I thought so too at first, but everyone's been saying they're the cards....
maybe they are the covers to thinpack cases the episodes come in.

I thought those were the covers of the DVD cases. Well, whatever they are, they're awesome. Somebody called them lobby cards earlier so I assumed they were actual cards.

They're Lobby Cards.

"Lobby Cards are 11x14 colour photos from the film, usually with a decorative border. They originally came in sets of 8, with the Title Card quite often being a miniature poster. "

I'm not really excited about the episodes. I too would have loved to see another Joel in the set. But the packaging is incredible.

I'm really excited about this set! ;D
It's been too long since I've seen "Werewolf" (since SCI.FI was still airing MST3K) so my memory's pretty hazy on it. But it's obviously a popular episode and I've been waiting for it to be released on DVD (while fighting the urge to order it from Sky, since Travis had it under the 'Likely' category).
"Future War" is a favorite of mine. ;D
"Laserblast" is a solid episode that's grown on me. And as others have said, it's great to finally have a season seven episode released!
I haven't seen "First Spaceship on Venus"...so I'm really looking forward to it.
Factor-in some nice extras and great packaging...and I think this will easily be one of the better MST3K DVD collections.

Trace and Mary Jo were the sum total of the Mads in Season 7 - Torgo the White took Frank beyond the rim at the end of season 6.

Hopefully there will be more of Season 7 released as every episode is at least very good, with some hitting classic status. It's a travesty that this is the first time a Season 7 episode has been put out.

I have no experience putting DVDs together so this might be a stupid question. If they released Night of the Blood Beast, how possible would it be to include both versions of the episode? Since the movie segments are unchanged, would it be possible at the menu to pick regular or Turkey Day, and have the DVD jump to the right host segments during the episode? Or would they have to just include one set of hosts as a bonus?

"Seamless branching" (which is what you're describing when you talk about the episode jumping to alternate host segments) on DVD's is extremely common, and would be easy to accomplish for that purpose on Night of the Blood Beast.
They could also just cram both full versions of the episode onto one DVD. Kinda unnecessary, and wasteful of DVD space, but it would get the job done.

A recent example of that seamless branching is in the big 5-disc Blade Runner set. the disc with the original theatrical cut also features the Euro version with a few extra seconds so instead of putting the two it's just the one version with it branching to the various bits. Walk Hard's the same.

Thanks, sounds like something they could/should do if they ever release that episode.

So I assume quite a few of you have pre-ordered this on Amazon by now (ordered mine in July), but I checked my status today and it's saying they won't ship it until November 3rd! Considering it comes out October 28th, it makes me sad that I'll have to wait extra time for them to ship it along with the regular agonizing wait for it's arrival at my doorstep! Does it say this for anyone else, or is it just because I pre-ordered it late?

Queenie, it says on mine that the shipping estimate is October 28. You're scheduled for the following Monday. I don't know what they go by when they estimate shipping dates, other than availability.
