Did not order for this very reason. Box set like this should have had A+ auditing.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

omg. why is anyone complaining??!!

this is a comprehensive, as Definitive Edition of movies (short of 4K) we hate to love or love to hate as we're ever gonna get. it has everything we could possibly need and then 10x more. it has the 3rd in Real 3D, uncut versions of one that has never been on blu before. there is what? 10-20 seconds of messed up footage spread across 3 discs? so fucking what? the disc replacement couldn't have been easier and they will be sent in few weeks. Shout!/Scream is a fantastic company and will continue to be so. and have rectified other mistakes in past simply and easily.

when you got so much content spread across 15 discs or so, some minor, itty bitty fuckups might happen and these aren't even that big of a deal. some single discs are authored incorrectly and particular company makes restitution, it happens. they've put out this, Halloween, so many single movie horror, they are gold, still, as far as i'm concerned. they just put out great stuff and most of the time (98%) they are pristine and packed to gills with extra stuff.

so enough bitching and moaning. this is a fantastic set that is being rectified by distributor in record time. case closed. rant over.

100%

This has made me an even bigger SF fan. Three minor issues in a fantasic 16 disc set and they mobolized a replacement program for all 3 discs 3 days after the release of said set. Some people who collect physical media just aren't happy unless they have something to whine like a baby about.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

Yeah, it does suck about the errors, but it’s still a well put together set that’s packed to the gills. A few mistakes don’t ruin it, and Shout was prompt about a replacement program.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

The set that I forgot that I ordered from Deep Discount arrived today. It was also in perfect shape with no silicate films. I'm planning to return that one to Target since I can do that locally and that's where I ordered my other set.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

I have no interest in this set either way, but regardless of how minor the issues are, if you can't see the problem with this then I don't know what to tell you. This is FAR from shout's first stroll down the path of mix ups and disc replacements. One would think with a project of this size they would be extra careful to QC the set given the cost of replacing all those discs after the fact. Sure it's 99% fine, but at this point I don't trust shout and am actually glad when one of the other boutiques get something over them.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

Decided to scoop up the last remaining set from Best Buy today via curbside. It's a fantastic one. I went through the discs and got no dupes, no missing discs, andno scratches or mysterious slices. I still have my Target one backordered, so if that one ends up getting shipped, I'll either return it or just sell it on Ebay.

I love 3D on my 4K TV. Looks better than when I was watching it on my old 1080p set.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

Anyone switch cover art on most discs? I switched all, but why would only 6-8 not have reversible? Anyway, like not the same ole that default side is. The others little more unique and not always seen. Are 6-8 same discs as old set, is that reason? I remembering reading some were same disc. New Friday (2009), I believe, is exact. Couple others I don’t recall...

They’re fixing the mistakes within the same week of release. Yes is stinks that they made mistakes, but I won’t get on them that hard.

LG did several. I got the LG OLED65C6P because it also had HDR. Alan has the size up from mine iirc.

Wow. I also had no idea a 4K 3D set existed. Really cool.

It's great that they're fixing them, but as a fan of these sorts of sets (if not this particular one) it's frustrating when everytime one comes out, it's almost guaranteed there will be some sort of problem. As someone who worked in production for years (book manufacturing) I can tell you that nothing erodes customer confidence like screw up after screw up, no matter how quickly and efficiently the product is fixed/replaced. I just want to know if there's anyone at Shout who actually gets upset when this stuff happens or if they just expect it. Maybe replacement discs are cheaper than providing actual quality control?

I've got one as well. I ended up not going with the OLED because I didn't have the funds at that time (really wish I did), but it's still a great set, has 3d and HDR.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

I forgot how terrible the characters are and the acting is in Freddy vs. Jason. What's up with the lame knockoff of Jay (Jason Mewes)? Finally, they couldn't remove the old ass trailers from the disc files before pressing them?

Freddy vs Jason is just the recycled old New Line disc. Same goes with F13 2009 being the old WB disc.

If only you insisted on this level of auditing and scrutiny for every faction that you choose to align yourself with.

I watched the first two films last night -- man, the 4K restorations are phenomenal. I'm gonna do Part 3 & 4 this morning.

I don’t think Part 6 & 7 HAD any alternate poster art.

And the alternate Part 8 artwork (I ❤️NY) was probably still off limits due to the NY tourism bureau.

Too bad they can’t use the I ❤️ NY poster. Such a cool one.

Re: Friday The 13th BR Box Set in the works.

Just received my copy from amazon. They actually put it in a box that was the perfect size for it along with air pillows. No duplicate discs, scratches, box cutter slashes on the box or the spines so I am happy. Really nice looking set.
Now just to wait for the replacement discs
