I'm excited for the set, it's a good batch of episodes (no real surprises, all but one were "Likely to Extremely Likely" on my list), and the extras sound great! Especially the Crow figure, can't wait to see what it looks like. It'll go nice with my real Crow. ;D As for fan complaining, I'm sure Shout tried to get THE CRAWLING EYE, SOULTAKER and/or DANGER DIABOLIK. They may have been too expensive or not available to them at all (see my Likelihood List). At least they managed to snag LASERBLAST. I wonder if we'll find out about the episodes in the next volume sooner, since they were working on securing them at the same time. I'm always excited about a new set of MST eps, but I was blown the hell away that First Spaceship on Venus is included, especially after studying your list for the past year. BTW - you ought to put a link in your signature to your list in Ward E: www.mst3kinfo.com/ward_e/listlikely.htmlIt's got such valuable information and it's always interesting to read.

The Crow looks a lot like the statue made years back; I wonder if it's the same mold? But made out of plastic instead.

And I have to send an update to Satellite News soon.

Or maybe it's a featurette (with interviewers from the cast) More interviews? Sheesh

Let's not discount the possibility that Shout! is capable of purchasing Unlikely's but cost concerns prevent them from including several in the same DVD set.
Maybe the business model for future DVD set releases will look something like this: one Not Likely/Extremely Unlikely for every three Possibles/Likely's released. That way, they can please the fans while still making the package affordable.
Travis, that sound about right to you?

I'm sure Shout will attempt this on future sets.

I love this set: the episodes, the artwork(s), the figurine, everything is good. It's well worth my $$.
However, you'd think that Shout Factory's own website would have this release highlighted (or at least easier to find), ya know?

While I'm not a huge fan of the eps themselves in this set, the packaging is top notch. Love the lobby cards. Thanks for the closeup shots Samtaco. They really have a fun B-movie vibe to them, like all the fun cheapo dvd's you see at places like Half Price Books.
Kudos to the folks at Shout for putting together such a great looking set.

Here's better looking picture of 3 of the lobby cards: I couldn't get Werewolf cause of the crappy MP4 video. Hahaha! Those are pretty awsome. This is turning out to be something I'm really looking forward to.

Well, I like the episodes, i would've preferred another Joel ep., but I LOVE Future War, and FSOV I have not seen the other two . But, with two episode I know are great along with nifty packaging, and cool extras, this will be at the top of my shopping list.

Those cards are awesome. I wish they'd sell them separately from the set.

I love those cards. I wouldn't mind the next set's cover art to be something like that.

I thought those were the covers of the DVD cases.
