Title: Black Friday sale heads-up
Post by: IndigoPrime on 27 November, 2019, 08:40:15 PM
Black Friday is upon us. From 00:01–23:59 GMT, Tharg the Generous will be offering discounts as deep as the darkest abyss (up to 60% off). So keep watching the store (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/on-sale?utm_source=The+2000+AD+Weekly+Thrill-Mail%21&utm_campaign=1719122030-2000+AD+NEWSLETTER+19-11-27&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f96459e4a2-1719122030-78898509), Earthlets, and grab yourself a bargain!

Looking forward to seeing what is included. I'd love it if t-shirts were included but suspect as they seem to be printed on demand that won't be the case alas.

Still be good to see what's included and look forward to exploring.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely be taking advantage of this sale. Last year's Christmas deals passed me by...won't let it happen again!

Can I get discounts on the bigger house and divorce lawyer I'd need if I bought any more stuff?

Just this weekend I was idly filling up a basket to see what I could waste my 50% subs discount on. Glad I waited now.

As an aside, don't think it's going to happen but if Tharg was ever to put a significant discount on the digital back Prog bundles, I'd probably end up buying four or five years worth of stuff I already have on paper.

Worth noting, obviously, that you won't be able to double dip on sales items. So anything on sale will NOT have a further 50% reduction from the subs discount.

I know, but 60% off is better than 50% off! Assuming the stuff I want is included.

Sure thing. Just putting it out there in a general sense – rather than it being directed at you – because I've seen angry complaints in other places from people fuming that they can't get 50% off of pre-order special edition hardbacks, and off of other sale items, some of which were heavily reduced.

I'll be honest, that was the first thing I tried to do. I wasn't particularly surprised when it wasn't allowed.

Agree with Cosh... I can't remember where it was but I got about 2 years of missed Megs on digital when they were reduced.

I always feel hard done to as a double digital subscriber. As far as I can figure we must be the customers that provide least amount of hassle and cost for Tharg but we never seem to get any presents.

It's the same for anyone who has a monthly subscription.  Pay up annually in advance and get the best prices and all the goodies.

As an additional, can I just say that as pranks go this is a quality one.  Right now this link takes you to a page that says nothing is on offer at the moment.   :lol:

Because it's not Black Friday yet - hence the 'heads up' of the thread title!

Exactly. There have been complaints here from people who don't read the email newsletter, and so we're now attempting to convey news via the forum as well.

As for annual vs monthly subs, one guarantees a revenue stream and the other does not. Incentives are almost always for longer subscription periods. However, Rebellion is different from other publishers in one key way: it sends incentives to existing subscribers as well. Most other mags don't do anything like that.

I really do need to do something about this somewhat detached relationship with time.

Okay, how about we say it is Friday?  I mean it's got to be Friday somewhere, surely.  Would that work for people?

It is Friday.  If you live in Yakutsk, China, Brunei, Australia and all points East (up to the International Date Line, natch).

Using my amazing admin powers, I can confirm that Tjm86 does not in fact live in Yakutsk, China, Brunei, or Australia. :D

Using my amazing powers of delusion I can confirm that Tjm86 does not have a clue where he is right now (but does really like the name Yakutsk, not to mention Irkutsk ...)

... also he is becoming a little concerned about talking about himself in the third person and hope that this stops real soon ...

Looks like the good people of Irkutsk and Yakutsk were up early to snap up all the cheap Trigan Empires but it's still good news for anyone who likes Roy of the Rovers and Pat Mills.

Might get the Nemesis Case Files just to have them.
Title: Re: Black Friday sale heads-up
Post by: IndigoPrime on 29 November, 2019, 08:33:24 AM
Already some changes from last night. ROTR wasn't there at the start. Dare and Daily Dredds HCs now down to one volume each. Nemesis 3 also gone.

Hmm. Think there might be some problems with the listing. Complete Nemesis volume 3 isn't on the list here (https://2000ad.com/post/6325?fbclid=IwAR2RA4beXTqUXcPuZxOvlLqVGn_DzZKaT6n9zusxspghbQQYpa5q_beyhiQ).

On the other hand, Brutania Chronicles 1 and the Dredd Restricted files are on that list. They don't appear in the On Sale (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/on-sale) section, but you can find them with the discount under Slaine (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/slaine) and  Case Files (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/dredd-case-files) respectively. Same for the Dare and Daily Dredd volumes you mentioned.
Title: Re: Black Friday sale heads-up
Post by: IndigoPrime on 29 November, 2019, 08:50:32 AM
Yep. Worth rummaging, by the looks of it. Eg Chopper is also currently on sale, but not yet listed on the main sales page, as is every one of the Restricted Files volumes, the Trifecta HC, and John Smith's properly creepy Cradlegrave.

You'd have to ask their in-house team if they'd combine orders, but I wouldn't leave it too long. As per up the thread, it's not that more stuff has been added, but that the sales page is not working correctly. So look through the other pages in the store and look for the red prices. e.g. last I looked, every single Zenith HC was in there for eight quid a pop.
Title: Re: Black Friday sale heads-up
Post by: TordelBack on 29 November, 2019, 01:40:05 PM
All four Brutannia HB volumes for not a whole lot more than Volume 1 in the shops, plus a single prog I've been missing for a while but couldn't justify the postage on. I didn't think it too many.

All of these were showing correctly now under the Sales section.

I've the physical editions up to 17, but I'm hoping at some stage to collect them all digitally as well.

Don't shoot the messenger here! Between this, the Trigan Empire and finally giving in and ordering a bunch of those new Dredd miniatures yesterday (at the same time as the SD sale) I'm a bit embarrassed about exactly how much money I've sent to Betelgeuse this week.

Just a quick bump for the 2000 AD Black Friday sale (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/on-sale), which is still on until midnight. You're too late for a complete set of dirt-cheap HC Zenith, but there's still plenty of great stuff in there, such as Luke Kirby (£7.99), the Sláine Book of Invasions series (£5.59 each), the entire Dredd: Restricted Files run (£7.99 each), Daily Dredds vols 1 and 2 (£11.99 each), Jinty Land of No Tears/Human Zoo, and Bella at the Bar (£4.39 each), and both Dan Dare HCs (£11.99 each).

Land of No Tears, Bella at the Bar and Luke Kirby were very tempting too... :)
