Standard 'non-tin' release launching early due to sell-out demand for the Limited Edition Tin

This coming Tuesday, October 28th is the official release date for the Mystery Science Theater 3000 - 20th Anniversary Edition: Limited-Edition Tin Box Set from Shout! Factory. But our friends at Shout! have sent along a statement, informing that they've already shipped to retailers all copies of the tin version of the set. And most of these are apparently accounted for via pre-orders. It's going to be difficult to find these now, for all but the most dedicated fans.

As a result, Shout! is moving forward quickly with the "standard" release of the set, a version that will be without the tin package and certain other items (no lobby cards, no Crow figurine). It will be available starting on November 18. Here's the official statement from Shout! Factory about it:

    Due to an unexpected level of demand, all copies of the deluxe version of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Edition 4-DVD box set have shipped to retail outlets in advance of the October 28, 2008 release date.

    As a result, Shout! Factory is rush-releasing the standard version of the box set, which contains all four film episodes and DVD bonus features, but not the collectible tin box, the Crow T. Robot figurine, or lobby cards that are part of the deluxe version. The standard 4-DVD box set version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Edition will arrive in stores on November 18.

We don't have any more than that for you right now, but stay tuned and we'll update you if we find out anything further about this new "standard" version of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 - 20th Anniversary Edition release!
