These totally look like pressed DVD's.  I know what earlier TCM Vault Collection discs and Warner Archive discs look like (the same), and these are not them.

I kinda expected some Robert Osborne intros on these, since they mentioned it in the press release, but I guess that will be on some future releases.  Still, the picture looks excellent on the two films I've watched so far.

Sounds like Universal is taking the time to do their vault collection properly... I've just placed my order!  :)

I wonder if they pressed an initial batch, and once it runs out they MOD the rest?  That probably doesn't make any sense.

They could have aranged to press small batches on demand as needed - it's not totally far feched - once you have the master you can press as many dvds as you need :)

Just got my set and it's everything I could have wanted.  Great looking transfers, at least some extras and pressed discs.  I'm not sure what exactly they mean by MOD discs for this program, but the discs I received are most definitely pressed.  Perhaps they originally pressed this first title and then had a change of strategy to create the MOD program.  It wouldn't surprise me if future entries in the program are burned, but this Universal Horror set is worth it if you're a fan of the genre.
