Well, in an unexpected yet welcome surprise, at least that last part is about to change. However, be warned that even Twilight Time&#8217;s sales are limited editions.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to an email newsletter sent out by Screen Archives Entertainment (the exclusive distributor of Twilight Time product):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It seems like only yesterday, but incredibly, Twilight Time turns 3 years old this month, and to celebrate we are doing something we\u2019ve never done before which is to offer a special price-promotion on 36 of our Blu-ray titles (one for each month we\u2019ve been in operation!) This promotion will last for exactly 5 days &#8211; it will begin with the April pre-orders on Wednesday, March 19th at 4 pm EST, and will run to Monday, March 24th at 4 pm EST. The promotion will be exclusive to SAE\u2019s website at www.screenarchives.com &#8211; this is a way to thank you, our intrepid aficionados, for all your support these 3 amazing years, and to give many of you a chance to catch up on titles you may have wanted but put on the back burner, and also to encourage new devotees to try some of our more esoteric back-catalogue items. And thank you again for your patience while the March titles have been delayed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eligibile Blu-rays will be discounted by $10, to a prices of either $19.95 (if normally $29.95) or $24.95 (if normally $34.95). That&#8217;s still expensive by catalog title standards, but some discount is better than no discount.<\/p>\n<p>The titles in question are:<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-526\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form
