I can't speak for the Millenium films but my bootleg rip of the GVMG74 Blu-Ray does feature the Okinawa stuff and the Mechagodzilla encyclopedia. Not sure on the "MG Theory", don't really know what that is.

Megaguirus was the only Millennium movie which had the soundtrack included in the initial DVD box, which has been hard to come by for years.

I think it's what described on the DVD Compare entry for the Japanese GvMG74 DVD as a "Study on Mechagodzilla's design by Shin'ichirou Kobayashi"/

So, what does Manufacture on Demand mean? I looked it up, and it sounds kind of bootleggy. Saw some Manufacture on Demand DVD’s for the Toho Scope Varan release on EBay for $15. Because of the price, I’m tempted to buy it, but I don’t know if I’m getting a bootleg. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?

It’s a DVD-R likely made using the ISO files from the Tokyo Shock DVD. It’s in essence a bootleg copy of the disc but there’s not likely to be any discernible differences besides the type of disc. If you’re desperate for a copy and don’t care about the morality of owning a counterfeit product, it’s a decent way to stock up on old releases.

Sounds good to me! Thanks!

Just to be clear, "Manufacture on Demand" doesn't necessarily mean the disc is a bootleg. Some labels, like WB's Warner Archive, have taken to doing this for catalog titles, but I don't think Media Blasters would be doing anything of that sort. (Although, with them, who the hell really knows?) Those are probably unauthorized copies.

I found the listing in question and it's definitely not MB doing it. It even calls Varan a "public domain" movie.

It came in the mail. Movie works fine, quality is fine. I just need to get a blank DVD cover and print out the picture. The other side of the disk is just plain white.

Is there a streaming guide to Toho's movies? I feel like that would be really helpful right now.

There’s this thread, but it could stand an update.

Did "Age Video" release "Godzilla vs. Megalon" in 2003? If so what does it look like? And can somebody send me a link to it? Toho Kingdom has it under a DVD so my guess is it's a DVD.

Question about the foreign Blu-rays of King Kong (1976) released by or in association with Studio Canal.

According to DVD Compare, most Blu-ray releases of it only have 13:50 worth of Deleted Scenes, but the German release apparently has 16:30 instead. What is the difference? Does the German release have more deleted scenes than the other releases? Or is this a mistake?

Are there any streaming services with the Heisei and/or Millennium Godzilla films available?

for free? I don't think so, but I know they are all available for purchase on Amazon & Vudu, perhaps other sites. (Except RoG & Biollante...not sure those are on any Streaming Platform)...But all the Sony BRD's came with free digital copies, so that's how I got mine. Although I think something is off...My ROM 3 only has subs, no dub, although, it could be something weird with VUDU's settings... Which is why I am glad I have the physical BRD. Streaming is convenient, but can never replace the reliability of pulling a disc off a shelf where you know it will never randomly disappear.

Also it makes it hard to keep a streaming list updated, as Terasawa pointed out, the current one is completely outdated, and even if we made one based on all options TODAY, in a year, it would probably change quite a bit as well.
To all you dub preservationists, my friends, you have my eternal thanks 8-) . Never stop what you do, you are amazing!
