Just like last year I am putting this both in DVD and BR Bargains. Last years BR Bargains thread was less successful Link. Of course at the time Full Moon only offered 3 Blu-Ray titles.
This years Blu-Ray offerings (prices after 50% off):
Subspecies - $9.99
Subspecies II: Bloodstone - $9.99
Subspecies III: Bloodlust - $9.99
Subspecies 1-3 Box Set - $19.99
Puppet Master (1) - $9.99
Puppet Master 2 - $7.49
Puppet Master 3 - $7.49
Puppet Master 1-3 - $19.99
Puppet Master (9): Axis of Evil - $9.99
Puppet Master 1 & 9 limited edition collector's trunk - $34.97
Puppet Master X - $9.99
Puppet Master X Package with poster and DVD - $20.00
Obviously extended prices are much cheaper for those who did the did the Grindhouse deal, Evergreen card or any other of the myriad of Full Moon gift card deals.

Crap. Do the Evergreen card balances expire? If not, I may pass on this sale, since there isn't much I need. I own everything but the recent releases.

Does anyone know off hand if you can use multiple gift card codes on one order? Shipping will just about kill almost any deal for me if not.

They do, I am pretty sure at the end of the year. But no other Full Moon sale, historically at least, goes down to 50% off whole store.

I don't see why not and if it didn't work in your cart you could always choose check/money order and leave a note as to how you want your gift cards applied.

As for the prize, the free item is nice but I don't think anyone is salivating over a Charles Band signature.

Not according to the original offer. This is from the e-mail they sent out in 2010:
And their shipping charges are the most ridiculous I've ever seen. $21.20 to ship five DVDs? GTFO. 
Today: Value = $200
Renews on 12/31/2011
Renews AGAIN on 12/31/2012
Expires on 12/31/2013
Total Value: $600
**Any remaining balance will "roll over" each year**

Wow. I added 4 items to my cart, and am quoted $41.05 for shipping. That almost completely negates the 50% off. A retail sale with free shipping suddenly sounds better!
I just submitted the "contact us" form to "inform them" that they appear to have a problem with their shipping calculator which they need to be aware of.

I have $50 in gift cards to use... I don't really want to spend over $40 to get 10 dvds... I need to figure out a way to maximize gift cards and minimize shipping.

Sounds like they're using the Troma shipping calculation method. For those that haven't seen it, they've had sales where stuff is as low as $1, then after adding the shipping price, it's basically jumped back up to near retail price.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE ULTIMATE HORROR DISCOVERY!
FULL MOON FEATURES’ CHARLES BAND UNEARTHS EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF EXTREMELY RARE OVERSIZE VHS PACKAGING
MINT-CONDITION COLLECTOR’S ITEMS BEGIN ROLL-OUT TO PUBLIC FEB 12
TITLES INCLUDE SUCH HORROR CLASSICS AS: ZOMBIE,
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE & HEADLESS EYES
LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb 7, 2013 – Horror legend and home video pioneer Charles Band had been putting off his warehouse cleaning for years. But during a recent overhaul of his extensive collection of collectibles, he unwittingly resurrected a veritable treasure trove of vintage horror limited-edition VHS boxes coveted by horror fans and serious collectors. Starting February 12, fans will be able to purchase these original boxes with authentically duplicated VHS copies inside – at an incredibly reasonable price.
“Back in the 80’s, I thought it would be cool to release these films in the oversize VHS boxes,” explained Band. “In the short term, it was very successful - but by 1982 the trend had run its course and the titles were reduced back to regular VHS dimensions.”
Band started Wizard Video in 1980, and was the first to release horror cult films such as Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I Spit On Your Grave in the early days of home video.
“The kids who remember these oversized packages remember them fondly,” Band continued. “The release of this collection is for them.”
Over a span of 3-4 years, Wizard Video published eighty titles in the large-format boxes. Thirty-five years after the packaging’s popularity died out, Band and his excavation team uncovered the original big VHS boxes of thirty-six of these rare titles in mint condition, between two hundred to four hundred copies per title. Each box will be hand-numbered on the spine and autographed by Charles Band and will include an authentically duplicated VHS copy of the film inside of a clamshell holder. Band estimates that very few of these rare videos are still in print – and no more than 5-10 thousand units were manufactured at the time.
Also found in the collection were original boxes of the first horror video games on the planet, from Wizard Video’s sister company, Wizard Video Games. The Atari 2600 game boxes for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween will be released TBD 2013 from Full Moon. At the time of release, these titles were deemed too violent for children, and were either banned or sold by request-only, making them an extraordinarily rare find as well.

Every month beginning February 12, 4 titles will be on sale at $50/title.

Re: Full Moon 50% off Sale (2-13-13) - (2-18-13)
I feel that once the Evergreen cards expire, they'll go right back to the standard 50% + free shipping deal that had previously been the norm. The amount of orders would drop significantly otherwise.

They raised some prices, too. Puppetmaster 2 and 3 were $14.98, but went up to $19.95, so the sale price is $10 instead of $7.50.

They are fixing the shipping. Standard Shipping is now showing as an option. Unfortunately I had already placed my order earlier. I just called them and spoke with Ian. He is going to try to change my shipping. It would go from $60.65 down to $31.01. Still ain't cheap, but it is MUCH more acceptable. But he couldn't change it immediately. He has to call the shipping department, and he'll get back to me tomorrow.

Re: Full Moon 50% off Sale (2-13-13) - (2-18-13)
I called and spoke to Leroy. Same deal: he'll forward it to the shipping guys. Didn't mention they would get back to me, only that the difference (about $16) would be put back on the card if they catch it in time.
I wonder if I could have just canceled and reordered? I guess that might have complicated things, since the balance would need to be manually restored to the Evergreen card. Even if the difference gets refunded, I'm not sure I'll be spending it during this sale. Since I can't add anything to the order I've already placed, a new order of a single DVD would take up almost the entire refunded amount (after shipping is added).
