Mystery Science Theatre Vol. 7 due out in April.
From: http://www.mst3kinfo.com/
VOLUME 7 DUE IN APRIL
Right before the holidays hit, we heard internet reports that Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Volume 7 was due to hit stores in March. There was never any doubt that Volume 7 was coming, but now that all the VHS episodes are on DVD, Rhino is pretty much going episode by episode, dealing with the same old movie rights issue that has been the bane of this show for so long. We don't have titles yet, but we can say that Volume 7 is tentatively due in stores in April. Stay tuned!

As with Rhino's recent box sets I'm betting they will balance it between movies they have to pay for rights to and something they don't. To keep the cost of the box sets down I doubt they could put in four films that they had to pay film rights for.
Granted I have no idea whats left in the MST3K catalog that is public domain, but I won't be surprised if one of the discs is the scrapbook tape or something else cheap to license.
That said I will take anything I can get on DVD, so bring it on Rhino. [fingers crossed for Comedy Central episodes though)

I'd love for them to release the Scrapbook tape on DVD. I've only seen terrible copies of it from offline and it'd be a nice addition, for sure.

PRINCE OF SPACE is one of their best episodes.
This is great!

Of the 2 I think "Prince" is better, but that's a matter of personal taste. "Neptune Men" was memorable in that it featured a visit from Krankor, the villain from "Prince."

Update about getting the 4th disc replaced.
THE WHOLE "KILLER SHREWS" MISSING SECTION STORY
Almost since the day that the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Volume 7 DVD set from Rhino Home Video was released about a month ago, internet reports have been circulating that the version of episode 407- THE KILLER SHREWS (with short: JUNIOR RODEO DAREDEVILS) included with the set was slightly edited. Sharp-eyed MSTies (are there any other kind?) noticed that about 50 seconds of movie and riffing, just as the movie begins and before the actual title of the film appears (during which the narration sets up the whole "killer shrews" premise), was not included.
Rhino has come clean and admitted the goof, extends it apologies, and has set up a system whereby you can get a replacement for that disc.
Send an email to [email protected]. In the email, tell them you would like a replacement disc for Volume 7, Disc 4 of the "MST3K Collection" and DON'T FORGET to give them your name and full mailing address. DO NOT email Barb at Best Brains about this, even if you purchased it through the Info Club. Get your replacement directly from Rhino.
Also, thanks to the many many many many people who emailed us about this, and apologies for the lag from the time that you informed us about this and our announcement now. Rhino asked us to hold off until they got the replacement discs in stock, which they now do.

For those of you waiting to receive your KILLER SHREWS replacement discs, here's the latest.
Yes, Rhino is now owned by a huge conglomerate, but they are still a pretty small operation. The team working on this replacement issue is not huge, and they have been working to pull together the list of people who need a disc. Actual mailing is slated to begin soon.
When you emailed Dr. Rhino, you should have received some sort of an email in response. If you did, be assured that you are on that list, and will probably receive your disc shortly.
If, for some reason, when you emailed them, you did NOT receive any sort of email reply, please send another email, containing your name and full street address, to [email protected]. Indicate (nicely) that this is the second email you have sent. You should receive an email reply. If you don't, check your spam filters, etc. to make sure you are receiving email correctly.
Rhino wants to thank everybody once again for their patience during this long, involved process.

Received my replacement disc yesterday and they did fix the missing section. They also made the chapter breaks make more sense than they did on the original release for what that is worth.
Not sure why it took this long for them to finally release the replacement, but I'm happy to finally get it. They also included a Rhino sticker in the package.
Considering how hard it is to get major studios to admit to mistakes and fix them Rhino made this pretty easy since you didn't have to send them the old disc or anything. for finally having the Killer Shrews complete.

Anybody else get their replacement yet? I'm just wondering because as the notice said I should have gotten a reply to my email. I tried emailing again and still didn't get a reply. Is this just taking them a really long time?
I feel impatient, but it has been like 7 months.

I also have not received my replacement disc. I emailed in May and again in October. They replied in Oct saying that they were sending them out, but I did not get one yet.

Hey, I got a response.
Dear MST3K Fan,
We are in the process of sending out these replacement discs. It is taking longer than anticipated due to the high volume of requests and small amount of manpower that is available to remedy the issue. However, we are currently doubling our efforts in attempt to resolve this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
We will send a replacement disc to everyone who has requested one.
Dr. Rhino
