I placed all my titles together to take advantage of the free shipping. It would have added quite a bit to split it between in stock and pre-order and there isn't any movie I feel I must have immediately.

I thought Mardi Gras Massacre was delayed/cancelled, but Amazon list a release date of 6th January.

I think the issues have been sorted out, whatever they were. I've preordered it direct from 88 Films.

Iceman Cometh pushed back to Boxing day now

Severin releasing I Miss You Hugs and Kisses!
I hope 88 did a joined up release like Night of the Demon for this too

Release date on 88’s site still says 19th….if it had changed I’d have thought it would’ve changed on there too?

With regards to Dragons Forever, I’ve seen a couple of posts on Twitter saying that there’s issues on the 4K discs with English subtitles disappearing for a substantial amount of dialogue (around the 16min and 1hr16min mark), but apparently the BD disc is fine.

I’ve not had a chance to check yet

Balls - was hoping for my order arriving next week sometime

Why delay it a week? Obviously fine waiting, just curious.

Terracotta are hoping to start shipping this early next week (had communication with them regarding my order of Dragons Forever being combined with Iceman and something else).

[saltysam]

When was the last 88 release to hit the original release date? They should follow the Kino method, announce a title and just say it's coming,and lock in a street date when they are sure it's going to make it.

Yes - I was hoping that too

I ordered Iceman along with Snakes & Crane so I'm not expecting it until next year

[CavebobSpongeman]

Is anyone still waiting for their sale order to be DISPATCHED? There aren't any preorders in my order so I'm getting a little worried. Just wondering whether to email them or just wait.

They stated a few times on social media that the demand was much more than they anticipated. I would say they are very busy sorting orders out so I would wait

Received a dispatch email today regarding my 88 order. Sent by Royal Mail 48, so I expect it in the new year!!

I got my sale dispatch notice a little while ago. Surprisingly, I also got a Eureka dispatch notice for an order from a couple of days ago. I wonder if they ship from the same warehouse.
