I have a few blu Rays that are in that case. I thought it was weird the stupid recycle symbol on the left side.

So my trial order from Amazon with Prime is now showing a one week delivery time. Not much different than the SAE non-birthday shipping time, but the price we lower without shipping cost.

So eco cases will include Eddy Duchin and The Blue Max that I have on order? They're from Feb 2014

The Feb 2014 releases came in Viva Elite non-eco cases. Apparently, from what I remember, TT was able to get Cinram to find some non-eco cases for the next batch. However, TT had to go out and pre-purchase non-eco generic cases for the remaining of 2014. I believe they didn't start using those cases until Mar 2014.

La Bamba used the generic non-eco cases.

Thank you! I also received Conrack today from March/14 in a non-eco Elite, it must have just got in under the wire

Being in Canada, I fully expected ZARDOZ (and three titles from the sale I ordered with it) to take a while after the intial shipping notices in the USA. Luckily, I received an email yesterday that my order shipped! It will likely take 10-14 days, but I've got NHL playoffs to watch in the meantime!

Snl40boi · 04-22-2015, 07:06 PM

Order was placed on 4/6 and it shipped Monday and arrived today and it's not in the cheap case.

Sleepless in Seattle is the only "new" title to appear in the LQA list. I'm surprised that they didn't list the Thunderbirds double feature. Last time around, they said it was somewhere around 500 copies. I would've thought it would drop below that after the sale.

If they aren't on the Low Quantity Alert list, no one outside of SAE (or TT) knows how many copies remain. Generally, titles go on the LQA list when they drop below 500 copies, so you can be sure that Yentl and The Buddy Holly Story are above that.

But once again, Twilight Time titles don't, in general, sell out as quickly as people tend to believe. But if you're concerned about missing out on any given title, just go ahead and order it if for no other reason than peace of mind.

I just got a copy of The Blue Max a couple of days ago. It was not in an eco case.

Just checked my two orders: both (3/30 & 4/9) are still pending. They said on the facebook page that orders should be shipped out by the end of the week. I'm thinking that if I don't see tracking numbers by Friday, then I will be compelled to have the following conversation with SAE:

ME: What am I, a mirage?! Where's my f---ing orders, I asked you for my orders.
SAE: Oh, you wanted your Blu-Rays?
ME: I just asked you for my f---ing orders.
SAE: No, I thought that you said you were alright, BagheeraMcGee.
ME: No no no....no no no no no...what do you got me on a "pay-no-mind list", kid?
SAE: No no....I thought I heard someone say something "Screen Archives, Screen Archives..."
ME: You know you are a f---ing mumbling stumbling little f---, you know that?
SAE: No, I thought you said I was alright, Screen Archives.
ME: Well, you ain't alright, Screen Archives, you got a lot of f---ing shipping problems.
SAE: No, I thought YOU said that YOU were alright, Screen Archives.
ME: I AM alright, YOU ain't alright you little f---ing pr--k! You been doing this every month with my Blu-Ray orders, you motherf---er!

And before anyone gets all up in arms about this: this is a joke. I know a lot of us are a bit miffed over the delay, so I figured a good laugh would help. I was just thinking about "Goodfellas", then this shipping delay entered my mind, and you get the rest...
