Eventually, what was the reason for Volume 9 to go OOP?

Bumping this question, I'm curious too, as it is the only collection that I didn't buy on release (Doh!).

The only answers I ever heard involved with the time Rhino held the rights to license the titles.

Said goes for Volumes 1 and 3.

And it's the one I want most, since it contains an Ed Wood film as well as the legendary Incredibly Strange Creatures. I've had a fascination for the latter ever since I read Lester Bangs' review of it years ago.

Re: MST3K Collections: Vol 1, 3 and 10 going OOP...

Vols 9 and 10 sell in the $200 range on Amazon now.

Vols 7 and 8 are sneaking in that direction and are selling in the $70-$100 range now.

Looks like Vol 4 will be moving into the pricey range soon too.

Its nice Shout! kept up with similar packaging and numbering, it probably helps support demand for the older Rhino sets.

I'll never sell mine, but its cool to see them being valued by others.

Seems like there'll be many missing volumes on my shelf!

I got all the sets so far, even vol. 10 when it came out.(and the Gila Monster single Rhino released) I think Shout! is doing a great job with their sets...my only complaint is that they need to put the episode # somewhere on the back cover of the dvd case.


I have a feeling all the Rhino sets will be increasing in price once stores sell off their inventory, since they are all technically OOP.

The only sets available on Rhino's site are:

Vol. 3
Vol. 12

The Rhino sets for which Amazon no longer has stock and which you have to buy through a 3rd-party are:

Vol. 4
Vol. 7
Vol. 8
Vol. 9
Vol. 10

If someone were to acquire Vols. 7, 8, 9 and 10 through Amazon, the price tag would be a little less than $600.00!

Wow I have all of the original release box sets including the original Season 10, but I can't sell them. I think I'd have to be a lot worse off to do it.

Yeah, me too.

I just noticed the single disks for "Beginning of the End" and "Hellcats" are both in the $100 range.

I am glad I did not put off too long getting any of these. I almost missed out on Vols. 9&10, but when I heard about their impending scarcity I scoured the store shelves around town until I found them.

I've never read any news about Vol 9 being recalled, but its rarity seems to indicate it was indeed called back at some point. I read an online rumor it had to do with rights to "Women of the Prehistoric Planet".

I have them all since they are all day one purchases for me, but I agree. These sets and single disc releases could climb into the thousands of dollars and I could never sell any of them.

I don't know where you're shopping but Beginning of the End is much cheaper than that.

Glad I bought Hellcats last year before it shot up.

Sigh.. I planned to get these all eventually (besides 9 and 10 which I knew were already out of print), but I figured I'd have more time. I found out about 7 and 8 maybe last week and ran around crazy trying to find them (finally did in a b&m store, all online places are sold out). Now to do the same with 4? Yuck.

I'm just getting into MST3K and thanks to this thread I just literally bought the last copy of Vol. 8 from amazon.ca. I really hope they get re-released in some fashion.

Shout Factory has been asked if they have any plans to re-release episodes previously put on DVD by Rhino. Their response was that they are considering it, but there is the matter of Rhino's rights. While Rhino no longer has the general MST3K license and can't put out new MST3K DVDs, they have rights to the shows they have put on DVD for a certain amount of time. So eventual re-release for some of these is possible, there's just no real timetable for it.

Plus, at the current rate of release, 16 episodes per year, it will take years to release all the remaining episodes that have not had ANY release, let alone double-dipping in re-release territory.

In fact, if anyone from Shout Factory happens to read this, please consider the following: many speculators have horded the OOP Rhino sets. Should Shout start double-dipping into titles previously released by Rhino, those speculators will dump their horded product on the market as a bad investment, thus depressing Shout's ability to sell their re-releases.

Re: MST3K Collections: Vol 1, 3 and 10 going OOP...

I'm glad I didn't sell mine few years ago. I have 1-5, and 7, and all the single disc ones. I would have bought the rest, but I don't really watch them more than once, since I've seen them off of tapes/dap or when they aired. I might have to get rid of a few of the harder to find ones if they don't have my favorite episodes.

In fact, if anyone from Shout Factory happens to read this, please consider the following: many speculators have horded the OOP Rhino sets. Should Shout start double-dipping into titles previously released by Rhino, those speculators will dump their horded product on the market as a bad investment, thus depressing Shout's ability to sell their re-releases.
Well I think the number of licensable titles drying up is a bigger concern than the timeframe to release them. As much as I'd absolutely love to see every episode eventually get a release, it'd require a miracle.

I think Shout Factory should focus on new episodes simply because there are so many unreleased and I'd like to see as many as possible. But I disagree with your reason for not re-releasing Rhino episodes - anything to devalue hoarder tactics and put purchasing power back in the hands of real fans is a positive in my book. There is a bigger market for these episodes than the number of hoarded copies out there, and most people would rather purchase from reputable retailers than oportunistic eBayers.

Well, I understand as a consumer and a fan you disagree with me and wish for certain episodes to be re-released, but surely you can see how that could lead to depressing sales of Shout! re-issues...

Now that I have four of the Shout Factory! era releases, I have to say I prefer their approach to the packaging to that of Rhino's. The individually slim-cased DVDs lend themselves better to their handling and use. The Rhino cases, they seem to get dinged-up easily on their soft cardboard surfaces and are not going to be as durable over time and use.

Well no, I don't agree with you that hoarders would cause any significant effect on sales. I don't think there are that many hoarders, and I don't think the second-hand market would become such that people would buy the old versions off eBay over brand new copies of a new version from legitimate retailers. IMO of course.

I think the people that already own copies for themselves would be a much bigger factor. And I think Shout (and any company re-releasing any kind of DVD that has already previously been on the market) would be very aware of this.

I realize the KTMA episodes are very rough around the edges. However, I was happy to view some of the first KTMA footage I've ever seen within the "scrapbook" extras on the Shout! disks. I know it will not be to everyone's liking, not the least being the creators themselves, but I hope anyway Shout! will toss in a KTMA epsisode or two here and there in the months to come.
