I'm more interested in what do they mean however with 200+ titles to sell across two websites TT has not come to a end?

EDIT: Another Facebook post for extra emphasis:

I'm really curious now whether TT still has first dibs on Alien Nation or if they've now lost that since Disney acquired Fox.

I haven't had to interact with customer service, but I find shipping to be fair and reasonable, and even though I choose the cheapest option (media mail for about $5), my orders have all come secure in a box and arrived very quickly after I ordered (as in just a few days).

Not to get too fatalistic here, but that doesn't sound good for the future. Reading between the lines, it sounds like the odds are better that in 2020 we see an "Everything Must Go" sale before we see new announcements.

I would recommend ordering the 101 Films edition from the UK just in case:

That’a how I read between the lines, too.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what I thought last week when ordering from the Halloween sale.

I'm hoping TT can make it, but I'm definitely ready to see them announce a sitewide sale with lower-than-usual prices.

Hope I'm wrong, as I'd rather see them stick around and continue releasing than get everything for cheap.

Julie won't be making any statements because she has not been treated well and has, for the time being, stepped completely away.

All I know is if they put out more titles, I will buy them. If they aren't I'm still planning on buying ones they have already released.

[Bradsdadg]

I went through their site this morning adding to my wishlist. About 15-17 I would buy on there now depending on sales

Because, it seemed to me that Twilight Time went out of their way to *not* commit to more new announcements. They could have said something like "We're planning/hoping to have more films to announce in 2020. Stay tuned."

They could have, but they didn't.

From what I understand, Julie is no longer with TT. With Nick's passing, I'm not sure who is running TT now.

I would imagine it's Brian Jamieson.

Just a heads up for region locked folks. It’s been discovered that certain region locked Eureka discs will work on any North American player using the “top menu” trick. That includes a few OOP TT titles such as “Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte” and “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.

Placed a spook-tacular order before the sale ends today, Ordered Dragonwyck and Black Widow (1954):

[Show spoiler]

They included a "free" clear case for Black Window. I don't really care about the case color but I couldn't remove it without removing Black Widow. Would have cost me $1.25 extra for shipping, but I opted for media mail, so the upcharge was only about 50 cents. Oh, well, glad to support the cause.

Placed the same order! What's that they say about great minds...

Whatever happens to TT, I am honored to have a number of their titles in my collection.

I thought the same about the blue case until I saw it. It's not just the color. It's one of those eco-cases and a particularly cheap one at that.

Quickly switched it out and that thing has a date with the garbage man.
