Thank you to everyone that has been participating in the release of the film, it has been an interesting ride.
A disappointing thing we recently found out in regards to selling the film on the Bones Brigade site was that we are unable to sell it to our friends in Australia.
A little history. Early on, after the Sundance Film Festival, we secured a distribution deal with a company in Australia to distribute the film in Australia and New Zealand. This gave them sole rights to distribute the film there.
We tried to figure out a way to continue to offer the film from our website, but we just couldn't work it out. The film distributor has provided these links for our Australian and New Zealand friends to pre-order.

Unfortunately, items on the Bones Brigade site that were bundled with the film also couldn't be purchased. Items like the signed Skull & Sword deck bundle, the signed Ripper deck bundle, the T-shirt/Trucker hat bundle, anything that had the film bundled in it.
We do have plans to offer a few completes signed by the team, and those won't be bundled with the film to give everyone a chance at them. If we are able to get more decks signed by everyone, we will make sure they are not bundled with the film.
Nevertheless, it has been exciting and interesting going on this adventure with you. Thank you for all your enthusiasm and support. The film releases next month. Australia and New Zealand

posted on 11/1/12 6:11 PMThis is a big disappointment as the film was going to be a birthday present for someone here in Oz. Seems the Aus/NZ distributer is shooting themselves in the foot as they won't be cashing in in the great promo work you guys have been doing! A lot of people down here will simply forget about it unfortunately. Not really your fault I know, but a debacle nonetheless. All it needs is the Benny Hill music to make it an outstanding farce! Oh well. It's a shame. Australia & NZ would be a decent sized market too, based on the skating culture here.

posted on 11/1/12 7:19 PMHi Stacey,
Thank you for you reply to my email on shipping to Australia. I totally understand now, why Australia was not in the drop-down option. Because of the movie bundle. Only wish I new this earlier to be able to score one of the Team Signed Decks.
Hopefully your able to release another set, because I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want one to add to my son's Powell & Peralta collection.
Please could you let me know via email (rilencik@gmail.com) if you have one to release (Thank you).
Also, could you please advise on the Shipping / Handling / Tax costs to send to Australia, as I'm wanting to place an order for the Rodney Muller Re-Issue deck.
Thanks & Regards

posted on 11/2/12 9:19 PMAlso do you plan on offering Australians and New Zealanders exclusive ordering of the stuff we couldn't order. Does it seem fair to you that we can't order some stuff, and the things you have generously not bundled with the film are available to everyone (meaning we will probably miss out).

posted on 11/3/12 2:16 PMHi, I paid for a dvd/download when these were first made available. I live in New Zealand. I have the email receipt which states I have paid. Is this going to be honored or will I be getting a full refund?
Thanks
Thanks

NOT HAPPY HOPSCOTCH (AUS DIST))
posted on 11/5/12 3:35 PMI don't understand, I have a receipt that says I've purchased the STACY PERALTA COMBO PACK. Are you telling me now that because Hopscotch Australia purchased it at Sundance, I can't get the PACK filled with all the goodies that the Bones site offered. THIS SUCKS. YOU NEED TO HONOR YOUR COMMITMENTS TO THE FANS THAT GOT IN EARLY AND PURCHASED THESE ITEMS. If it's a BLURAY distribution issue, then refund the cost of the discs, but PLEASE send the rest of the package on!!!! Thanks.

posted on 11/5/12 4:05 PMThat is really heartbreaking. I managed to order the first run of signed decks. I have been following news on this movie since before production began. Today is the day the movie would become available here in NZ by downloading and now I get this news.
Things like this don't come around often. I honestly thought I was very lucky. Talk about being shit on.

I'm located in AU. I purchased the Skull and Sword signed deck, bundled with the DVD/Blu-Ray. Can you please confirm if we can remove the Movie from the bundle and still receive the deck? Ultimately the deck was all I was after when I made the purchase, the DVD bundled in was secondary, because if I don't get my pre-ordered signed deck I'm going to be devastated. I was like a kid on XMAS morning when I made the purchase.

posted on 11/6/12 12:31 PMSo we can wait a month and pay twice as much, or download a pirate version now, for free. I'd really like to support this sort of thing but you're not making it easy!

posted on 11/6/12 12:58 PMAny idea when this distributor is planning on releasing it here? I'm not really down with the pre-order thing if I don't know when it will be coming. If your not sure, can we get the distributors name so I can follow up with them? My bro went to the premier in London last week, pretty disappointed that there wasn't one here in Sydney.

posted on 11/9/12 12:40 AMTotally massive let down.
We get screwed in Aus with middle men/distributor arrangements all the time.
If they had a digital download, at a similar cost, it would be a little better but alas.
The other let down is that this just encourages people to download it illegally. Not that its the right thing to do, but just sayin'.. might have been a good idea to ensure the 'distributor' arrangement included a similar release date, and method, as the rest of the world can enjoy with this film.

Agree with above... guess I'll just go for a skate..

posted on 11/12/12 7:16 AMOh man. I was just putting my order in and I'm looking for Australia on the list and I see fucking Antarctica and Zimbabwe but no Australia, went back and saw the notice, major let down, I was all pumped to watch this now. I'm going to get a mate to buy it from the UK and send it to me so I don't give a cent to those cunt distributors, what a bunch of assholes.

Once again Australia is screwed.
