Oh man, that IS bad. I wonder how many orders went unfulfilled if that went overlooked until now.

Maybe this can be the impetus for a limited run DVD release of the KTMA season, which is what I was secretly hoping the mystery gift was gonna be. :getin:

They sent out an official email to everyone who added the mystery gift (which is the same thing they sent me as a reply) so here it is:

quote:

Dearest MST3K Add-On Backer,

If you’re receiving this email, it means that you ordered the MST3K MYSTERY GIFT as an Add-On Reward when you filled out BackerKit and that it wasn’t in your recent shipment of rewards.

Ivan here. As much as it pains me to deliver bad news, this is totally our fault.

(Please don’t panic: we’re going to do our best to take good care of you. Keep reading and I’ll explain.)

WHAT HAPPENED
After the most recent rewards shipped, and a number of you contacted us about missing Mystery Gifts, we discovered that there was a setting in BackerKit that we somehow missed. As a result, you were charged for your Mystery Gift(s), but we didn’t know about your order when we coordinated reward production with the factory, and didn’t order enough units of the Mystery Gift.

WHAT THAT MEANS
Right now, we don’t have enough of the original Mystery Gift to send you the Add-On reward you’ve paid for. And, because we already spent most of your contribution making Season 11, we don’t have the money to offer you a full refund. (And even if we could, that would be pretty disappointing after all this time.) If you’re upset about this, please know that we’re just as upset, and we are going to figure out how to make it up to you.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW
We’re talking with the manufacturer of the Mystery Gift to find out if it’s possible to place another order for the additional gifts that we need. We’ll know soon, but even if we are able to do that, it could take until next spring for them to arrive and get to you — which, we know, totally sucks.

We’re also exploring a bunch of alternate options, including possible exchanges for other rewards of equal or greater value, because we don’t want anyone to be disappointed. We don’t know what’s possible yet, but we’ll do our best to get more information for you in the next week or two.

For the moment, please just know that — as disappointing as I know this might be — we haven’t forgotten about you, and we’re not going to leave you hanging. It might take some extra time, but we’ll do our best to make you happy, and to make up for the disappointment.

I’ll send you another email as soon as we have more information.

In the meantime, we’re sorry (again) for this mixup, and we’re so grateful for your patience — we hope you enjoyed the other rewards you received, and are still enjoying Season 11. We’re hoping to have more news about Season 12 very soon, so stay tuned.

Thanks for reading, and for understanding.

Sheepishly,
Ivan

It would be a great deal if they gave you better stuff instead. The blurays cost as much as the funko thing.

I took the Blu-rays instead of the mystery gift originally, which is how I ended up in this situation. I agree though; I'm definitely curious to see what options they come up with that aren't the funko pop, since those aren't really something I collect.

Originally, they were supposed to have the first three episodes of the season, but way back in one of the early updates they said the episodes probably wouldn't fit.

Just rewatched Time Chasers for the first time in nearly a decade. It really is one of the best episodes of the show between the lovingly silly movie, the riffs, and the host segments.

They did a revist of Time Chasers with Rifftrax and were able to get a different cut of the movie with some extra scenes. Also for a while now Rifftrax has been doing other movies from Edgewood Entertainment, the studio behind Time Chasers.

It really is a great episode. I've used Space Mutiny in the past to try to get people into the show, but the Host Segments always come off wrong. Whereas I love the segment when Mike and Crow float over to Pearl's car for a quick chat. Its got that warm charm while still being a bit "evil" in that fun way.

Its a great episode in so many ways.

"Hi. I'm Bob Evil!"

Also everything involving his office is comedy gold.

I love that film, though I totally agree with Mike and Tom during the fist fight. Something along the lines of...

"I'm more bland!"
"No, I am!"
"I defy you to remember my character's name!"

He didn’t say anything about a new season, and mentions that the current season is the highest-rated show on netflix if you go by rotten tomatoes averages, which is a pretty weak measure.

The Turkey Day Marathon is going to start at 12 Eastern.

Shout Factory website and app, MST3K* Twitch channel, YouTube, and on the MST3K Pluto.tv channel.

The Twitch one was fun last year, the comment stream tended to the funny rather than I'm-A-12-Year-Old-Being-Edgy.

* - or Shout Factory Twitch can't remember which
