Why So Blu?

Tempted to blind-buy Thriller (isn't that who Daryl Hannah's character in the Kill Bill movies is based off of? At least the look of her, not the being mute part). I loved Cloak & Dagger growing up as a kid. They used to air it on KCOP Channel 13 here in the 1980's. Fuck, those prices are nuts, though.

I've never purchased a title during a Halfway to black Friday sale. Will Thriller: A Cruel Picture be cheaper during the actual Halfway sale Memorial Day weekend, or cheaper as a pre-order now? It's the only new release I'm interested in.

Adam Tyner

If the packaging isn’t a huge selling point and you don’t mind waiting a bit, there should be a standard release down the road (available at other retailers like Amazon and target.com), and some version should be 50% off in November.

It’ll be more expensive in May. This Flash sale is the least it’ll be for the next few months.

Toddarino

Thriller won’t be on sale at Halfway to BF. I think it’s six months after release until it’s added to their sales.
There’s a lot I’d get this month, but these prices are getting bonkers. I might just start picking up releases that are dwindling in quantity on their sale weekends. Unless it’s a title I’ve been dying to see.

Adam Tyner

My sentiments exactly.

Paff

Slightly cheaper this weekend, like three bucks or something. As someone already mentioned, it will only be reasonably priced starting at the Black Friday sale if you can wait that long. I sure can.

BUT, it will bump you up higher on the shipping priority list. You'll be right after subscribers, but above us riff-raff who just purchase older catalog titles at true 50% off.

Took the plunge and bought Miami Connection and Thriller. Almost got the bundle but couldn't justify the additional $110 for four titles I'm iffy on, two of which are mystery titles.

Adam Tyner

We are cursed with the same brain. I also wrestled with the idea of getting the entire bundle, but I wound up just ordering Miami Connection and Thriller. Everything else I'm fine waiting for the full reveals, and I'll buy whatever else from this batch I'm interested in (which may wind up being nothing) in November when they're half-off (even if I miss out on the fancier slipcovers, which I don't really care about anyway). I have a feeling the mystery titles are movies I might've been excited about getting a couple of years ago but wouldn't find worth squeezing onto my overstuffed shelves these days.

And I mostly remember Cloak and Dagger more as "that movie that was always, always, always on cable" rather than "that movie I really liked growing up", so I'm okay waiting for a sale or skipping it altogether.

Toddarino

I’d be really pumped if one of those mystery titles was Blood Beach.

Paff

Are you sure you don't mean Beastmaster?

Toddarino

Damn those wonderful bastards. Thanks to the email that was just sent out from VS stating that Thriller is half sold out am getting the urge to make the purchase. A regular edition is down the line, but it won’t include the They Call Her One Eye cut. Since that is the only version I’m familiar with, it makes this very enticing.

SterlingBen

Same, I was going to hold off until BF but the FOMO got me. (That and the Flesh For Frankenstein coupon they sent out expiring in a few days).

Adam Tyner

I’m definitely familiar with the old HBO joke and have some memories of watching Beastmaster as a kid, but I more vividly remember Cloak and Dagger being on one of the cable channels every time I’d turn it on.

PhantomStranger

Cloak and Dagger was always on television along with WarGames. They seemingly would switch between those two for years.

This sale got me to drop 165 on 4 titles. They really know how to squeeze every drop of milk out with the special packaging, low stock and other stuff.

Toddarino

I just sold two boxes of movies for $200 and $100 credit at a cool video store in Milwaukee. Guess I might as well piss it away.

cultshock

Kind of the look of the character more than anything. I bought the Synapse (?) special edition DVD of the film years ago, it was ok but not amazing. I ended up selling it for a decent profit once it went out of print, I didn't see it as a film I would be revisiting much .

Being a subscriber now this order will be smaller than usual for BF. Catalog slips, alternate slips and a few titles for me

If you are interested in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 4k but not interested in the high price for the hard cover, DeepDiscount has it up for pre-order with a release next week at a nice price.

So I’ve never ordered from VS before and I pre-ordered Road House for 44.99 in October because I didn’t want to miss out. Seeing as they aren’t shipping it yet, was that stupid to do? I don’t remember the list price but I’m assuming it wasn’t $90 and since they’re including it in their 1/2 off BF sale, seems like I’m leaving money on the table.

Hopefully ordering earlier will at least mean mine will ship before they fulfill all the BF orders.

SterlingBen

I’m pretty sure it’s too new and won’t be included in the 50% off part of the sale. Also the wait is normal for the boutique companies, more so Severin but yeah VS too.

Captsmee.00

it won’t be 50% off unless your a subscriber where it’s already 50% off

Paff

No, you did the right thing if it's a movie you really want. And you're right about the shipping too.

Keep in mind (and I love/hate this about VS sales), you can add to the order all weekend and it will all ship together at no extra cost. Since you've never ordered from VS before, this is a great way to back fill your collection with older catalog titles that WILL be 50% off.

Thanks for the info guys appreciate it.
