Hope the DVD sets aren't too expensive. I don't want to pay $74.99 for one set again. (Volume 6, bah!)

QUESTION: Anyone know if this new set from Shout! is officially VOLUME 13, or some new Volume 1 type set?

I don't understand the repeated requests by some "fans" to have Shout Factory reissue sets done already by Rhino for episodes that are still currently available. Pooh on that, most fans want episodes never before released to be done by Shout Factory. The only exception to this might be episodes that are out of print so that people who missed those can get them.

In response to one post above, I'm happy to say I've never paid anything near $74.99 for a single set. I've always pre-ordered my sets from Amazon or DeepDiscount as soon as they became available and they've always been far less than the list price which up till now has been about $59.95 from Rhino.

One person's favorite episode is another person's take-it-or-leave-it. While I wouldn't snub any new MST3K release, there are probably at least 50 hilarious classics episodes I'd like to see released before Final Sacrifice. How about Lost Continent, The Day The Earth Froze, Rocket Attack USA, First Spaceship On Venus, Fugitive Alien, Outlaw (of Gor), Beast of Yucca Flats, Bride of the Monster, Robot Monster, Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy, Jungle Goddess, Rocketship X-M, Magic Voyage of Sinbad, Earth vs. The Spider, The Amazing Colossal Man (and the sequel), Gamera (any and all of them) and on and on.

AAAAHHHHHHHHH.....NO POLLS!!!!!!

Didn't you ever notice when Rhino did their polls on the Satellite News website, the next release almost always had the titles that came in last...

Probably because the owners of the rights of these movies have computers too...and when they saw how much the fans wanted the episode with their movie the price immediately skyrocketed?

If that were true than we never would have gotten Clonus, Strange cratures, Giant spider invasion, or Monster a go-go released.

And besides how would the films copyright owners even know about the poll? Do they just view mst3k.com every 15 minutes just to know about the popularity of the films?

SCTV, Wierd al show, Super mario brothers super show I seem to remember those not having thin packs. The reason i don't like it is because when there next to the Rhino DVDS Its gonna look like a Cheep alternative compared to the Rhino DVDS. People are gonna see it and go, Gee I wonder why the quality of this dvd is so much lower than one that was released before it?

I prefer the idea of thinpack DVD cases then how Rhino did the boxsets, I'm not very fond of foldout cardboard boxsets. Plus thinpacks can allow for the episodes to be placed in order, so while they'll seem kinda out of place with Rhino's singles, they'll still go in order unlike the Rhino sets.

Someone out there please tell me that this is a fake. Cause i'm NOT paying 70 dollars for a bunch of thin packs of mst3k.

How many MSTies missed out on buying Volumes 9 and 10 because they decided to wait to buy for various reasons? If you want to be sure of getting every commercial MST3K DVD release, it's best to pre-order them before release. Amazon provides excellent discounts on many items they sell, including MST3K DVD sets, occasionally they are cheaper than DeepDiscount. I've ordered all of my Rhino 4-disc sets from one of these two sellers and have had worthwhile to significant discounts on all of them. More importantly, I've got every set, even those that were yanked off the market shortly after release. I'm waiting to see what DeepDiscount is charging before I order so I can compare the DeepDiscount price to Amazon's, but I'll definitely order before the October release date to ensure I get a copy. Service from Amazon and DeepDiscount as well as a few other Internet vendors like Buy.com is for the most part terrific.

Amazon not a discounter? I regularly order items from Amazon with discounts often as high as 20%, 25% and even 37%, sometimes even more. Amazon doesn't discount every item they sell, especially those that are relatively low in price to begin with or items on which they may be prohibited from providing a discount for some reason, but they discount a huge amount of their merchandise, especially those items with high mark-ups in list price over the price at which Amazon obtains them. Where possible, Amazon offers terrific discounts and in my experience, service is usually excellent.
