Wow, this was also a 5000 LE as opposed to the typical 3000 LE. But Arrow Region B always available for a song
Anyway, got in my three titles last night. I think that's the quickest I've ever gotten a shipment from them. Was nicely packed in a box this time...even though I think the titles from Criterion come out nicer, Twilight Time is my favorite boutique label without question. They just seem to care more. |

Care more about what? While I think their discs are generally of a slightly higher quality than your typical Olive or Kino release, I don't get the sense that TT is pouring their heart and souls into these discs or anything. Outside of the isolated score tracks and occasional (boring) commentary, they pretty much just take what the studios give them and put it on a disc.

Nah, but from the sales they run, how they package their wares, and their covers/presentation make you feel like you are owning a limited edition, not something that came off the line. I've asked them questions from time to time and they have always responded pretty quickly. To me, good service, a good product, and accessibility will go a long way for me. To me, it doesn't seem like they are just putting the movie on a disc. *shrug*
I will give them credit for improving their shipping/distribution. I ordered on Wednesday and received my package by Sunday. That's about as quick a turnaround as I've seen from them. That said, any other label's discs I could just order from Amazon and have them in 2 days. |
Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Arrow Video goes out of their way (though that they don't always get everything right) to make sure each release receives a quality A/V presentation with a nice selection of special features. I would say the other boutique labels, including Scream Factory, mostly dump whatever they get from the studios directly on the disc.

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
I've probably been happiest with MOC/Eureka for consistent quality. Off topic, but I don't remember ever getting low quality Criterion, either.

Don't get me started on Shout because I'm no apologist! Some of the Collector's sets are really nice, but I think they've lost their mind on the pricing. I love how Arrow called them out when they announced they were coming to NA, but I do have to admit Shout has gotten much better since then.

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Getting back to the deals, received an email from Twilight Time (not Screenarchives) with a stock alert/update and pricing at TT. If some of these are gone from Screenarchives, TT might be the last option to get them (unless there are other region alternatives)
Fewer Than 200 Copies Remaining: $9.99 BANDIT QUEEN $14.95 THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES ROLLERBALL (ENCORE EDITION) MURPHY'S LAW REMAINS OF THE DAY HAWAII SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF / SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUNFIGHTER Fewer Than 100 Copies Remaining: $9.95 FLAMING STAR THE FANTASTICS APRIL LOVE $14.95 CAT BALLOU I COULD GO ON SINGING THEATRE OF BLOOD HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE THE TRAIN (ENCORE EDITION) HOMBRE LA BAMBOLA DI SATANA (THE DOLL OF SATAN) THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT $19.95 MISSISSIPPI BURNING Fewer Than 50 Copies Remaining: $9.95 CHE! SAVE YOUR LEGS SOLOMON AND SHEBA THE FORTUNE TWILIGHT SAMURAI $14.95 U-TURN STORMY WEATHER THE HAWAIIANS 9 TO 5 $24.95 GUN FURY |
Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
The problem with these low stock alerts is they give no indication of how many may be in the SAE warehouse. Sure TT may have less than 50 Stormy Weathers...but for all we know, 100 or more could be sitting over at SAE. --Peter

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
How could gun fury be even close to selling out? They probably have a ton at Screen Archives.
|
Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Could be a marketing ploy: keep a deliberately low number of copies at TT so as to claim "sold out" status early on in order to drive sales -- especially among 3D junkies like myself -- at SAE while the disc is still fairly high-priced. I suppose it's almost working because I've been hovering over Gun Fury since that memo went out, unsure of whether to call their possibly non-existent bluff and wait for the next price drop. :lol:

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
I bought Miss Sadie Thompson 3D last sale for 19.95 and now it's 14.95. So bet it will go down.

I'm confused about the higher price comment though since it's been extremely rare for SAE to be priced higher that TT itself. More times than not either TT runs the same sale as SAE or SAE has the bulk of the sale prices.

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Just got an email announcing some new additions to the 7/$70 bundle deal, though they don't specify. I think it's these:

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals

Damn $6.95 .Too bad I own most of these movies already.

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Really not much of a sale. Most if not all of these were in their choose 7 for 70 dollars bundle sale for the last several months.

Re: Twilight Time Blu-Ray Deals
Perhaps Fatherland, Save Your Legs and maybe Secret of Santa Vittoria. I dunno, I love TT's stuff but I feel like I'm digging along the bottom of the barrel (more than usual).
