And the shipping takes FOREVER.

I've ordred from them twice (granted this was probably two years ago) and it took three to four weeks to get my stuff.

Can anyone advise on the Charles Band DVD Collection, Vol. 1 (Meridian / Crash And Burn / Dr. Mordrid / Head Of The Family)?

I KNOW I want Meridian on DVD. Sherilyn Fenn was a huge crush of mine from Twin Peaks and I loved seeing 'more' of her in this film when I rented it on VHS. $25 for the one film I want is starting to get into the reasonable range (but still pretty expensive).

I've got no clue what the other films in this set are like and if the quality of the DVDs are as bad as some are saying, I'm thinking I might regret this if I take the plunge on this even at half off.

Crash and Burn is a fun post-nuke movie, I think it was the second or third Full Moon movie, decent budget (for Full Moon), Dr. Mordrid is fun, it's a rip off of Dr Strange except with boobs, Head of the Family is a weird black comedy, not for all tastes.

$25 isn't bad for four movies, that's about right. The first three are on par with the VHS releases as far as the transfers go. Head of the Family is better (it's newer) and has a commentary track (which isn't very good) and all the movies have the making of "Video Zones" as special features.

May I safely assume that you already have Two Moon Junction on DVD?

The Dr. Mordrid guy has boobs?!?! That does sound fun.

My order shipped today. We'll see how long it takes to get here.

Sadly no, there are boobs in the movie. Although Dr. Mordrid IS magic, he could probably conjur up some boobs for himself.

More than likely you will still be able to get a premium return on ebay should you upgrade.

The puppet master movies are among my favorites.

I never sell off any DVDs I upgrade, it's just too much of a hassle for me, and the return is not worth it. I usually give them away unless there's something not carried over. I too love the PM movies, but oh well.

Got my order yesterday no loose dvds and no damage to the dvd sets. Shipped on 12/12 just 7 days to get here. Not to bad!

Looks like the availability of the Puppet Master box set is now at "pre-order" ($99.99)

Damn. I shouldn't have waited so long to decide if I wanted to get the set or not.

You can also buy it from Full Moon direct on Amazon.com to save on shipping..99.99 plus $2.98.

You can still place an order for the Puppet Master set even though it says pre order. Once it is in your cart it will show a price of $50 still so the deal is still good for PM

Definitely love Arcade! It is included in the FULL Moon Classics Volume One. $29.97 isn't bad.

Free shipping not showing up for me.

It did for me and I just ordered the Puppet Master box for $50 total. Very nice.

Just put in an order for the Puppetmaster and Subspecies Box Sets! 1/2 off and free shipping convinced me.

Thanks OP and those that contributed!

I'm glad I looked back in this thread. My original complaint about the outrageous shipping cost is now gone. I would have paid a reasonable shipping cost, but free is even better. So I ordered the Trancers set. Thanks, LosingMyMind, for the update!

Can't get the 50% off or free shipping. What's the deal???

Not sure. Close your browser and clear your cookies for Full Moon? Make sure you're ordering a box set. Also, Full Moon Classics Volume II is listed on the site as excluded from the sale. The free shipping option shows up right before submitting the order.

Has DVD Talk reviewed any of these? You'd think Full Moon would be sending them some samples.

Maybe it's the kind of thing where studios don't screen their films for critics because they know what kind of response they'll get

Trancers is $30 for the whole set, isn't it? Hm.....

It wasn't doing it for me either. So I logged out, added to cart, then proceeded to checkout. Instead of logging back in, I submitted my information but with a different email address & password. All discounts appeared after doing that.
