MST3K: Volume 9 waves bye-bye....for now. (1 Viewer)

[Radioman970]

I was checking Rhino.com's MST3K catalogue and noticed Vol 9 was missing. I wrote the guy at mst3k.com and he confirmed that it was a goner for now. He did say Rhino was going to try to get it back.

These are still widely available for around $45. Although amazon.com is sold out I noticed many places still have it in stock.



It's a damn good set with equal parts Joel and Mike. Don't miss out!!

Vol 9:
Women of the Prehistoric Planet
Wild Rebels
Sinister Urge
Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became *rests fingers for a second* Mixed up Zombies

Thanks for letting us know about this! Vol. 9 is one of the sets that I haven't picked up yet, so I'm going to try to buy one in the next couple days. Thanks again for the heads up.

I wonder which movie is the licensing problem this time?

 

[TravisR]

It's probably not a licensing problem as much as they only had the license for a certain period of time.

 

[Radioman970]

More than happy to do it! I feel it was my duty to make this public and.....

well, I have to confess I only posted after I was sure one was on it's way to me in the mail. I waited too.

deepdiscount.com still has them in stock for about $35.


I have 3 more to buy, Vol 6 thru 8. Plus 11 when it comes out. I'm most excited about 7. I love every one of those. Prince of Space is just fantastic!

 

[Corey3rd]

so now #9 & #10 are OOP. Any other sets vanishing from the series?

 

[Beau]

I thought I read some months ago that Vols 1 and 3 were going to be going out of print, but amazon still has them available. Did that turn out to be false? Right now the only ones I need are 7 & 8. I'll try to get those really soon, just in case.

 

[TravisR]

So how many people are going to pick MST3K Volume 11 as soon as it's released? Since I almost missed Volume 10, I know I won't be waiting.

 

[Tim Tucker]

You're correct. Here the blurb from Satellite News:

 

[Roni F]

I'm pretty sure that the individual release of Beginning of the End is OOP as well.

 

[Radioman970]

I'm hoping I can just buy all the ones I'm missing some time before summer and then start sleeping better at night.

I figure rifftrax will never go oop.

 

[Nigel McN]

Damn straight!

I have 1-10, and you can bet I will be getting Volume 11 as soon as it's out.

 

[Radioman970]

You know, I'm soooo out of money after all the sales from Sony, Anchor Bay and Buena Vista, but I'll be damned if ordering Vol 9 didnt' make me feel soooo good! I can't wait to have 1-11!

 

[TravisR]

I almost missed Volume 10. It came out on the same day as a number of other discs that I was buying so I waited and then I figured that I'd just hold off until the DDD sale (like the cheapskate that I am ) but I won't be waiting when Volume 11 comes out.

When I read that V10 was being pulled, I went directly to Best Buy and grabbed one.

 

[SilverWook]

All the remaining copies I saw locally vanished pretty fast once word got out. I fear more Ebay sellers than fans got the remaining stock. :frowning:

 

[Radioman970]

Christmas Eve I walked into F.Y.E. at the mall and there was 1 MST3K there placed on the shelf on edge like a book. Turned it around, saw the dino and knew it was Vol 10. I thought I was seeing things. I stood there for about a half minute looking it over. My dad was waiting just outside the door and I screamed "they have it! This is it!". He groaned and walked away. The old fart has no appreciation for the finer things! He'd waste the $59.99+tax on something like electicity or gas for the car. What an old fool!

I'm very glad I was able to get Vol 9 for $36 instead of $63.

 

[Sean Aaron]

I played catch-up between vols. 2-7 over cost, but that was years ago. I've been buying them on release (even if I have to switch R1 DVD source) ever since.

I'm really hoping they can pick up the pace, but I imagine clearing some of these films can be difficult considering the ludicrous amount of time Copyright has been extended to _and_ backdated.

 

[Radioman970]

I know Sandy Frank, the dude who did a lot of those great Japanese dubs, had a big problem with the show. Those will probably never see an official release.

 

[SilverWook]

I wonder if Sandy Frank even holds any rights to the Gamera movies anymore?
http://www.sandyfrankentertainment.com/His company seems to only be into gameshows now.

 

[Radioman970]

I was thinking the same thing at one point. But then a forum poster ruined it by smartly reminding us that Frank would own the rights to the audio track.

Of course, it'd be a trip if everybody would come back and redo everything. New dub for the movie and new dubs for all the MST3K riffs!
