Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

I placed an order to replace the Mill Creek Hammer double features I have with much better versions

The Gorgon
The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
The Revenge of Frankenstein
The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll

Came out to £31.43, which looks like it'll be about $39

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

I would say I own about 80% of the box sets Indicator has put out, so all of these broken up singles in this sale mess with me when I'm browsing. I finally settled on:

Columbia Noir 5
Hammer Robin Hood set
A Time for Dying
Bullfighter and the Lady

Finally got a shipping notice for my order from this sale. Apparently it was one of their biggest ever (with eight limited editions going out of print, with standard editions later this year), so there were delays (I'd actually forgotten I'd even placed an order!). I likewise already own the vast majority of their box sets, so decided to clean up on all the region-free singles I didn't already have (and some versions that may replace US editions I already own):

DEADLY AFFAIR
ROADGAMES (already have Umbrella edition)
CASTLE KEEP
BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING (already have Twilight Time)
THE RECKONING
THE MIND OF MR. SOAMES
THE LEGACY
THE COLLECTOR
SEE NO EVIL
PSYCHE 59
HARDCORE
FRAGMENT OF FEAR
EYES OF LAURA MARS
ENDLESS NIGHT
BREAKOUT
A DANDY IN ASPIC
BERSERK
EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (already have Twilight Time, but not many supplements on that)
+
CREATURE THE WORLD FORGOT - LIMITED EDITION

Might be ages before I order another sale batch from them. Could be a while before a big enough round of standard editions get down to the £4.99 price point.

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

I got my shipping notice today too for my 3/25 order that I posted above. The shipping notice came about 45 minutes after a separate email apologizing for delays and explaining they were a bit overwhelmed.I was starting to wonder a bit.

Now I'll just see how long it takes to make it here, given that I went with the cheapest possible shipping option. I'm in no hurry though.

Would like to get your feedback on CREATURE THE WORLD FORGOT when you see it. That is the ONLY Hammer film from Indicator that I don't have. I couldn't even get past the trailer...

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

I've owned the UK DVD of Creatures for several years. I believe it was pretty barebones, so I upgraded to the Indicator box largely due to the 2.5+ hours of supplements (not including the commentaries on both the feature and short films). I'm not a huge fan of the film itself. It's just ok, but not one I'd revisit very often. For my money, it's easily the least of Hammer's caveman movies (or whatever they're grouped as), but I've found the extras on most of Indicator's Hammer boxes to be first rate for context, so I'm hoping this will be more of the same. Plus the sale price seemed reasonable. I would've preferred it be Region Free, but the movie is also in a Mill Creek set over here so no luck on that.

Still no shipping notice for my order on the 30th. I’ll give another day or two before I email them.

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

Jut FYI, the email doesn't mention Powerhouse or Indicator, it comes from Lime Wood Media, Ltd., so it's possible you got the notification but missed it.
I placed my order on 3/25 and it shipped 3/31

Yeah the original order confirmation arrived in my junk folder. I almost ignored it due to the company name.

Just like the last time I ordered from them, the packaging for shipment was excellent and everything arrived in perfect condition. Time for a Harryhausen festival! Or at least a Sinbad festival.

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

I cleaned out everything I wanted from them back in the March sale (post #53) and other sales through the ages, and most of their recent releases don’t hold much interest (and are often pretty obscure) but might give this a try as Powerhouse is discontinuing their ‘points’ program at the end of the year and I’ve got a few left over. Use ‘em if ya got ‘em!

$5 a disc and free shipping?! Couldn’t resist. I cleaned out pretty much all their horror titles.

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

Are the reward points tied to a particular account? I have a code for $12USD, but I can't combine with an order that contains any of the 3 for $5 titles (even with lots of regular priced stuff in the cart). And shipping to the US for one or two items is way more than the $12 which pretty much makes it meaningless to me. So if it's not tied to an account, I'm happy to pass it along to someone in the UK to redeem - just e-mail me: prognerd at mindspring comdot. --Peter

yeah 😊, my cart is worth nearly $260, hence the ask. At $1.21 in exchange, that’s well last the pound limit

Cleared cookies, selected shopping option with £ and recreated shopping cart and this time it worked. Loaded up on most LE's with low stock. Interestingly some LE's that showed up as OOS previously were now available to order again as 'Pre Orders'. I hope that they are not the Standard Editions because the title description clearly says LE. One of the best annual sales as you can't get these titles for anywhere close to these prices any other time of the year.

Shipping really hurts. I’m only halfway to the 200 otherwise I’d take a few more.

Best way to handle Indicator sales in the US is a group buy.

Re: Powerhouse/Indicator (UK) Blu-ray Sales

Indicator’s big sale is on. As usual, the threshold for free shipping to North America is obscene, but actual shipping on a large enough order may be bearable, so it’s could be worth testing out things in your cart:
