Nothing other than the MGM/UA titles start and there will be 2 announced.

Not sure if anyone has suggested this, but what about Steve Martin's classic film...LA Story?

I would LOVE to have this on Blu-ray.

So many potential titles. I can't wait to see what's on the way so I can budget for it.

I agree, even the scalpers know they can make money on these titles, I will be very surprised if this doesn't sell out during the pre-order.

Yeah maybe but I wouldn't count on it happening in a day, hell even a week. Maybe even in the 3 weeks of preorder time but even them im guessing it takes at least a couple months.

Drums Along the Mohawk arrived today in perfect condition!

This time around, I specified in the order instructions for them to ship the Blu-ray in a box to protect from damage. Thanks so much to SAE for going the full nine yards.

Also titles which did sell out would be re-purchased (which may in fact discourage the scalpers) and re-issued since the packaging and all is already there

Surely they must be aware of what titles would be more popular than others. They knew enough to at least limit the Body Double pre-orders to 3 per customer.

I expect it would take a couple of weeks but I think it will go fast during the pre-order period. These late period / sword and sandal Harryhausen films seem particularly popular and even the casts featuring the likes of Caroline Munro, John Philip Law, Jane Seymour, Tom Baker etc. have great cult appeal.

Really? You can't read back just a few posts?

Something that might play a part in how fast the Harryhausen films sell during the pre-order period could be Black Friday ... or pre-Christmas sales in general. There might be a lot of good deals floating around during this time period where people might have to prioritize which films are more important for them to spend their money on.

Hopefully you can find a good salve in the meantime.

jlk5844 · 09-14-2013, 02:09 AM

The preorder won't even go up until sometime in September then, right? That's a year away...
