Probably not a good sign :/

It is a little weird they stopped doing a sale, but I did receive 2 pre-orders recently from Scream Team... one just arrived yesterday in the mail.

That is cool though. I just got in The Barn 2 yesterday, I know they are selling that one as well. Though mine came from backing it on Indiegogo. I like a lot of their flicks, and had a list of 3 or 4 I wanted to order. At this point though, I'll just wait until there is less going on~like after the new year...

Thunderbean is having a Black Friday sale. I believe this is a first for them running a sitewide sale. I'm sure most of you never heard of Thunderbean, but I'll just say their catalog is mostly focused on restorations of very early animation, scanned directly from exceptionally rare film reels. Most of their offerings are of the unofficial grey market type, so you won't find much information publicly available on the specific content for every title they sell. They do have some official listings that can be purchased on Amazon, but you won't find this discount there. Seeing how they are a very tiny company running most things out of their home, I think they only deliver to the U.S. but I can not say for sure.

Use code BF2022

You can check out their youtube channel for an idea on the sort of content they offer.

If this sale was posted earlier or elsewhere apologies. Pretty good prices on their product. Not sure how the prices compare to other of their sales, but many are lower than I’ve seen elsewhere. Not sure how long it lasts but it was still active as of tonight. Free shipping over $50, no tax.

Picked up
Double Nickels double feature $11.99
Redneck $10.99
The Banker $9.99
Death Rage $14.99
Ride the Hot Wind $12.99 (yes, it was four cents more than Hamilton books, but no shipping charges)

Overall, quite disappointing Black Friday sales to be honest. Haven't bought anything. Maybe that's a good thing.

Low to high darkforce listing starting at $7.99:

Scream Team has free shipping on $40. Code XMAS2022

Kinda hesitant to place an order though, in case they have a sale closer to Christmas.

I'm saving my money for Kino. When it comes to sales, no one does it better than Kino.

Kino has too many titles.

Takes too long to plow threw them all. I am getting worried about ordering a title I already have but have not watched yet or already researched and passed on or has no screenshots of anywhere so I passed.

I keep thing of making a database but I am too lazy and this site killed its database feature with price tracking years ago.

I am constantly hoping that Warner Archive has this same problem!

VCI is having a 60% off *srp Santa Sale right now. If you're going in for Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things 4K anyhow, might be worth a look :

Please be aware that the KINO website has an awesome feature, if you add a title to your cart, and you previously purchased it from their site, it will prompt you in red letters that you previously purchased it with the purchase date.

I mostly order Kinos on Canadian sites.

There's some good apps that you can utilize to track your collection, not sure if I can mention it here, if its against Bluray.com policy.

Unobstructed View? They’ll do in a pinch as sometimes they have titles the regular site is no longer selling. However, shipping to the US is pretty pricey so probably only really makes sense if you live in Canada already.

You can also just use blu-ray.com to track your collection since you're already here. A bit of a pain to input everything at the start, especially if you've got more than a hundred movies (and who here doesn't?), but easy enough to add movies as you buy them.

One of the few retailers (of anything!) who does that. It's a very nice feature!

Even tracking my collection elsewhere, that's still handy to have right in my face before I click the checkout button.

I currently use My Movies Pro 3 by Binnerup Consult on my Android Phone. They've updated and have a 4 version now. I've been satisfied for it's relatively low cost.
