    I briefly wanted to know how Shout! Factory keeps managing to bag the rights to so many otherwise unavailable movies. But, I figure I’d be better off not knowing; it’d only spoil the magic.

    Now, if they could get “Pumaman” or one of the Susan Hart Four, that’d be utterly astonishing.

    Shout! never ceases to amaze (and surprise) me. I mean, really, when the latest release was announced it knocked my socks off, but man, so does this one. It’s such a great time to be a MSTie! The Mole People, yessss!

    Fingers crossed for Terror From The Year 5000, The Deadly Mantis and Horror Of Party Beach at some point. I actually just saw the whole ep of 5000 about a year ago (had seen maybe the first 45 minutes or so back when it originally aired), and laughed like an idiot the whole way through, so if that ever gets an official release, I’ll be all over it.

    Worth it just for Alien from L.A. Magic Sword and Death Ray are great also. Never have seen the Mole People, so I am looking forward to that. Keep them coming Shout!

    REALLY good set. Mole People is a classic. “Down, down…”

    I’m with you guys with regards to Magic Sword and Alien From LA. My copies are so bad that I’ve never been able to enjoy the episodes. I’d love to watch them without the stress inherent in audio and video glitches.

    I would like to make this request. PLEASE, PLEASE, Shout Factory, do a TURKEY DAY themed set. Collect ALL Turkey Day bumpers and promos and release it in time for Thanksgiving 2013. The episodes you choose won’t matter. They’re ALL good. :)

    Thanks!

    Well, none of these rank super highly for me, but it’s great that Shout is getting them out there.

    Still keeping my fingers crossed for Horror of Party Beach and Pumaman.

    Not bad at all. The Magic Sword has been a favorite of mine so its nice to see that in there. Was hoping for The Leech Woman as one of the Universal choices but Mole People is ok.

    Danger! Death Ray and Alien from LA I have not seen before so Im looking foward to checking them out for the first time.

    I am looking foward to each set now more than ever thanks to Shout making deals with Universal and MGM for episodes. Lots more good stuff to come.

    I’m just so gosh darn happy to hear about the latest news on volume 26. For the past 2.5 months I went a little wiggy and started overindulging on my MST3K craving and let’s just say I better not look for any christmas, b’day or mother’s day gifts for the coming year.
    @ 52 Larry: I had to smile when I saw your choices because it almost matched mine. If you had included “Space Children” that would have been exact.
    Also glad to see many on this board mention “Horror of Party Beach” .

    Hope someone takes note. (hint, hint)

    Let the speculation begin for Volume 27
    201- Rocketship XM
    420 The Day the Earth Froze
    519 – Outlaw
    802 – The Leech Woman
    I think we will get the Amazing Transparent Man and the Incredible Melting Man in a couple of volumes down the road..and Village of the Giants…all the MGM titles are coming as are the Universals – I will not give up on Rocketship XM, I have only waited maybe about 10 years now…since Rhino Volume 1 :D

    I’ll enjoy the heck out of The Magic Sword (Joel: “You know, I was just thinking, this is pretty good for a Bert I Gordon movie.”).

    I’ll hate the holy heck out of ‘Danger Death Ray’ for its ridiculous premise, it’s horrible dubbing, the fact that the death ray only gets about 2 minutes of screen-time, and that stupid ‘you’re worse than an —-‘ line the boss gives out.

    I’ll try to stomach ‘Alien from LA,’ but I doubt I’ll be able to stand much of the helium-enhanced voice work.

    And, I’ll watch ‘The mole people’ for the first time.

    @42 You probably grew up with stuff like that too. Ultraman, etc. :)
    @laura. I’m used to getting that reaction. But I think you’d probably just want to watch it with me and then go back to your main squeeze. I’d have pizza, beer and all… it’s a good deal!

    Hurray for Universal! Sure they’ll milk this and we’ll probably only get one episode per box, but hey, keep them coming! Mole People is one I used to have taped but the tape got destroyed. Deadly Mantis, The Undead and Terror from the Year 5000 are the only Sci-Fi eps I was never able to tape and therefore have seen the least of. Of them, I think only Deadly Mantis is Universal but still.

    Wow, nice selection! I’ll be getting this one for sure.

    I’ll admit, I didn’t like “Alien from LA” at first. But, I gave it a second chance and now it’s one of my favorites. Can’t wait to get it on DVD quality now!

    I’m most excited about Mole People, because of John Agar. He is one of my Four Horseman of the Awesomepocalypse.

    They are:

    * John Agar (natch)
    * Jeff Morrow
    * Rex Reason
    * Rod Taylor

    I work at a store that sells dvds and blue rays. I won’t say where or what the name is. But I swear, that a guy who looked and talked just like Torgo came in asking for the new collection, which we don’t carry. He didn’t move or dress like Torgo. At least, he didn’t move like Torgo in his original incarnation. Like Torgo the White, he stood up and walked straight.

    #38 – Man, I’m really thinking hard here but am all thunked out, but I KNOW there is an MST disc (I believe it’s a Rhino release, so may be hard to come by these days) that has an on-camera interview with Mr. BIG himself, his daughter, and Joe Turkel (Turkel was the slimy beat guy in Tormented). Anyway, so I just remembered it’s the Tormented disc, but I can’t remember what box set that one’s in. Anyway, check it out, if you can.

    Another great collection . . . of course, I feel that way about all of them, just hoping against hope that the well doesn’t run dry . . .

    So, what are we down to after Vol. 26? Sixty-two more episodes? Five or six years? Is that enough time to wear down Susan Hart, and track down the owner of the Pumaman rights to his cabin up the Amazon, or atop a mountain somewhere?

    I know the chances of all of them getting a release are next to not at all, but who could have predicted that Shout would unlock the door to Universal and MGM? I won’t put anything past those guys, they’re miracle workers.

    Now, if “The Day the Earth Froze” could just get a berth in a 2013 release. We need us some Sampo!

    Hey! My “gateway drug” episode finally sees release. We didn’t have Comedy Central until after MST3K left it. However MTV one day was airing Alien From L.A. And the rest is history.

    First time poster, but I felt I had to chime in. This is, without a doubt, the finest news I have heard in many (MST) years. I own every official disk and/or set, and have all other episodes on DVD-R, but… three of my all-time favorite episodes on one release? How could they know? So damn sweet…

    …and Alien From L.A. is really good, too!

    Laura? You’re taken?

    Then have HIM get you these sets! IIRC, there’s a holiday coming up rather soon. (Otherwise — if I were you, I’d find someone else. Actually, a significant other who doesn’t understand how important MST3K is? That’s a showstopper without a second thought).

    (But please don’t tell me HE’S unemployed as well — because that’s another showstopper ).

    Nice! One of the better sets in terms of episode selection. I will be getting this one for sure, if just to get high quality versions of Alien From L.A. and Danger: Death Ray. The online/DAP uploads of these episodes are quite poor, video-wise.

    #93 — I don’t think you need to add anything. If Laura’s fellow isn’t a MSTIE, or if he doesn’t love her enough to get her something she so obviously NEEDS, then he’s not a keeper.

    (My wife would dump me in a hot New York minute if I was like that, and we’ve been married for many decades now. If I didn’t enjoy the show as much as she did I doubt whether we’d have lasted even a year).

    Laura — I promise you that you’re worth it (I can say this without knowing anything else about you except you love MST3K. That’s a quality sign in and of itself).
