Mystery Science Theater 3000 Vol. 12 Preorder

In a pleasant surprise, Amazon opened up its preorder window for Mystery Science Theater 3000, Vol. 12 today. Given some of the rights issues these releases have been encountering—especially that of Volume 10, which was pulled not long after release—it’s probably worth it to get in early. (Unfortunately, Volume 10 now goes for upwards of $250.00, and it’s not known if the rights will ever be renegotiated with Toho for Godzilla vs. Megalon to allow a re-release.)

Volume 12’s Episode List:

• 419 – The Rebel Set (Short: Johnny at the Fair)
• 504 – Secret Agent Super Dragon
• 612 – The Starfighters
• 811 – Parts: The Clonus Horror

…along with a suitable stable of extras, of course.

On a related note, MST3K-successor The Film Crew has two more releases in the next two months:

• Wild Women of Wongo, due out on September 11th (Preview)
• Giant of Marathon, out on October 7th (Preview)

It’s not known if there will be any more releases beyond the initial four, but if sales are brisk enough how could they say no?

Stay tuned for reviews of the first two installments here in the near future.
