Sam & Max attempt to foil a blimp hijacking, only to find the demented terrorist is Lorne, The Friend for Life.
That probably had something to do with it. But given the fact that the show aired in the 90's and LONG before 9-11, I don't understand why it is missing from the original air date either.
Just preordered the collection from Amazon. I figured this would also be a good time to finally get Hit the Road so I picked that up for about $35 on Amazon. Hopefully HTR will get here this week.
In other news, I believe my total for money spent on Sam and Max stuff this week just went up to about $130 or so. >_>
I'm curious. Does anyone know how much shipping to Ireland from Shout! Factory is? It's just TT's shipping is 9.95 dollars and I would prefer a cheaper option.
Still, I hate checking Amazon and seeing the shipping in sterling. Then, realizing how much more it is in euros But , I might just ask my dad (owner of the almighty credit card) to pay for shipping.
We got a few advance copies of the discs at the office a couple weeks ago, and I just finished watching through all three discs last night. The show still isn't entirely my cup of tea, but had a lot more funny and very Sam & Max feeling moments than I remember, and I was genuinely bummed out when I got through the last episode -- an episode in which it felt like it finally clicked for the team what the show should be about, how it should look, how the characters should move etc -- and realized that there would be no more. Also, the whole package is done very nicely, with menus very reminiscent of the show, and a nice handful of special features. I haven't flicked through the show bible yet, but the Comic-Con footage of Steve talking and sketching was cool to see (though they did frequently edit it so it looked like he was all alone talking to himself!). It's an all-around quality set - a far cooler treatment than I ever expected the Sam & Max cartoon show to get - so all of you who watched the show back in the day and are looking forward to the disc are most likely in for a treat.
If you visit www.shoutfactory.com , you can see Steve's video greeting to the site. The greetings are located in the television on the left-hand side and are totally random (cast members from My So-Called Life, Richard Thompson, The Bangles, etc.), so you might have to refresh a few times, but he's there. And he has guests with him.
Thanks for the kind words, Jake. Glad you liked the set.

I got lucky and got it as soon as I clicked the site.
Maybe Steve should have a Sam & Max art show. Something fancy with wine, top hats and canes.
We no longer wear top hats, and the canes are just for the people who have trouble walking. But the wine is still around. And depending on the demographic, it is often out numbered by beer 5 to 1!! At least at our art shows.

What are you talking about?!?! I wouldn't be caught dead outside without my top hat and at least 2 monocles I would feel naked otherwise.

xChri5x on page 20, posted a link to CD Universe who are doing pre-orders for USD $14.14 and ships internationally for $8 standard and $11 expedited.
It's been at that price for awhile so I think it's staying that way.
Wow, looking around. Circuit City and Overstock.com are preordering it at about $20. Didn't think other major retailers would actually have a lower price than Amazon!
The seller actually has the item so it should be here in less than 2 weeks! I'm surprised no one else bid on the auction though. Not only did I pay significantly less than I would in stores, I'm going to be getting it a few weeks before the release date!
Yeah, I'd really like to know who's selling it early. I mean, retailers don't even have it, yet, so it would be someone who is somehow affiliated with the plant or an online critic that's selling the copy we sent them.

Why is the episode 'missing'?

Nope, I have seen the episode, just in poor quality.
Anyone knows if it is a region free dvd or USA/Canada only?

EDIT: amazon price inc shipping to the UK is $33.47 apparently
Ha ha! Love the review!
Eeek! 33.47 dollars! I knew it would be steep but Eeek! :eek:
P.S. Are you on Amazon.com or .co.uk
that is only a bit above £15 which isn't at all bad for a dvd set a season of say futurama retails at £39.99 but sells at £17.99
EDIT: that is .com
Thanks for the kind words, Jake. Glad you liked the set.

Never noticed this on shout factory before :O

The Sam & Max fan in me just wants a copy.
