No. What kind of issues?

I still have yet to watch the Wolf Man, Phantom and Creature but all the others have been fine. The only issue I've had is a couple of times in one or other of the films the sound has dropped out for a second or two, but when I rewind a bit and play it's fine, so I think that's my player rather than the discs.

On my Mummy disc you can see there is a few spots that look lighter in colour. In my set it's only the Mummy disc , it freezes at 14 min. in.
On the USA thread others have problems as well with the UK set (not always the Mummy)

I got some stuttering in Dracula (first 5 minutes or so) the first time I watched it. It seemed okay the second time after I turned off the monster tracks feature.

The only other movie I've watched so far is The Wolf Man and that seemed to play okay.

Old Bones · 10-12-2012, 10:27 PM

This is someone elses disc , but mine look similar.

Carlos2992 · 10-12-2012, 11:13 PM

Can someone please tell if all movies have spanish subtitles? Thanks a lot !

Simon_LDT · 10-13-2012, 12:23 AM

Still no movement from Amazon on my order so have cancelled and trying my luck again with Sainsbury's (who have now changed their stock status from 6 days to 1 day so hoping they've got some).

My player has been known to do that

My old setup used to do that too. Actually I think it was the Yamaha DSP-A1 amp rather than the player because t happened with HD-DVD movies played using an XBox and with Blu-rays played using a PS3. My new HDMI-based setup never does it :-)

Frankenstein last night for me and again it looked stunning and dare i say slightly better PQ than Dracula.
The make up and special effects would not look out of place in today's horror films.

Modman · 10-13-2012, 12:46 PM

Well good luck to those who ordered via Sainsburys, i gave them 10 days after release and then i had enough, shoddy considering i ordered 6 weeks before release. Zavvi came through and delivered within 3 days, for the sake of £4 it was worth it.

People who ordered from Sainsbury's should have received their dispatch email, I got mine yesterday. Don't mind waiting tbh, only cost £30 for the coffin version (with discounts applied).

Modman · 10-13-2012, 05:15 PM

That's great and if i wasn't to bothered whether i got it all not then i would have left my pre-order with them. However, my correspondence with them gave me no confidence that the order would be fulfilled, so i took my business elsewhere!

I still can't get over how stunning the transfers look. I was afraid of a very heavy-grain image, but was glad to find a clean image for such an old movie - very impressive.

Be nice

Simon_LDT · 10-15-2012, 09:49 AM

For those interested, seems Sainsbury's finally have stock as my order has just been posted.

Kuros · 10-15-2012, 04:48 PM

And do any/all of the films in the UK Set have those hideous, cheap-looking Symbol only menus, like on the UK Jaws BD?
