MoC: Cheapest Prices/Best Places to Buy/Pre-Orders/Deals

[perkizitore]

Why is the number so important?

[swo17]

They obviously have enough to promise free copies without setting any sort of a limit.

[Tommaso]

In this respect, let me just mention that I didn't get the promised "Prisoner of Shark Island" freebie in my last order of two items although I ordered in time. I didn't complain, as I have that disc anyway, but perhaps people missing out on "Toni" should be really insistent.

[perkizitore]

If you mention it to your Paypal payment, you should be fine.

New deal for the weekend:

If you order both The Complete (existing) Films of Sadao Yamanaka and The Murderer Lives at 21 via our webstore in the same order between now and Midnight (UK time) Sunday 28th of April, we'll send you a copy of Jean Renoir's Toni on DVD absolutely free!

'Toni' was one of my first MoCs: the commentary is one of my very favourites. I'm not sure I'll 'bite' though
(I'm no Luis Suarez)

It's like when there was the "Abhijan" OOP panic 3 years ago, and I finally snagged one from Hong Kong HMV. When later, it eventually became available on Eureka's site. 3 years later, it's still available on their site....

I do remember that very well. Is my life really so empty? Is my cat so boring? She is Devon rex by the way.

[Svevan]

I bit. Missed out on Toni, so this was a great deal. I'm excited for the Yamanakas, I really loved Humanity and Paper Balloons. Thought the old disc had some really quiet and variable audio, though.

This newsletter we've got another special offer for you, if you place an order consisting of two items or more between now and Midnight (UK time) on the 16th May you'll receive Vittorio De Sica's Shoeshine absolutely free!

[scubadonc]

I just found Shoeshine in a Wyoming pawn shop (of all places) for $2. Otherwise, I would totally go for this deal.

[Finch]

Got a spare still shrinkwrapped copy of Toni for sale or trade. PM me if interested. Cheers.

[perkizitore]

Likewise.

[swo17]

Our June releases, Kuroneko, The Naked Island and Tabu, are now available to pre-order and we've, yet again, got a great early-bird pre-order special offer. If you order all three of these releases together in one order we will send you a copy of Toshio Matsumoto's Funeral Parade of Roses on DVD absolutely free. This offer expires one week from today (i.e.Tuesday 4th June) so don't miss out.

As mentioned on the MoC Twitter account:

BDs of @mastersofcinema Burmese Harp, Harakiri, Profound Desires of the Gods & Punishment Park are currently £9.99 at http://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/offers/BD.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[Kauno]

The Naked Island £12.41 and Tabu £12.37 at Amazon.

[repeat]

The Naked Island £12.41 and Tabu £12.37 at Amazon.

Note that there are other good deals on MoC dual formats on Amazon UK at the moment - at least Sunrise, City Girl, Insect Woman and Ballad of Narayama are all under £12! Be quick - just bagged a copy of Tokyo Sonata for £11 before it went back up \:D/

[lefeufollet]

Le Pont du Nord and The Birth of A Nation pre-orders are up on Eureka's site.

[repeat]

Silence de la Mer, Lifeboat, Silent Running and Repo Man reduced to £9.99 at Eureka for the rest of July

[Jean-Luc Garbo]

Pigs and Battleships, Profound Desires of the Gods, and Punishment Park, too!

[bdlover]

Amazing to have this (The Tarnished Angels) on blu-ray, although imho the Amazon pre-order price is a bit excessive. For an upgrade of a major studio catalogue title that retails for £1-74 on DVD, £20 is quite a gouge.

[knives]

I imagine the mad bounty of extras (the best from MOC in a long time) is where your extra pounds are going. It is okay to be satisfied.

[bdlover]

No interest in extras personally. If/when this drops below £14 I'll buy it (that's still 8x the price of the DVD, as opposed to 11.4x).

[swo17]

£20 is the standard list price for most of MoC's releases. Amazon just hasn't discounted it yet.

[Gregor Samsa]

They're typically a few pounds cheaper (with free worldwide shipping to boot) on Eureka's site, too.

Did you actually expect the new Blu-ray special edition to be priced comparably to a used DVD offered on Amazon? Maybe MoC should just make it free, even better.
