Dean1700 5 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I caved in and ordered it despite the high international shipping. I didn't want to miss out on this one like I did with Die Hard. Just waiting for Die Hard With A Vengeance now.I think LLL, SAE, and Varese all use flat rate boxes, which don't start lower than $4-$5. Easier for them I suppose, but it costs us an extra $2-$3. It doesn't cost more than a couple bucks to ship a single CD.
fommes 165 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Well, I've ordred Die Hard 2 and The Boy Who Could Fly at Varèse Sarabande and I had to pay $ 52,46 which is about € 40,50. If I had ordered from MovieMusic.com I had to pay $ 61.97 which is about € 47,80 and if I had ordered from Intrada I had to pay $ 61,48 which is about € 47,45. And if I ordered at Colosseum, the European distributor of Varèse, I had to pay € 52,90, So Varèse was the cheapest.I'm only interested in one of the Varese Clubs. In that case, you might as well add it to another order from another vendor, in which case it will be either as expensive or cheaper.
Jay 46,241 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 There are now fewer than 900 copies of Die Hard 2 remaining.
Jay 46,241 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I'm not, its not as good of a score as the first or third one
Ollie 1,375 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Actually DH2 is a much better score and film than the 3rd.Not even Jeremey Irons could save that mess. And unless there was a ton of unused music tossed out of the 3rd film, it's basically a rehash of 1 & 2.
Trent B 354 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I'm betting Die Hard 2 is gone by the end of the year.
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Quality isn't that big a factor in whether something will sell out... how else would Commando move 3000 copies in a single day?
Jay 46,241 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 unless there was a ton of unused music tossed out of the 3rd filmThere was
Trent B 354 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I like all three Die Hard films (and scores). Live Free Or Die Hard has flaws but over all I enjoy it. A Good Day To Die Hard looks fun, hopefully it'll be better than Live Free Or Die Hard. I'm also glad they kept the same gal for Lucy McClane from the last film for the fifth.
Dean1700 5 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Less than 450 of DH2. My guess is it won't last the end of the month.
crocodile 9,724 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 My Die Hard 2 is on it's way. Yay!Karol
Trent B 354 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I got my copy from Peter (Movie Music) yesterday and I'm loving every bit of this score. I definitely noticed some tracking from other cues into other scenes. There's definitely some unused music in a few of the cues. I am actually liking this a bit more than the first Die Hard score.
crocodile 9,724 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Got Die Hard 2 this morning. Now playing. Sounds terrific so far, a more easily enjoyable version of the first score. By which I mean it is much more of a straightforward action scoring, as opposed to more sneeky suspense of the first outing. Witty and exciting. Miss Kamen so much!Pity the notes are so sparse, though. Would love to read a detailed analysis of this one.BTW less than 350 copies left now folks! Action/thriller scoring doesn't get much better than this.Karol
crocodile 9,724 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Oh there are fewer than 100 copies left of Die Hard 2.Karol
Trent B 354 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Awesome to see it sold out, well at least not awesome if people missed out on it.
Dean1700 5 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I just got notified today mine is shipped but why has it taken so long when it was released on the 5th?Anyway, it's on its way and now that it's sold out I'll sell mine for $100 if anyone is interested. lol. Nah. just kidding.

Brónach 1,330 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Spartacus box set???Not the first boxset of theirs that annoys me, either.
crocodile 9,724 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I want it myself.But I'm also wondering what Chaac meant.Karol
Jay 46,241 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 The two new titles:Mimesis: Night Of The Living DeadRiddleGuess these didn't sell well at all, Varese has dropped the price of each to $11 instead of $16
