME local Best Buy stores have limited stock at their stores for pickup.

We are now hearing reports from fans that the elusive set has been showing up at Best Buy stores across the country. As Reggie Bannister once sang: HAVE YOU SEEN IT? A nice bonus is it is even cheaper than Amazon!

In fact a search of New York stores on-line shows several stores with multiple copies available for pickup! Check your local store by clicking here.
