They really should add the links to the main page a LOT quicker than they do. They should have that ready to go the same time the pages go active. If you camp on the front page you are screwed, especially if you are going for an autographed copy. They sell out before they even get around to adding the links to the main page.

movielib · 09-24-2014, 08:12 PM

I got:

La Bamba
The Believers
The Blob
The Vanishing

Missed the free one. It's always a bit of a crap shoot. I did get The free The Front some months ago.

It wasn't too bad. Slow loading but steady. It's been much worse in the past.

krasnoludek · 09-24-2014, 08:13 PM

Site loaded the Blob fine and I added two copies to my cart in addition to the two other movies I already had in there. But by the time I reloaded to get the Buddy Holly film, the site was running real slow and it was only 4:01. I thought it would cut out on the payment page, but no, it went through and I got my free Buddy Holly.

jjk · 09-24-2014, 08:13 PM

Painfully slow, but after 10 minutes, one The Blob and one The Driver. Success!

Brent L. · 09-24-2014, 08:14 PM

For those new to SAE, just remember that they will not ship ANYTHING until the preorders are released. If you ordered any already released titles you'll have to wait for them along with the preorders.

dsman71 · 09-24-2014, 08:14 PM

Easy pickings for me.. a tad slow but to order and have it all done in a few minutes is a blessing !

SolidBlu · 09-24-2014, 08:15 PM

done pre-ordering the October releases

whew!

it's 4:18 am here, I am going back to sleep

HorrorBlu · 09-24-2014, 08:15 PM

The Blob
The Vanishing
The Believers

Super expensive, but fortunately had enough PayPal funds to cover the entire purchase.

I had been considering a blind buy of Sexy Beast for a while, but I ended up renting it first and I'm glad I did. I REALLY didn't care for it. IMO, it's one of the more polarizing titles TT has.

Page14 · 09-24-2014, 08:15 PM

I went for an all-musical line-up this time around:

Oliver!
Cover Girl
Follow That Dream
La Bamba
The Buddy Holly Story (autographed)

Believe it or not, but I'm on the fence about The Blob. I'll probably go back for it. ... The hype must have gotten to me.

jthefrank · 09-24-2014, 08:16 PM

Well, whatever, that was the first time I've had to deal with having the free title disappear from my cart (even though I thought I had it all timed perfectly), but still happy with what I have coming

Audrey Rose
The Believers
The Blob
Dogs of War

bboisvert · 09-24-2014, 08:16 PM

Well, between the site being slow as molasses and the need to re-enter my shipping and credit details (I order from them at least once a month... WTF?), I missed out on Buddy.

But I did get The Blob and The Believers, so I can't be too upset.

stvn1974 · 09-24-2014, 08:17 PM

Audrey Rose and The Vanishing are tempting but I don't have to money right now. Got The Blob though so I am happy.

Moonlight Shadow · 09-24-2014, 08:17 PM

Funny that so far nobody here has ordered what is clearly the best movie of today's releases: UNDER FIRE.

(Nobody except me of course ;-)

Joeyseven · 09-24-2014, 08:17 PM

Got
THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY (1978) AUTOGRAPHED (First try,and first autographed from TT)
Plus
Dogs of War
Man Hunt
SALVADOR (1986)
Riff-Raff

GxyExpress999 · 09-24-2014, 08:18 PM

Ordered The Blob and a couple others including the autographed promo.

I noticed the site now requires CCV code.

bboisvert · 09-24-2014, 08:18 PM

IMO, they should start doing the autographed ones at a different time. Doing them when the preorders all go live just creates chaos at a time when chaos already rules.

And I assume the point of the freebies is to get people to buy $100+ of stuff when they ordinarily wouldn't. So why do this at a time when people are *already* spending like crazy?

I am interested in that one, but decided to save it for next month's releases. And my fingers are crossed that it might also be the next signed promo.

I ordered that one as well as Salvador (and some others).

Missed out on The Buddy Holly Story. Despite having a super fast brand new computer, warp speed internet connection, and being Clint Eastwood quick on the draw getting it into my cart, I got hung up at checkout with the dreaded spinning disc. After more than a minute of this, my confirm order page finally loaded and Buddy was gone.
