Totally. When I worked in a bookstore, we had vampire teen lit novels that looked like this all the time.

You're welcome, it's a very useful tool, especially, of course, for packages that you haven't received shipping notices for (though it can also be fun when you unexpectedly discover a package included with your mail!). It may take a few days for packages to show up in the dashboard after the initial registration, but from that point on they should pop up right away.

Also, if you're married or otherwise living with someone, it's apparently a good way to spy on your cohabitator's buying habits.

one more question: is there a way to only get email notifications from specific senders? I'm getting alerts for every single package (or is it letter sized envelopes too?) but I only want to get the alerts for the MVD packages...

[NoirFan]

I don't know - I don't see an option to customize tracking information, but you could email them and ask.

I'm bummed the earliest street date this month is 9/20. On the flipside, with everything due out the last two weeks we might get everything at once.

[NoirFan]

Hills has been delayed until 10/3, so I'm hoping that doesn't mean we'll have to wait on Slugs and Dead-End Drive In as well.

dangit

Looks like Dead End Drive-In is here.

Another Gold Backer got it today, and I think mine should arrive today also.

No Slugs, unfortunately, but that should be arriving soon too I'd guess.

I thought those two might ship together because the street dates are a week apart. Alas.

Just got Dead End Drive-In. The reverse art was not what I was expecting - I'd never seen this art for this flick. It's awesome though.

Me too.

Maybe all of our complaining actually got Arrow and MVD to do something about the early shipping situation...

I don't know about that - we're still waiting on that group explanatory email about stock delays that was supposed to be send back in April (along with the promised Bride pen for backers)!

The 10 year is not that bad. $250/year for all Arrow releases during that time frame. It's a bit of a gamble to see if they are still around. For those that backed, I hope Arrow Video is rocking out for the next 20 years!

I must have missed something because I don't know about any of that!

very UK Heavy so far. I want that Guyver release.

Huge letdown for backers imo.

Interesting that even with only one US-only title (Creepshow), one UK/US title (Pulse), and no less than SIX UK-only titles, people on facebook are ranting about Arrow having sold out and betrayed their UK fan base.

I feel betrayed and bewildered.

...And the one UK-only disc already has an edition from 88 Films (which Arrow UK could therefore never get the rights to anyway). Does social media make people insane, or does it just give them a platform to espouse and encourage their pre-existing insanity?
