Are you kidding me, how far behind the bandwagon am I. I didnt even know that they were on DVD. BAD FAN!, BAD! I just remember the DVD with two episodes coming out and passing until they had an actual DVD worth buying.
Really excited to get Cave Dwellers and Pod People on DVD. Just pre-ordered this, glad to have Rhino coming out with Vol. 2 so reasonably soon after Vol. 1. Keep them coming!
This is from the Satellite news website. They are doing a Volume 3 as well. Great news for MST3K fans. I am still waiting for Gamera vs. Megalon though.
RHINO UPDATE Our sources at Rhino Home Video tell us the second MST3K boxed set is still on track for a February 11 release. The DVDs slated to be on The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection - Vol. 2 contain:
Episode 301- CAVE DWELLERS Episode 303- POD PEOPLE Episode 622- ANGELS' REVENGE MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER: THE SHORTS, VOLUME 1 (featuring The Home Economics Story, Junior Rodeo Daredevils, Body Care & Grooming, Cheating, A Date With Your Family, Why Study Industrial Arts? and Chicken of Tomorrow) Looking further into the dim future, boxed set #3 will tentatively contain:
Episode 202- THE SIDEHACKERS Episode 320- THE UNEARTHLY (with shorts: Posture Pals and Appreciating Our Parents) Episode 518- THE ATOMIC BRAIN (with short: What About Juvenile Delinquency?) MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER: THE SHORTS, VOLUME 2 (featuring Catching Trouble, What To Do On A Date, Last Clear Chance, A Day At The Fair, Keeping Clean & Neat and The Days of Our Years) This set is tentatively set to hit video stores April 8.
All this could change, of course, and if it does, we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
Yeah, I just ordered both box sets earlier this week. The Best Buy near me did have Volume 1, but someone bought it, which suprised me. Asked an employee about the sets and they didn't have any and I guess weren't planning to get any in either. Neither did their bigger store in Fargo, which I can usually find anything at.
I just got Vol. 1 & 2 last week and the packaging is definitely unique.
Both Vol. 1 & 2 have a rotating wheel where you can change the graphic to another one of the 4 movies. I also like the fact that there's a little pull tab to make the blimp go side to side
I ordered mine from Overstock. I think it was around $37 shipped. I hit the usual local retailers before placing my order, and I didn't spot any copies on the shelves.
Cool- but I have been disappointed my which episodes they choose to release on DVD... I really wish they would release like Space Mutany (MST episode) on DVD.
Rhino and MST3KInfo.com held a poll a couple years ago where fans could vote on their favorite episodes. The results are online at http://www.mst3kinfo.com/dvd.html
Rhino didn't seem to take them into any great consideration, and we've obviously yet to see any episodes that haven't already been released on VHS. Hopefully the results of the poll will be taken into account if/when Rhino decides to release DVDs beyond the sets already released/slated for release.
