I'm wondering if TCM will have them for sale today and if you can use the 30% off coupon.

I would not trust ordering a limited exclusive from TCM at all. It would be playing with fire unless it is a back-up order.

I'll definitely buy the Blob from SA just in case. I'll probably buy the rest from TCM with the 30% coupon along with the Blob.

Pre-orders are live. I grabbed The Believers, The Blob and The Vanishing. 1 copy each...I'm buying them so I can enjoy them, not so I can try and flip them further down the road.

Just finished pre-ordering THE BLOB. Looking forward to watching it again, and also with the commentary track.

It was for me as well. Might take a few minutes, but it'll all go through.

The Believers is very under-rated IMO.

Just a note. TCM has all the pre-orders up. Use SORRY30 coupon to get them for $25 each.

Nice, I was on the fence about The Believers, Audrey Rose and The Vanishing.

Re: The Blob (1988) Twilight Time--Where Can I Buy a Copy?

I went ahead and ordered 1 copy of The Blob (it is actually a fave film of mine, saw it in the theater with my brother, Shawnee Smith, Matt Dillon, it has a great cast), and it looked like they had the CD Soundtrack for sale for $5, so that completed my order.

Thanks so much to this thread...would not have known about this release if the OP had not asked their question.

Got the blob today and noticed the believers as well! I JUST watched it for the first time on Netflix last night and liked it a lot. Too bad I only had funds for one movie. I'm hoping it will still be there in like 2 weeks.

Picked up two copies yesterday, one for myself and one as a gift to someone I know loves the film and is pretty much guaranteed to miss out on the pre-order.

Thanks for the links and reminders, all!

The Blob is now limited to one copy per customer.

Obviously, it is doing pretty well right out of the gate. Has anyone seen any numbers being reported as to how many are left?

Yes the 14th.Unless it sells out before that date.

But I believe raising this release to 5k and then only 1 copy per customer when
it got down to 1500 copies left has really hurt people(I'm being nice) trying to make a profit on TT releases.Only about 6 have been sold on ebay,most going
for around $50.
I wonder if they will get a lot of canceled orders if it does not sell out
by release day?

But this is good for us buyers,still not A cheap price,but I'm glad companies like TT are around releasing these tittles that might never make it to blu-ray if they did
not release these type of movies.

The Blob will sell 5000 copies but I doubt the aftermarket for it ever gets as crazy as it did for Fright Night.
