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

Then are we to believe that nearly all the Code Red blu rays are sold out or near sold out?

[Show spoiler]

I second international shipping!

jthefrank · 10-25-2014, 05:47 AM

No, I think it's the representation. The more niche the label, the larger the % of total sales coming from this site. That's my theory anyways.

I bet Savage Streets is close, or gone, and Neon Maniacs and Nightmare aren't far behind. Bill *****es a lot, but something has to be paying for his continued output.

I think those are extremely sound observations

It would make sense, as this site is American based, and a very large horror community, not to mention titles like this only being available online.

I also believe Just Before Dawn has sold well above 1000 based on the numbers here.

Yes. He has it up for sale on his Big Cartel store right now.

But it looks like he is never going to offer international shipping again. Too many chargebacks from impatient buyers, and he can't be bothered to do the extra work on the customs form.

Plus, I guess, it adds well into his self-fulfilling fantasy that his products don't sell. That way he can keep on complaining.

Us non-'muricans are left to deal with diabolikdvd.com, which would not be bad (they are very reliable) if it were not for the fact that it seems rather random when or even if they ever get stock.

The alternative is to ask somebody you know in the US to forward them to you. That may be the only option when it comes to titles that are low on stock or OOP, where Bill still has a few copies left in his store. It does not look like Diabolik will get titles like that.

Hey everyone..a month ago or so I mentioned that I would help international members of this forum and order code red titles for them to my US address and then reship..charging only the price of the item and my shipping costs from code red and also to reship.

Savage Streets is spoken for already but is there anything else?

Too bad I can't order more than 1 of each..the honest guy gets screwed by a few scalper *******s again

OK so..out of FEAR that Savage Streets would sell out in 5 minutes I went ahead and put an order in, Savage Streets is spoken for (I guess I could put individual orders together if necessary) and I also ordered the following titles, reply if interested or send me an IM:

Neon Maniacs
Just Before Dawn
The Redeemer

Is nail gun massacre OOP?

jthefrank · 10-27-2014, 07:15 PM

Not likely. He pressed at least 1,000, and I don't think it has sold particularly well

Bill says that NGM is down to about 200 copies at the moment. Pretty good for this title, actually.

Well, that could be for any number off Bill reasons

If he manages to move every unit of NGM, then I'm never listening to Bill complain about poor sales again. Did Dogs or Day of the Animals move that many even with retail availability?

I'll ask him to put it back up for sale and keep you posted.

Bill says there are 126 copies left. He said he'll get them back on the Bog Cartel site. I'll let you know when they are live.

jthefrank · 10-27-2014, 07:29 PM

Tx, since you're obviously an insider of some sort; do you have any idea when the 4 prebooks will start shipping?

I only ask because I accidentally used the wrong shipping address, and Bill never responded to my emails. Luckily I (kindof) know the guy at my previous address, but it would be significantly easier for me to keep tabs on that old mailbox for a specific set of days.

I'm the rights holder for NGM. So, I don't have info on the other titles. Sorry!

jthefrank · 10-27-2014, 07:31 PM

Ah gotcha.

For what it's worth I bought the Synapse DVD and the CR BD of NGM

Thank you!

jdw89 · 10-27-2014, 08:18 PM

Is Nightmare OOP too?

dallywhitty · 10-27-2014, 08:24 PM

I was watching a listing of Nightmare on eBay and it went for £50. Yeah, I'm not willing to pay that much for it...

It's a shame it's so difficult to get hold of. It's a film I really want to see but the UK DVD release is pre-cut and the uncut version on YouTube looks and sounds like shit.
