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)

It was quite good fun - in a very morbid way - when each oop CD was announced on the old forum. I can't remember the last to go but it wasn't one of the best.

Very useful to know, thanks; I'd better start making a list of the important ones to buy first. (If some went so fast, I wonder if it was people stocking up for resale? Maybe.) Oh yes I agree about the cover of 'The Secret History' - major spoiler, the character depicted and the actor's name too in case we missed the picture! I already knew who was in it so it didn't spoil the story for me - but I did advise others to unwrap the CD and put it in the drive all with their eyes closed...

I guess it is time to make sure that all releases 51 thru 100 are present & accounted for.

Only on download. Physical copies I have, or should have, a complete run.

How long did it take last time for the first few to go? I think we started seeing titles going OOP a few weeks in.

They did with the first 50. If they drop 51-100 down to 2.99, I'll be filling in a lot of gaps every couple of weeks.

Which ones will go quickly this time, then, do you think? The Eighth Doctor ones for sure, particularly Natural History of Fear and Terror Firma. Possibly The Next Life too because of its significance. The Juggernauts is another I think will go quick, along with Arrangements for War and Thicker than Water. Probably the Birthday Trilogy as well.

Doesn't this mean the next big Main Range Sale will have to be 101-150? Because I'm all for that as I'm well past release 100 and would love to catch up

I've just had a good look at what I'm missing between 51 - 100. A whopping 32 titles!
I think I will aim to buy around half of those when the permanent discount kicks in.

Great news that they are going to be discounted. Sad (but understandable) the CD's are going out of print at last. Not as sad as when we lost Fly Me to the Moon. Now that was a tragedy. You made me laugh.

I'm missing a fair few myself! I don't really have any money to spare at the moment, but (hopefully) might be able to grab a couple on pay-day next week!

Suggestions for the new BF website: For MRs 51-100, a "Number Sold / Number Left" countdown display...
