Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[spargs]

Received my preorders of Zardoz and The Story of Adele H yesterday. And, as has been revealed/discussed here in recent weeks, these arrived in the clear Elite cases that TT is now using for these and future releases.

As I have my TT titles organized separately on my shelves (like its own collection, ala Criterion), I hate seeing the clear cases amidst all the blue TT cases. I actually prefer the clear cases over blue cases, and with TT's future releases being in clear cases it makes sense to change out the existing blue cases, but I believe someone had posted that you can only buy these clear Elite cases in incredibly large batches, which ruins that option.

To the other posters here that want their TT titles to have a uniform look on their shelves... what will you be doing to achieve that uniform look? I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks.

This has nothing to do with OCD. To answer your question though, i'm switching them out for blue Viva Elite cases which can easily be replaced.

Not yet. My 4/14 order is still pending.

I agree....In fact I have no problem with a 'non-uniform' look on my blu-ray shelf, I already have digibooks, digipaks, slip cases, slip covers, elite blue's, generic blue's all mixed together and it looks just fine to me. However as previous posters recommended I'll be swapping out TT's clear cases for elite blue, because in my opinion the clear ones look ugly and cheap.

I bought 100 black Blu-ray cases off of eBay last year and use them for all my TT titles.

My order with the autographed Prime of Miss Jean Brodie shipped. It was nice to see the imminently sold out Bye, Bye Birdie and The Driver in the shipping email.

So yes, I think they are finally caught up. Just in time for release day.

How can you distinguish between an original TT and a fake?

Do you have a specific example or title in question or is this more of a general question? Do you think you have a bootleg?

What brand of case are they? Are they the same thickness of the cases TT has been using?

The thing is, I was going to buy The Driver, but I was in school. After class was over, I got home and went to SAE and searched up The Driver. Sadly, it was sold out. I really wanted to own it, so I bought it off of an Amazon seller. It just arrived on my doorstep an hour ago. I'm curious and nervous if it is an original title or a fake?

It's most likely an original although there appear to be bootlegs of some titles floating around especially those found at the flea market for $10.

The Driver was released in a standard Viva Elite case. On the play side of the disc there are two rings found near the inner hole of the disc. The outer most ring has an LY01 followed by the date of 7/12/2013 which is followed by 9D RJ030D.1.A VD01. The inner ring also has the LY01 and 7/12/2013 date but is followed by 9D RJ030D.1.B VD01.

On the label side near the rim of the hole there is a molded IFPI number. It made be difficult to see without a magnifying glass but it will be IFPI 2UEK.

I checked it. It was hard to see, but everything was on the disc like you wrote.

You're good to go then and your disc was made in the Cinram Olyphant plant.

They are generic cases (no Blu-ray logo on front) and are probably 1mm wider than a standard Viva Elite case.

By the way, how did you find all that information for The Driver?

I own The Driver and purchased it directly from SAE. TT uses Cinram to replicate their discs and SAE gets the TT discs delivered from Cinram. The LY01 is the mastering SID code and the 2UEK is the mould SID code. The 2U mould code belongs to Cinram's Olyphant, PA plant.
