I don't think Stuart's getting paid has much to do with this getting released. I'm glad he got paid, but I think now it rests on MB's shoulders not to goof it up, so Toho can approve everything and get it on the shelves. |

Real McCoy is right, Stuart and Steve's payment did not matter. If they didn't get paid, then we would simply just have an audio commentary-less DVD/Blu-Ray. |

I was finally able to pick up the Destroy All Monsters Blu-ray today, and I have to say; I'm getting more and more anxious for Megalon than before. |

The question that I have in my head now is: will they ever get a special edition approved at all? Keith Aiken at scifi japan says we shouldn't worry, but I can't help it with all that's been going on lately. And by the way: if any of you have read that article, did you happen to read the synopsis on the back cover? Mu? Really? I'm not appalled or anything, but it's just weird. And then the bit below it about the bootlegs and other "shoddy" releases. That definitely felt out of place. |

Probably not. It's more along the lines of personal preference rather time or money or ect. problems. |

I noticed the other day that the tentative August(2012) release date for the base basic Mediablasters R1 DVD release of Godzilla Vs Megalon(1973) has been removed at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Vs-Megalon-Various/dp/B005K8RJKQ

I don't usually raise a fuss about this stuff, but this is getting annoying. Whoever it is that keeps dragging this down; whether it be management or Toho, needs to be pistol-whipped. I believe this is now the second delay after the initial delay, which makes a total of three. Oh well... |

Good way to kill the sales of this disc, oh well it wasn't a fan favorite of mines so it's not a big deal to me. |

Keith Aiken of Sci-Fi Japan posted at Facebook two days ago that he had received word from Mediablasters that their distributor was about to start shipping out DVD copies of Godzilla Vs Megalon, presumably to store and online retailers planning to stock them for sale to the public.

I love this movie. I'm glad MB finally got it together enough to put it out. A weird thing I noticed: The MST3K version of Godzilla vs. Megalon is available on Youtube. I was under the impression that it was not allowed to be posted, as I've heard of people that have had it taken down before. It's been on there for months and nothing has happened. I'm not complaining, but it's just odd. |

I got my copy of the Mediablasters R1 DVD of Godzilla Vs Megalon yesterday in the mail and watched it last night in Japanese with English subtitles. The print looks excellent, it's just unfortunate that there are no extras. |

Is the Blu-Ray still a real possibility or no? If it's not then I might pick-up the DVD just so I have it on R1. |

Trent, a couple of comments I've seen made by Keith Aiken of Sci-Fi Japan on Facebook suggest that a BD/DVD of this film with significant extras is not imminent and that fans shouldn't expect a release like this anytime soon. Mediablasters has also been struggling financially and there are some in the "fandom" who have grumbled that this company might actually go out of business before another release of Godzilla Vs Megalon could be released to retailers. That said it's still possible we'll get a BD/DVD release of this movie from Mediablasters...but I would think the earliest that would happen would be sometime in 2013. |

I am under the impression that Media Blasters just got done re-newing their buisness title. That could be a reason, along with a lot of others, why the Megalon project is so messed up. http://media-blasters.com/main/index.php/the-news/797-important-news-concerning-the-status-of-media-blasters-inc?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook |

So what does everybody else think of their copies (if you've gotten it yet, of course)? I'm very happy with mine. The English track seems a little weird; like there's not enough bass in it or something. That said, however, it does sound better than any other I've heard before. No complaints whatsoever. The Picture quality, as packmule said, is very good; the best one could expect for a movie released in 1973. After another viewer pointed it out to me, I did notice something. Every time the scene cuts, there is a small black line that blinks at the bottom of the screen, and a less noticeable one at the top. I believe it was said this was "splicing." But once again, unless you're looking for it, it isn't even noticeable. All in all, this would get five stars from me if there were extras, but for now I'll just have to say four. |

Good review, I've ordered the DVD (through Amazon) last night. I don't really care for this movie but I still like to support R1 releases. |

I finally got this on DVD (it was on back order) and watched it this morning...boy is this a terrible movie. The last time I seen this movie I was a kid and I don't remember it being this bad. Tons of stock footage, cheesy dialog, cookie cutter plot...this is a true SyFy movie right here! All that said, glad to have a R1 copy... |

I wonder if there's a place one could go to that would have statistics on how well it sold/is selling compared to their other releases? Maybe that would give an idea if there were ever going to be a BR. |

I'm still torn as to whether or not purchase this Godzilla movie. As a kid growing up, it was awesome. But now, well, you know. I still might wait for the blu-ray release. If it gets a blu-ray release that is. |
