It not be necessary, But maybe Twilight Time could limited the purchase of new titles to one per customer for the first 30 days of release. That way a title that sells out in a day could at least have a chance to be purchased by the fans and not the resellers. After 30 days the re-sellers can buy as many as they want - if there are any left

Let the bashing begin . . .

They already do that with the titles they anticipate to be hot sellers. And there's been, like, one title in the history of the company that has sold out in a day.

Will probably pull the trigger on that whenever the next flash sale is.

If memory serves, it was the first Hollywood picture to shoot in Japan following WWII, and the cinematography captures the area beautifully.

The extras are plentiful, and the 5/5 PQ score from this site's review is well-deserved. I couldn't find a single flaw with it.

Basically, I'm saying I agree with the Owl. Don't hesitate to buy it.

bipbop13 · 08-10-2016, 03:17 AM

In no particular order at all

Swamp Water
Mississippi Burning
Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia
The Blob
Lenny
Vampires
The Believers
Journey To The Center of the Earth
First Men in the Moon
1984

wormraper · 08-10-2016, 03:50 AM

glad I grabbed "Vampires" before it went out of stock... Might have to grab "The Mechanic" too, but that's on a lower list and I doubt it will sell out in the week. I still can't believe I was braindead and let "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Mysterious Island" encore editions slip through. I wasn't paying attention to this thread

It's still in stock at TT.

Wow, I read that completely differently but now I see what you actually meant as it can be interpreted both ways.

yeah, poor wording on my part.

rdodolak · 08-10-2016, 03:59 AM

I'm hoping TT finally announces Panic Room along with Screamers (1995).

jacobb1313 · 08-10-2016, 04:00 AM

Top 10, eh?

1) Big Heat
2) Rapture
3) Hard Times
4) Judgment at Nuremberg
5) Born Yesterday
6) A Man For All Seasons
7) Sexy Beast
8) The Train
9) The Egyptian
10) Major Dundee

Props to Mindwarp, which would have made it to 10 on a weirder day.

The Buddy Holly Story
Julia
Body Double

Just got shipping notification for Hardcore. Nice to see it ship early.

Jobla · 08-10-2016, 07:07 PM

I haven't yet received a shipping order from TT regarding my solo order for HARDCORE, although I placed the order on the first day that they listed the title for preorder.

I'm a first-time customer of theirs (as opposed to SAE), so I'm unaware of their order procedures.

I would bet that "Vampires" is still available two months from today. It has been "low stock" for at least all of 2016, meaning that it took at least 8 months to sell around 500 copies after being marked low stock.

I should have specified that I ordered mine from SAE.
