Q: Hello, I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Will the fixed BTTF dvd's be released to stores?If so, when can we expect them and how can we make sure that we don't get the originals? Thanks for your time!
A: When the initial run of the DVDs has been sold, the new versions will be the only versions available. I don't know what they'll put on the box to indicate this. But if you have the original pressings, Universal will replace them with the new ones when they're available. The official website should have the number to call, and BTTF.com will have the correct info. The new pressings will not be availble until next month -- probably late in the month. The remastering is supposed to be finished this week. The new pressings will also have letterbox versions of the trailers. Why they put the fullscreen trailers on the widescreen editions is beyond me.

i've actually done temp work involving data entry, so if universal is doing anything like what i've done, these delays are not suprising. i also know that calling often doesnt get anything done any quicker because i've worked with phone customer service reps before. it's just when your letter gets entered into the computer. obviously, the stack wasnt made chronologically or in any apparent order. it's just completely disorganized, and hopefully our info wasnt just lost.
yes. after watching macross plus all those years ago on the original USA VHS release, i became a huge fan.

Upon my 2nd phone call, the operator (who remembered me from the first call) entered me directly into the mailing list queue as we were on the phone. I heard him type it in, he repeated all the info back to me, and 'll be receiving my discs this week.

Why dont you people who got two sets be good samaritans and hook up those that arent getting them???
I got my set back a week or so ago, and if I got a 2nd set I would ship it to one of you guys...???
What ever happened to being nice??

Me too 
I'll refund your shipping cost to Canada, perhaps even trade a DVD for them.

Is there a deadline on when you can get replacements? I still haven't gotten around to opening my "flawed" set but I suppose I could open it just for getting the replacements.

Mid-February for me and nothing in return. I finally called them and they had no record of receiving anything from me, but the customer rep promised she would send something out. We shall see...
