Ordered! Thank you for posting this.

Nice. Now, if they would just do a similar reprint of The Velvet Vampire ...

But I presume they own Attack of the Crab Monsters outright through their portion of the Corman catalogue, while Velvet Vampire is likely with some other entity?

Get it while you can. They did a great job with this one

Especially the one with the

I ordered yesterday and was surprised to get a shipping notice this morning, although USPS just has "label created" -- who know when they will actually send it.
Update: Delivered to PO 6/18 (day after purchase), but it's Media mail, estimated to arrive in 7 days. "Standard shipping" cost me $6.99 and it's Media mail? I think Shout ships in a box, though, so maybe that's OK.
Update 2: Delivered this morning (6/20)! For those that care: It was shipped in a manilla envelope with plastic bubble wrap liner. No damage to the case.

I bought it in the initial release. It’s a pretty low budget monster movie, but it is pretty entertaining. It’s a childhood favorite from back when regular tv would air sci-fi, horror and western classics.

[Trekkie313]

Bullshit that it was limited.

The link in my first post was changed, or stopped working, so here's the current one:

Down to just $16.19! If you haven't picked this up yet, there is no better time. I just bought it myself. There are 511 copies remaining.

455 copies remaining now, so the sale is definitely helping to move inventory.

Yeah, of course it went on sale right after I blew 25 bucks on it. Ah well. I didn't want to miss it again!

I bumped the She-Creature thread too, as that one is also on sale for $16.18. I'm not sure if you picked that one up yet, but great time to get it! 66 copies remaining.

I’ve always wanted to see this movie, but I’m not nearly as familiar with that one. It doesn’t sound like it has a good rep. I’ll read the thread again, thanks for the heads-up!

Got my order delivered just now. SF now down to 398 copies, so over 100 sold since this post 4 days ago.

Good price, what it should have been from the start. I'm glad they brought this title and Space Truckers back. I wish they'd so another run of The Ninth Configuration.

I actually reached out to them a couple years back to ask them to bring Crab Monsters back, so maybe if I do the same with Ninth they'll listen to me

Please do! That shouldn't have been limited to begin with.
