What about the customers who already ordered the previous box set & were promised replacement discs once Shout got the new masters? Do they have priority & will they receive their 'corrected' discs before this "new" tentative Oct 22 date? man if Shout! fucks this up again then I'm just going to bite the bullet & get the Japanese Paramount reissues.

Another update posted on the site:
Our new version of the Bruce Lee Legacy Collection contains the following differences from the one originally produced but withdrawn before street date:
-Correct pairing of disc label art and media for discs 10 and 11, which had inadvertently been swapped on the original release.
-New Blu-rays for The Big Boss, Fist Of Fury, Way Of The Dragon. Contrary to speculation circulating on the Internet, the original set did contain hi-def masters of the first three feature films. However, after comments from fans who had received early copies of our set, we discovered that our sources were not the recently restored transfers used for the Blu-rays in Hong Kong and Japan, but rather the original masters done a few years ago in Canada. We therefore acquired the improved masters (the master for Game of Death was not appreciably different), and have included them on this new set, for a truly definitive Bruce Lee collection.
Thank you all very much for hanging in there while we made these changes--for the people who ordered from shoutfactory.com and received early copies, replacement discs will be issued.Rock! Shock! Pop!

Shit, this was a deal when it was around $80 for the first pre-order but I'm balking at the current pre-order price of $110. The lucky ones who pre-ordered at the $80 price will still get that price honored by Amazon but think I'll pass until I accumulate enough Rewards points or snag a couple gift cards to get the price down to around $70.

This seems to be the general opinion over there...
t's great that we now have genuine HD masters, it's the least we deserve.
A shame then that the HD masters for FIST and WAY aren't that great, but that's not Shout's fault, it's Fortune Star's.
Shout are at fault, however, for not employing colour correction (Fortune Star's teal push is exaggerated). Why spend so much time getting everything right and then cut a significant corner just to meet an arbitrary deadline (release date).

dvdbeaver likes what he sees:

individual reviews for each title are also up.
Seems like they worked out all all the problems.
Maybe this will be worth getting after all, when the price comes down."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

"It's come to our attention that on the "Fist of Fury" Blu-ray disc the mono Mandarin audio track is not accessible. We regret this oversight. If you would like a replacement disc, please send an email to info@shoutfactory.com with "Bruce Lee Fist of Fury Replacement" in the subject line, and one will be mailed to you in 3 to 4 weeks."Rock! Shock! Pop!
