Hey, that thread title should be more specific, I feel like some people might not catch it.
Seriously, thanks a lot. But something like "Exclusive web-only MST3k disc" might get the appropriate attention better.

Thanks for the post.
http://www.mst3kinfo.com/ lists the shorts:
This collection, never before on DVD, includes: Speech--Using Your Voice (from episode 313- EARTH VS. THE SPIDER), Aquatic Wizards (from episode 315- TEENAGE CAVEMAN), Is This Love? (from episode 514- TEENAGE STRANGLER), Design for Dreaming (from episode 524- 12 TO THE MOON), The Selling Wizard (from episode 603- THE DEAD TALK BACK), Out of this World (from episode 618- HIGH SCHOOL BIGSHOT) and Once Upon A Honeymoon (from episode 701- NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST).
They also have a latenight tv commercial for download.
I'd like the shorts more than the Santa, but I already have Manos. I think I'm going to pass on this - at least temporarily.

So I'd guess no, but you never know.
Once the set is released, it'll probably turn up on E-bay anyway.

So they're reliable, huh? That makes me feel a bit better then. I'll still have to ponder the purchase, tho.
Oh, if it wasnt for that acursed "Manos"! Why, Rhino, Why!

As rabid an MST3K fan as I am, it's kind of hard to want to spend $30 on this considering that (1) I already have one of the DVDs, (2) if I buy it anywhere else, I'll pay half the price, (3) I'll only ever watch the Shorts DVD once, and (4) the Shorts DVD will probably be made available in some other form down the road.

I ordered it. The Poopie reel is on the new essentials set so I'm going to sell my current Manos DVD. Its not too bad of a hit and having Shorts vol 3 is nice. I like watching the shorts over and over.

I think some of the shorts are more enjoyable than the feature films. This is definitely a tempting deal. I'm sure I can find some family member that wouldn't mind having my current Manos disk.

It might be interesting. But it's about $10 for the shorts collection. I am not sure but I might not get enough out of it to be worth it. It's already too much for the one show....but what are the chances it will be rereleased later on in a big set?

Here it is at Videouniverse for a bit less
http://www.cduniverse.com/productinf...cart=198740935
Think I am gonna grab it
Darghhh! I missed the "extra shorts disc" detail
this is tempting but a little pricey compared to the other sets

Cool. I never did pick up Manos, so this was an easy purchase.
I would love to see a complete collecion of the shorts, including the Commando Cody serial from season one.

He's right. There are plenty of places that offer the Essentials. Cheaper too. But the extra DVD is only offered at the site above.
I wish the collections were released on a more regular basis. I miss MST3k. Especially on weekeneds. For some reason it's the perfect show to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Anyone know if these are shipping now if ordered from the link above (similar to the Kids in the Hall set that shipped before the street date if you ordered from the website), or if it is going to be released the same day as the 2-disc set?
I'm going to order it anyway, but just curious.
Also, thanks to the original poster. Otherwise I wouldn't have know about this and ordered the regular set, without the bonus disc.
