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.

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

Good to see they owned up to the error and didn't just pass it off like it was no big deal.

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?)

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

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray

Still nothing for me either.

My email reply from them on July 15th:

We had a small batch of Blu-Rays go out with incorrect audio. I am waiting for a reprint and then I will send you correct copies. Please feel free to keep the one you have.

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

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray

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:

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