Why are MST3K DVDs so expensive?

Thirty-five bucks for four episodes? Yes, I know they're 95 minutes
long, but still. Is it to cover the cost of the rights? I'm glad to
line the pockets of Mike Nelson and the rest of those geniuses, but do I
have to line them so heavily?

$9.95 each?--
Buy one of the old previous Rhino one-disks at Suncoast and get back to
us, 'kay?

It's a bit steep, I admit. But, it's not easy to get these things on disc,
and they won't be selling in Matrix-like numbers.

To justify the expense, I suggest ordering from the MST3k Info Club.
Their website is www.mst3kinfo.com. If you have to pay full price, at
lease make sure the profit goes to Best Brains, and not some retailer.

Their service is great, too. They've always treated my inquiries very
courteously.

I have no complaints on the price. I just think that the selection of movies
for the upcoming set is really bad....and I don't mean in a good way.

If he thinks $35 for four is high, then $10 each prolly won't be blowing his
skirt up either. I, for one, have every intention of ordering one of each
from suncoast when and if I see some birthday cash in a couple weeks....
