Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[UnionJackMix]

I'll try that search function thank you. Yes MMM was ordered by me from SAE.
But looking up data for your post shows me that I only ordered it in early May, and that there is even tracking data for it, so it looks the status has not been updated since middle June while being stuck in the Netherlands.
Well at least it's not shown as delivered. It's still weird because I can't see a reason for delay from there in this period, but I'll wait patiently some more.

Went to the sale yesterday to get these:

Did Twilight Time ever finally get caught up with their orders. Thinking of putting an order in, but don't want to get it a month from now.

Still not caught up. This was their latest schedule for getting orders shipped out:

Not quite. I'm still waiting for 2 orders placed on May 31 (6 titles) and June 14 (3 titles). (Both order numbers start with 79XXX).

Didn't they say in their emails that they would list the OOP titles found at the bottom of the drawers only once they had caught up with their orders?

They originally said the announcement would come "later this month," so it had to come before the end of June. Then, as posted in this thread for members who might not be getting their emails, the announcement of titles was made on June 30th and they were scheduled to be available to purchase on July 1st at 1pm ET.

After the announcement, the website started populating with the limited titles, and then they became available to purchase at the scheduled time. Most sold out within minutes.

What they did say is that orders placed for the limited titles would ship after all other orders had shipped.

They wouldn't have been able to do the limited titles after everything had shipped, since they will still be continuing to ship all remaining orders after the store shuts down on July 6th.

Ok I have to say their emails were maybe too detailed to keep track of what was gonna happen.
Like me totally missing the fact that FedEx was the only shipping option outside the US, and why I had to let go of the 9 to 5 I had in my cart.
*sobs to bed.

You’re in Switzerland, right? Why don’t you get the French or Spanish releases of 9 To 5?

Good news: My order from May 12 shipped

Bad news: In frustration from waiting for my order to ship, I took a baseball bat to my televisions, sound system and BD players and destroyed them. So I have to buy new equipment to watch the BDs on when they come. The passion of the hobby gets the best of all of us sometimes.

They're running a 10 for $100 deal but they're also running a 10% off $100+ deal, so the 10% off usually kicks in first at 9 titles. You had the 1940s Musical Bundle in there as well. Very nice

This final pricing tempted me into placing one "last" order as well, so I pulled the trigger, focusing mostly on Fox titles, knowing that I'll certainly be saving myself money should I later regret not picking up some of these titles and having to go to eBay.

Between TT and SAE, I've been having an extended TT marathon ever since my first orders started rolling in, all blind buys, and I've been enjoying every one. Tonight I watched You'll Never Get Rich, which I enjoyed very much, and now I'm deciding which title to watch next!

There was only around three of those I regret not picking up. It’s my own fault since I had opportunities prior to the final sale to get them and passed for one reason or another.

Whoa, that's hardcore.

What's weird is that I showed up late to the sale, and bought a bunch of titles (below in red) that were not on that list, but had been recently been pulled from the website:

Big Fix, The
Black Widow (1954)
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice
Bobby Deerfield
Dragonwyck
Husbands and Wives
Hussy
Return of Frank James, The
Stagecoach
Whirlpool
You Only Live Once

My order went through and I received all the discounts. It will be interesting to see what actually ships.

Speaking of shipping, the large order I placed on May 14 finally went out the door yesterday, so they're pretty much adhering to the schedule they laid out in their last email.

[popeflick]

I got my order yesterday, two days after receiving a shipping email. The backlog is clearing. Well done!

[jetthead]

Got a "Store Closing on Monday, July 6th" email today. Decided to take advantage of their "1940s Musical Bundle" (Hello Frisco Hello, Pin Up Girl, and Mother Wore Tights). At $7 each + shipping, it came to $30. I almost ordered the 2 Betty Grable films previously so this was a pretty easy decision. Farewell TT, you shall be missed.

This is it for me and Twilight Time. It's a been great run and thanks for the memories. Not a bad price of $11 and like $5 something for S&H.



Unless there are still decent titles left at SAE afterwards I am likely 99.9% done.
