I think the first two revival seasons pale in comparison to the original run, for many of the reasons others have given here.
However! MST3K was a beacon of light during a rather unpleasant period of my life and therefore, I feel they deserve not only my gratitude but also my support whenever they ask for it.

Early 2015 at 36 years of age, and BOY, did MST3K help me through an unpleasant divorce.

GodzFire, the Summer Blockbuster Reviews and Award Specials are out on DVD. The first 1000 or 1500 people who ordered volumes 36 and 37 directly from Shout got them on bonus discs.

Sure.
The best: ALL of them.
But! I'm partial to TV's Frank and black-and-white movies. So I guess seasons 1-6 and the first half of 8 have a slight personal edge over the rest.

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere...
I listen to Trace and Frank's podcast Movie Sign with the Mads (and so should you if you're not already doing so - it's a great podcast) and a couple of times they made statements along the lines of: "It's kind of strange when a franchise gets rebooted and the original cast and creators do not get asked to participate."
Now, they never explicitly state that Joel did not approach them to be a part of seasons 11 onward. They just mention this on the side when talking about other films, but from the *wink-wink* tone of these comments it's still rather obvious that this is what they're implying.
Makes my kind of sad. Any thoughts?

As for the "one's five years old or less" and "one's a long-time request" teases... I'm thinking Sharknado and Plan 9. I really hope it's not Sharknado. MST3K has been doing genuinely cheesy movies for the past 30 years and stayed clear of those that are intentionally bad, meta, winking at the audience. You know, Samurai Cop as opposed to Samurai Cop 2.

The chances are still slim, I'm afraid. Of the last fifty sets to reach the review stage, only five were actually approved. The two that came closest to the MST3K set in terms of target audience were the RV from Spaceballs and a Red Dwarf set. Those didn't make the cut...

Woah, is it just me or is the black level on Prince of Space WAY off?

My DVD of Eegah is a bit buggy, so I might get this. So is mine. There's this mode where you see Crow's head during the movie, hit a button on your remote and see what's been cut out of the original Eegah. It can be turned off in the menu, but it keeps turning itself back on...

So has any international backer received their Blu-ray set yet? Still waiting on mine...

Weren't we supposed to receive a new VHX code through BackerKit yesterday? To prepare for Sunday's stream?

My shirt and card arrived yesterday - after only four days of shipping. No customs fees. Excellent! I'm wearing the heck out of my new shirt today.

Last night, I received my shipping notice from Blackbox for the shirt and postcard set.
I'm a European backer and it heartens me to see that the sum total of the shipment is £0.00, as in British Pound, as in this ships from the European Union (well, as long as we're pre-implemented Brexit), as in I'll get it quicker and won't have to pay any customs fees.
Can anybody confirm this?

That's regrettable, but Volume 11 is still available at Amazon at $39.99 if you want to replace the set. The actual Amazon, not third-party scalpers.
