I assumed it'd be sale prices on all the titles on the YT marathon. "If you liked that part one, don't miss our special offer on the full story..." seems to sell itself as cross-promotion, surely? There are titles on here that are in the marathon but not all of them, and titles on the marathon that aren't in this. Doesn't affect me either way as someone up to date but surely if someone was intrigued by, say, heating one quarter of The Yes Men or the first River box on the marathon, giving them the chance to get the whole release affordably when they're hyped for it would be preferable to offering something a bit arbitrary like Secret History or Domain Of The Voord. Same thoughts I had, also maybe thought there'd be a couple more new announcements, but you cant win them all.

I’m a bit surprised by the sale too, especially that it doesn’t include loads of the titles on the YouTube channel this week.
Like many others I have loads of the items already.
But I have just very happily picked up the Second Doctor Companion Chronicles boxset. It had been on my Amazon wishlist for yonks, and at that price I’ll gladly take it. Getting the CD box with free digital download available immediately.

All sales are great... even if I have everything. Bargains for people is always a good thing and money off anything these days is to be welcomed.

Alas, it's another "You've Got This!" sale for me, but some key releases available for new listeners. I can see a lot of people snapping up things like the Tenth Doctor Adventures vol. 1.

Sadly, I have these. Was hoping most of the MR stuff would be on sale as I wanted to plug some gaps...

As per most posters here, I already have all but UNIT, War Doctor and the Bradley 1st Doctor set. Tempted by the War Doctor despite already having the first story as a DWM download, which I enjoyed hearing. Any thoughts as to how well the three tales stand alone from follow on sets? I find it bittersweet that we are blessed by John Hurt as the Doctor (got to be the biggest star to have played the role) yet his passing alomng with Jaqueline Pearce leaves this range somewhat unfinished - or am I mistaken in this? Did they wrap things up knowing the score, given that he was ill at the time?

Wished they'd put more than one UNIT box set on sale. I'm missing UNIT Assembled, it turns out.

Did they wrap things up knowing the score, given that he was ill at the time? The first set is standalone, as is the second. The third leads directly into the fourth, but they’re fairly standalone also. The fourth set wraps up itself up, so it’s very much finished. Sets 5-8 were planned, and I think Set 5 was booked to record, but sadly John had to reschedule due to ill health and it was never recorded. I think these were all planned after John had done the four sets and The Invisible Man. They would’ve picked up on events from the fourth set, but it does end in its own way.

It would be nice to have an Early Adventures sale I reckon Yes. And maybe quite likely this autumn with the two high-profile EAs coming out to start the new 'two a year' release pattern?

It would be nice to have an Early Adventures sale I reckon Yes and perhaps a 101-150 MR sale as the 50-100 CDs are mostly out of print now...

Seems like forever since there’s been a sale I could take advantage of.
What do you think the next sale will be?

*starts typing post suggesting Halloween sale (Dark Shadows/Textbook stuff/The Omega Factor etc). Also suggests Lost Stories and Early Adventures likely in November. *reads Mark's post. *sighs heavily, mutters something about "great minds thinking alike", contemplates taking lessons in speed typing...😋

As was recently mentioned above, I'm waiting on an Early Adventures sale. I bought Series 2 in July 2017 when it was in a sale. I don't recall seeing Series 3 on offer since then, though individual titles have been. Series 3 or even 3 & 4 in a sale would be welcome.
That or maybe some of the Dark Shadows Short Stories or Mini-Series titles from a year or more ago.

I’d really like a UNIT sale. There’s one older UNIT release I apparently forgot to buy the last time it was on sale.

With The Prisoner Volume 3 released today the road is now clear for (fingers and toes crossed) a Black Friday sale in three days time.
The question then is if Big Finish do participate what would you like to see included? A sale on a particular range or ranges? A sale on everything before a certain date? (Eg. Everything prior to January 2018). The return of a particular type of sale? (Looking at you 99 for 99p)...or something else?

To answer my own question...I'd like to see the return of the 99 for 99p sale. Sure, the likelihood these days would be there would be nothing I didn't already own, but that particular sale was a good stepping stone into titles I hadn't ever considered buying (Dark Shadows). It could be again...either for me or for someone else. Boxsets. Dark Eyes, Doom Coalition, Aliens Among Us to name a few. The big beasts. The big, rather expensive beasts. Need I say more?
