I've ordered quite a few titles now and every order bar none has come through with a disc value of $5 so that contradicts earlier replies

I've never paid customs so I don't really want to start now

Both Rollerball & Sorcerer now ordered

Sensible to limit Rollerball and Thunderbirds to three per customer.

I was clicking refresh on the main SAE page from 3:55-4:05, so pretty ticked that I missed out simply because they arbitrarily changed the way they've done it every single time in the past. It would have been one thing if I had gotten there at 4:02 and they were all sold out, but I was in the right place at the right time (several minutes before the right time even!

Screen grab (prior to sell out):

Ator the Invincible · 04-23-2014, 08:13 PM

Briefly saw the free Alfredo listed on the site, but it vanished before I could complete my order. Not a big deal, since I already have the movie anyway (not autographed though). Still would have grabbed it though. I just like getting free stuff.

For the record, I did see the autographed Alfredo on the SAE main page complete with a buy button. So it definitely did appear there before the sellout.

I just did the front page and did not have any trouble.

If I hadn't thought of going to the page I did, I probably would've done what you tryed.

I must have literally blinked and it was gone, as I was refreshing constantly from 3:55 on, with my $119 total already in my cart and my account logged in. There's no reason I shouldn't have been able to successfully snag a copy.

Same here. In the UK my clock said 21:00 when the Rollerball thumbnail appeared on the Screen Archives website. 3 minutes later, my Paypal order had gone through!

HBA · 04-23-2014, 08:18 PM

It was definitely on the front page.. seemed normal to me.. saw it there with the Buy now! link for a short minute

@NoirFan - I don't believe SAE changed anything on their end. I seen the autographed blu ray link on their main page over here (it was gone within a minute though). edit: beaten.

I'm surprised this promo sold out faster than the signed Malcolm Mcdowell blu.

NoirFan · 04-23-2014, 08:25 PM

Okay, I somehow missed it then. No idea how, as I was wondering to myself while staring at the front page and clicking refresh from 4-4:01, 'why hasn't it appeared yet?' They must have had VERY few autographed copies - maybe only two dozen or less?

wormraper · 04-23-2014, 08:30 PM

gosh DAMNIT!!!, I miscalculated... I thought it was in another half an hour... missed out on the free copy of Alfredo garcia

I think it showed on the front page slightly before 3:00. May have only been 30 seconds early.

klauswhereareyou · 04-23-2014, 08:35 PM

I wonder if the British titles: Fever Pitch, Rita Sue, are selling.

movielib · 04-23-2014, 08:40 PM

I got the free Front last month but didn't have $100 to buy this month plus I don't care that much for AG. Also I'm out of town and stuck with my tablet instead of my more comfortable and familiar laptop and I don't think I would have gotten it in two minutes.

So I just bought Rollerball.

This brings up something I've always wondered about. At about 3:53 p.m. EST (or so), I logged onto my SAE account in preparation for the order. When the preorders went live (3:59 or 4:00 EST), I filled my cart. When I hit the checkout button at 4:00 or 4:01 EST, I had to log in again. Has this happened to anybody else? This happens to me almost every time (if not every time). I'm just wondering how long SAE's system keeps you logged on before giving you the automatic boot.

gpn · 04-23-2014, 08:42 PM

Rats! I forgot about the Alfredo Garcia promo and waited until after lunch to make my order.

Ah, well. I'll live.

johnny · 04-23-2014, 08:43 PM

I also got the Free Copy and it was on the Home Page as usual.......

On FB someone said they wrote TT about this and TT replied "Sorry--we require it."
