Well, color me pleasantly surprised. I had braced myself to pay $15-20 after shipping... so a grand total of $11.44 was unexpected. Pre-ordered!
I think that whenever it arrives, I'll just slide the sleeve and DVD into my 10.1 box set... and make my own 5-episode set.

I've been thinking. All of the sets and props were sold off after the show ended. It doesn't seem likely that any of the guys have much, if any, of the old parts. It's possible that they might have an old Crow or Servo. But as far as Joel and the guys physically "returning to the Satellite of Love" or the Mads to Deep 13--it simply doesn't seem possible. While Trace is extremely talented and all, even he can't rebuild both sets from scratch! So now it seems to me that the Wired blogger was exaggerating or speaking metaphorically, or plain wrong. Not that the setting matters terribly to me. It's just great to have the guys together again.

I could be wrong, but I'm suspecting the new sketch will be done like Cinematic Titanic. Totally in silhouette.
Sets, costuming, makeup, and age related differences from the 1990s to late 2000s are easy to affect when you can only see a shadow.

I pre-ordered my copy, and I chose rush shipping for $11.99. I didn't want to end up with them using something like 4th class mail and waiting 6 weeks.

Pre-ordered mine! I don't care what the wait's like, as long as I get it. This being the last Rhino release, it's kind of bittersweet. Sure, they may have made some crummy moves in the past, but with the plethora of extras that are on this disk (Joel, Trace, Josh, and Frank IN CHARACTER!), it looks like they saved the best for last.

I wondered if maybe they'd just chroma key in the SOL and Deep 13 back drops. Not ideal, but it's a lot easier and cheaper than trying to rebuild the sets for a sketch that's only a few minutes long.

Pre-ordered mine too. Knowing Rhino I can imagine it quickly going OOP.

Pre-ordered mines as well only $7.95 shipping so the whole thing together is still only about £8. Now to just wait, for some reason stuff from Amazon etc takes longer than stuff posted by normal members of the public when coming from the States!

Wait, you can pre-order?

I keep getting an error when I try to authorize my card. It won't let me order. WTF?

Looks like the release date was pushed back a few days to 2/11. Oh well, better late than never.
Speculation on my part: Delaying due to higher than expected pre-order numbers? Maybe not... just guessing. :-)
