This is not a joke. The Blu-ray release of Takashi Miike's
Ichi the Killer from Tokyo Shock/Media Blasters, first announced in December 2008 but delayed on several occasions, and technically released on February 23 but never physically available, appears now as in stock on Amazon.com. Indeed, many forum members report that they are getting shipping notices.
The bad news is that at the same time, the price has jumped from $16.99 to $26.49. The site's price tracker shows that its lowest price was $12.99 around the holidays.
Thanks to all who posted to inform of the new development.
