Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

Just noticed these in my cart tonight:

Roger Corman's Action-Packed Collection [Georgia Peaches, The Great Texas Dynamite Chase, Smokey Bites The Dust] - $7.99 (from $13.99)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IB04RG/

The Women In Cages Collection (Roger Corman's Cult Classics) [Big Doll House, Women In Cages, The Big Bird] - $13.49 (from $17.99)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RBC5U6/
(wish they'd drop the price on the Blu-ray instead!)

Fighting Mad / Moving Violation - $10.49 (from $15.99)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IN21VQ/

The Ron Howard Action Pack (Eat My Dust! / Grand Theft Auto) - $11.49 (from $16.99)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NJC0J8/

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry / Race With The Devil - $10.49
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IB04NK/

Jackson County Jail / Caged Heat - $10.99
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AZ7ZLI/

Looks like some of the other Corman sets have dropped as well. Some of these might have been a bit cheaper in recent months, but there's still some attractive savings here . . .

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry/Race With The Devil double feature. I've never seen either flick but I am quite curious about Race With The Devil. I hope it's good.

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

Is Women in Cages the only one of these scheduled for Blu-ray?

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

Looks like Amazon's lowered the prices on most of these again (except the Women in Cages Blu-ray, which is the only one I need!). Preorder of $11.49 on the NURSES 4-pack is decent.

(hopefully this link works)

It worked, thanks.

Where there's one Shout deal there's another... they also have some of the MST3K sets with large discounts: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv&field-keywords=mystery+science+theater+3000&x=0&y=0#/ref=sr_nr_p_n_format_browse-bi_1?rh=n%3A2625373011%2Ck%3Amystery+science+theater+3000%2Cp_n_format_browse-bin%3A2650304011&bbn=2625373011&keywords=mystery+science+theater+3000&ie=UTF8&qid=1332743293&rnid=2650303011. Their Manos 2-disc is $13.49.

Actually various other Shout releases had price drops too. Just to limit the results, here's the results for "Shout Factory" narrowed down to "Horror/DVD": http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv&field-keywords=shout+factory&x=0&y=0#/ref=sr_nr_p_n_format_browse-bi_2?rh=n%3A2625373011%2Ck%3Ashout+factory%2Cp_n_theme_browse-bin%3A2650371011%2Cp_n_format_browse-bin%3A2650304011&bbn=2625373011&keywords=shout+factory&ie=UTF8&qid=1332743651&rnid=2650303011

Kind of a mixed bag on those MST sets. They've had a larger percentage of them on sale for $28-$29 in the recent past. At least a couple of them are in that range this time around, so that's cool . . .

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

The Slumber Party Massacre Collection went down to $12.49 so I pulled the trigger and ordered it using my $5 for $10 GC from last week.

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

I pre-ordered The Nurses Collection (for $11.49 ), but am holding out for a better price on "The Lethal Ladies Collection" Volume 2 and the "Vampires, Mummies And Monsters Collection" to complete my Roger Corman Cult Classics collection. Neither of two sound all that great, so I'm in no big hurry. There's a Shout Factory exclusive ("Streets/Angel in Red"), but if it's anything like their "The Warrior And The Sorceress/Barbarian Queen" exclusive, they'll probably end up packing it with another couple of movies and releasing it mainstream.

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

The CULT CLASSICS set of three sci-fi titles is a great deal for $12.99. That's what I paid for it last year.

Really want the WOMEN IN CAGES set, but I agree with Brian on wishing it were the Blu and not the SD. I have a feeling both the SD and Blu on this will come down even more at some point.

To PopcornBandit: RACE WITH THE DEVIL isn't great, but it's a lot of fun, a combination of horror/southern hillbilly culture/70's car chase flicks. And one of my all time favorite lines: "I don't believe in a school bus on a Sunday!"

The "Women in Cages" blu-ray is down from its previous price. It had been around $29 for a quite a while, but now it's 23.99.

The Women In Cages Blu has been that price off an on. I guess I'm just hoping that it drops below $20 some day. Maybe that's the magical price point?

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

Can anyone explain to me why the Best of the B*s Vol. 2 is so high in price?

Re: Amazon: price drops on Roger Corman sets

Perhaps it went out of print when Shout! released the four NURSE pictures in a superior collection? Those BEST OF THE B collections don't sound like they're a good buy at any price . . .
