We will be ending our early bird special offers on all Q2 titles earlier than originally anticipated. All early bird prices will now end at 9.30am tomorrow morning. We are really sorry for the short notice but unfortunately this is something that is beyond our control.



If you are intending to take advantage of our special pre-order offers we would advise that you act swiftly to avoid missing out.



Thanks in advance for your understanding and support."



The 'tomorrow' mentioned is Thursday, 6th March

Ah well, looks like i'll be paying full price for most of them then. Would've ordered them all right now if they didn't take payment straight away.

I would be the same, but I didn't buy much in February so had enough money in my bank account to pay over £100 for seven BDs today.

Only pre-ordered April's titles, if they'd announced this earlier I would have just ordered them all on payday. Bought loads of other crap now!

Wonder what reason is, don't see how it can be beyond Arrow's control.

I'm the same. Ordered April's on payday, and intended to order the next months on mynext payday and so on. I wonder if maybe they've had that many people ordering at the cheaper price, they're being sly and decided that we'll still pay £15.99, so they've done away with the earlybird price.

That is exactly what I thought when I saw the announcement earlier today

Royal Mail price increases?

Failing that, I wonder if it's to do with the Boro boxset - it's not much more expensive than the price people paid on Kickstarter; perhaps there were too many orders for it and so, there would not be so many other orders for it on other retailers, who would probably be selling closer to the RRP. And the points system may be letting people get it for even less than the Kickstarter crowd. And let's face it, you cannot single out one item and remove it from Early Bird; you'd have to remove the whole lot out of fairness.

Obviously it involves waiting a bit longer but I find with Arrow it's usually worth waiting for their sales. Take the TCM2 pack that was first of all in that early bird thing around £19 then went up to £24.99 then a matter of a few weeks later was in the Xmas sale at £14.99.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

The thing is, you've got to realise that even at £12.99 and people choosing free postage (I always choose 1st class @ £1 to get them usually the day after shipping) they're making a profit compared to the manufacturing costs. It would be interesting to find out the reason for scrapping the earlybird price (doubt they would tell anyone though).
