Any threads here reviewing the old DVD's??

[primatives]

Hi can anyone direct me to any reviews on these DVD's. I live in Australia and was thinking about getting seasons 4 onwards but have read that its not in order.

Technically, no one knows the exact order, not even Mr. Fred Wolf himself. There aren't any threads started for the purpose of reviewing them, to the best of my knowledge, but as a person who owns them all, I can give you my opinions. The season 4 box IS pretty haphazardly arranged, but it's a very economical deal at 50 cents an ep for 40 eps. Season 5 is a purchase well worth it just for the creative packaging. Season 6 was nothing special, but for the sake of completion... Season 7: be sure to get the 4-disc release unless you really want the mini-figures. For Season 8, the first 'red sky' season, it might be in your best interest to wait for an Aussie domestic release. The colors were pretty screwy on those 8 eps... consistently so, so it's not too much of an eye-sore, but maybe AU will fix that when they get to it. And, that's where they left US. We're waiting on the last two 8-ep seasons, and 2 others they skipped over ("ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" and the double-length, prime-time special, "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS").

Ah thank you very much for that! I have been trying to figure out what to buy. Australia just release season 4 on 3 discs and seeing as its from Lionsgate as well its prob the same. I'll get it from the US so much cheaper and i can jump stragiht to season 8 :)

gobo: Wasn't "The Turtles And The Hare" left out too?? I hope if they release Season 9 that it works out because despite the decent action, the additions of Carter and Dregg and even the unstable mutations weren't welcome at the time.

Season 4 on 3 discs?? Must be just the syndicated eps?

No, we actually got that one twice. Once on Volume 6, then again on the immediately-following Season 4 boxset. Surely, they MEANT to put the other Hokum ep on Season 4's set.

Wow, I had no idea. I knew "Plan 6..." was on Volume 6, but not "The Turtles And The Hare". Interesting...

Whoops! :embarass: My mistake. "PLAN SIX FROM OUTER SPACE" is actually the one I was thinking about that we got twice. But, "THE TURTLES AND THE HARE" was on the last disc of Season 4, after all the CBS eps.

BTW, anyone who has read on official websites that Australia's Volume w/e DVD has "ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE", do NOT believe it. Theirs are just R4 clones of the R1 DVDs. Somehow, the merchant sites got a proposed listing of eps that place the Euro-cruise eps immediately after "PLAN SIX FROM OUTER SPACE" and finish off the syndicated eps before moving on to the CBS eps. However, looking at the back covers posted by some eBay sellers who apparently noticed this inconsistency, this is entirely false advertising.

Season 7: be sure to get the 4-disc release unless you really want the mini-figures.
Um... hi! Can I ask, too? Is there any thread reviewing classiс Season 7 DVD in particular? I am confused wich edition of this to buy, 'cuz I still don't know what kind of figures is that (and thus do I even need 'em)... I mean, it looks like regular version of old Playmates toys but is it the same size? Maybe there's some pictures?

Sure, here is the thread that discusses Season 7. The figures do look just like the original figures of the Turtles, but they are much smaller.

Ah, yes. Sorry, must be slip out of my sight. Thank you.
