My copy of the Tony Rome double feature arrived today. I was under the impression all the titles from the August 16th release date came in eco-cases, but mine came in a clear non-eco case.

Just Hardcore and Theatre of Blood per TT's Facebook page.

Some of us bought other editions at a cheaper price.

My SAE 7 for $70 arrived today:

Mindwarp
Pony Soldier
Rains of Ranchipur
The Disappearance
High Time
Song of Bernadette
Wayward Bus
and
The Sicilian Connection (Code Red)

Last week received American Buffalo and Theatre of Blood from TT

Today I ordered Wild at Heart from Amazon ($54 sealed). I couldn't take it anymore. Must own. It was creeping up in price, already over $60 on fleaBay.

I dont think that works. Anything over 50 drops the total to 50

Not at all, TT carries titles prior to the inception of their web site and the titles aren't split between the two sites. SAE only carries a percentage of the total quantity at any given time and Cinram holds the remaining stock. TT's orders are fulfilled by Cinram and Cinram can send SAE more copies if they run out of stock.

Yeah I mean, that's my point. They put out what the studios give them. If they are given a great master we get a great master, and if not then we don't. I don't think TT do anything "top tier" in the equation. They create an isolated score track, maybe record a commentary, then ship it.

I think maxing out the bit rate and using BD-50's gives us the best possible presentation of the aged masters they are forced to use. Which also inflates the final cost.

My copy of Tony Rome/Lady in Cement ordered from Twilight Time was shipped to Canada in a clear eco-case. It arrived in perfect condition.

Hmm. Well it looks like I got lucky then.

[Somerset]

So does TT ship internationally??? I just created an account on the website and it does not mention anywhere that they ship to Australia?

[geoff]

They sure do.

[nitin]

Yes both SAE and TT ship to Australia.

What can I say? When I tried it with Sleepless yesterday morning, I put in 100, and it came back as 12.

Does their website have a shipping rate page?

[geoff]

Twilight Time store: Add a few titles to the cart, then "VIEW CART" and click "ESTIMATE SHIPPING & TAX".

Screen Archives works the same way.

any chance anyone is planning another group buy? please pm if you are

Off the top of my head, SAE is $10 for the first I item, then $2.50 for each additional one. TT's site is slightly different but comparable.
