Same here. I figured they would have shipped by now, but apparently now. I wonder when these will finally ship.

Just got a postage notice/tracking number from Screen Archives through Endicia, so it looks like these new releases are starting to ship out.

My order for the Man From Hong Kong just shipped.

Hoping they can still release some of the fox movies!

I agree, I'm not sure how this guy has the feedback rating that he has, I was simply wanting to make people aware of this person.

I'm sure you don't want to go on and on about this, but all I want to say is that is POS should not be allowed to walk away scot free after what he did to you. You might never recover your 2K, but then again you might because you can report that low life to the FBI and the Internet Complaint Crime Center. I think it is worth a shot. I'm pretty sure a $2000 scam is considered grand larceny and you have this jerk's name and address, so he can't hide from the FBI. See link below.

Got The Man From Hong Kong today and in the process of watching it. Looks pretty good.

The spine is a bit different from other Twilight Time in terms of the Twilight Time logo, but the text is pretty much the same for the title of the film. Also came in a blue case, so I had to switch it to a clear one.

I’m not sure if I picked up the TT release or the slight cheaper Umbrella release since it has more special features. The movie itself will be a blind buy so when you watch (or others who have seen it) I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

I liked it. There was a lot more action than I was expecting and it has George Lazenby as the main villain. It basically felt like one of those international Jackie Chan films from the 90's just taking place in the 70's and more violent.

The one way the TT version will probably be better than the Umbrella is it should look better because they didn't try to stack so many extras on one disc. The Umbrella should've had two discs. However, since I got the Umbrella for $18 only a few months ago, and coupled with the fact there are so many other new films I need that the TT is not enough for me to double-dip, but if I were advising people who didn't already own the release on which version to get I advise the TT version over the Umbrella.

Saw a couple of pics of the new releases on Twitter. Not really digging the blue cases, but those can be changed out to clear. I guess they just say "Limited Edition" on the back now, instead of limited to 3,000? Minor complaints overall. I'm glad they are still putting out films at least

Are the blue cases a mistake? In their advertising those new releases were shown with clear cases, right?

Definitely clear cases on their website and on Facebook. Not sure what is up with that...?

Is that their response regarding the use of the blue cases or was it in response to a different question?

I just asked about the cases. I don't really believe what they are saying, but I could be wrong

[rdodolak]

What kind of case are they using now, I'm guessing they're not Viva Elite then?

Could you ask them as a follow up, why their advertisement showed clear cases and now blue are used and if they will offer replacement cases as TT did in the past? Or they should advertise those releases differently. As a collector those things matter.
