Yes!

I got one of those as well. It says that it's 10% off items in my cart or wishlist. Anyone know if it HAS to be those or if it can be applied to anything else I'd like to buy?

It can be applied to anything!

How do you get these do you sign up for a newsletter or something

Here's another request for a nearly forgotten dinosaur/caveman movie from 1960 (or 1961) featuring stop-motion animation (not of Ray Harryhausen's caliber, for sure, but it still might be fun) ... does anybody remember Dinosaurus!? I haven't seen it in forever! I'm not sure which studio/company owns the rights, but it looks like it's been OOP for a while. Sounds like something that could be right up Twilight Time's alley to resurrect. Any possibilities?

Here's just one of the positive comments found on Amazon's website:
"Stop-Motion fans should check this out for it's stop-mo dinosaurs. It was made in 1960 and was double-billed with The Blob. Producer Jack H. Harris went on to produce Equinox ( 1971 ), The Blob ( 1988 remake ) and several others. The brontosaurus model later apeared in a TWILIGHT ZONE episode."

Im not positive, but...

A long long time ago (I really don't remember how long its been), people were reporting getting these coupons for 10% off their wishlist/saved items. I had bought most of the TT titles I wanted and never used either of those features, so being a little discouraged that I didn't get a coupon as well, I went to their site, added some titles to my cart, then moved them to the saved for later list, or whatever they call it. Figured it wouldn't hurt anything? Fast forward to today, woke up, checked email, 10% off coupon received. So based on my experience, Im going with the theory of go make a wishlist or put a few items in your cart and save them for later, even if you have purchased them. Then wait for coupon day, whenever that may be. Be prepared for a decent wait time.

I actually had a bunch of stuff in my wishlist going back to when we were still able to play the "cart game", so they weren't all necessarily titles that I even wanted that much! This coupon has come at an intriguing time because I've been contemplating finally pulling the trigger on Bell, Book & Candle but I've been put off by the higher price. This might just be the incentive I need.

10% off wasn't a significant savings, but it finally got me to pull the trigger on The Way We Were and Born Yesterday. It effectively canceled shipping costs, putting each of these just under the $30 mark.

Excellent choice. I picked it up awhile ago and just watched it for the first time last week. It has quickly become one of my favorite TT's. Great little gem of a film that even includes subtitles and bonus features. As we all know, that's rare for Twilight Time. There's lots of grain too which shows some great detail. It's well worth it.

Yeah, its definitely not much, but was a nice surprise for me. I had a ton of stuff going on the day of the August pre-orders and forgot to try to get in early with the Brannigan signed copy. I remembered the next day and decided to just wait, since ordering early from them usually means you get your stuff last lol. Long story short, used this coupon to get the few titles I wanted to for August.

Dinosaurus is a cool, dumb movie that I loved as a kid. I used to feel so sad about the caveman. I've got the Image DVD and wouldn't mind a bluray upgrade, but probably not at a TT price.

Yeah, I remember seeing it as a kid too (in the theater) and remember really liking it. That's probably the last time I saw it though, so I'm sure it would be very different seeing it as an adult. But the Amazon reviews look so good (for the most part), that I thought maybe it really is a film worthy of not being forgotten. I don't know who would be a more likely company to release it than Twilight Time ... maybe Shout Factory? Maybe nobody? (hehe)

EDIT: Maybe VCI would do it, as they release films like Gorgo, which is kind of on the same level.

EDIT #2: I was so young when I first saw Dinosaurus! that I hardly remember what it was about. My most vivid memories are

[Show spoiler]of the caveman snooping around a house (because it was funny) and the little kid in the movie.

What should I expect in terms of shipping for the above order? Will they all ship at the same time? Will they ship the items that are in stock then ship the rest?
