Thing with Wild At Heart is there are a few releases of this worldwide. I've turned my nose up at it for a fiver so am in no rush to pick this one up.

Rollerball has one and possibly only one release ever and this is it. It's a cult film with a worldwide following. I love it to death. I can't see it being around at the end of the week tbh.

Strange. How many are you ordering at a time? All mine are sent individually and always marked $5 for the value.

[HotRats]

Anything between three and eight. Always sent as one order in a box

Ah, that'll explain it then.

yes, there is 0 point in logging in before you load you cart with the stuff you want.
you ALWAYS have to log in again to checkout.
I noticed this a long time ago, as I'm sure many other people did as well.

Does anyone know if Twilight Time has released any foreign language films on Blu-ray yet? MGM has the rights to several Truffaut films that have never been released on Blu-ray and with the recent announcements of several of his films arriving on Blu-ray from Aritifical Eye in the UK (as part of Truffaut's anniversary this year) I am wondering if Twlight Time might release some of the MGM released Truffaut films that have never been released on Blu-ray into the collection?

I already have Garcia so I didn't bother with the promotion this time, but did pick up Rollerball and a couple of others.

I'm really anxious for next month's preorder, since I want The Train and The Mechanic.

Hmmm...

I've never heard of this issue until today.

I've placed about 15 SAE orders and never had to log-in again to check out.

Oh, I pre-ordered FATE IS THE HUNTER and THUNDERBIRDS.

Not so far. The only non-American films they've released to date have all been British.

As long as I can remember over the past years, I have never had to log in again at checkout, EXCEPT for today. I assume it is something with new checkout software on the SAE site, as I have been using Firefox forever, so that variable has not changed.

BTW, just got an e-mail from TT and it say low quantity alert for some titles.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot has less than 400
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines is less than 350
Our Man Flint is less than 500

Looks like Thunderbolt may not last a few weeks..

I've always had the same experience as Arkadin posted above.

[rock, stone]

The SAE website logs me out more than any other website I use. It is just par for the course, as far as I'm concerned.

[bruceames]

I've always had to log in to checkout also. Otherwise I never have to log in and it keeps my cart with what I had it at and never empties it.

Same here, I have always had to do the double sign-in on checkout at SAE and I have been buying there for at least 2 years. Maybe browser related (I have used IE and Chrome).

Looks like Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is now a limit of 1 per person so most likely gone soon.

[atfree]

Just got the pre-order email from SAE. In addition to the new pre-orders, it also states several older releases are now under 500 remaining: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (<400), Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (<350), Our Man Flint (<500), and My Cousin Rachel (<500).

So glad they are doing this instead of letting scalpers buy lots of whatever and wipe out the stock immediately. Have they been imposing 1 per copy limits on other low stock titles that weren't initially restricted?

[Angel Eyes]

Just got my Used Cars in....only took two days and the case was in great condition. I heard some were having some issues with cracked cases.

It was 100% accurate for pre-orders or for titles with less than 1,000 remaining.

How does the limit work? Is it limited simply by amount of usernames you make on the site, or by mailing address it's sent to, or by credit card/paypal account used? If the first I don't see it being much of an obstacle to scalpers.

Don't know. But believe me it can be bypassed.
