Have to agree here; both ship very quickly.

White Ghost ordered at that price.

Maybe Dark Force can release Club Dread in Blu? It’s not available in any region. With Super Troopers 2 getting a great box office start, the time is more than right for a cult favorite like Club Dread to see a release.

Same here. I told Bill I was not going to buy anything in “a while”...I hope three days is long enough since I just purchased White Ghost

.

I would also recommend After The Fall NY to anyone who does not already have it

Are the Dark Force releases numbered on the spine?

Haha, good question

-Chaos/Dont Look in the Basement - No #
-Offerings 1st pressing No #, 2nd pressing (red dotted border on spine) labelled "1"
-House edge park/Masscare street 1st pressing (red text) No #, 2nd pressing (blue text) "2"
-House that Vanished "3"
-Kill or Killed also "2"

I thought it was 4? I have to go double check, because they also put 2 on House on the Edge of the Park/Last House on Masscare street 2nd pressing w/ blue text.

Maybe since they are getting new distributor OOPing the Kino releases and House that Vanished being OOP they are just counting Offerings as the official #1 then?

So two releases with the same spine number? I am sure a top executive from Code Red was involved in making that decision

?

Yup he's right kill or be killed is also #2 like 2nd pressing of DRIVE IN #2

I find the numbering stuff pointless anyway...

The numbers are the same cause one is number 2 of the drive in line and the other is number 2 of regular releases.

Yeah, that makes sense. Two different series ongoing at the same time.

Agreed. It's a blast. George Eastman in ape makeup, classic.

I have actually found Dark Force to be a little faster. Somethimes get a shipping notice in a couple of hours.

I also found IN THE AFTERMATH to be excellent though that one doesn't seem to get mentioned as much. Really weird and unique hybrid film.

Yes they do... international shipping rates. 4 titles at Dark Force is $22, $15 over at Ronin. It’s the last time I’ll bring this up as I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but it would be great if you could compete with them in that regard.

Btw, congratulations on the recent acquisitions!! Really looking forward to Mirror Mirror… what artwork you are planning to use for this one?

FarewelltotheFlesh · 04-20-2018, 06:39 PM

I'm stoked that two of my favourite rentals are getting the deluxe treatment. I was hoping Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance would get announced and Dark Force announced it this morning. Super stoked! Hope they use this artwork

Yeah I was all excited when he announced Shipping charges were cheaper to Canada, but they were still more expensive than Ronin.

I always receive my shipments from Ronin in a week to a week and a half, and they are always packaged very well in a box. Never have to worry about slipcovers getting ruined during shipping, which is a huge plus, especially when we're paying a premium for these.

Hopefully they can be a little more comparable if they are going to take over selling Code Red's releases. Does Dark Force ship in bubble mailers or boxes?

spawningblue · 04-20-2018, 08:45 PM

While we are giving constructive feedback, it would be nice if Dark Forces website was organized a little better. Maybe alphabetically, or by sub-genres?

I find Ronin much easier to find products because of that. I love if I just want to see their slipcovered titles, I can click one button and they're all there. Creature Features, boom, one button and they're all there. Dark Force's website pretty much forces you to go through all the pages to find what you're looking for.

Their system has a seller’s advantage in that by looking through the entire inventory a buyer might buy additional items. Not sure how many options they have using “Cartel”.
