they have been up a couple of min early sometimes. Also Twilight Time new release section.

I only see a new release section on the home page. In fact, I don't see the words twilight time anywhere. I have to type it in the search box to see the list of TT titles.

I did my first ever free signed copy with Breaking Away earlier this month (still waiting for it to leave 'pending' status) and if I recall correctly, it did go up a few minutes early.

I believe I kept hitting refresh under the 'new titles' tab until it showed up, added it to my already pre-loaded cart and also I had already entered my credit card info to my SAE account as well to quicken my checkout process.

Others had recommended to do so as opposed to checking out with PayPal as it slows down (a little) the check-out process and the free autographed title could have been 'sold out' under my feet (though it apparently wasn't as likely with a non-science fiction/horror title like Breaking Away). Still, I think it sold out in under 15 minutes.

EDIT: It looks like most of these showed up on Amazon on 18 Apr 2015.

I love how the Barnes listings look so ancient and contain the wrong movie for "The Firm"

I think it is fine if TT wants to sell outside of SAE if that is the case, but I think they should discount the titles a little more direct thru SAE that way they can keep more sales closer to them rather then the 3rd party distributors. (again mainly because I missed out on the major sale prices last month)

When 4 o'clock comes (it was 4:01 last month when I did Breaking Away) type the title in search, a separate listing should come up at $0, add it to your cart which is already loaded with your other titles before hand, then check out stat

If you scroll down the homepage, there is a "New DVD and Blu Ray releases" section. If you notice above that heading, there are little tabs for various labels including Twilight Time (TT titles should actually be showing since it is the first label tab). $0 Miss Jean Brodie will show up there to add to cart at the designated time (or a few min before).

Okay. I see it. I was looking at the labels on the left side of the page. I should have noticed it though. Thanks!

I was hoping the low quantity would be updated before the 4 PM signature sale. I don't want to miss out on titles like Hard Times, Blue Max and The Driver. But the way U Turn and The Bounty have been selling, I wonder how close they are getting to 3,000. Maybe I should just order them all if I can convince the wife.

I think it's great that there are TT titles available cheaper at other retailers. These other retailers offer frequent coupons to bring the price down even lower and offer free shipping on $35 or so orders. This will definitely curtail my pre-orders from SAE now. Why spend $30+ from them (SAE) and wait weeks, when you can order at your leisure from the others and possible get $5-$10 off the price of the title. TT is definitely working with others to move titles and expose their label. Sounds good to me. Seems like a win-win, no??

I found that odd too that BN showed VHS covers from the search results ... that only seems to happen if they also have an VHS entry linked to those movies (although the VHS listings don't seem to use those covers).

However, clinking on the links takes you to the correct Blu-ray listings with the correct UPCs.

Twilight Time has released their latest low quantity list and I have updated the first post.

[Show spoiler]Normally I would wait to do this on my home computer after work since I don't log on to this site during the day through the corporate network. I went ahead and updated using my iPhone since there is a signed promo this afternoon. This is the first time I have updated the first post using my phone. It turned out to be a major pain in the azz with so much data in the editing window to maneuver past. Lock ups galore and delayed response. I don't think I will be doing this again in the future. Too much chance for accidental screw ups on my part

Anyone know how many are left of the way we were, Yentle and the buddy holly story?

Just received my copy of The Way We Were and was horrified to find it comes in one of those cheap flimsy eco cases

That's odd as that title was released in Nov 2013 and, from what I recall, it wasn't until Jan 2014 that the releases came in eco-cases and TT quickly rectified this for future releases.
