Thanks, Gizmo. I'll give them a call after the holiday and hopefully get everything sorted out.

Thanks for the heads up Gizmo!

I was just going to post if anyone knew anything about the standalone release of the first film on Blu-Ray, since it popped up on Full Moon's site.

Don't know if I want to mess with out of sync audio though

Out of sync audio in inexcusable. The ultimate fuckup, i've never even encountered it on a legit release, as legit as Full Moon can be.

Eh, I've come across a handful. I've run across more issues with subtitles being messed up where they start showing the time. In most of those cases, they were from Troma.

anyone know if the puppet master movies after part 1 were shot widescreen as well?

doubtful as I think the rest were direct to video at that point.

Dude, is this for the Original Puppetmaster or the New Puppetmaster Axis?

Both.

Unfortunately I got the erroneous audio release

Puppet Master: Axis Of Evil
Bluray Set LE# 1800

I'm waiting for a Blu-ray collection of all films.

Original Puppet Master looks great on BR!!!!

Good luck with that. They couldn't even sell all 1800 copies of the BD trunk. I'm not holding my breath for a BD release of all the films unless they simply upconvert the current (crappy) DVD masters. This is Full Moons first two BDs, and so far, they are duds (not only for the audio error, but the Picture Quality is pretty bleh). What's funny, is Axis pulls a scene from the first film, and it's pretty clear they did more work on that scene for Axis then the first film.

The better question I have is how can Full Moon stay in business?

Like Troma, they're another studio that I wish had a third-party (Blue Underground, Shout Factory, etc) releasing its films on Blu-ray/DVD/whatever.

They pump out crap films that fans eat up? Merchandising probably helps them, just like being the sole place to really buy Full Moon DVDs (Do stores even sell these?)

Yes, online and B&M stores.

I thought it looked pretty damn good compared to any previous version....

Has anybody received the replacement copies of the defective discs yet? I'm still waiting on mine.

Nope.

Still nothing for me either.

My email reply from them on July 15th:

I wonder if the correct audio version fixes the out of sync audio.

I sent them another e-mail. If no response in 48 hours I will start the chargeback process. Since they charged us when we pre-ordered, that window is getting shorter and shorter. I urge anyone else who bought these discs to contact:

Man, you seem to have gotten lucky. I haven't received mine either.

DVDs or BDs?

Argg. I tried calling and they were closed. I'll try tomorrow.

Still nothing for me yet either. I'm starting to think they're just going to wait out that chargeback window now.
