If you can get the DD box sets then do that instead. They are cheaper than buying the discs separately. A great deal now for sure. I just wish that some of the other Region 1 Shaws were this cheap; though some of them are cheaper than what they were.

Ya good call. the box sets are awesome price wise and in general. i am still waiting counting the minutes for masked avengers R1. i cant remember if its media blasters or who had that title but i need that in R1 from hd master! with english dub.

Are all the companies closing shop? i hope media blasters is still alive. seems drgon dynasty is doing ok, although i miss bey logan's involvement

Dragon Dynasty has not released anything in quite a while. The website is dormant. At least Media Blasters recently revamped its website. http://www.media-blasters.com/main/ Latest update was this past week. Media Blasters is still releasing dvds, still buying rights to Asian films. But not very many people are buying Shaw Brothers dvds, not enough to justify the release of any more of them in the U.S. This info is from someone at the Media Blasters (Sam Goody) table in the Comic-Con dealers room earlier this month.

Consider the poor response to the Well Go USA release of Duel of Fists and Swordsman and Enchantress on dvd last April. OK, they weren't the good quality releases that fans demand, but if the message Well Go gets is - the fans won't buy these because the fans expect better - why should Wall Go USA release any more Shaw titles either?

Or they could actually make an effort to release something fans want.

Er... you haven't followed any debates on this platform for a good lil' while, haven't you? Seems like most companies are closing shop (at least most of the ones that readers of this forum would care about!) and DD's been silent for about a year and a half by now...

With or without sorting out the aspect ratio problems of said releases, since most “fans” presumably download those kind of bare-bone releases nowadays, I’m convinced the likes of WellGo USA would have lost money anyway. And as for MB, I always suspected that their immaculately fan-friendly Shaw range never found the amount of buyers needed to make the whole exercise at least half-way worthwhile. And aren’t the price slashes for those out-sourced Dragon Dynasty titles more than a confirmation that its truly GAME OVER as far as any further Shaw R 1 releases are concerned? All those ever-popular “give the fans what they ask for and all is well” ramblings sound increasingly spooky and stale at this time.

Damn,, ya ive been out of the loop for about a year or so. That sucks. I just wish i could get masked avengers as i stated with english dub in true Hd quality ( without the pal transfer issues)

But im sure we all have the " one that got away" movie now.. Didnt dragon dynasty go dormant once before than came back to life? even with bey logan returning for a moment? i cant recall..

also im not sure how much of it is the genre specific issue that is inherent in sales or the fact Dvd sales are dropping across the board. maybe a little bit of both...

cmon companies, release the entire rest of the catalogue on BLU RAY and call it a day!

Do these have the English Dubbed version on it? And in Avenging Eagles they still have the missing fight between when Fu Sheng tries to kick Ku Feng on the stairs and when Ti Lung and Fu Sheng come at Ku with the double team.That Sucks! I wanna know why that scene is missing for!?
