I wonder if Second Sight might be working on an upgrade

 Don’t all A24 site-exclusive products sell out eventually?
Their Midsommar UHD initially sold out but they restocked them after a while and it’s available ever since. I’m not sure if that also happened with another title but no limited edition BD/UHD once they started sold out - other items yes. I suppose it‘ll be the same with Stop Making Sense, which is a blessing as importing from A24 is so ridiculously expensive to Germany (49$ shipping!) and the possibility of Second Sight doing a UHD themselves makes it much less tempting to order now.

Do their exclusives ever get a Black Friday or flash sale?

I don't believe so. I inquired about this before I made a large purchase a year ago, and their team and other forums seemed to indicate a negative there. I think there was some kind of offer early on when the site started getting traction, but that was it

A BR.com user asked Second Sight and they (very) unfortunately denied it. I take their word for it as they’ve been very generous in the past with their early announcements of films they’re working on. They did this for Possession, Mean Streets and others when competitors announced their versions before Second Sight. I also take this pretty much as a guarantee that A24 have exclusive rights to the restoration.

I was curious as to whether their shop might have a free shipping threshold : it's actually the opposite, so a $201 cart with 2 BDs, a zine, a towel and a book adds $204.9 in shipping !! (Shipping 129.11 USD, Tax 67.02 USD, Duty 8.77 USD)
I originally did even worse and added more books and other stuff and reached a $400+ cart : got $400+ of shipping fees !

Absolute BS non sense.
