MGM's Limited Edition Collection titles are only $10.99 today at Amazon. Not sure how long the sale will last. I stocked up on a bunch!

I wonder where is HOUSE OF 1,000 DOLLS? Is it out-of-print already?

According to Amazon, it appears that way.

Shouldn't these never go OOP. Since they are just stored on a drive and burnt on demand. Unless they are coming out with an official release it makes no damn sense.

No Dolls...so I ordered Gas Pump Girls instead.

yeah, isn't that kind of the whole point behind MOD?

House of 1000 Dolls is still available at wbshop.com, but it's more expensive at $17.95. Maybe it'll appear on Amazon again, in the near future...

Wasn't able to get BUSTING on Amazon, either -- which is especially annoying since it's the one I wanted most! Ending up grabbing NEW YEAR'S EVIL and DEFIANCE to go along with my OCTAMAN and OUTLAW BROTHERS preorders.

Here's one that almost slipped by: The Warner Archive Collection give a made-on-demand release to Douglas Hickox's SITTING TARGET (1972)! Slowly serving his sentence with dreams of making it back to his wife, convict Oliver Reed gets a rude wake-up call when he learns of her unfaithfulness. Enraged, he stages an escape with only one thing on his mind: Murder. You don't want to piss off Oliver Reed. Another mean, gritty, nihilistic British thriller for fans of GET CARTER, THE SQUEEZE and VILLAIN.

I did not realize that Warner Archive had released The Halloween Tree!

I have it on VHS, but the sound is starting to distort.

The Warner Archive Collection is now doing... Blu-ray??

It's true. Their first two releases are...

DEATHTRAP (1982) After he was Superman and before he was Alfred, Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine made a World’s Finest pair of actors in Sidney Lumet’s adaptation of Ira Levin’s wickedly funny and criminally clever mystery play. Joining them in the “who’ll do it?” suspense is Dyan Cannon with real-life critics Stewart Klein, Jeffrey Lyons and Joel Siegel all making cameos. Deathtrap is at last available on disc in its correct aspect ratio, and with clarity that truly pops! Presented on Blu-ray™ disc

GYPSY (1962) Mervyn LeRoy directs this lavish and heartfelt adaptation of the musical fable drawn from the legend of burlesque superstar, Gypsy Rose Lee. Rosalind Russell stars as an aggressive stage mother, determined to place her daughters (Natalie Wood and Ann Jillian) in the spotlight. When the “chosen” daughter rebels against maternal machinations, the ugly duckling gets thrown into the spotlight and discovers her destiny. Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim provide the show-stopping music and lyrics, and Arthur Laurents’ underlying book is a rock-hard spine of enchantment. And Natalie is naturally stunning in 1080p. Also stars Karl Malden. Presented on Blu-ray™ disc

I think my final MOD purchases will be MY DEMON LOVER (which I had totally forgotten about) and SITTING TARGET. Oh, and I still haven't bought POSITIVE I.D. (1986) from Universal. But with the Archive going Blu and all those former MOD titles getting an upgrade from Shout, there's really no reason to throw money away on the burned-on-demand format. It would be foolish to think MOD is going away, but I'm certainly not going to keep spending $20 on DVD-Rs, even for movies I really enjoy.
