He stomped the disc with a rare Titanosaurus Bulkmark figure to make the scratches.

^ It ain't Titanosaurus anymore. Toho wants you to call him "Chitanozorus" now.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Toho wants you to call him "Chitanozorus" now.

I thought those were the microscopic fossil things that look like deflated whoopee cushions.

I hope you're kidding.

[Goji]

Yes, he is quite clearly kidding.

I visited a comic shop in town I seldom frequent, and the owner was oblivious about how rare his two bluray copies of DAM were. Snagged a new copy for $30.

[tymon]

I just found a DVD copy of DAM for $15 at my local Hastings...if anyone is having trouble finding a copy, PM me and I can have it shipped to ya.

[wataru]

MB claimed in their Facebook page that GvsMegs barebones DVD is done, approved by Toho and the distributor is done making the discs. Shipping in September.

^ Thanks. Although I'm sure we agree that news from MB is to be taken very lightly, its still nice to have someone report their Facebook comments since well... not Everyone uses Facebook, such as myself. You would think they would actually use their website to post news, but oh well... that might be too costly.

Maybe they plan to release Megalon on the same day as the more recent push back day for the Gamera:The Brave Blu-Ray (9/25/12)? I dont plan on purchasing either at this point, ( I own the Gamera:The Brave MB DVD & Madman Megalon DVD) but I figure I've been following the story since 4/1/11, might as well see it through to the end.

[Gojira-Fan]

I wonder if that commentary will ever see the light of day. It was one of the main reasons I was looking forward to the release...

[omgitsgodzilla]

Yeah. If we're just looking at a subtitled DVD of the Japanese transfer playable on American machines, well... That's why we have bootlegs. If it were a Blu, it might be a different story. But another SD release... I'll pass.

Media Blasters' full post on the subject just for the record:
It has been announced a while ago but the bareones DVD of GvM is done and at replicators. Approved 100% by Toho and will be shipping in September to stores. There is no blu ray right now cause not approved by Toho yet but we do plan on doing one. The issues with the Godzilla stuff was an issue of us pushing too fast without Toho finishing approvals. We went overboard on the extras.

Someone asked if it had been pushed back from the August date and MB's poster corrected themself and said the August date is still on. So at least at this point they are still hoping to do a BRD, no doubt with at least some of the extras that the DVD/BRD 2011 release was originally supposed to have.

They say 8/11/2012. What they mean is 2/11/2028

I know they seemed apprehensive about doing a bare bones BRD and although I'd love extras I'd take a bare bones BRD over no BRD at all.

[omgitsgodzilla]

True, but for the sheer amount of stuff one can put on a Blu-Ray, a bare-bones release on that format is even more disappointing than a bare-bones DVD.

Same. Heck at this point (with MB's issues & all) a Godzilla vs Megalon DVD/Blu Ray with decent video quality with subtitles & the dub are all I ask for (even though it'd be nice to have extras on there)

[wataru]

I dont think youll even see a BRD/DVD of a Godzilla film.

I bet Toho didnt approve the DVD. I bet Toho wanted MORE $$$ for a BRD and MB couldnt afford it. Theyll gotta use that money to buy the rights to big boob anime, promote it then let the rights expire as they screw off for 8 months.

[Manda2012]

Dang, Amazon is selling Media Blasters' DAM for $40!

[o.supreme]

would have been funnier if you started that post with "DAM" instead of dang. Also prices are only going to go up unless MB does another pressing of these, which seems extremely unlikely at this point. I actually had two of these in my possesion. I sold the seond one for a slight profit, but that was back in decmber for only $25.00 when I paid $20 for it darn hindsight.
