MADE IT!

Went for:

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Thief
Blue is the Warmest Color

Considered IAMMMMW and King of the Hill, but I have some B&N gift cards left over from Xmas I can use for those.

I posted this in the sale thread, but I will post it here too:

site is slow, but I was able to place my order no problem. I would recommend purchasing all the new releases you want right away, as they typically sell out during these sales. Then go back and figure out what else you may want from the older catalog. Just make sure you are purchasing over $50 each time and you are good on the free shipping...

Be patient, it's always like this the first hour...

Guess the sale emails are starting to show up with the code... still nothing in my mailbox, so thanks again for the early code lordmorpheus72.

LegacyCosts · 02-25-2014, 04:58 PM

I just picked up Badlands, Night of the Hunter, Blue is the Warmest Color, Kiss me Deadly, and In the Mood For Love.

That is quite enough spending but I am pretty happy with my choices. The site is so slow right now

You are more than welcome to sit at your computer all day and order them for me when the site is back up.

Good luck everyone!

Had mine in first few minutes, then ended up removing something... took a few extra seconds going back through.

(yeah, I said i was getting back tot work, but having lunch in my office. gotta see what everyone got!)

I suppose splitting up larger orders into $50+ increments increases your chances at the special prize, but I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle.

ccg1978 · 02-25-2014, 05:08 PM

Wes Anderson Haul:

Fantastic Mr Fox
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Darjeeling Limited

I don't think it's possible to use the code more than once on a single account.

(I might be wrong, but I remember hearing that, I think.)

JTStarkiller · 02-25-2014, 05:10 PM

I just went with Throne of Blood. Feels good to not break the bank.

No problem... mine took a few extra to get there so figured I'd post to help everyone out.. especially since I had the red X and no banner.

I used the code INGRID twice during the last sale.

Another few days of increased traffic in this thread.... makes lurking/casual reading frustrating.

blkhrt · 02-25-2014, 05:13 PM

I was finally able to get my order through after about 30 minutes of the page crashing. Picked up Throne of Blood, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, and a wacky C shirt for my son. Not bad

GenPion · 02-25-2014, 05:15 PM

Question: If I order enough during the same to get the $50 gift-card to their website does it send automatically? Then I could use it towards getting three Criterion Blu-ray's for $10 shipped. I am thinking about placing a big order to get the last points I need.

lordmorpheus72 · 02-25-2014, 05:16 PM

And IAMMMMW is Sold Out according to the site! Wonder if Mr. Fox is next.

henry00x · 02-25-2014, 05:20 PM
