Now that's cool. All the other autographed copies they've had would've just ruined the cover art for me, but I definitely want this one.

They don't sign the cover, only the booklet. Only one who signed the cover was Pat Boone with Journey ti the center of the Earth.

And it wasn't even the actual cover art as he simply signed the plastic cover of the Blu-ray case.

Hope the case never gets cracked.

I was on the fence about ordering enough to get the Patrick Wayne autograph, and I'm glad I waited. Malcolm is one of my favorite actors ever.

Hope I can snag an autograph.

The Brokers Worldwide page was updated once the package arrived in the country of the recipient and once more when the local post took over. After that the tracking updates stops. Mine arrived in Sweden on the 20th and I received the package on the 23rd. I tried tracking the package though my local mail handler but it never worked.

Monitor that Brokers Worldwide tracking for further updates and hopefully it'll turn up soon enough.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I skim through this thread pretty regularly, but was never interested in any of the autographs before to really notice. How does this work? Next month, I will be getting Crimes, Front, TBolt, & Blue Max, which will be $120. Do I also purchase Royal Flash & automatically get it for free if I'm in time?

There will be a listing for the autographed copy and you will have to add it to your cart.

Yes, you will have to add the signed edition to your cart to get it but it will be for free.

There are still some people who don't add the signed copy and assume they'll get it for free with their order or that the signed item would be automatically added to their order once they've meet the requirement.

Yeah it must have been shipped with a different service.

Cheers dude! Seems weird though that it's been 12 days since it left america. It only takes one or two flights to get to NZ.

How long does it usually take packages to get there by boat?

Thanks to you & Jetthead for the info. I don't want Royal Flash, but if it's autographed by McDowell & it's free, it's sure worth a try.

Oh, man, that's big time. Some of the past autographs have been great and all but even guys like Pat Boone, Walter Hill or Keith Gordon cannot even come close to the celebrity level and cult appeal of Malcolm McDowell. I'm going to try to get one of these but they'll definitely go FAST.

12 days without an update is quite a bit of time. Hopefully it is just a holiday related snafu. Overall I've been extremely pleased with the shipping from SAE. In the past I've had packages arriving in a week or less (record is 5 days), It took a little longer this time but 11 days total is still better than my Amazon orders so it's all good.

[Brad1107]

I'm in Australia and my package shipped on December 12th. A week ago the shipping updates said "package left US" and a note was added saying "expected delivery on or about the 27th. This date came and left, I checked the tracking again today and it still just says 'left US' but the expected delivery note is gone.

I am so paranoid that someone has just taken it from my front door after it's been delivered and if so there's nothing I can do!

[cmleidi]

SA's new shipping and tracking is an absolute mess. Half the time they send you to a website that isn't even delivering your package. They linked my order to UPS when they were shipping it priority mail through USPS. i hope it's true that they are going back to the original method of shipping.

Which of the TT releases has sold the least amount? Mindwarp? Beloved Infidel?

I could be wrong but I believe it would be their Woman Obsessed DVD release. They won’t name which title it is but they occasionally mention a early DVD title that has sold sloooowly. On Bluray... my guess would be The Roots of Heaven considering how long it has been available. I am just guessing though.

For those that don't visit that other forum, there is a slight change coming to TT releases. Starting with the January titles the timeline feature will be removed from discs.

I am a massive Harryhausen fan, and like to study his animation a frame at a time, as Sony and Warner Bros. have enabled me to do. TT, despite its gorgeous work on the Harryhausen titles (and this applies to ALL of its Blu-rays), seem to want to clutter their still-frame images with no option to push the "down" button on the remote to get rid of the timeline. I find that maddening, and I suspect there isn't one single consumer of these titles who is pleased with the lack of such an option. So why is TT doing this? Most studios allow for the removal of these intrusive things. When I pay $30.00 for a Blu-ray (with no discount options, generally), I feel I should be able to view it as I please.

So, why won't you answer my e-mail?

Since we at TT had never realized the timeline was an issue, we simply assumed it was a part of the generic blu-ray authoring process. We were informed by the facility today that the timeline is optional, so starting with the Jan releases, and then going forward from there, TT discs will no longer have one. You learn something new every day.

Happy holidays!

All best,

Nick.

Well that's mighty white of them. I did not realize it was an issue either, but let's be frank here. "Dick" is not going frame by frame to study Harryhausen's effects work, he's going frame by frame looking for some Jane Seymour nipple slippage.
