Legible signature or not, there would have been far less dissatisfaction if the 'exclusive' 400 sets had been numbered. Still no response from wbshop re my inquiry.
Just sent the following to wbshops via their 'Contact Us' link:
My Andy Hardy Collection, Volume 1 arrived Monday, could hardly believe what's supposed to be Mickey Rooney's autograph, looks more like Mr. Yunioshi's mark. Haven't opened the wrap so I don't know if there's a legible signature...
My Andy Hardy Collection, Volume 1 arrived today, could hardly believe what's supposed to be Mickey Rooney's autograph, looks more like Mr. Yunioshi's mark. Haven't opened the wrap so I don't know if there's a legible signature inside or any evidence of this being a numbered '1 of 400' set...
Hey Boris! You and I may be the only forum members who care about coupons as our respective posts never seem to generate any other posts. WBShop even sidestepped a recent email on subject, no apparent concern that I've indicated my future purchases will be pretty much limited to 'good' sales...
Been working my way through my 'Big Sale' purchases and noticed a cover art goof on the back of 'The Unsuspected'--the right-hand still is of Zachery Scott and Eve Arden, actually from 'The Unfaithful' which I'd viewed the night before. Other than that, all my purchases have been as good or...

How about that!!! Eight days have gone by since my post and only one other forum member has stated a preference for a '10 for 10' pricing set-up. What a groundswell!!
Veterans Day 30% and HORR25 enabled modest order of four Joe E Brown's, the Arliss set and Plymouth Adventure--next best thing to a '10 for $100' deal they apparently are not about to offer until more forum members start posting their desire for a regular 'mix and match' price. ValuePaks always...
Given a choice I always choose USPS Media Mail. It's been reliably quick from the Itasca IL Infinity suppliers I use (Digital Eyes and Deep Discount), as well as DVD Empire and Amazon. Some Amazon sellers use the UPS and FedEx 'gimmick' method and that delivery trail always takes longer by 1-3...
THESE Value Paks are valueless to those of us serious collectors who already have multiple or single titles in these mini-collections. The WBShop folks need a 'mix and match' sale, like select any 10 of THESE titles for $100.
These new USPS marriages with UPS and FedEx do nothing for we buyers and in my case everyone of several shipments has been two or more days longer than usual USPS Media Mail deliveries from the same suppliers. This method must be saving shippers a lot of money over straight UPS or FedEx, but...
Obscurity, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. The Archive through WBShop for the most part has been a good thing, except being generally overpriced. What I can't figure is the large number of offerings that have such limited sales potential--when there are so many quality films...
Battlebeast--I assume some of the best picture winners & nominees you've amassed are in formats other than DVD, as I started on the same quest more than 30 years ago, moving on from VHS, to Beta, to Laser Discs, to S-VHS, to DVD & DVD-R, upgrading where possible as time went along. Fortunately...
Does the Archive have plans to do a set of the 'Thelma Todd' shorts aired yesterday on TCM?
Also want to report the latest good customer service by WBShop.com replacement of Cass Timberlane, pixels and lockups, apparently from a faulty burn. Fingers crossed that forthcoming replacement...
jdee28 has my vote re bulk-order pricing, but I'm also with borisfw today; the sale worked for me on the 'remasters'--Background to Danger (DVD, Remastered)$13.00,Yellowstone Kelly (DVD, Remastered)$13.00&None But The Lonely Heart (DVD, Remastered)
$13.00
Getting to at least see THE EMIGRANTS shouldn't be too tough, WHV released (distributed by Image) a LD 1:85 widescreen edition, Swedish with subtitles, 191 minutes. Same true re THE NEW LAND, 204 minutes. Haven't viewed either of mine in years, so hopefully they're still OK. ...
A repeat of my 8/3 request:
Will someone please post what the 'Remastered' Yellowstone Kelly aspect ratio actually is. WBShop.com says WIDESCREEN in one place and Screen Aspect: 16 X 9 FULL FRAME in another. Most confusing! And is it really better than what TCM (or anyone) has shown 4X3?
