Placed an order for Man In The Dark and The Other. Woo!

The original, John Ford, Stagecoach is on Blu-ray. fwiw.

explain this to me....Body Double alone was about $35 with shipping if you ordered it when released, yet all of the scalpers bought them, list them on Amazon for $48. With the 20% commission to amazon, plus the cost to ship it, they are barely breaking even. If you're going to scalp, at least make money on thing...stupid scalpers.

It probably didn't help that a UK version came out a few months after TT's release - it's region-locked but reportedly has better PQ

That was The Fury. The TT Blu is the only Body Double there is...so far.

You can still pick it up for less at TCM.

Well impressed with TT for doing this yet again

The last order I placed with them totalled $137.30 (dispatched on the 12 Dec & still yet to arrive btw) with a tracking number that doesn't work/exist and included the 2 Sinbads in the order.

I contacted them about ordering the signed copy due to my previous order amount and was told NO! This is the 3rd time they have screwed me out of ordering a signed copy.

Fright Night was the 1st - system apparently let me order when none were in stock! (At least I already owned an unsigned copy)

Journey to the Center of the Earth was the 2nd - lost in transit with a dodgy tracking number then sold out before a replacement was even offered. This is now in my wishlist and will cost me a fall fortune to buy

I have had a bit of a bad run with TT and each time they were unapologetic about the problems almost verging on rude. I am quickly getting to the stage where I no longer want to deal with them but some of the titles they manage to get their grubby little hands on are amongst my favourites

I just don't understand how I can order a cheap blu-ray off ebay from a non business seller, it's sent via USPS and arrives to me within 3 working days yet each time I order with TT, a business, they manage to cock it up and make it sound like it is my fault.

Great customer service this is not. Rant over

You can get the AUS release of Journey to the Centre of the Earth for about $23 shipped. It has the same transfer and isolated score as the oop TT disc.

From what online store might one do that? Thanks!

Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Once again, I hope that I'm not breaching etiquette here.

This linked website says "B", but Blu-ray.com confirms it as region free. The disc plays fine on my Region A player.

JB Hi-Fi is another Australian retailer where you can pick up JTTCOTE.

I'd offer what is cost you in the first place plus the postage and no more to get it to me in the UK.

I doubt you would accept that so if I don't hear from you I'll just order the AUS one

Well i don't want the jackpot for it, but that's 29,95 is not enough

No worries

I picked it up for just over $22 AUD shipped to me in the UK which works out at £11.88 GBP or approx $19.55 USD

Your complaint is with SAE, not TT. I'd be frustrated too, but it's not TT's fault.

How is "Sexy Beast" not sold out still? I guess I was way off in thinking it was more popular than what it seems to be, I thought it had a decent sizable cult following.

It doesn't necessarily mean a movie isn't more popular because it has not yet sold out. It hasn't sold out yet at $30+, same with Sleepless in Seattle and As Good as it Gets. It will sell out, eventually, given the three year exclusive window.

And I just want to say Sexy Beast is one hell of a good British heist film. A blind buy I do not regret.

Yes, sorry my mistake
