They do have at least the first and last Trancers movie on DVD as well as some of the Subspecies.
For the ones they didn't have rights to, if you go to their page and look at the right side, you can find an import page where they got around the rights issue by making the DVDs region 0 so people in the US could get them. The page used to work but now doesn't seem to.
The DVDs are all full screen and there is absolutely nothing special about them and that is why I'm hoping they will put out another box set with the movies that came out after the set did with a lot better features.
The people thinking they will make any money on ebay don't seem to realize that everyone and their mother is going to be flooding the market with these so you probably won't be making double your money anytime soon.

I want these bad, but with the poorness of their quality, I'll just hold off for the very unlikely re-release in widescreen (where applicable) and with any sort of extras or anything.

These movies will probably never be released in widescreen, because for the most part they were all direct to video as far as I know (except maybe the first one?) and shot full frame. Also, they do have extras- the original behind the scenes 'videozones that were on the original vhs releases. I'd love some sort of retrospective done by Band that would cover all of them.
When the box set was released a review site did a very indepth review, many pages long, on each movie, the PQ and the extras- the whole nine yards, one of the most in-depth reviews I ever read. I think it may have been dvdreview? I'll try to find it.

Hmm... I thought maybe the first 2 or so were released theatrically (of course, I'm just talking out of my ass). Well, in any case, $100 is too much with what's being released in the next few weeks anyhow.

I agree, $100 for 7 schlocky horror movies seems a little stiff. I've seen most of these movies and like them a lot, but let's admit it...these are the typesof movies you'd generally find in the dump bin at Wal-Mart. I've looked at them on ebay in the past, but even this lower price seems like too much. If only the set was around $50 r so, I'd have pissed myself and bought one immediately.
I was surprised at how many Full Moon movies I've seen after visiting their site. I watched a ton of their movies in the early 90's but didn't realize it was one specific company. The Subspecies series was great!

I know some came out in Mexico, but I don't think Full Moon have the rights to release them on DVD in the States.... as I'm sure they would have if they did have the rights. A Trancers or Subspecies box set would be a big seller.
