You can send your copy back for a full refund if you're not happy, but everyone is assuming a recall won't happen due to the fact that TT is a very small operation. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens, I received my copy yesterday but haven't checked it out yet.

Yeah I've been trying to keep up with the developments on this for the past couple days. Should hear back from Sony some time this week on what will happen. Looking at the screen captures its pretty drastic. There is a blue hue to most of the film and it's incredibly dark. Hard to tell if its a problem with the color timing or intentional tinkering by Sony. I think we'll see this repressed and replacement discs offered when all is said and done. I'm going to wait to open my copy until this is sorted.

I've been casually keeping an eye on it as well. Yesterday people were making comments that made it seem doubtful there would be a reissue. I think it really depends on who is to blame for this, and even then Sony can just turn around and say "that's how we wanted it to look". Guess we'll have to wait and see, although it really shouldn't take this long for someone to take a look at it and say "yep, that's right" or "nope, that's wrong". And given the size of the release and the fact that it's not Sony releasing it directly, I've got a bad feeling about this. Oops, wrong movie.

Yeah we could be screwed. Which would suck considering this film can't be re-released for 3 years. Couple that with the fact that Sony didn't believe in the title in the first place (hence TT getting it) we'll probably never see another Blu-ray release.
On the plus side these are already selling for double retail on the secondary market so worst case scenario you can flip it to recoup costs and even make a few bucks to put towards something else should you choose.

Well, if they don't re-issue it I have a feeling Sony will re-master and do an actual release once the 3 years are up. They've already proven they can move 3,000 units, and when you add to that the fact that it was a lousy transfer originally, I think all they would need to do is throw one or two "special" features on it and there's your mainstream re-release. People who bought this one and weren't happy will re-buy, while the ones who don't want to pay through the nose on ebay will have their chance as well.
But the fact that we can flip these regardless is a nice option to have.

Looks like it is what it is according to TT:
UPDATE: As promised, we have discussed NOTLD at the studio and are able to verify via SPE's Mastering Department, that our Blu-ray is indeed the approved transfer from 2010, generated for the film's 20th anniversary, and done in consultation with the film's director of photography. As you will have also seen on this page and elsewhere on the internet, director Tom Savini has now had a chance to view the end product and declared it "fantastic."
As we are aware that some fans of the film will remain disappointed, our offer of a full refund still stands if you wish to return your copy. However, we would caution you with this thought: this is a limited edition run of 3,000 copies, and the title is sold out. Right or wrong, it is a collector's item, and there are no guarantees this title will ever be repressed. Going forward, if TT encounters another situation where the new transfer differs greatly from the old, we will bring that to collectors' attention prior to the disc being offered so that you may know of the changes beforehand. Thanks for all your support.
Best,
Nick Redman and Brian Jamieson.

Well I guess there you go then.
I'll probably be viewing my copy in the next week or so as part of my Halloween movie marathon and will reserve personal judgment on the PQ until afterwards. I'm hoping it looks good enough to keep.

It seems like opinions vary on the PQ. Some are reporting it's different, but not bad, while others don't want to accept the changes made. I'm not a die hard fan of the film so I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll watch it, and make up my own mind after I've seen it.
