Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Kino's sales are becoming rather difficult to suss out sometimes. This one seems impossible to find if you're just clicking around their website. Thankfully someone linked to it on Twitter and I got a notification:

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Damn it, Brian T....had to get all of the $9.98 titles. Thank you for the post though, can't beat these prices although several in true Kino style, are substandard quality and probably the only chance to own it in what's offered as HD

Thanks. Wish the free ship was a lower threshold.

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Also Kino loses the rights to "The Hurricane"(1937) on July 31, 2017. Stock is limited. This information is from an insider, Mr. Lime, from Kino and was posted on the Home Theater Forum website.
Sale ends May 7, 2017.
Note that when you put the blu ray of the "The Hurricane" in your cart it says "Temporarily Out of Stock" but they still allow you to order it. It was asked at the Forum if this meant it was out of stock for good since Kino is losing the rights. Mr Lime responded he is pretty sure they still have stock left. If you want it, you shouldn't wait.
Kino is based in New York City, so New Yorkers will be paying sales tax. Not sure about the rest of the country.

Has anyone seen both the Roan DVD & The Kino blu-ray of Lugosi's Invisible Ghost & if so could you comment on how much of an upgrade it is? (The Roan was quite good).

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
I ordered over a week ago and while I got an e-mail stating a Fed Ex shipping label had been created and the expected ship date was 4/21 my package never shipped. I e-mailed them yesterday evening and they were quick to respond today. They sent a replacement order and I just got notice the replacement order shipped today. Sorry I had the problem but very responsive customer service.

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Man, there's a number of titles I've considered adding to my collection. For some reason, I just can't pull the trigger. But may add all or a couple of these before the sale ends:
Cuba
The Sicilian Clan
Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?
The Hurricane
The Skull
The Man Who Could Cheat Death
Papa's Delicate Condition
Where's Poppa?

Oh, and Tom Weaver's commentary is quite good, as is always the case.

I'm still on the fence on this one. My #5 would either be Chamber of Horrors or The Captive City (neither of which I've seen). Any opinions?

How long is it typically taking most of you to receive your orders? My order with their last sale took about three weeks to get to me.

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
1. Called 5/1 - lady said it should have been shipped long time ago (her words) and then she says 'ok, there was 1 item that was backordered. we now have it, so it should ship today'. I ask if there's an email of shipment that will be sent, she says 'yes'. No email of shipment as the day ends
2. Called 5/2 - guy says he has no idea why order has not shipped although it was in approved status. he says he will get in touch with the warehouse and send me an email. none comes my way
3. Called today 5/3 - guy puts me on hold, calls warehouse, comes back on and says 'warehouse says my order was taken care of on 5/2' (his exact words). I ask what do you mean taken care of - are you telling me it was shipped ? Guy says once again 'yeah thats what I presume when they say it was taken care of'. I say 'well thats good to know, can I have a tracking number ?' guy puts me on hold again, comes back after a few mins and says warehouse will send me an email of shipment. I ask why he can't get the same when on the phone with them - he says once again 'warehouse says they will send you one and am sorry there's nothing else I can do'. I tell him 'this is the customer service number - where else will I go if I need help with status of a shipment of an order that's been 13 days since order placement ?' Complete silence from the other side.
I kid you not, this shitshow wasn't what I signed up for with my $275 order. I hung up in frustration and will call again tomorrow - guess why ? cos I STILL don't have a f'n tracking number or email !!!

I wonder if somebody involved with Invasion of the Body Snatchers a few years later didn't see this film and incorporate its framing device...?

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Captive City is terrific! I don't own the Blu-Ray yet, but it runs on the digital broadcast sub-channels here often enough and I've seen it a couple times. It's a Robert Wise film. Even if the plot is a little pedestrian, the whole film was shot on location and I get a kick simply from his compositions. Nearly every shot is a little work of art.

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Called them tonight and was told my order was indeed en route. Apparently the rep saw more detail when she clicked the FedEx tracking number than I do when I click it. Guess we'll see when I visit my mailbox next weekend.

Re: Kino KL Studio Classics Spring Sale
Not yet, but I just checked my order's status in a link in my order confirmation email. It's marked as arrived at a local USPS station. Should be in my mailbox today or tomorrow. Monday at the latest. I hope.
Never did get an email confirming shipping.
