DVDEmpire was actually shipping these back on March 5th so I've had mine for a while now. You all won't be disappointed in this release. ;D

And a full report I shall give!:
-The transfer looks fine (I'm checking my DVD copy of the CE, btw). Can't tell if DNR was applied, but again the new transfer looks nice. It should also be noted that Scream said on Facebook the transfer was approved by Don Coscarelli. -The transfer for the Lincoln shorts is in good shape. -The trailer for Phantasm II is again slightly different than the ones seen on the Anchor Bay UK and US Universal releases. It starts with "The Following Preview" etc. and the end features a "Coming Soon To A Theater Near You" banner followed by the "Phantasm II" logo at the bottom. It features "This summer, the ball is back!" audio. -The Phantasm I and III trailers start with a "Phantasm and Phantasm III are not available from Scream Factory" caption. Though IMO, they should've said "Phantasm and Phantasm III are currently available from Anchor Bay Entertainment" just to give the company a plug. -Extras are delightful! The TV Spots and the Greg Nicotero featurette's audio is pitched low no doubt since they were PAL sourced and fully converted to NTSC (they could've at least corrected the audio).
So all-in-all it's a great release and what we should've gotten years ago (no offense to Universal). Now let's hope this will give Anchor Bay a jump start to release the first film on Blu-ray by this year (with the full uncut Phantasmagoria documentary).

The most fantastic and extensive special edition a Phantasm film has ever known. Great release!

Many are complaining about the video transfer. An annoying telecine wobble in the very first minutes is inherent to the film print and cannot be really fixed, according to SHOUT! Overall speaking, not a great transfer but decent nonetheless. This is the best we can get from UNIVERSAL, I would dare to say.

Yeah, apparently in the end when the Tall Man grabs Liz you can't see the gateway to the Tall Man's world in the background now. You can see the screenshot comparison on post #308 forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=203976&page=16

Got mine in the mail the other day. Great release. I think I'm going to revisit the entire series this weekend because I don't have to work!

Does anyone know if the Commentary Track on the P2 Blu-Ray was new? At the end Don asks Reggie & Angus if it's time to make another Phantasm. Which all 3 agreed that it was time. I hope it's a new commentary and signs of things to come.

The transfer of this film doesn't appear to be native 1080p.

Sad news to report today; Scream Factory has reported on Facebook that as of today, the CE is now OOP.
The good news though is that the CE DVD will seem to still appear in Well Go's 5-Movie DVD set.
