I don't know if this is where to post topics of this nature, but I see you guys talking about the new 20th Anniversary DVD set here, so why not.
Is there any online store or trading post where I might be able to acquire a copy of the MST3K Shorts Volume 3 DVD, only available through special web order of MST3K - The Essentials? I really want to round off my collection, and that is all I need (along with Godzilla vs. Megalon, for I was a bit too late in getting Collection 10, but that's another request for another time).
So yes, a copy of Shorts Volume 3, either through online store, online trade, or online piracy. If it's the last one, it had better include the menus and not just the shorts. Other than that, please don't hurt me for mentioning the word "piracy". Danke.

I got my copy of Shorts Volume 3 with the MST3K Essentials set. (It made up for my second copy of Manos!)

I've only seen it for sale as an old VHS or a homemade DVD (as the disc is out of print), never as a separate retail disc.

Chuck, know anything about ripping DVDs and using torrents? If not, forget I asked.
Hygiene, I know it's not a separate retail disc, otherwise I wouldn't be asking. I checked at my library, and they have it as a VHS.
CBG, I don't know who you're talking about, but I'm already scared.

You can still rent Godzilla vs. Megalon from NetFlix, so that would be an easy way to get a copy of the Rhino release.

It only recently stopped being legitimately available through tvatlas.com, that didn't stop people lamely pirating it pretending it was out of print of course. Actually I wonder if tvatlas dropping it coincided with rhino losing the contract to shout!factory.

I received my copy of Shorts Volume 3 in an eBay auction of the Essentials set. Lucky me, it wasn't even mentioned in the item description! So when it arrived at my house, I opened up the case and found it sitting inside!
It must be like how oyster divers feel when they find a pearl.

I appreciate the thought but I don't offer this at all as I don't offer copies of any commercial discs, even when OOP. I've had a couple folks asking.

Bummer. So, once a commercial DVD hits the streets, there's no way to get it again, even if it's OOP? I didn't know that. I figured once they were commercially unavailable, they could be offered again in fan trading. Does that give us incentive to buy them as they come out? What about quality? What if the commercial disc sucks? I guess I'd better hang on to those SP VHSes a little longer.

I might give that a shot.

Sky, I didn't mean to imply that you should remedy the situation. I was more impressed by the fact that I didn't know this about OOP Experiments. I just always figured that if I couldn't get it retail, and the disc became OOP, that I would eventually get it from you or another trader.

If so do you remember the screenname of the seller you bought it from? I've been looking to try to get a copy of The Essentials with Shorts Vol. 3 for awhile with no luck.

How come my Essentials DVD didn't have Shorts 3? It had the Poopie reel, but that was it.
