SPECIAL SILENCERS to ship anytime soon?

From MM facebook;
"

here have been a lot of questions about when the Halloween bundles will ship, even though we have let everyone know that they would begin going out in January.
We still hope to meet that goal. But there has been delays at our replicator that have put us behind about three weeks at least. This is sadly completely out of our hands. We turned everything over to them more than a month ago now. We SHOULD have already been able to begin the shipping process.
However, this has not turned out to be the case.
We will be giving an update next week once we have a better idea of when the stock will actually ship to us. Everything is CLOSE to being done but the final assembly is taking forever.
We apologize for the long wait, but we promise it's almost over."
 
Did read vinegar is having delays with January titles hopefully delays are not pandemic as Run and Kill should be shipped this month...

Tentative Mondo Macabro 2024 Schedule

On sale in June, shipping in July –
WARRIOR TRILOGY – Triple feature BD set of some of the wildest action films ever made in Indonesia or anywhere else. Features all of the ‘Jaka Sembung’ films starring Barry Prima and produced by Rapi Films in the 1980s

On sale in August, shipping in September –
Two more utterly insane Japanese films from Toei studios. Both from the 1970s. One is making its North American disc debut, the other is making its HD debut (and yes, UHD is possible on this one, we just need to examine the new scan when it arrives)

I was hoping for School of the Holy Beast but unfortunately, it's already been ruled out by Jared. @Takuma you have your pulse on what's making its way to HD over in Japan from Toei, any educated guesses on the the two titles?

Was School of the Holy Beast ruled out recently, or back when all Norifumi Suzuki films were unavailable to license? I remember Jared said that a couple of years ago, but that was when Suzuki films were not available to anyone outside of Japan. That only changed sometime last year, with Film Movement (Red Peony Gambler 2) and Discotek (Sex and Fury) being the fastest ones to announce upcoming Suzuki releases. Jared also confirmed Terrifying Girls' High School 1-3 have been sold to some other company.

That being said, I'm not aware of School having an HD master yet, so that would obviously pose an issue.

There's a lot of other cool stuff that do have HD masters available, the latest addition being Teruo Ishii's Bohachi Bushido which will have it's HD premiere next week on Toei Channel! That films needs a BD release asap!

yes, Jared mentioned SoTB was ruled out as late as a week ago. Someone else suggested Yuji Makaguchi's Torn Priestess but he also ruled that one out as no HD master was available.

That's not correct, though. Toei did a brand new HD master for Torn Priestess a year ago. In fact, Toei has HD masters for all of Yuji Makiguchi's film except for Hiroshima Honour, and they all aired on Toei Channel in 2022-2023,

Ok, I just checked again to verify & Jared mentioned "the last time he asked" an HD master wasn't available. He made that statement last week. So he must've asked before last year & is unaware that an HD master now exists for that film.

Now here's a more comprehensive answer to your question, as to what could be released:

Latest good news: Delinquent Girl Boss: Blossoming Night Dreams premiering in HD on Toei Channel in March. The rest will almost certainly follow in Apr.-Jun.

This is music to my ears. The "not yet" part re: Mystics in Bali and also curious to see what Indo film Jared has in store for us this year.

Absolutely! This is gonna seriously mess up my must-get-this-month BR list, but I don't care. Getting my paycheck on the 15th, I'll be ready for preorder wars.

Had no idea Timo Tjahjanto has a script and plans for the Blindswordsman character. Hopefully it comes to realization one day.

While shipping and import fees increase total quite a lot, list price $35 for Warrior set is bargain. Can`t wait to see Warrior&The Ninja again after roughly 25 years.

Preordered!

Me too. Jared made it a point to say The Warrior Trilogy will be reasonably priced unlike some of the other boxsets coming from other boutique labels of late. I think this will be one of the more underrated releases of the year.

51$ for me. Might have additional expenses when it arrives, but shouldn't be more than 10$. Still OK. These films, that quality.. great price for a great release.
