It seems clear to me the whole Warner deal has pretty much been condensed to cultivating her back catalog as well as curating special releases.  I don't mind that at all.  Because if they aren't going to spend anytime in digging up some rare things for the Expansive Re-issues, then I rather not have them. 

The attitude of some fans that any artist ‘owes’ them anything, or that they are somehow being ripped off by not having deluxe editions etc is bizzare to me. 
 

🤷‍♂️
the date has been up since May. But no other details are out for it. Not sure what it can be.
Nov 12 is also a Tuesday.
It could just be something similar to previous anniversaries: articles, social media campaigns, etc etc

I think Inside The Groove was BS in the end and probably speculating, just like the rest of us.
Obviously for some reason she doesn't feel like it at this moment. Maybe originally they were meant to go along with the biopic, as noted by some fans, but plans about them changed when the overall movie plan changed and she went on tour.
I think @steady75 commented that, but the rumored RSD "Bedtime Stories" EP will be the real test of what she and Warner are really willing to offer. If there are truly unreleased demos and stuff there or just simple edits or things we already have.

i dont have anything else other than the 2 things i already posted

What's unbelievabe is the lack of any press release about the reissues, for them being either ready to go or postponed / cancelled. Not only that, but the complete lack of mention of this plan since this whole thing even started, silence by everyone and nothing more... Are we sure we didnt collectively hallucinate on the 16th of August in 2021? It actually makes more sense for the Warner announcement to be the illusory manifestation of our delusions and meltdowns if you think about it 

It doesn’t help when certain forum members are stoking the fire by almost guaranteeing that reissues are coming and are ready to go, yet are not able to give any more info on dates etc. @deathproof is one that I trust because he has been known to offer true information. Like with the Bedtime Stories RSD release for example. 

Yes that makes a lot of sense and could well be the reason for them not materialising. 

We'd still be on time until next week for a November release but... not gonna happen. There's literally no sign or rumor about it.
That MTV upload is part of their legacy to promote this year's VMAs.
Give up on the reissues. They're not coming, at least for now. Next is "The Celebration Tour" release and the biopic.

It’s hard to say. One theory that was mentioned and did make sense was an announcement could come on the anniversary of the LAV performance at the MTV Awards, which is next Saturday 14th. I guess if that comes and goes with nothing mentioned, I kind of give up. It’s all good and well these “insiders” telling us the deluxe sets are coming and are ready, but at this point, there’s no evidence to support it and we’re getting closer and closer to the anniversary of LAV, 9 weeks to be exact.

I assume he is referring to the tour film release.

I think the announcement and preorders going live for LAV40 on her birthday was the last shot here. It would have been a perfect time to market the announcement of the first landmark deluxe set. Sadly, and this is just my opinion, I don’t believe anything of merit is coming now. It’s 12 weeks until the official 40th anniversary of the album. Surely to god, preorders would be out by now. And like some have pointed out, it has been three years since the press release announcing the deal. I am starting to think the only things we will get now are the silver vinyls. 
 
It baffles me that an artist like Madonna who has so many iconic albums, music videos, live performances and tours, has never been celebrated to the degree it should have been. This anniversary of 40 years is MASSIVE. She’s a living legend. An icon. Yet we’ve had nothing! This deal could have milked the fans. Things like The Virgin Tour and Blond Ambition, which are legendary and iconic have not been reissued since their original releases. It’s a crime! I feel like we were promised so much and have received very little in the grand scheme of things.

All of the releases thus far have been connected to an anniversary. Who’s That Girl RSD was for 35 years. Everybody 12” RSD was for 40 years. Erotica picture disc was for 30 years. FEL was the anniversary of her “50th number one”. American Life RSD for the 20th anniversary. Like a Prayer Silver Vinyl is for the 35th anniversary. And it sounds like Bedtime Stories will be celebrated by the RSD in October for its 30th anniversary. They have all been released the same month as the original release or very close to it. 
 
They are clearly aiming these releases as anniversary editions. It stands to reason that if they are going to release the LAV album as a deluxe edition, it will come in November. That’s the logic I am going by. My guess, if preorders aren’t out by the end of September, nothing of any significance is coming. Just my opinion guys. 

They announced the new deal with Warner on her birthday, 16th August 2021. Inside the Groove also hinted on his Twitter account that he thought something connected to the reissues could be announced on her birthday. 

Ok, so hear me out. I've come up with a plan. I'm looking into being cryogenically frozen and awoken on the 100th anniversary of Ray of Light. By then, everything I've been waiting for should've been reissued and everything else would've been leaked. 

Yes, I agree.  I only mention The VMA's (LAV 40th Anniversary Performance) in Sept. could be a good opportunity to announce pre-orders.  But let's remember, the LAP Silver Vinyl started taking pre-orders just recently when that album 35th Anniversary release was back in March.  So obviously they were using the Deathpool and Wolverine to connect it all.  Also, people in Canada already got their copies, so it's not far fetched to think that re-issues could be already ready to go, soon after Pre-orders start.
Anyway, anything is still possible in my opinion.

14th September is the anniversary of the LAV performance. It falls on a Saturday this year and no announcements/preorders are made at the weekend sadly.
