It comes out two weeks after Christine and The Fury, so it'll be up for pre-order in two weeks.

Sure glad I have no interest in buying either CHRISTINE or THE FURY, saving me time and aggravation as well as leaving an extra copy of each for everybody else. They're both okay genre pictures, way better than the NOTLD remake, but still nothing I'd get excited over. I almost considered ordering FRIGHT NIGHT, but by the time I decided I might, they were gone, so the decision was made for me.

It's nice (for me, at least, but I guess not for Twilight Time) that the movies I'd like to buy tend to be the ones nobody else cares about.

I wonder if they will send out the "less than 500 copies left" email this evening.

876 left

yeah I guess so, but I was just thinking they had done 3 at the same time before that came out of different days but maybe not.

By the time they get around to sending out that email they'll be sold out. SAE still hasn't sent out an email to customers on their mailing list to let people know that the lastest TT releases are now available for preorder. It will probably be a few days before they get around to that.

nekromantik · 02-15-2013, 09:25 PM

For those in the UK, how long did it take for you to get a release from SAE using standard shipping?
Also has many had items go missing? I chose standard and scared of it going missing as its not cheap!

Yeah I guess. It's been 15 min since my last post and already down to 740.

No one has ever had an order go missing in the whole history of SAE it seems. It's just a shady scare tactic. Delivery to the UK used to take awhile but now takes anywhere from 4-8 working days.

About two weeks. Nothing to worry about. Actually, I think NOTLD took less than two weeks because I was slightly surprised when it turned up.

This got lost in the frenzy of the Christine thread and I'd love an answer.

I ordered 3 titles.

Do they package in a box when your order quantity is 3 titles? I know they do when I ordered 5 titles at a time like I did last month, but want to make sure that 3 is the low limit to get boxed.

I knew it! I've ordered from them 3 times prior to today with Christine and The Fury and decided I'm sick of paying $95 for two blurays and took a chance with the standard delivery. Part of me was thinking this is so ridiculous it's probably just a tactic to try and get more money out of people. Never again!

They should be in a box.

Thanks, I just prefer that shipping to keep them minty.

Even if they did go missing, as long as you pay with either a credit card or Paypal you'll get your cash back. Their threat is bulls***.

People have reported when they ordered 3 or more titles they were shipped in a box.

nekromantik · 02-15-2013, 09:49 PM

Thanks for the reassurance.

I did pay via CC but as its a foreign company not sure how protection works.

captveg · 02-15-2013, 09:54 PM

I ordered Christine and The Big Heat, which are the only two films they've released so far that I feel inclined to own (and it took a year after seeing The Big Heat and wanting to watch it again to come to that conclusion).

I'll definitely be getting The Driver when it goes up for order.

I also ordered a copy of Bell Book and Candle for a friend of mine who is a huge Jimmy Stewart fan.

malcy30 · 02-15-2013, 09:55 PM

Just got back from work and ordered with no problems. From what you guys are saying I was lucky not sold out. As others say will probably sell out today or tomorrow.

ROclockCK · 02-15-2013, 10:02 PM

I'm surprised by some of the other TT titles that have shown movement in the midst of this.

It's like "Okay, now I've got Christine...and The Fury...what else will go with those? Hey, what about The Egyptian? Or High Time?"

Whirlygig · 02-15-2013, 10:03 PM

I was waiting to get Experiment in Terror with these pre-orders.

The only other two I don't already have that I kick around the idea of picking up now and then are Pal Joey and Desiree.
