I think what helped fuel the "Sandy Frank hates MST3K" rumors is the fact that there's been horror stories from people who have worked with him in real life talking about what an egotistic backstabber he can be. One person saying that Sandy would, "throw his mother in front of a moving train if he knew he could make money off of it." I'd like to see those sources as well.

Thanks for the link, davidbeegah. I'm in too. Hard to go wrong with a pre-order from Amazon.

I'm glad they're using green again, goes well with the "alien" theme. THe last time they used green was volume 14.

Although this is a different shade of green than XIV.

Wonder if Shout will have another give away with a pre order? I got a stress ball with the last order.

Quoting the press release here for posterity:
So the bonuses are: • introductions by Japanese cinema historian August Ragone • You Asked For It: Sandy Frank Speaks! • MST Hour Wraps • Life After MST3K: Frank Conniff • MST3K Shorts: Snow Thrills & A Date With Your Family • Lucha Gringo: K. Gordon Murray Meets Santo • four exclusive Mini-Posters by artist Steve Vance
I'll admit, the inclusion of those shorts worry me, because they make it seem that Shout probably considers their full episodes to be unattainable. So Invasion U.S.A. and It Conquered The World might not see release any time soon?

So Invasion U.S.A. and It Conquered The World might not see release any time soon? Yeah, that's probably what that means. That's kind of discouraging. I for one am not a huge fan of JUST watching shorts. I prefer to take in the whole episode (short + feature). . .otherwise it's just wrong, somehow.

Another possibility is that they didn't have any The Sword And The Dragon features so they slapped on two easy to attain shorts. I'm hoping thats the case.

Well if they got the rights to "It conquered the world" would the shorts then be repeats? I doubt it. I consider those rights lost.

People have been pestering shout for some extra shorts, so it might just be that. Plus, it pads the extras. It doesn't necessarily mean that those two episodes are out of Shout Factory's reach, so lets not worry about that until we have to.

Didn't Rhino include bonus shorts with some of their boxsets as well? I don't think that has halted any full episode releases since then. The way I see it, it's more MST3K for your buck, which means it's a good thing. Anyway, looks like a solid set of episodes. Will definitely buy this one.
Also: SANDY FRAAAANK!
