Mine came in an envelope with some bubble wrap.

Same element that was used to make Code Red's DVD release, which didn't sell, except we had to pay thousands more to fix the damn color. But Bill wants to know why you are asking cause you're not gonna buy it anyway.

Plus, the Dead Pit slip was the same quality as a regular Code Red slip, plus some rough embossing work and a little gloss. I can’t imagine that the cost to produce that was much more than any of their other slips.

You should try and produce a slip like that before you can imagine what time and effort it cost. Our main replicator said it's never been done before like that. Fans are raving about it and we've been receiving pics from all over the country. It's miles beyond any regular Code Red slip which cost a fraction of the price. The next one in the series will be even more improved now that we went through the first which was the hardest.

Psycho From Texas looks cool!

I want to buy Dead Pit but I can't because I haven't been lucky enough to be online when the store is open
And I've been a loyal customer, I even messaged Dark Forces and asked if there was something we could arrange so that I can pay them and get the movie but alas, it didn't happen.

If there is a good reason, spill it instead of playing games

maybe it's nunya bidness.

It's sold out now as far as we know.

I think you misunderstand what being a fan of a label is. Fans of the Dead Pit are raving about not being able to get to your site to buy it. Losing fans & customers both there, pal.

Ahh never forget that you’re replying to the biggest shill on this website, remember it once got a shoddy free Blu-Ray for brown nosing. Can’t wait for the inevitable post arguing why a thin glow-in-the-dark slipcover is superior to an informative booklet because apparently the average Dark Force customer can’t read or relies on Wikipedia too much

If I never heard about slipcovers again, I’d die happy

Are you serious now man? Does anybody even look at those booklets? You have to strain your eyes to read them they are so small. The Dead Pit slipcover is like a work of art that can be displayed and shown off. This exact type has NEVER been done before and was no easy feat. Do you really believe that had we done a booklet over the customized slipcover it would have been the hit that it turned out to be?? We certainly would not have gambled our money on that but we did with the custom slip and it paid off in spades. Not to mention the extreme gratification of having so many of the fans respond well to it.

Now if only you’d put a limit on scalpers from the beginning and actually had your website up and running for longer than 47 minutes at a time so fans of the film could purchase the film, we’d have something.

I don't know about everyone else, but I personally read all of the booklets. I can only think of a handful that are really small or dark enough to necessitate pulling out a magnifying glass to read them.

Even Arrow stopped booklets other than the very first run of discs because almost no one cares about them, and Arrow was a huge supporter of them. Probably only a matter of time before they fully get the axe.

Not true. They stop them after first run for the same reason glow in the dark slips stop after first run.

This mentality of collectors is beyond me. It should be about the movies and not the look on the shelf. You can always buy the release and put the slipcover in a drawer in hopes that they release others. Then you have your matching set with regular cases.
