Also more from the email:

UPDATE: We just found out today that there was an error over a year ago when we checked in Suddenly Last Summer resulting in us only having half the physical inventory we thought we had. We will be contacting those impacted customers this week.

I really wish I had the opportunity to buy a title that is unavailable.
You may have that chance! We had a very limited number of archived copies of select titles at the office, including some titles that have been sold out for some time. Any included titles that went out of stock during this sale will have the sale price. Non-sale titles that have been sold out prior to the start of the sale will be sold for their original release price of $29.95. These titles will be available for sale Wednesday July 1st at 1PM ET on a first-come first-serve basis

I know what I'm going to be doing on Wednesday at 1PM ET!

1940s Musical Bundle: Get Alice Faye in Hello, Frisco, Hello, and Betty Grable in Mother Wore Tights and Pin Up Girl for the bundle price of $21 when you purchase all three.

Shoot, I just ordered these last week! Ah well.

[bonehica]

Will attempt to grab Cat Ballou and Titus!!

There are definitely a couple of OOP titles I am interested in from that list. But, with only three or fewer copies remaining, it seems a real longshot to land one, and if they charge full MSRP for these, with shipping on top, I'm not sure they're even coming out that much cheaper than what it'd cost to pick one up on the aftermarket. I think I'm leaning towards sitting out of this one, but good luck to everyone on Wednesday! Some great titles in there.

Man, it's going to be like the old days. I hope their website doesn't crash!

just received an e-mail from TT...

Suddenly, Last Summer isn't coming for those who ordered it on the 11th and still haven't received their order. Bummer, cause that includes me.

Indicator's (region-free) release knocks it into the dirt anyways.

yeah, that's what I'll be doing. I nearly bought the Indicator release a couple times and just decided to pull the trigger on the TT because of the sale price and because I hadn't done so already.

Pretty meh list. I have most of the "hard" sold out titles, and there's only three I'm missing and none are particularly high priority, at least one I could see being put out by another label. However, two films on my list are back in stock, so I think I'll try to take advantage of the cheaper 10 for 100 deal.

[Dollar Colonel]

If they're selling for full price they might as well have listed them on eBay for auction.

Same here. There are eight titles in the list that I don't have, and most of those aren't ones that I felt that badly about missing out on. I certainly don't want any of them badly enough to "fight" for them, and I'm feeling that they might as well go to someone else who wants them more than I do.

My second Twilight Time direct order, which I placed on May 12, shipped today. Now I'm only waiting for my third order, placed on May 14.

Yeah, Sony's transfer of Cat Ballou is stunning. One of the best looking Blu-rays I own.

[UnionJackMix]

So much for those (me included) hoping there would be some long-deleted titles!
So long dream of purchasing The Egyptian

There's only two titles I want, and one I might as well get off eBay for cheaper.
May the fastest win.

I'm waffling. Kinda sorta somewhat. I won't be there right at 1pm. Later on in the afternoon, though, I might look to see what's left.

I also noticed that the clear cases will be 50¢ apiece, so I might stock up on them to replace any blue cases I may have. I just checked, and I have 98 TT discs in blue cases, so an even hundred cases will be $50 (plus shipping). Sounds like that might be a plan. Maybe I'll just buy the cases and forget about any of the "last chance" discs.
