We have the first discontinued Criterion BD before us. Both the DVD and Blu-ray editions of the classic movie '
The Third Man' are listed on the
Criterion Collection site as out-of-print. Hence, the only available copies will be those already in the retail channel.
When that dries up, expect this title to become increasingly harder to find from private sellers - and expensive. As this is a widely acclaimed major movie (featured in the American Film Institute's "100 years... 100 movies" list), with a great Blu-ray release, you should run, not walk, towards a retailer or etailer and secure your copy if you don't have one by now.
Update
On Amazon, 'The Third Man' now can only bought on the marketplace from third-party sellers. However, other retailers still have it in stock, including
Barnes and Noble,
Best Buy,
Deep Discount and
DVD Pacific.

Criterion The Third Man forum discussion.
