Reminder that this is looming, so if you want to order (especially preorder) anything at the before rise prices do so soon. I’ve just ordered the imminent Eighth Doctor pair of boxes. I’m expecting my Big Finish purchasing to plummet after the end of October.

I’m expecting my Big Finish purchasing to plummet after the end of October. I would hazard to say it's on everyone's minds. I have 1 more work pay coming in before the 1st Nov, then 1 more the week after the 1st week.. Working out if my credit card can take the hit for 1 week with another big bundle order to go with the $600 order I placed 2 weeks ago.

I just hope it's not too big of a hike, as I can't really justify spending a lot of money at once on bundles, and am unlikely to preorder much. I also can't help but notice that BF has barely any titles listed for 2023 currently. I imagine we'll get a lot of new announcements after the price increase goes into effect.

They STILL haven't told loyal customers what the new prices are?

I do find this somewhat egregious - in two weeks, pricing goes up by ?? What harm is there in telling us what that increase is? It’s be nice to plan for the future! Especially as the cost of living continues to increase. Sometimes I marvel at the counterintuitive way BF operates. This lack of transparency now is puzzling. I can’t see anyone really thanking BF for not saying what the changes are until Nov. 1st, but 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

I've decided I can't worry about it. I can't afford to buy everything I'd like to before the prices go up, so I'll just have to pay whatever it costs. Probably will wait for sales.

I guess it has come at a time where I’m busier than I have been, and priorities have changed, so there will be many releases that I’ll have to wait to buy for a while.

Weird that nothing has been said at all, especially as it gets closer to it.
This is why im focusing as much as i can on the stuff going OOP or is already OOP, before i get the newer stuff.
Unless i know for sure its Limited as all hell lol

Only a few days to go, still nothing. Typical BF BS.

Managed to fit in some 9th and 5th Doctor bundles before the price hike. That may be all I'm able to grab before November 1st, but those sets were high priorities that I knew I'd be getting no matter what so why not save a few bucks.

I've mostly quit pre-ordering anything from BF the last year or so, because I barely listen any more and I have so much backlog to catch up with. But having said that, the looming price spike did recently prompt one final 111 dollar purchase from them. But that might be the end for me, at least for the forseeable.

Are we sure there will be an update, other than seeing the prices have gone up?

Yeah, at this point I’m not sure there’s a difference between saying anything today and just sticking the prices up tomorrow. The whole thing has been poorly handled and we're still not seeing any remedial action on their existing issues. Big Finish continue to not learn, we continue to give them money (more as of tomorrow!) because we like the product. Rinse and repeat.

I’ve ordered every Doctor Who / Torchwood release I’m going to get. Looking forward to working out whether I can buy any more in future after tomorrow.
Thanks BF for the long lead time and low clarity on this. It’s been… real.

Credit where credit’s due, looks like some remedial action has been taken with overseas pricing. It’d be interesting to know if that’s been reviewed again as a result of feedback from customers when they announced the new pricing a few months back. I do think it’s poor to have announced it the day before the increased prices, mind. And I would liked to have seen this be in place for some time prior to the price increases, as I do think it would go some way to address their costs, but hey ho.
