Yes except now there the remaining one's we had at the store all sold. So now we are awaiting word from the replication plant on how many of them are okay after the accident. We are hoping its at least 500 or more.

Will the bundle with blue monkey and black dragon be available again once this is sorted out?

Knowing Dark Force, I'm pretty sure that bundle will back - only now after the accident, they'll have to call that bundle the "Black and Blue Monkey" special!

It’s on its way to you. It just took a long time to leave LA. My order from them that arrived yesterday “only” took 8 days. I was expecting longer.

Must be something up in Los Angeles. My Severin order has been sitting L.A. since Aug 1, so 11 days now.

[The Great Owl]

The occupants of a hospital find themselves in a decidedly unfavorable situation when they are quarantined due to a mysteriously infectious parasite and ultimately victimized by a massive praying mantis-like monster that is powerful enough to bite the heads off of its human victims. A police detective, played by Steve Railsback (Lifeforce), a doctor, played by Gwynyth Walsh (Star Trek: Generations), and an entomologist, played by Don Lake (Police Academy), are the only ones who can save the community from disaster, but they must race against time to prevent the giant creature from spawning hundreds of ravenous offspring insects.

The 1987 Canadian horror film, Blue Monkey (Insect), directed by William Fruet (Funeral Home, Spasms), is a pleasing blend of 1950s giant insect matinee cinema and 1980s practical gore effects that hits the ground running from the get-go, as an elderly man is rushed to the hospital after falling unconscious following exposure to an exotic plant. The distinctive cover art of its VHS tape edition caught my attention during my teenage years when it was a fixture at local rental stores, so I was pleased to discover that the poster images do not oversell the actual feature. The full-sized monster does not manifest itself until well into the last half of the story, but its emergence is well worth the wait.

Be on the lookout for John Vernon (National Lampoon's Animal House) as a hospital administrator, and for SCTV stalwarts Joe Flaherty and Robin Duke as an expecting couple. Helen Hughes (Billy Madison) stars as an elderly woman whose greenhouse plant kicks off the nightmarish proceedings. Finally, a young Sarah Polley (Dawn of the Dead) shows up as one of four children who scamper around the hospital tunnels where the monster lies in wait.

I will not go so far as to say that Blue Monkey is an unsung classic, but its mix of campy humor and visceral scares are just what the doctor ordered for fans of obscure 1980s horror.

This Dark Force Entertainment/Code Red Blu-ray hits the sweet spot with a good-looking transfer that gives us plenty of colorful detail. This mostly bare-bones affair, with just a trailer in addition to the main feature, is a fine addition to my 1980s popcorn movie collection.

As I stated, it sounds like a perfect warehouse, but I would agree it would be great to get a full tour of the facility.

Yes provided we haven't lost a large amount of the inventory. Although if it is a bigger amount they will likely replace it. Should have some kind of word soon hopefully.

I guess but the place is quite awesome in person. We will do a tour so you can get a better picture.

DARK FORCE DELVES INTO THE DEVIATE!
Released in 1971 in the US by Allied Artists with the almighty X-rating this non-stop nudity and lip smacking portrayal of every sexual deviation (including intercourse) known to mankind makes Russ Meyer look like a rank amateur. It's 90 minutes of hilarity, depravity and dazzling color with a new HD master created from the original 35mm composite print. This is as "mondo macabre" as it gets and it's coming from Dark Force this summer!

I had never heard of "Beyond Love and Evil" so was surprised when I looked it up on IMDB and read the first review (from 2003) which Dark Force stole their blurb from, without attribution. Low blow, Dark Force-ians!

Do you think sdiner82 is going to sue?

I certainly do!

I think it's hilarious that you are angry about my post though, since I was just pointing out Dark Force's behavior. They steal someone else's words, you get angry at the messenger. And you wonder why people call you out in this thread for being an apologist?
