Yes.

Not a very safe assumption. You probably should email them to see if they will even do it.

I actually believe another poster was quoted $15 per replacement case for overseas delivery... I definitely would not assume that it is the same $5 price for international customers.

[Kevtronn]

Ordered all 9 replacement cases

Those of you who have ordered the replacement cases, I am curious what your thoughts are on what to do with the old cardboard cases?

[Clamps]

for international buyers:

"Please note that we are temporarily out of stock on all cases and expect more to arrive next week. The cost for the replacement cases is $15 per case for international customers; this includes the cost of shipping. For multiple cases we offer a discount of $30 for the first two and $2.50 for each additional case beyond that (so, for instance, $32.50 for three cases)."

[kobeson]

Man, spending $15 on a replacement case is ridiculous!!

[SpiderBaby]

don't buy them then. No one is making people spend $. I want them, so I pay.

[rocks off]

Would Canada be considered 'International'?

If you read the other posts, you'd know that its $5 each for the first two cases, $2.50 for each additional case. The person who quoted $15 per case is mistaken.

The $15 is the price for international buyers.

I don't think any of us here have any solid "leak-type" information regarding March 2010 releases. We can only speculate according to what's been announced in newsletters in the past. We'll all find out at relatively the same time, though, which won't be much longer.

Well isn't Stagecoach and Cronos been put on hold a little longer? So that's 2 you can cross off.

I myself hope Vivre sa vie is close. It's had it's Janus theater/poster run early this year(2009) so March 2010 sounds about right for a dvd/blu-ray release. It's been a big enough gap.

Of course, we will see a IFC release as well.

So that's 2 releases I think and hope (Vivre sa vie) we will see in March for blu-ray.

Also, Bigger than Life, and Dillinger is Dead, but don't know if both or one could make it to blu.

So I say:

Vivre sa vie
Bigger than Life (Nic Ray! YAY!)
Dillinger is Dead (prob dvd only)
and an IFC title.

[rezpekt]

There must be a Kurosawa title released in March!

[pmpboarder]

Ordered all nine replacement cases! I love you guys for maintaining such a lurker-friendly topic. I find all sorts of fascinating tidbits! An example would be the replacement cases. If not for this very thread, I wouldn't even be aware of such an awesome program, much less who to contact and how to pay!

I love you all and I love Criterion.

[V2David]

LOVE the replacement cases BTW. Thanks Criterion!

[jmcy2k]

Speculation would be a more accurate descriptor. I look forward to the IFC releases especially.
