Wow, that is a deal! Even if you don't use the streaming, the 6 BD's plus $50 GC is worth $65...
I'm sure I would use the streaming from time to time...

Trevor

Eh, I have several Full Moon multipacks on disc from $5 bins, so their value to me is about $1 a film. Doubt I'd watch 65 of their films in three years let alone one, so don't think I'd get my $65 worth there.

joltman

Same here, I put in an order for the 6 BDs they list I don't have (well, I don't have 7, but I've heard Tourist Trap isn't worth picking up). Then I'll save the gift card for one of their sales to pick up another couple that I don't have.
I'd like to use the streaming some, but apparently, the only device with Full Moon Streaming is Roku, which I have a TV with built-in Roku in the family room but not my living room.

Pass. They never sent me 2 of the 6 movies I was supposed to get when I signed up back in 2014.

I contacted them about it at least 3 times. The first time they said they were back-ordered. The second time they just apologized and the last time their response was to keep waiting cause "free" always was shipped last versus those who paid for their copies... Wish I had saved those emails.

And I waited several weeks (if not months) between emails. It wasn't like I was constantly messaging them about the movies.
Also, the streaming quality of most of the movies wasn't the best. Maybe they have improved now.

The real question is, will the Ghoulies toilet statue be back in stock during their next Valentines sale so I can use the gift card on it?

Leaning towards:

Doctor Mordred
Puppet Master: Axis Rising
Tourist Trap
Trancers
Trancers 2

Not sure what I want for #6...

Trevor

I’m a glutton for punishment and am tempted now. But it depends on how that gift card works. Any exclusions like not on sale merchandise? Anyone still using this service?

I just did it last week and within 24 hours I got a gift code over email. No limitations. I used it to subscribe to their magazine which is pretty swanky with some nice vintage posters.

Trevor

Thanks piranesi!

joltman

No restrictions from what I can remember. Too bad they haven't updated the available Blu-rays or else I would do this again.

FYI, their signup still has an issue from when I signed up back in March 2016: the HTML options for the Blu-rays for Trophy Heads and Vampire Journals both have Castle Freak as the assigned value, meaning when you pick TH or VJ, to Full Moon it will look like you picked CF. They emailed me to confirm that I wanted 2 copies of CF when I really wanted TH and VJ. I even pointed out the issue but they never resolved it. Can't say I'm surprised, although I'm sure that's caused an issue for them at least a few times.

Pick from this selection for 10 disks:

joltman

I've thought about signing up just for the 10 disks, glad I held out. $60 just for that and the 10 disks is great, I consider the streaming a bonus. It's really a a no brainer if you have any interest in the Evil Bong movies.

clckworang

I splurged. Paying $60 to get 10 Blu-rays and another Blu-ray set on top of that is pretty good. As you say, the streaming is just a bonus.

brucehf

Is there a promo code required to get 4/20 promotion? For me clicking on start my subscription does nothing??

g

There is no promo code. Make sure you click on the banner with the 420 deal on link though. Did you fill out payment information right and choose full year? Maybe you should try a different browser or go to incognito mode or another private mode on browser.

I helped bankroll Evil Bong 3D, you guys are welcome and I'm sorry.

joltman

I got the code for the EB box yesterday, says the code for a Puppet Master Box Set or ten movies will be sent in a few days. It was quick and easy to order the free EB box. I'm surprised they didn't give both codes at once to reduce shipping for them.

clckworang

I did as well. It has been redeemed. Ready for the next round of freebies.

Trevor

Not sure how they make money on these deals.

PhantomStranger

It's the benefit of producers being the same as the distribution label for most of their catalog. They don't owe producer royalties on their media like a traditional Hollywood studio would.

joltman

I got the code for the EB set and ordered it on April 25, but it has not shipped yet. I got the second code on April 29 and ordered the Puppet Master box set on May 2, which I got a shipping notification for yesterday.

Also, I just got an email about Evil Bong 888 coming out, supposedly the final film in the series. I guess that was why they were willing to give away this set because a new set will probably be out soon.

Trevor

At least we have space in the old box set for more!

Got a package from them last night. Haven’t opened it but it must be the Bong set.

joltman

Got my EB box yesterday. While the box is nice, it is too big for my liking, especially when space for movies is already at a premium. Based on pictures, I thought you'd be able to fit more movies on the sides, but there's extra cardboard, so you could only fit one on each side, and only if you put it in diagonally.
And somewhat minor annoyance, but my Weedjies: Halloweed Night came in the regular case instead of the set-specific case with the matching spine pattern. At least it's at the end so it's not too noticeable.

In summary, here's how everything played out for me

• Subscribed on 4/20
• Got the EB code on 4/25 and ordered it the same day and received it 5/18
• Got the other code 4/29, ordered the PM box 5/2 and received it 5/11
