Doesn't the DVD come out November 11? It will also include the new short, Dawn of the Dragon Riders.
There's been lots of release dates thrown around recently, where did you find that one?

Wikipedia. It says, "How to Train Your Dragon 2 will be released on DVD and Blu-ray (2D and 3D) on November 11, 2014. It will be accompanied by a new short film How to Train Your Dragon: Dawn of the Dragon Racers."

And I just realized I made a mistake. The short is Dawn of the Dragon Racers, and I put Riders. My bad.
