Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[jstxanothrxstory]

I can post photos tonight (as I'm on my way to work) if anyone's interested in seeing what it looks like, but I switched my Twilight Time cases over to black Blu-Ray cases and I'm really digging the aesthetics of it. Kind of surprised they never considered that.

Also a John Carpenter film is going to sell better than The Blob. I'm really surprised Christine didn't get a mass market release.

Wow. I'm surprised that The Blob is already down to 1 copy per customer. I thought it would take a little longer to sell out with 5000 units. My guess is about half have been sold already if they dropped the limit so quickly.

My order with the Buddy Holly Story signed promo shipped already.

Maybe so, I wasn't sure. I assumed it was their recent "new security update."

I'm so excited, I just received La Bamba!

That is cool sounds like there shouldn't be a delay on shipping this copy with the pre-orders when they begin shipping Sometimes there is a delay when they are waiting for the freebie to show up in stock.

For those interested in some TT titles that they have yet to get that are still available on their site TCMShop has a sorry they screwed up code for 30% off, if you use the code: SORRY30 at checkout.

Comes out to 24.46 a title plus shipping costs

Not great...but not bad either

So if a TT title is available at Screen Archives but not at TCM is it reasonable to assume it's close to selling out? Thanks!

No that wouldn't be a correct assumption. There are many reasons why TCM may not have the title listed.

[jshaide]

Is there anyway of knowing figures on the new titles without TT outright saying it?

[jstxanothrxstory]

Did TCM use up their inventory of The Blob?

Mine shipped also. Didn't preorder anything this time, so no hold ups.

Not necessarily. TCM gets a relatively small number initially from each TT release, so their allocation being gone is not really an indication of anything other than them being out of stock.

It would appear so. I would strongly recommend that people not order this particular title (or any title that is likely to sell out soon) from TCM, whether they have stock or not. In the past, members have gotten screwed on sold out titles because TCM oversold their inventory. By the time they found out that they would not be getting the title (often weeks or even months after the sellout), there was nothing that could be done to get themselves another copy. If you want this movie, taking a gamble like that is not worth the $4 or so you save by going with TCM.

I ordered The Blob, Audrey Rose, Under Fire and Dogs of War.

Will be great to see them all again in HD.

Thanks, I just picked up 4 titles from my wish list and saved about $20. Nothing to spit at, as they say.
