I really wanted to pick something up. Checked out the Monsters/Madmen set. In the end I just couldn't see paying $30 for something I probably wouldn't watch ;)

tlwizard 09-23-07 12:56 PM

Can't believe I missed this thread yesterday.

Well, thanks to the OP, I've at least been able to pick up Monsters & Madmen, which I've had on my list for a while. Also decided to try out Border Radio and Flowers of St. Francis at those prices.

damn, I'm so pissed I missed out on equinox and green for danger, would have also liked to pick up jigoku as a blind buy but I was able to pick up monsters and madmen.

jdpatri 09-23-07 07:45 PM

Picked up Monsters and Madmen and A Woman Ascends the Stairs. Like most I would have ordered more had I not already owned Green for Danger and Jigoku.

I've been waiting to pick up the M&M set since release. Thanks OP and everyone else for listing all the details.

I grabbed Monsters and Madmen. Now I just hope I dont get charged the full price when it ships.

marty888 09-23-07 08:15 PM

Couldn't resist - jumped in for <i>Monsters & Madmen</i>.

Mosskeeto 09-24-07 01:47 AM

I see that the prices have jumped on When A Woman Ascends...and The Flowers Of St. Francis. Monsters And Madmen is still cheap.

alfonsosoriano 09-24-07 06:46 AM

Got my shipping notice for Equinox and Green for Danger. This was the second order I made too, I wonder why it shipped quicker? The price is $14 a piece, niiice.

I doubt you will. Amazon probably has a shitload of these which weren't selling.

I'm sure there are other shitload of titles in Criterion line-up. Amazon may as well put those for similar prices too. I won't mind buying them all ;)

Wish I would have found this sooner, really wanted Green for Danger and A Canterbury Tale, but settled for Border Radio and Monsters & Madmen set

Heliosphann 09-24-07 09:04 AM

NOOOO!

I brought up Monsters and Madmen and it came up as $28, then I put it in my cart and it came up as $71. Then I went back to the main page and the price was also changed!

Oh well, somebody on marketplace was selling it new for $26! Got it for $29 shipped, so hopefully that'll work out.

Interesting, yesterday only one seller had it for that: Amazon. The next seller was around $50.

Mosskeeto 09-24-07 03:37 PM

I've gotten a shipping notice for one order of 4 titles but not the second order which was Monsters And Madmen even though it was placed not much later. Free shipping chosen.

blokhed 09-24-07 04:36 PM

Tried for St. Francis, but it's already back to $26. Shoot.

Cosmic Bus 09-24-07 04:46 PM

My order from Saturday morning hasn't even entered "shipping soon" status, but at least the prices are still reflecting the discount.

gryffinmaster 09-24-07 04:52 PM

Well, crap. I would've snatched up When a Woman Ascends the Stairs if I had seen this in time. :(

alfonsosoriano 09-24-07 05:21 PM

Yeah the order I placed second shipped before the order I placed first. First order had Monsters and Madmen and Jigoku and then I went back to order Green for Danger and Equinox.

sandman007 09-24-07 05:38 PM

Heh...My order is being shipped from one coast to another and back again. UPS is so wonky.

Brent L 09-24-07 05:45 PM

My shipping estimate keeps changing - it now says:

Delivery estimate: October 4, 2007 - October 10, 2007

Yeah, same here. My Green for Danger is on the way though so I can't be too disappointed.
