They're having a quick classics sale which will be followed by the summer sale. Probably right around the middle of July if not a little sooner.

I'm already looking forward to the sale after the next sale

Anyone remember what time (EST) the Barnes & Noble prices go live?

Midnight, but...

Every sale seems to have some item that doesn't change for 12-24 hrs, a different onset time, occasionally items that shouldn't be on sale that are. The rarest of all is when 12:01am ET rolls around and every item flips at the same time, no mistakes, no left out items, no extra items AND the site doesn't crash.

Shout Factory are havng an anime sale with up to 60% off. A few good deals in there. The Belle 4K CE is only $31.99.

Sadly this sale only scratches the surface of their vast catalog.

While that maybe true, there's a good chance your discs from their vast catalog will come with scratches.

I hope the RightStufAnime Birthday Sale gets more alluring over the coming weeks. Complete series I bought for $15-20 a few years ago are 50-150% more expensive now.

Sadly, I suspect this may be the new reality ...

Camp Arrow Video Summer Sale 2023t

Since B&N is skipping the month, I ordered a few HK films that I had been waiting for a sale.

Do we know that? I was just assuming it’ll run for the two weeks at the end of the month or maybe in August to not overlap anymore.

Any rumblings about when Shout's Summer of Fear sale is starting this year? Anxiously awaiting that one.

I was wondering the same thing.
Been holding off spending anything, hoping it would be soon and hoping the Friday the 13th set goes down because of it

[TolerancEJ]

lol These sales are "killing" me... Vinegar Syndrome, Criterion, Camp Arrow.

Kino Lorber's sale is coming mid-July. I agree... Shout will probably announce something soon.

[Rayjg]

Kino best announce their sale soon. Every time I go somewhere I somehow black out and end up in a Barnes & Noble parking lot. I then tell myself one Criterion and no more. Five titles later, and over $100 poorer, i slink home only to do it again in a day or two. I’ll be flat broke in another week

For me it's a race between Kino and Scream Factory. Who will start theirs first?! Who will get my money...? Stay tuned to find out!

For me, i am more interested in the Kino Summer Sale. I received 9 titles that had scratches on the disc from Scratch Factory from the last recent 4K sale they had less than 2 months ago and i was not happy about it. I have NEVER received a scratched disc yet from Kino. Besides, i believe Kino is the current best boutique physical media company out there, not that i dis Scratch Factory but they need to get there quality control problem under control sooner than later. I did however recently preorder My Bloody Valentine exclusive on 4K UHD from the site as that is a must title on 4K for me and my most wanted upgrade from them. Happy to see both versions in 4K i just hope that set comes "scratch free" as it is not cheap. Let the sales commence...

That does suck though. I don't know if they are somehow cutting corners with their discs or what~but it seems to be something mostly associated with SF.

I honestly might just place a WSL order with Kino as I can probably get to free shipping with that~and then just wait on the other sales to come
