Boy, I sure am glad that I paid $100 for the Puppet Master box set when they started selling them again at an extremely limited quantity or however they put it...

Full Moon's DVD's consistently are of very poor quality and are at best from Laserdisc masters, if you are lucky.
Plus they are way over priced, even at 50% off.

Me too. I guess limited time meant from then on and limited quantity meant 100K.

The Puppet Master set is really tempting to me at $50. I might have to pick it up.

Yea, keep in mind the majority were released direct-to-video. Actually, were any Full Moon films released theatrically?

That's strange. The disc that comes in the Trancers box set doesn't do that.

I thought Puppet Master played theatrically? I also thought that Meridian got a Theatrical release in Europe? Regardless I'm sure they were all shot with home video, open matte in mind.
That being said I've transfered all my old Full Moon VHS tapes onto DVD-R and to be quite honest a lot of them look better than the transfers on the DVDs Full Moon has released. I don't think Charles Band officially ownes these films, or at the very least does not have access to the negatives due to the weird legal situation with Paramount, hence no remastering. But that being said it would be nice if he could have thrown some commentary tracks on some of the releases.
By far the only Full Moon/Band DVD self release that I thought was very good was "Tourist Trap", it's a nice transfer, great extras, etc.

I'm pretty irritated by the shipping cost. $8+ for the cheapest shipping for the Trancers set? A 5-disc box set for $8 shipping? That's worse than Columbia House, which has outrageous shipping costs for box sets. Where's the Media Mail option? I won't be ordering the Trancers set at $30 + an artificially and unnecessarily high shipping cost.

Did you get a confirmation e-mail? I didn't.
I notice their prices don't seem to be 50% off anymore.

I know my brother saw The Creeps (a Full Moon release) years ago in a movie theater and not only was it 2.35:1 but also in 3-D(!). Granted, this was part of a Full Moon special night, where Charles Band and Phil Fondacaro were in attendance. I know Shrieker was also shot in 2.35:1, don't know if it ever played theaters though.
I too am reluctant to go in for the PM box, if they aren't remastered. I used to own some PM laserdiscs and those seemed to be a bit better looking than the DVD releases.
