Code Red Blu-ray Discussion Thread (RIP Bill "Bananaman" Olsen)

The irony, of course, being that no one was complaining in the FB post that mentioned the additional footage on the Nightmare VHS; the guy who posted it outright said that Code Red's release was fantastic and everyone should pick up a copy, and that he only posted it because he thought it was cool. Bill was the only one that got upset about it.

I very much doubt that. It's barely been available to buy for ages.

The irony is that there seems to be one coming out for the German market.

No idea how legit it is but it's limited to 1000 and if it actually becomes available I think it'll probably sell out. The extras look culled from the DVD releases. I'd still actually rather have the Code Red one as it has the original audio and is definitely legit but of course I'm not allowed to buy one.

I could see it being sold out. Of all the CR releases, I think that one has the most appeal

If Just Before Dawn is still around I think this one will be too for now, especially with the erratic sales plan. Besides, I'm sure Bill would have found a way to mention it by now if so.

I think 1200 or whatever is quite a lot when you're only selling to one portion of a worldwide niche market.

What's Bill's issue with shipping to Canada...i can understand internationally, but atleast we share a continant...its just an imaginary line.

Do you think Bill will produce more copies of Savage Streets in the future?

How many poor selling Code Red titles are still available is a better question? There is no rhyme or reason to the supposed "poor selling" titles disappearing even though Bill has stated that he has to have 500-1,000 copies pressed at a time. If he has sold out for once, then I'm happy for the guy. He deserves a positive break for a change.

SS was 1000 copies. JBD was 2000-3000

crazy, i just assumed they were sold out because of the crazy ebay prices, im not really familiar with code red but from reading this thread i guess things are pretty sporatic and all over the place lol, well i guess all i can do is hope it turns up on Diabolik, at the very least i hope they get some Neon Maniacs stock soon.

I typically don't add anything into my collection, even if it's been (pre-)ordered, until it's physically in my collection. If you're wanting to take those into account, you can add one to Messiah of Evil...

Yeah that is why I decided to pull the trigger on them. In case he does something Bill-like, such as threatening to destroy stock again

I'm currently doing one for Arrow (long effort), and Sold out limited to 1000 titles only have 100-150 in their collections, leading me to think blu-ray.com only represents about 10-15% of sales.

I would do the calculations here, but its a lot of effort. Maybe later

[fuzzymctiger]

Doing the calculations observed from the Arrow thread, nearly every release here would be sold out, or nearly sold out.

From that, I conclude that those observations can not be applied here.

[jthefrank]

It's not a terrible observation. Most Twilight Time titles seem to sell out at 300-400. And the Demons steelbooks should be close, and are in that neighborhood.

CR may just have a larger than average representation on this site
