I know that most or all of the films in these Eclipse sets are available on the Channel, but I just love the idea of having them in my permanent collection.

Caught them two weeks ago at NYC's Sony Hall for their 50th Anniversary, and as always they were great, performing for over three hours including the Secret Treaties album in its entirety.

It's always a great vibe when they play for their hometown crowd in NYC, and for this last show even more so as I was in the company of the same group of friends who saw them perform live for the very first time back in 77.

Wow! What a treat. I too would be walking on a cloud for weeks afterwards. Hopefully I can move some things around to see them next month. I'm still kicking myself for selling the tickets I had last year due to being exhausted from all the driving I had been doing for work (the concert required another 9 hours total to attend).

Anywhoo. Godzilla!

I'd just wait till there is a 4K, I got a feeling one day it'll happen.

Go through the order process, it should still work. There's a free shipping glitch that they haven't fixed where the actual threshold is somewhere between $45 and $50

Here's an example

I'm thinking maybe it's accidentally using the standard price instead of the sale price when accounting for free shipping?

Yeah, I thought that too, but if you add two $39.95 SRP titles, which clears the intended $75 threshold, it's still charging shipping, so it's something else it seems.

i was using $30 credit, and the two items in my cart totaled $74.94. with the credit it was 44.94 and it said i needed to add 6 cents to my order for free shipping. so i guess the threshold is $45? but yeah i continued with the checkout and it applied free shipping

with tax and free shipping, the total for Lost Highway 4k + the Before trilogy = $50.75

Indicator and Criterion sales in the same week is rough, had to go light here.

[Durban2706]

Small order using a $10 credit:

Brief Encounter - discovered this gem a few weeks ago on the channel.
Summertime - Love nearly everything Katherine Hepburn is in.
The Flight of the Phoenix - Can't say enough good things about this film.
Arsenic and Old Lace - This is just a fun watch, especially in October.
The Girl Can't Help It - Blind Buy

Yes, but to get the true experience, you need to watch them each 7-8 years apart.

I think the site is using the usual 20% Presale Prices to figure the FS since those prices are in the system.

I know the MSRP $39.95 titles are normally $31.96 and the MSRP $49.95 4K titles are $39.96.

2 of the regular titles would be a few cents $64 and 2 of the 4K would be $79+ which would explain the Shipping charges or FS as the site is actually working.
1 39.95 and 1 49.95 titles would be around $72 normal price (approx $44.90 on sale) and would get hit with shipping.

The lowest priced items I could find to combine for FS was a 4K title and one of the Eclipse MSRP $44.95 sets. 50% Sale price is about $47.45 and is showing FS, but the NORMAL Non sale daily Price would be around $75.92.

I went in just now for...

Blow Out 4K
Lost Highway 4K
Night of the Living Dead 4K

There are others on my wish list, but they can wait until the November B&N sale.
