I ordered



x3

I may place a second order before the sale ends.

It's rather amazing that this sale is positioned such that it begins on a payday and ends on a payday. I just placed an order, and will likely place another on the 22nd.

Today's order:

The Purple Rose of Cairo
Hombre
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
House of Bamboo
The Little House
Broken Lance
Sense and Sensibility

I tried for some variety, though I ended up with two Westerns.

On edit: I suppose that the biggest problem with this sale is that because it's from Twilight Time's own site, a lot of the earlier releases aren't available.

[bunkz323]

Picked up the 3 I've been wanting for since forever lol
Vampires, At close range and state of grace. If I can be done teverything sale ends I will get La Bamba and maybe Salvador.

[jayembee]

By the way, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but...

At TT's home page, you get

Home | New Releases | Going Fast | Cases | Blu-ray Titles | News

If you click on "Blu-ray Titles", you get

View By: Actor/Director | Composer | Decade | Label | View All

If you mouse over "Label", there's a drop-down that allows you to choose "Flicker Alley" as well as "Twilight Time". Unfortunately, choosing "Flicker Alley" results in a blank list, but I wonder if this means that TT has a deal to distribute FA titles sometime in the future.

So I picked up:

Black Widow
Born Yesterday
House of Bamboo
The Last Detail
Lenny
Oliver!
Strange Invaders
Violent Saturday

This represents my first order from Twilight Time, and I had a little trouble with the website. I kept getting directed to a screen that told me I did "not have permission to access this page", which is not the most consumer-friendly message to be sending someone who's trying to buy your product. But all's well that ends well ... I finally got my order in, so I'm a happy camper.

Is there a free shipping for certain sized orders, or no? There's only one title I really want, but a few I'd consider.

[tallrichard]

I added a few with the sale...

The Believers
Brannigan
Dogs Of War
Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation
Only Game In Town
The Wayward Bus


Mr Hobbs is the deal for $15!

No

[NoUse4AName68]

Can someone help me determine if these are fake? At a convention and seeing the several oop twilight time titles for 15 each. The printing on the back looks a little sketchy maybe but I've never see these before in person.

Sorry for the bad quality. Phone was dying. There was in like flint, as good as it gets, Philadelphia, and two or three others.

Got in on some more genre stuff though: Count Yorga Vampire, Strange Invaders, and 1984.

I wonder if it's sold out, since it's no longer included in the "All Titles" list, either.

Bummer, because I wanted to grab it, too.

Anyway, I knocked off the rest of my building wish list...

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
The Detective
Inherit The Wind
Judgment at Nuremburg
To Sir With Love
La Bamba

And might go back looking for a couple more before the sale ends.

/glad I bought Zardoz months ago when I saw it was on the "going fast" list. Doesn't look like Sean Connery's bulge survived this sale, either.

[darkness2918]

Got my first Twilight Time BD in the mail today, Vampires. With this sale going on I'm gonna grab a few more to add to my collection.

My lord I hate the Twilight Time website -- I just spent 15 minutes updating my wishlist. A chore that would have taken 2 minutes at SAE which I did also tonight.

Organize a wishlist -- nope. Once it there it's stuck. Load a cart from your wishlist -- not that I can figure it out . Click in the middle of the picture instead of the edge and you get a completely different page -- aghhh!
Takes 5x time longer to load and cart and complete an order -- TT doesn't get paid by number of minutes browsing on their site?

I disliked it the first time I tried to do anything there and I have come to loathe the overly complicated style -- all pics, minimal text until you click 3 more pages over then click 3 pages back to get where you started

They can't even alphabetize the items correctly -- it's an ergonomic disaster.

Agreed. The TT website leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully they'll listen to feedback and fix it. In due time.

Here are the 117 titles currently on sale for $19.95 or $14.95.



Titles back in stock:


Titles no longer available:

[lemonski]

Silly question: does TT stock all their own titles, or is there some trick to their website? I was looking for Jane Eyre, it doesn't come up at all. It's still listed at SAE.

I believe TT has previously stated that this means there is no more stock of a particular title in the warehouse and SAE has all of the remaining copies on hand.

Is this TT $10 off sale a better deal than SAE's sale?

What's SAE's sale?

[dragon53]

HARISELDON:

Thanks for the info. I've bought from SAE's sales in the past, but can't remember their sale prices, so I was wondering if TT's sale prices are a better deal.
