Just teased on the podcast, Nick has announced that soon all titles from The Wormery to 100 will go the way of the first 50 Main Range releases, as in permanently discounted at highly attractive prices (stop that drooling!) but the CDs not being repressed. So once the remaining CD stock for any given title in this range is gone, it's download only or eBay/second hand/third party source (delete as applicable).
Further details to be published on the website later this week.

Great news that they are going to be discounted.
Sad (but understandable) the CD's are going out of print at last.

Not surprising I suppose us long term investors will keep ourselves warm with the fact that though we've spent more we will always have a complete physical collection. Interesting its still only up to 100 and not 116 the end of the mostly Stand Alone stories would be a better cut off point IMO.

Interesting news, I'll take advantage of the reduced prices to fill the last few gaps in my 51-100 collection - and I'm sure @timelord007 is right! But which of these titles will become the legends of this 50 block, the 'Spare Parts' or 'Chimes of Midnight' that everyone wants to buy and few want to sell? I'd nominate: The Harvest The Juggernauts Night Thoughts The Kingmaker Circular Time Son of the Dragon Others? (This is purely for academic interest of course, I'm not a 'greedy Ebay seller'... *rubs hands, counts gold coins by candlelight, cackles gleefully* )

I know I’ll be going straight in for the Juggernauts Arrangements for War and Thicker than Water. Though I basically want all the Colin stories in that block.
Others I want (which I think will be among the legends of this block) are, Terror Firma, The Natural History of Fear and Circular Time.

Does anyone know how long the 1-50s lasted? I’m just wondering if it’ll be somewhat of a flash sale with them all going out of stock rather quickly or if I’ll have a chance to pick up all the ones I want at my own pace. I know they reduced in August 2013, but I’m not sure at what date they were all gone by.
I’m hoping that everyone will be so busy rushing to grab the McGann stories that I can slip in a take what I need.

About 18 months all in, but there were weeks where a CD option would disappear daily.

Personal favorites ... Regards mark687 It's a tribute to BF's high quality over time, I'd also give a 5* rating to at least half the MR stories I've heard and probably more. 2016 & 2017 are examples of this IMO, only a handful I wouldn't give 5* and a number of instant classics like the two most recent releases.

The Divergent Universe Arc and the 6 months leading up to and including 200

Good news i suppose, especially if the CD comes down to £6 for those of us who like a physical copy.
I'm guessing £6 rather than £5 for the CD as that reflects the current trend re BF sales.

I love 'The Secret History' and 'Last of the Cybermen' (daring choice that one, I know!) and 'Equilibrium' is one of my MR favourites... Oh well! Thanks for the info that the 1-50 block sold out in 18 months - I have only a few gaps to fill but a lot of my CDs from this period were bought used to save money and I'd like to upgrade to new CD+BF download. Now everyone knows how quickly the first 50 went from being normally priced to discounted to out of stock, I expect this block will disappear even faster.

Last and Equilibrium are the 2 best ones I agree. Mistfall is a miss-fire nobody seems remotely engaged and Secret History my own take was it was completely predictable from the cover and not enough of an event release to celebrate 200.
As I said it took 18 months all in but some blocks went within weeks (1st 4 8th Doc stories and 6th Doc and Evelyn for example)
