That's disappointing. Sounds like they're satisfied with "very good dvd mastering." It also sounds like I shouldn't expect a blu ray upgrade of The Lusty Men any time soon. I almost included that title in my recent 5 for 50 order, but I didn't want to risk a potential double dip.

Yeah, I suspect that if they're thinking about doing a Blu-ray edition, they'd just do it straightaway rather than do a DVD-R now, and a Blu-ray later. About the only DVD-Rs of theirs on my radar now are series film sets like the Lex Barker-onwards Tarzan sets, and some individual titles from favorite directors like Fritz Lang and Jacques Tourneur that are unlikely to get Blued. Most of the DVD-Rs I've gotten from them so far are the Wheeler & Woosley releases.

Double check your order status on their website. I didn't receive a shipping email from them until the afternoon of the day my package arrived.

I'm guessing that it got caught up in the folding of Warner Archive into WB Shop.

Asked on facebook about THEM!, TIME AFTER TIME and THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, Warner has said that one of these titles has been restored for Blu-ray release later this year and that the other two will likely follow.

With THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN announced in Germany, this might be a very good year for vintage sci-fi. Especially if Warner also releases VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED.

That title is probably "Them" which has been showing on the TMC HD channel the past year. It's a solid, if unspectacular upgrade.

Great news about Them! And The Thing From Another World. Thank you for the info! Now if we could get The Valley of Gwangi and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. Anyone willing to ask them about these great Harryhausen titles?

If it is Them!, it'll be a much welcomed upgrade from the open matte DVD. Plus, WHV always does more cleanup for their releases than what has been done for HD broadcast masters.

Musicguy · 03-05-2015, 12:42 AM

It's most likley "THEM" since it is the only film currently with a DCP - and most of Warners DCPs are on blu-ray

Well, my order from the "5 for $50" sale (placed on Feb 20) has finally shipped today. Only 2½ weeks after I placed the order. I checked my previous orders, and there had never been a gap of more than 5 days between order and shipping. Two of my previous five orders were shipped only a day after I placed them.

While I suspect that my order did fall into the cracks as WBShop took over for Warner Archive, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

I did finally send an email to them last Wednesday. As I hit "send", a pop-up said they'd get back to me within two business days. Still haven't heard back from them.

I ordered 2/19 and mine was shipped 2/24. Got it a few days later. Sucks your order got screwed. Hope it gets sorted out.

Does anyone have a direct email that Warner actually replies to? The web-form seems useless at this point.

My copy of Possessed had the wrong blu-ray inside the case. I've sent them MULTIPLE messages through their wbshop web form and no response - including the one for simple returns/exchanges. I figured the 1st one might have been lost because of the "integration" of Warner Archive into Warner shop. But then the Warner Shop customer service didn't respond either - and it's been a full week now!!!

I guess I can try calling them tomorrow, but it's kind of upsetting to not even get a reply. I don't even think i got an automated reply.

Try emailing Sherri.Bogard@warnerbros.com She has helped me numerous times with replacement disc and similar issues.
