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...
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...
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
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?

At age 76, my collecting mode is what's in the marketplace right NOW. I'm sure the WB folks will offer anything that will sell, so why are they fooling around with so many minor titles as singles with low sales volumes rather than making up sets of these 'obscures' with reasonable prices. I can...
Most of the July posts thus far have been really great, but I'm still wondering how much clout this forum is having with the WBA folks. If I were George I'd already know the validity of the content of most of the posts, but my math is good enough to recognize the postings generally are from a...
Ownership of lots of stuff is confusing. When the money guys have shown something on TCM it follows that home video release via the Archive also is possible, particularly titles that were earlier released to the laser disc market. I'm slowing my purchases generally until there's a better meeting...
I've been wondering how sales of the Archive Joe E. Browns have been going. As much as I loved them, I'm going to wait for more, and in a Value Pack or Sale. Am also waiting for Wheeler & Woolseys and Eddie Cantor sets at affordable prices. Same goes for the Falcon, Saint, Boston Blackie, etc...
Andre--I've been an Insider from the very beginning, that's why the two days of disappointment when doing my latest order. However, I'm happy to report the discount is again operational for me, but apparently will not apply to the higher-priced Ripley Believe It Or Not offering.
WBShops site as part of their Happy Holidays streamer sez "Warner Archive Collection Next New Release 1/12/10" is good in a way, gives me a chance to catch up in viewing titles already purchased.
Continuing on big band shorts, WB had two multi-disc laser disc collections of Vitaphone shorts, short titles 'Swing, Swing, Swing' Volumes 1 & 2; I have the initial set, 45 titles, but for some reason never purchased the second set and now have no idea what's on it.
Getting the titles of...
